This patch introduces a kernel module to expose a capsule loader interface (misc char device file note) for users to upload capsule binaries. Example: cat firmware.bin > /dev/efi_capsule_loader Any upload error will be returned while doing "cat" through file operation write() function call.

This module installs a reboot hook, such that if reboot() is
|
|
invoked with a string argument NNN, "NNN" is copied to the
|
|
"LoaderEntryOneShot" EFI variable, to be read by the
|
|
bootloader. If the string matches one of the boot labels
|
|
defined in its configuration, the bootloader will boot once
|
|
to that label. The "LoaderEntryRebootReason" EFI variable is
|
|
set with the reboot reason: "reboot" or "shutdown". The
|
|
bootloader reads this reboot reason and takes particular
|
|
action according to its policy.
