This commit also updates the edk2-platforms packages with the last
commit merged at the edk2 release date (2025-11-19), which corresponds
to commit [1].
The edk2-non-osi package is also updated the same way, which
corresponds to commit [2].
This commit also adds an edk2-platforms package patch to fix a Marvell
build failure seen with the SolidRun MacchiatoBin platform.
This commit has been runtime tested with tests using EDK2 package,
with commands:
support/testing/run-tests \
-d dl -o output_folder \

tests.boot.test_grub.TestGrubRiscV64EFI \

It has also been runtime tested (by booting in qemu) with defconfigs
using EDK2 package:
qemu_aarch64_sbsa_defconfig
qemu_loongarch64_virt_efi_defconfig
qemu_riscv64_virt_efi_defconfig

EDK2 build may include extra options. Those are usually in the form
of "-D SOMEFLAG_ENABLE" and might be specific for a processor
architecture or a platform. For example:
"-D NETWORK_HTTP_BOOT_ENABLE", "-D NETWORK_TLS_ENABLE", ...
Those options are generally documented in their respective packages.
See for example:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/OvmfPkg/README
This commit adds a new Kconfig string option to let the use define
arbitrary build flags.

Note: the edk2-stable202505 release note mention a security fix.
This fix was already backported in Buildroot in a previous commit.
For that reason, this bump is not marked as securiy, and also
removes the backported patch and its associated _IGNORE_CVES entry.
Those versions include fixes when using gcc 15 (host and target).
This commit also updates the edk2-platforms and edk2-non-osi packages
with the last commit merged at the edk2 release date (2025-05-23).
In the case of edk2-platforms, the commit id used in this update
is few days later, to include a fix for the Arm Sgi575 platform.
Exact commit should have been [1] (to be exactly aligned to the edk2
tag date), but commit [2] is used instead. The package edk2-non-osi is
updated to commit [3].
Also, the SocioNext SynQuacer platforms (including the DeveloperBox)
were removed upstream in edk2-platforms commit [4]. This commit
reflect that change by removing those platforms choices and associated
runtime tests.

RISC-V 64bit qemu virt machine support has been added in edk2
version "stable202302". See [1].
Since edk2-stable202308, introduced in buildroot in commit 5c9f310
"boot/edk2: bump to version edk2-stable202308", it is now possible
to boot the edk2 UEFI shell in qemu.
This commit adds this early RISC-V support to edk2.
The RISC-V edk2 UEFI shell can be booted in Buildroot with the
following commands:
# Build EDK2 images
cat > .config <<EOF
BR2_riscv=y
BR2_RISCV_64=y
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_QEMU=y
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_QEMU_SYSTEM_MODE=y
BR2_TARGET_EDK2=y
EOF
make olddefconfig
make
# edk2 image size should fit the 32MB of qemu pflash memories
truncate -s 32M output/images/RISCV_VIRT_CODE.fd
truncate -s 32M output/images/RISCV_VIRT_VARS.fd
# Start qemu:
output/host/usr/bin/qemu-system-riscv64 \
-M virt,pflash0=pflash0,pflash1=pflash1,acpi=off \
-nographic \
-blockdev node-name=pflash0,driver=file,read-only=on,filename=output/images/RISCV_VIRT_CODE.fd \
-blockdev node-name=pflash1,driver=file,filename=output/images/RISCV_VIRT_VARS.fd
Note: a Qemu version >= 8.0.0 is needed to properly start edk2. A qemu
version on the host system might not be sufficient. This is why the
Buildroot host-qemu is built in this config example.

When EDK2 OVMF is built with debug, messages are printed to
IO port 0x402. Those messages are not shown in the normal
Qemu emulated serial port. Enabling this option will print
debug messages on the emulated serial port, potentially
mixing messages with UEFI serial console output.
See OVMF README:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/OvmfPkg/README
This option has been useful to debug problems such as [1], in which the
emulator was hanging at startup without any log. Enabling this option
show the debug message on the console, before hanging:

The Marvell Armada Devicetree files have been moved out of edk2-platforms
by commit 4b53da6b12a8 ("Marvell/Armada7k8k: Remove device tree sources
from edk2-platforms") and they are now in edk2-non-osi.
Therefore update the MACCHIATObin recipe to depend on the new edk2-non-osi
package and rework a bit the packages path to support that.
Also, drop the backported patch as it is not necessary anymore.

EDK2 is a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development
environment for the UEFI and PI specifications.
The initial version of this bootloader package makes it possible to
build firmware for the following seven configurations:
* QEMU x86-64 pc machine
* QEMU aarch64 virt machine, booting directly from flash
* QEMU aarch64 virt machine, booting via the kernel protocol
* QEMU aarch64 sbsa-ref machine
* ARM FVP vexpress machine
* Socionext SynQuacer Developerbox
* SolidRun MacchiatoBin
Support the use of EDK2 UEFI payloads as BL33 in ARM Trusted Firmware.
