This opcode helps vendors to add new IFR opcodes that are not defined in the UEFI specification. This is a method for UEFI specification extension. +``` +EFI_IFR_GUID + +Summary: +A GUIDed operation. This op-code serves as an extensible op-code which can be defined by the Guid value to have various functionality. It should be noted that IFR browsers or scripts which cannot interpret the meaning of this GUIDed op-code will skip it. + +Prototype: + +#define EFI_IFR_GUID_OP 0x5F + +typedef struct _EFI_IFR_GUID { + EFI_IFR_OP_HEADER Header; + EFI_GUID Guid; +//Optional Data Follows +} EFI_IFR_GUID; + +Parameters: +Header The sequence that defines the type of opcode as well as the length of the opcode being defined. + For this tag, Header.OpCode = EFI_IFR_GUID_OP +Guid The GUID value for this op-code. This field is intended to define a particular type of special-purpose function, + and the format of the data which immediately follows the Guid field (if any) is defined by that particular GUID. +``` + +If you parse our binary data you could see that in our case `Guid` is equal to: +``` +35 17 0B 0F A0 87 93 41 B2 66 53 8C 38 AF 48 CE +``` +This value defines a format of all the rest of the opcode data that follows next until the opcode end (which is determined by `Header.Length`). In this case it is `00 11 11` or `00 22 22`. + + +The GUID in the IFR is defined in the `./MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dec`: +``` +gEfiIfrTianoGuid = { 0xf0b1735, 0x87a0, 0x4193, {0xb2, 0x66, 0x53, 0x8c, 0x38, 0xaf, 0x48, 0xce }} +``` +Or in the `./MdeModulePkg/Include/Guid/MdeModuleHii.h`: +``` +#define EFI_IFR_TIANO_GUID \ + { 0xf0b1735, 0x87a0, 0x4193, {0xb2, 0x66, 0x53, 0x8c, 0x38, 0xaf, 0x48, 0xce} } +``` + +EDKII has several special IFR opcodes. All of them are defined under the same `EFI_IFR_TIANO_GUID`. To differ them between each other the first byte after the GUID defines an opcode: +``` +/// +/// EDKII implementation extension opcodes, new extension can be added here later. +/// +#define EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_LABEL 0x0 +#define EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_BANNER 0x1 +#define EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_TIMEOUT 0x2 +#define EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_CLASS 0x3 +#define EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_SUBCLASS 0x4 +``` + +In our case the next byte is `0x00` which corresponds to the `EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_LABEL`. + +In this case the full opcode is defined with this structure: +``` +/// +/// Label opcode. +/// +typedef struct _EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL { + EFI_IFR_OP_HEADER Header; + /// + /// EFI_IFR_TIANO_GUID. + /// + EFI_GUID Guid; // EFI_IFR_TIANO_GUID + /// + /// EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_LABEL. + /// + UINT8 ExtendOpCode; // EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_LABEL = 0x0 + /// + /// Label Number. + /// + UINT16 Number; +} EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL; +``` + +# C code + +To insert content from the C code into section defined by labels we need to utilize `HiiUpdateForm` function from the `HiiLib` + + +https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdeModulePkg/Include/Library/HiiLib.h +``` +/** + This function updates a form that has previously been registered with the HII + Database. This function will perform at most one update operation. + The form to update is specified by Handle, FormSetGuid, and FormId. Binary + comparisons of IFR opcodes are performed from the beginning of the form being + updated until an IFR opcode is found that exactly matches the first IFR opcode + specified by StartOpCodeHandle. The following rules are used to determine if + an insert, replace, or delete operation is performed: + 1) If no matches are found, then NULL is returned. + 2) If a match is found, and EndOpCodeHandle is NULL, then all of the IFR opcodes + from StartOpCodeHandle except the first opcode are inserted immediately after + the matching IFR opcode in the form to be updated. + 3) If a match is found, and EndOpCodeHandle is not NULL, then a search is made + from the matching IFR opcode until an IFR opcode exactly matches the first + IFR opcode specified by EndOpCodeHandle. If no match is found for the first + IFR opcode specified by EndOpCodeHandle, then NULL is returned. If a match + is found, then all of the IFR opcodes between the start match and the end + match are deleted from the form being updated and all of the IFR opcodes + from StartOpCodeHandle except the first opcode are inserted immediately after + the matching start IFR opcode. If StartOpCcodeHandle only contains one + IFR instruction, then the result of this operation will delete all of the IFR + opcodes between the start end matches. + If HiiHandle is NULL, then ASSERT(). + If StartOpCodeHandle is NULL, then ASSERT(). + @param[in] HiiHandle The HII Handle of the form to update. + @param[in] FormSetGuid The Formset GUID of the form to update.

OpCode Handles must be freed with + HiiFreeOpCodeHandle(). + @retval NULL There are not enough resources to allocate a new OpCode Handle. + @retval Other A new OpCode handle. +**/ +VOID * +EFIAPI +HiiAllocateOpCodeHandle ( + VOID + ); +``` + +The important thing to note here, is that this function doesn't accept any size. Because in this operation the buffer is always fixed. `HiiAllocateOpCodeHandle` returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure `HII_LIB_OPCODE_BUFFER` that is defined as follow: +``` +#define HII_LIB_OPCODE_ALLOCATION_SIZE 0x200 // (=512) + +typedef struct { + UINT8 *Buffer; // Pointer to newly allocated buffer of HII_LIB_OPCODE_ALLOCATION_SIZE bytes + UINTN BufferSize; + UINTN Position; +} HII_LIB_OPCODE_BUFFER; +``` + +All our dynamically allocated opcodes should fit into the preallocated buffer. + +Off course we need to free all the buffers allocated with `HiiAllocateOpCodeHandle`: + +``` +/** + Frees an OpCode Handle that was previously allocated with HiiAllocateOpCodeHandle(). + When an OpCode Handle is freed, all of the opcodes associated with the OpCode + Handle are also freed. + If OpCodeHandle is NULL, then ASSERT(). + @param[in] OpCodeHandle The handle to the buffer of opcodes. +**/ +VOID +EFIAPI +HiiFreeOpCodeHandle ( + VOID *OpCodeHandle + ); +``` + +So in our driver we should add this code: +``` +VOID* StartOpCodeHandle = HiiAllocateOpCodeHandle(); +VOID* EndOpCodeHandle = HiiAllocateOpCodeHandle(); + +<...> // fill OpCode Handles + + +EFI_GUID formsetGuid = FORMSET_GUID; +EFI_STATUS Status = HiiUpdateForm( + mHiiHandle, + &formsetGuid, + 0x1, + StartOpCodeHandle, + EndOpCodeHandle + ); +if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) { + Print(L"Error! HiiUpdateForm returned = %r\n", Status); +} + +HiiFreeOpCodeHandle(StartOpCodeHandle); +HiiFreeOpCodeHandle(EndOpCodeHandle); +return Status; +``` + +Now we need to create correct data under `StartOpCodeHandle` and `EndOpCodeHandle`. First we need to add `label` IFR to them. For this task we can utilize `HiiCreateGuidOpCode` function: +``` +/** + Create EFI_IFR_GUID opcode. + If OpCodeHandle is NULL, then ASSERT(). + If Guid is NULL, then ASSERT(). + If OpCodeSize < sizeof (EFI_IFR_GUID), then ASSERT(). + @param[in] OpCodeHandle Handle to the buffer of opcodes. + @param[in] Guid Pointer to EFI_GUID of this guided opcode. + @param[in] GuidOpCode Pointer to an EFI_IFR_GUID opcode. This is an + optional parameter that may be NULL. If this + parameter is NULL, then the GUID extension + region of the created opcode is filled with zeros. + If this parameter is not NULL, then the GUID + extension region of GuidData will be copied to + the GUID extension region of the created opcode. + @param[in] OpCodeSize The size, in bytes, of created opcode. This value + must be >= sizeof(EFI_IFR_GUID). + @retval NULL There is not enough space left in Buffer to add the opcode. + @retval Other A pointer to the created opcode. +**/ +UINT8 * +EFIAPI +HiiCreateGuidOpCode ( + IN VOID *OpCodeHandle, + IN CONST EFI_GUID *Guid, + IN CONST VOID *GuidOpCode OPTIONAL, + IN UINTN OpCodeSize + ) +``` + +This function returns a pointer to the opcode buffer. In our case it is a buffer for the `EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL` opcode. So we need to cast the buffer to the `EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL` structure and fill it with correct data. If `HiiCreateGuidOpCode` returns `NULL` we need to report an error and free all the previously allocated resources: +``` +EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL* StartLabel = (EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL*) HiiCreateGuidOpCode(StartOpCodeHandle, + &gEfiIfrTianoGuid, + NULL, + sizeof(EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL) + ); +if (StartLabel == NULL) { + Print(L"Error! Can't create StartLabel opcode, not enough space\n"); + HiiRemovePackages(mHiiHandle); + return EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL; +} +StartLabel->ExtendOpCode = EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_LABEL; +StartLabel->Number = LABEL_START; + + +EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL* EndLabel = (EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL*) HiiCreateGuidOpCode(EndOpCodeHandle, + &gEfiIfrTianoGuid, + NULL, + sizeof(EFI_IFR_GUID_LABEL) + ); +if (EndLabel == NULL) { + Print(L"Error! Can't create Text opcode, not enough space\n"); + HiiFreeOpCodeHandle(StartOpCodeHandle); + HiiRemovePackages(mHiiHandle); + return EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL; +} +EndLabel->ExtendOpCode = EFI_IFR_EXTEND_OP_LABEL; +EndLabel->Number = LABEL_END; +``` + +We doing all of this to embed new code to the IFR. So besides the markers (=labels) we need to add new IFR codes to the buffer refernced by the `StartOpCodeHandle`. Let's add a VFR `text` element with a help of a `HiiCreateTextOpCode` function: +``` +/** + Create EFI_IFR_TEXT_OP opcode. + If OpCodeHandle is NULL, then ASSERT(). + @param[in] OpCodeHandle Handle to the buffer of opcodes. + @param[in] Prompt String ID for Prompt. + @param[in] Help String ID for Help. + @param[in] TextTwo String ID for TextTwo. + @retval NULL There is not enough space left in Buffer to add the opcode. + @retval Other A pointer to the created opcode. +**/ +UINT8 * +EFIAPI +HiiCreateTextOpCode ( + IN VOID *OpCodeHandle, + IN EFI_STRING_ID Prompt, + IN EFI_STRING_ID Help, + IN EFI_STRING_ID TextTwo + ); +``` + +As you can see this function needs `EFI_STRING_ID` for the new `text` element. As we are generating our new element dynamically, let's also add new strings dynamically to the HII database: + +For this task we can utilize `HiiSetString` function from the `https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiHiiLib/HiiString.c`: +``` +/** + This function create a new string in String Package or updates an existing + string in a String Package.
