[PATCH v2 1/2] MdeModulePkg/UefiBootManagerLib: new APIs for ultimate boot failure

[Ruiyu Ni]

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=982

When no boot option could be launched including platform recovery
options and options pointing to applications built into firmware
volumes, a platform callback registered through
EfiBootManagerRegisterUnableToBootHandler() is called.

Hi Ray,

thanks for this patch; I only have a request for updating a comment:

This comment paragraph should state the following:

  If this function returns EFI_UNSUPPORTED, BDS core attempts to enter
  an infinite loop of pulling up the Boot Manager Menu (if the platform
  includes the Boot Manager Menu). If the Boot Manager Menu is
  unavailable, BDS will hang.

  If this function returns EFI_SUCCESS, BDS will hang immediately.


The same update should be done to the "BmBoot.c" file, below.

With this update:

Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] MdeModulePkg/UefiBootManagerLib: new APIs for ultimate boot failure

[Ni, Ruiyu]

Laszlo,
I will post a V3 version that removes the registration mechanism, back
to the solution letting platform provides PlatformBootManagerUnableToBoot(),
based on the feedbacks I received.

[PATCH v2 2/2] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Call *UnableToBoot() for ultimate boot failure

[Ruiyu Ni]

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=982

The patch changes the default core behavior of ultimate boot failure
to launch Boot Manager Menu.
