r-efi-alloc 2.1.0

// Example: Hello World!
//
// This example extends the Hello-World example from the `r-efi` crate. The
// main entry-point now installs a global rust allocator and calls into the
// `efi_run()` function. The latter then prints the string "Hello World!\n" to
// console-out, waits for any key-input, and returns.
//
// Unlike the original example, here we make use of the global allocator by
// using the types from rust's `alloc::*` crate. These needs dynamic
// allocations, and we can now serve them by providing the allocator from
// `r-efi-alloc`.
//
// To integrate the allocator with rust, we need to provide a global variable
// annotated as `#[global_allocator]`. It must implement the `GlobalAlloc`
// trait. We use the `Bridge` type from our crate to serve this.

// This is the main UEFI entry point, called by the UEFI environment when the
// application is spawned. We use it to create an allocator and attach it to
// the global allocator bridge. Then we invoke the `efi_run()` function as if
// it was the main entry-point. Since the attachment is dropped after
// `efi_run()` returns, the allocator is available throughout the entire
// runtime.
//
// Note that both calls here require unsafe code:
//
//  * Allocator::from_system_table(): We must guarantee `SystemTable` survives
//        longer than the allocator object we create. This is trivially true
//        here, since we pass in the system-table from the UEFI core, which is
//        guaranteed to outlive us. However, we must make sure not to call
//        ExitBootServices() and friends, obviously.
//
//  * Bridge::attach(): This function is unsafe, since it requires the caller
//        to guarantee that all memory allocations are released before it is
//        detached. Since we do not perform allocations ourselves here, we know
//        that they must be released before `efi_run()` returns. Hence, we are
//        safe as well.
//
// Lastly, we use the `LoaderData` annotation for all memory allocations.
// Depending on your UEFI application type you might want different allocators
// for different operations. The rust global allocator is a fixed type, so you
// need to use custom-allocators for all allocations that need to be put in
// different memory regions.
