Additionally, if the user specified something invalid, do not autodetect the
ESP but return with a journal error. It seems wrong to ignore what the user
explicitly set and perhaps do something dangerous.
Alternative to https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/pull/599
Previously if missing secure boot binaries, or invalid ESP was created the
plugin would just not load.
Now instead populate UpdateError and remove the updateble flag, but still show
the device in fwupdmgr and fwupdtool.
Check across a list of common EFI system partition locations for a mounted
location before starting fwupd.
This also will cause the plugin to not initialize if the EFI system partition
is not mounted.
If the user is using some super-old kernel or broken system we want to return
early with an error rather than try to catch each way this can fail at runtime.
This pivots the data storage so that the group is used as the preconditon
and the key name is used as the parameter to change. This allows a more natural
data flow, where a new device needs one new group and a few few keys, rather
than multiple groups, each with one key.
This also allows us to remove the key globbing when matching the version format
which is often a source of confusion.
Whilst changing all the quirk files, change the key prefixes to be more familiar
to Windows users (e.g. Hwid -> Smbios, and FuUsbDevice -> DeviceInstanceId)
who have to use the same IDs in Windows Update.
This also allows us to pre-match the desired plugin, rather than calling the
probe() function on each plugin.
Using just the default GUID is fragile and might break if the GUIDs get added
in the 'wrong' order or if the GUID list is sorted.
Fixes https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/518
Several places in the UEFI plugin operate on the default GUID rather
than iterating a list of GUIDs. This is normally fine since UEFI
GUIDs are tied to the ESRT and normally one FuDevice shouldn't
have multiple GUIDs.
The alternate GUID was added to set parents accordingly but this
caused no CAB files to be able to install.
Fixes: cc664d7d (amt: Put the AMT device as a child under the system UEFI firmware)
This allows plugins to set and explicit build-time version. It also uses the
same AppStream component-ID scheme rather than the home-grown 'FooVersion' key.
Also, use the new runtime and compile-time versions in the report metadata.
Due to the key change we'll also need to update some LVFS rules.
In some cases firmware can only be installed with an up to date GUsb (e.g. with
some STM-DFU hardware) or with a new version of fwupdate (e.g. any UEFI
UpdateCapsule without a capsule header).
We should be able to match against other software versions like we can the
fwupd version, e.g.
<requires>
<id compare="ge" version="0.9.2">org.freedesktop.fwupd</id>
<id compare="ge" version="11">com.redhat.fwupdate</id>
</requires>
Also, rather than checking each requirement we know about on the component,
check each requirement on the component about things we know. This ensures we
don't allow firmware to be installs that requires for instance fwupdate 22 when
the runtime version is only being added in fwupdate 12 and up.
This means the following is now an error that will fail to allow the firmware
to be installed:
<requires>
<firmware>doesnotexist</firmware>
<some_future_tag>also_unknown</some_future_tag>
</requires>
Also add a lot of self tests to test the various new failure modes.
Fixes https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/463
GLib creates two static inline functions for paramaters that may
not be used that set off warnings in clang but not gcc.
Ignore these on clang builds everywhere that
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC is used.
The work for this landed in what will turn into efivar 33.
Later down the road when efivar 33 is in most the major distros
this can be removed and a requirement set for efivar 33.
This makes more sense; we're updating the device, not the plugin itself.
This also means we don't need to funnel everything through callbacks like
GFileProgressCallback and we can also update the state without adding an
explicit callback to each derived device type.
This allows us to show the devices in a GUI with a nice icon. Some of the icon
mappings are not perfect and I'll be asking the GNOME designers for some
additions to the icon specification.
Custom vendor icons can also be specified, and /usr/share/fwupd/icons would be
a good place to put them. If vendor icons are used they should show a physical
device with the branding, rather than just the vendor logo.
Over the months the original meaning of ALLOW_OFFLINE and ALLOW_ONLINE have be
lost, and there is now a confusing mixture of uses in the source tree. With this
commit we make it clear the UPDATABLE flag is used to specify when the device is
updatable (e.g. from the desktop live session, or from the systemd offline
updates mode, or both) and the NEEDS_REBOOT flag lets us know when the update
is actually going to be done.
For instance, a UEFI UpdateCapsule can be *scheduled* from either the desktop
or from the update mode (but the latter would be a bit weird), but does require
a reboot. Some devices might only be updatable outside the live session, for
instance a hard drive update or a GPU update -- there's just too much going on
with a live session and we want to tightly control what's running during the
firmware flash.
This also means we don't have to "retry" the update when scheduling an update
that really can be scheduled whenever, but just requires a reboot to apply.
The kernel offers two interfaces for manipulation of EFI variables.
Make sure that at least one of these is available.
If another interface is added (and supported by efivar) then this
list will need to be appended as well.
This was raised as a potential problem in #100.
Before:
$ fwupdmgr install XPS_test.cab
Retrying as an offline update...
Scheduling… UEFI firmware update failed: -1
After:
$ fwupdmgr install XPS_test.cab
Retrying as an offline update...
Scheduling… UEFI firmware update failed: libfwup.c:733 get_paths(): could not find shim or fwup on ESP: No such file or directory
This is a large commit that removes all the providers and turns them into
plugins. I think having both providers _and_ plugins was super confusing.
Plugins are loaded at runtime so you could in theory develop a new plugin
without putting it in the fwupd source tree, although there are no installed
headers or PC files as I'm not sure it's a good idea at this stage.
This commit moves all the per-provider docs, tests, notes, debug dumps and test
data to plugin-specific directories -- these also allows the plugin author to
"own" more of the source tree so we don't enforce fu- prefixes and the style
guide everywhere.
This allows us to run the same action on all the plugins in the future, so we
could have a prepare(FuPlugin, FuDevice) and cleanup(FuPlugin, FuDevice) run
on *all* plugins, so doing an update using one plugin would allow us to work
around hardware quirks in other plugins.
If I've broken your out-of-tree provider it's trivial to port to the new API
with sed and a fixed up build file. If you need help please let me know.
