Implement update_bcd() as replacement of ogWindowsBootParameters.
The legacy function modified the BCD of a freshly restored system
invoking the privative binary "spartlnx".
The script edits a set of BCD entries needed for a proper system
boot.
Each main BCD entry is identified by an UUID and contain a set of
subnodes, these hold the configuration and entry information.
Each node contains data in the form of key-value.
Common BCD structure:
'Objects'
...
The Boot Manager entry is always identified by the UUID
9dea862c-5cdd-4e70-acc1-f32b344d4795.
Some entries always have the same UUID as identifier such the
Boot Manager while other have different UUID depending on the system.
To identify these entries with a not known UUID we query the value
'Type' of the node 'Description'. This contains a 32 bit value whose
bytes codify the nature of the entry.
We obtain 3 different values as a tuple, each value is the result of
applying a bitmask to the Type value. These masks are 0xf0000000,
0x00f00000 and 0x000fffff. The resulting tuple of 3 values is then
used to obtain the corresponding entry from a map.
The data we modify from the BCD are disk and partition references
to point to the new disk and partition in the system where the
images are restored. Partition and disk information is stored as
UUID in specific offsets inside binary data in the BCD.
To update these we need to obtain the disk and partition UUIDs,
then convert it to bytes as follows:
original UUID: C4C61C51-3456-4733-96AD-AE760A41C392
UUID as bytes: 51 1C C6 C4 56 34 33 47 96 AD AE 76 0A 41 C3 92
The modified entries are: Resume from Hibernation, Windows Boot
Loader OS, Windows Boot Loader Recovery, Windows Recovery,
Boot Loader Settings, Windows Boot Manager and Windows Memory
Diagnostic.
Some of these options could be omited as the system restoration
does not include a recovery partition so in this case all the
recovery related entries just point to the main system partition.
Most entries are edited modifying the value corresponding to the
key 'Element' in 2 subnodes of the 'Elements' node.
These subnodes are '11000001' and '21000001'.
'Objects'
The 2 values stored in these 2 entries is binary data where we
store the partition and disk bytes. We simply replace the byte
representation of out UUIDS in the binary data. Partition is
stored in offset 32 and the disk in offset 56.
The exception is the Bootloader Recovery entry, in which the
partition offset is 84 and the disk offset 108.
Note that the legacy function only does a proper BCD edit in UEFI
systems. The new implementation follows the same behavior with
the possibility of implementing BCD modification under MBR
partitions in the future.
Set the field 16000009 (RECOVERY_ENABLED) to the value x00 to
disable recovery in both Resume from Hibernation and Windows
Boot Loader OS entries in the BCD.
The system install does not include any recovery partition so
it makes no sense to have it enabled.
This commit is preparatory work for the new native postinstall code.
