Raymund Will from Novell/SuSE

complained about them. Patch submitted by Jesse Barnes from SGI.
2003-09-29 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* updated elf_ia64_efi.lds to reflect new data sections
created by gcc-3.3. Patch provided by Andreas Schwab from Suse.
2003-06-20 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* updated elf_ia64_efi.lds and elf_ia32_efi.lds to include
new types data sections produced by recent version of gcc-3.x
2002-02-22 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* release 3.0a
* modified both IA-64 and IA-32 loader scripts to add support for the
new .rodata sections names (such as rodata.str2.8). Required
for new versions of gcc3.x.
2001-06-20 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* release 3.0
* split gnu-efi package in two different packages: the libary+include+crt and the bootloader.
* removed W2U() hack and related files to get from wide-char to unicode.
* Use -fshort-wchar option for unicode.
* restructured Makefiles now install under INSTALLROOT.
2001-04-06 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* incorporated patches from David and Michael Johnston at Intel
to get the package to compile for IA-32 linux target.
* Fixed ELILO to compile for Ia-32 (does not execute yet, though):
Makefile and start_kernel() function.
2001-04-06 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
* Fixed config.c to
get the timeout directive to do something. implemented the global
root= directive.
* Fix the efi_main() to deal with the -C option properly
2001-04-05 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* update efi library to latest EFI toolkit 1.02 as distributed
by Intel. Fixed header + library files to compile with GCC
* merged ELI and LILO (as of gnu-efi-1.1) together, mostly
taking the config file feature of ELI.
* renamed LILO to ELILO to make the distinction
* restructured code to make it easier to understand and maintain
* fixed FPSWA driver checking and loading: we try all possible
files and let the driver itself figure out if it is the most
recent.
* added support for compression (gzip) but keep support for plain
ELF image. ELILO autodetects the format
* change the way the kernel is invoked. Now we call it in
physical memory mode. This breaks the dependency between the
kernel code and the loader. No more lilo_start.c madness.
* changed the way the boot_params are passed. We don't use the
ZERO_PAGE_ADDR trick anymore. Instead we use EFI runtime memory.
The address of the structure is passed to the kernel in r28
by our convention.
* released as gnu-efi-2.0
2001-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c (_relocate): Change return type from "void"
to "int". Return error status if relocation fails for some
reason.
* gnuefi/elf_ia32_efi.lds: Drop unneeded ".rel.reloc" section.
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (_start): Exit if _relocate() returns with
non-zero exit status.
* inc/ia32/efibind.h [__GNUC__]: Force 8-byte alignment for 64-bit
types as that is what EFI appears to be expecting, despite the
"#pragma pack()" at the beginning of the file!
2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
(_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.

2000-10-26 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Mention .rela.sdata.
* Make.defaults (CFLAGS): Remove -nostdinc flags so we can pick
up the C compiler's stdarg.h.
* inc/stdarg.h: Remove this file. It's not correct for gcc (nor
most other optimizing compilers).
2000-10-10 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* cleaned up the error message and printing of those.
* added support to load the FPSWA from a file in case support is not
present in the firmware already
* fixed split_args() to do the right thing when you have leading spaces
before kernel name
* changed the argify() function to rely on \0 instead of LoadOptionSize
as the field seems to be broken with current firmware
* bumped version to 1.0
2000-10-04 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: Reserve space for up to 750 function descriptors.
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .sdata section for small data and
put __gp in the "middle" of it.
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia64.S (_start): Use movl/add to load
gp-relative addresses that could be out of the range of the addl
offset.
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S (_relocate): Ditto.
* apps/Makefile: Remove standard rules and include Make.rules instead.
* lilo/Makefile: Ditto.
* Make.rules: New file.
2000-08-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* released version 0.9
* incorporated ACPI changes for Asuza by NEC < kouchi@hpc.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>
* added support for initrd (-i option) original ELI code from Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>)
* lots of cleanups
* got rid of #ifdef LILO_DEBUG and uses macro instead
* fix a few extra memory leaks in create_boot_params()
* added exit capability just before starting the kernel
2000-06-22 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .srodata, .ctors, .IA64.unwind,
.IA64.unwind_info to .data section and .rela.ctors to .rela
section.
2000-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* lilo/lilo.c (LILO_VERSION): Up version number to 0.9.
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Include .IA_64.unwind and
.IA_64.unwind_info in .data segment to avoid EFI load error
"ImageAddress: pointer outside of image" error due to the .dynsym
relocations against these sections.
* ChangeLog: Moved from lilo/ChangeLogs.
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: fixed typo: .space directive had constant
100 hardcoded instead of using MAX_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS
macro. Duh.
Fri Mar 17 15:19:18 PST 2000 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* Released 0.8
* replace the getopt.c with new version free with better license
* created a documentation file
* fix a couple of memory leaks
* code cleanups
* created a separate directory for lilo in the gnu-efi package.
* added support for the BOOT_IMAGE argument to kernel
* default is to build natively now
