Document efidev(4), provider of userland access to EFI Runtime Services. A link is created to efirtc(4), which handles the time-of-day clock side.
efirt(9) is the kernel side of this.

len % 1 is always true. Fix StrHexToBytes to do a proper odd length

ConvertFromTextVendor and DevPathFromTextMAC, which we've not had
a need to actually use just yet.

efivar_device_path_to_unix_path translates from UEFI to Unix
efivar_unix_path_to_device_path translates from Unix to UEFI
At present, only HD() device types are supported (both GPT and
MBR). CdRom and floppy devices aren't supported. ZFS isn't supported
because there's no way in the UEFI standard to specify a ZFS datastore.
Network devices aren't supported either.
Three forms of Unix path are accepted: /path/to/file (for a mounted
filesystem), //path/to/file (uses the EFI partition on the same disk
as /), and dev:/path/to/file (for unmounted filesystem). Two forms are
produced (the first and last).

We started out having Linux compatible libefivar interfaces. This was
in anticipation of porting the GPL'd efibootmgr to FreeBSD via a
port. However, since we need that functionality in the base, that port
isn't going to happened. It also appears that efivar is a private
library that's not used much outside a command line util and
efibootmgr. Reduce compatibility with the Linux version a little by
removing the mode parameter to efi_set_variable (which was unused on
FreeBSD, and not set to something useful in the code we'd
written). Also remove some efi error routines that were never
implemented and existed only to placate early GPL efibootmgr porting
experiments.

Fix allocating more memory for the names (unlikely to be needed, but
still best to get right) to ask for the length the kernel told use we
needed, not the old length of the variable. Mind the proper NUL that
we add in the space we allocate. Free the old name string before we
allcoate a new one to limit what we leak to the last one (free passed
in name for the last one in the list), and detect the last one by rv
!= 0 and errno == ENOENT, rather then just the former to avoid false
positives if errno happens to be ENOENT on entry.

efidp_size will return the size, in bytes, of a EFI device path
structure. This is a convenience wrapper in the same style as the
other linux routines. It's implemented by GetDevicePathSize from EDK2
we already needed for other things.

o Add File to the mUefiDevicePathLibDevPathFromTextTable table so we
don't include 'File()' in the supposed path name. This happens because
of a possible misfeature in the EDK2 code where any path that's not
recognized is treated as a File() node.
o Convert utf8 input into ucs2 output rather than just copying the
utf8 and hoping for the best (no good comes from that).
o Remove bogus comment about needing to add 1. The dummy array already
is length 1, so that's included in sizeof the struct, so there's no
need to add it.

Device paths encoded into the FILEPATH_DEVICE_PATH are UCS2 not
ASCII/UTF8. Convert to utf8 and print that when printing File
paths. Also, since File may be at the end of a long device path,
output File() around the path so it doesn't just show up as random
nodes that might accidentally match real node paths names and cause
errors.
*** CID 1372598: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
/lib/libefivar/efivar-dp-parse.c: 3612 in UefiDevicePathLibConvertTextToDeviceNode()
Dereferencing null pointer "FromText".
When ported from Tiano core, I commented this out with an ifdef. That
was in error because we're supposed to fallback to a filepath when
nothing else patches. Instead, restore the original code, but fix
DevPathFromTextFilePath to cope with the conversion to narrow
strings. Also, fix the off-by-one error in the size of the memory it
allocates.
The off by one error is documented in Tiano core bug

Paper over a coverity issue:
*** CID 1372592: API usage errors (BAD_COMPARE)
/lib/libefivar/efivar-dp-parse.c: 2723 in DevPathFromTextiSCSI()
Truncating the result of "strcmp" to "unsigned short" may cause it
to be misinterpreted as 0. Note that "strcmp" may return an integer
besides -1, 0, or 1.
We do this by making StrCmp return either 0 or 1 for equal or
not-equal. There's a bug in the DevPathFromTextiSCSI cast of the
return value and this workaround will fix it without breaking other
users of StrCmp (all of which test for == 0).
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440 has been filed
upstream to log this issue.

This commit implements the (mostly?) Linux compatible
efidp_format_device_path and efidp_parse_device_path APIs. These are
the only APIs exposed through this library. However, they are built on
code from Tianocore's EDK2 MdePkg. They are brought in as new files
here for reasons described in FreeBSD-update.
Symbol versioning will be introduced to control what's exported from
the EDK2 code.
Some structural changes may be necessary when we move to sharing with
sys/boot/efi.

the same API as the GPL'd version of this library. It implements the common
Linux API for programatically manipulating UEFI environment varibales using
the UEFI Runtime Services the kernel provides. It replaces the old efi
library since it is programmed to a different interface, but retails the
CHAR16 to UTF-8 and vice versa conversion routines. The new name is to match
Linux program's expectations.
