When running with a graphical console, no message whatsoever is printed when the systems hits an unexpected exception and hangs, because even the minimal 'exception occurred' message is only sent to the serial port.
So let's fix that, by updating DefaultExceptionHandlerLib to take the availability of a console into account. (#5) This requires some preparatory decruftication so that we can safely refer to the system table and console (#1 .. #4). Changes since v1: - split off ArmVirtPkg patch (#3) - always send minimal error message to the serial port before attempting to send it to console->stdout as well (which is more likely to fail) (#5) - add Leif's R-b to the series Ard Biesheuvel (5): ArmPkg/DebugAgentSymbolsBaseLib: remove exception handling ArmPkg/DefaultExceptionHandlerLib: declare the permitted usage context ArmVirtPkg: drop reference to ArmPkg/DefaultExceptionHandlerLibBase ArmPkg/DefaultExceptionHandlerLib: drop BASE variant ArmPkg/DefaultExceptionHandlerLib: use console if available ArmPkg/ArmPkg.dsc | 1 - .../AArch64/DebugAgentException.S | 96 ------ .../Arm/DebugAgentException.S | 277 ------------------ .../Arm/DebugAgentException.asm | 273 ----------------- .../DebugAgentSymbolsBaseLib.c | 7 - .../DebugAgentSymbolsBaseLib.inf | 9 - .../AArch64/DefaultExceptionHandler.c | 12 +- .../Arm/DefaultExceptionHandler.c | 7 +- .../DefaultExceptionHandlerBase.c | 35 --- .../DefaultExceptionHandlerLib.inf | 5 +- .../DefaultExceptionHandlerLibBase.inf | 45 --- ArmVirtPkg/ArmVirt.dsc.inc | 1 - 12 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 749 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 ArmPkg/Library/DebugAgentSymbolsBaseLib/AArch64/DebugAgentException.S delete mode 100644 ArmPkg/Library/DebugAgentSymbolsBaseLib/Arm/DebugAgentException.S delete mode 100644 ArmPkg/Library/DebugAgentSymbolsBaseLib/Arm/DebugAgentException.asm delete mode 100644 ArmPkg/Library/DefaultExceptionHandlerLib/DefaultExceptionHandlerBase.c delete mode 100644 ArmPkg/Library/DefaultExceptionHandlerLib/DefaultExceptionHandlerLibBase.inf -- 2.17.1 _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
