24 This function allows the caller to determine if UEFI ExitBootServices() has been called.
26 This function returns TRUE after all the EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES functions have
27 executed as a result of the OS calling ExitBootServices(). Prior to this time FALSE
28 is returned. This function is used by runtime code to decide it is legal to access
29 services that go away after ExitBootServices().
31 @retval TRUE The system has finished executing the EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES event.
32 @retval FALSE The system has not finished executing the EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES event.
42 This function allows the caller to determine if UEFI SetVirtualAddressMap() has been called.
44 This function returns TRUE after all the EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE functions have
45 executed as a result of the OS calling SetVirtualAddressMap(). Prior to this time FALSE
46 is returned. This function is used by runtime code to decide it is legal to access services
47 that go away after SetVirtualAddressMap().
49 @retval TRUE The system has finished executing the EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE event.
50 @retval FALSE The system has not finished executing the EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE event.
60 This service is a wrapper for the UEFI Runtime Service GetTime().
62 The GetTime() function returns a time that was valid sometime during the call to the function.
63 While the returned EFI_TIME structure contains TimeZone and Daylight savings time information,
64 the actual clock does not maintain these values. The current time zone and daylight saving time
65 information returned by GetTime() are the values that were last set via SetTime().
66 The GetTime() function should take approximately the same amount of time to read the time each
67 time it is called. All reported device capabilities are to be rounded up.
68 During runtime, if a PC-AT CMOS device is present in the platform the caller must synchronize
69 access to the device before calling GetTime().
71 @param Time A pointer to storage to receive a snapshot of the current time.
72 @param Capabilities An optional pointer to a buffer to receive the real time clock device's

88 This service is a wrapper for the UEFI Runtime Service SetTime().
90 The SetTime() function sets the real time clock device to the supplied time, and records the
91 current time zone and daylight savings time information. The SetTime() function is not allowed
92 to loop based on the current time. For example, if the device does not support a hardware reset
93 for the sub-resolution time, the code is not to implement the feature by waiting for the time to
95 During runtime, if a PC-AT CMOS device is present in the platform the caller must synchronize
96 access to the device before calling SetTime().
98 @param Time A pointer to the current time. Type EFI_TIME is defined in the GetTime()
99 function description. Full error checking is performed on the different
100 fields of the EFI_TIME structure (refer to the EFI_TIME definition in the
101 GetTime() function description for full details), and EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER
102 is returned if any field is out of range.

105 @retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER A time field is out of range.
106 @retval EFI_DEVICE_ERROR The time could not be set due to a hardware error.
116 Returns the current wakeup alarm clock setting.
118 The alarm clock time may be rounded from the set alarm clock time to be within the resolution
119 of the alarm clock device. The resolution of the alarm clock device is defined to be one second.
120 During runtime, if a PC-AT CMOS device is present in the platform the caller must synchronize
121 access to the device before calling GetWakeupTime().
123 @param Enabled Indicates if the alarm is currently enabled or disabled.
124 @param Pending Indicates if the alarm signal is pending and requires acknowledgement.

293 the data buffer starts with a Null-terminated Unicode string, optionally
294 followed by additional binary data. The string is a description that the
295 caller may use to further indicate the reason for the system reset. ResetData
296 is only valid if ResetStatus is something other then EFI_SUCCESS. This
297 pointer must be a physical address. For a ResetType of EfiRestUpdate the
298 data buffer also starts with a Null-terminated string that is followed by
299 a physical VOID * to an EFI_CAPSULE_HEADER.

312 This service converts a function pointer from physical to virtual addressing.
314 @param DebugDisposition Supplies type information for the pointer being converted.

316 value needed for the new virtual address mapping being
319 @retval EFI_SUCCESS The pointer pointed to by Address was modified.
320 @retval EFI_NOT_FOUND The pointer pointed to by Address was not found to be part of

**Address
334 Determines the new virtual address that is to be used on subsequent memory accesses.
336 For IA32, X64, and EBC, this service is a wrapper for the UEFI Runtime Service
337 ConvertPointer(). See the UEFI Specification for details.
338 For IPF, this function interprets Address as a pointer to an EFI_PLABEL structure
339 and both the EntryPoint and GP fields of an EFI_PLABEL are converted from physical
340 to virtiual addressing. Since IPF allows the GP to point to an address outside
341 a PE/COFF image, the physical to virtual offset for the EntryPoint field is used
342 to adjust the GP field. The UEFI Runtime Service ConvertPointer() is used to convert
343 EntryPoint and the status code for this conversion is always returned. If the convertion
344 of EntryPoint fails, then neither EntryPoint nor GP are modified. See the UEFI
345 Specification for details on the UEFI Runtime Service ConvertPointer().
347 @param DebugDisposition Supplies type information for the pointer being converted.
348 @param Address The pointer to a pointer that is to be fixed to be the
349 value needed for the new virtual address mapping being

394 Convert the standard Lib double linked list to a virtual mapping.
396 This service uses EfiConvertPointer() to walk a double linked list and convert all the link
397 pointers to their virtual mappings. This function is only guaranteed to work during the
398 EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE event and calling it at other times has undefined results.

415 Passes capsules to the firmware with both virtual and physical mapping.
416 Depending on the intended consumption, the firmware may
417 process the capsule immediately. If the payload should persist across a
418 system reset, the reset value returned from EFI_QueryCapsuleCapabilities must
419 be passed into ResetSystem() and will cause the capsule to be processed by
420 the firmware as part of the reset process.
422 @param CapsuleHeaderArray Virtual pointer to an array of virtual pointers to the capsules
423 being passed into update capsule. Each capsules is assumed to
424 stored in contiguous virtual memory. The capsules in the
425 CapsuleHeaderArray must be the same capsules as the
426 ScatterGatherList. The CapsuleHeaderArray must
427 have the capsules in the same order as the ScatterGatherList.
428 @param CapsuleCount Number of pointers to EFI_CAPSULE_HEADER in
430 @param ScatterGatherList Physical pointer to a set of
431 EFI_CAPSULE_BLOCK_DESCRIPTOR that describes the
432 location in physical memory of a set of capsules. See Related
433 Definitions for an explanation of how more than one capsule is
434 passed via this interface. The capsules in the
435 ScatterGatherList must be in the same order as the
436 CapsuleHeaderArray. This parameter is only referenced if
437 the capsules are defined to persist across system reset.
439 @retval EFI_SUCCESS Valid capsule was passed. If CAPSULE_FLAGS_PERSIT_ACROSS_RESET is not set,
440 the capsule has been successfully processed by the firmware.

458 The QueryCapsuleCapabilities() function allows a caller to test to see if a capsule or
459 capsules can be updated via UpdateCapsule(). The Flags values in the capsule header and
460 size of the entire capsule is checked.
461 If the caller needs to query for generic capsule capability a fake EFI_CAPSULE_HEADER can be
462 constructed where CapsuleImageSize is equal to HeaderSize that is equal to sizeof
463 (EFI_CAPSULE_HEADER). To determine reset requirements,
464 CAPSULE_FLAGS_PERSIST_ACROSS_RESET should be set in the Flags field of the
466 The firmware must support any capsule that has the
467 CAPSULE_FLAGS_PERSIST_ACROSS_RESET flag set in EFI_CAPSULE_HEADER. The
468 firmware sets the policy for what capsules are supported that do not have the
469 CAPSULE_FLAGS_PERSIST_ACROSS_RESET flag set.
471 @param CapsuleHeaderArray Virtual pointer to an array of virtual pointers to the capsules
472 being passed into update capsule. The capsules are assumed to
473 stored in contiguous virtual memory.

500 Returns information about the EFI variables.
502 The QueryVariableInfo() function allows a caller to obtain the information about the
503 maximum size of the storage space available for the EFI variables, the remaining size of the storage
504 space available for the EFI variables and the maximum size of each individual EFI variable,
505 associated with the attributes specified.
506 The returned MaximumVariableStorageSize, RemainingVariableStorageSize,
507 MaximumVariableSize information may change immediately after the call based on other
508 runtime activities including asynchronous error events. Also, these values associated with different
509 attributes are not additive in nature.
