v4 cover x86: use EFI calling convention for efi_main on x86_64

UEFI specifies the calling convention used in Microsoft compilers; first arguments of a function are passed in (%rcx, %rdx, %r8, %r9).

All other compilers use System V ABI by default, passing first integer arguments of a function in (%rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %rcx, %r8, %r9).

These ABI also specify different sets of registers that must be preserved across function calls (callee-saved).

GCC allows using the Microsoft calling convention by adding the ms_abi attribute to a function declaration.

Current EFI implementation in U-Boot specifies EFIAPI for efi_main() in the test apps but uses default calling convention in lib/efi. The arguments of efi_main() are also passed as unused arguments to the _relocate() function.

Save efi_main() arguments in the startup code on x86_64; use EFI calling convention for _relocate() on x86_64; remove unused _relocate() arguments;
consistently use EFI calling convention for efi_main() everywhere.

v4:
Keeping .exit label in x86_64 startup code;
Also removed the unused _relocate() arguments for arm, x86, riscv.

v3:
Updated patch description.

v2:
Added EFIABI to _relocate() declaration.

Save efi_main() arguments in the startup code on x86_64; use EFI calling convention for _relocate() on x86_64; remove unused _relocate() arguments;

Thanks for working on this. But as I mentioned previously, the removal of _relocate() arguments should be in a separate patch. This patch should only deal with the calling convention changes.

So we should have 4 patches:
[1/4]: efi: calling convention changes for x86_64
[2/4]: x86: remove unused _relocate() arguments
[3/4]: arm: remove unused _relocate() arguments
[4/4]: riscv: remove unused _relocate() arguments

This still has the image argument.

PATCH v4 1/4 x86: use EFI calling convention for efi_main on x86_64

In reply to Bin Meng

Hi Ivan,

UEFI specifies the calling convention used in Microsoft compilers; first arguments of a function are passed in (%rcx, %rdx, %r8, %r9).

All other compilers use System V ABI by default, passing first integer arguments of a function in (%rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %rcx, %r8, %r9).

These ABI also specify different sets of registers that must be preserved across function calls (callee-saved).

GCC allows using the Microsoft calling convention by adding the ms_abi attribute to a function declaration.

Current EFI implementation in U-Boot specifies EFIAPI for efi_main() in the test apps but uses default calling convention in lib/efi. The arguments of efi_main() are also passed as unused arguments to the _relocate() function.

Save efi_main() arguments in the startup code on x86_64; use EFI calling convention for _relocate() on x86_64; remove unused _relocate() arguments;

Thanks for working on this. But as I mentioned previously, the removal of _relocate() arguments should be in a separate patch. This patch should only deal with the calling convention changes.

So we should have 4 patches:
[1/4]: efi: calling convention changes for x86_64
[2/4]: x86: remove unused _relocate() arguments
[3/4]: arm: remove unused _relocate() arguments
[4/4]: riscv: remove unused _relocate() arguments

So far I did not see you posted a newer version of patch series to remove unused _relocate() arguments for x86/arm/riscv. Will you do that?

consistently use EFI calling convention for efi_main() everywhere.
