From 0f09019241a0ea6eee0b9b596a70ec8a66b820ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SolidHal Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2018 11:04:43 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] block: partitions: efi: Add support for IGNOREME GPT signature This patch adds support for a special GPT header signature marker (using the string 'IGNOREME' instead of the spec's 'EFI PART'). This tells the kernel to ignore this GPT completely and look at the other one instead. Since the kernel always prefers the primary GPT anyway, all we really need to do effectively is to check whether the primary GPT is marked 'IGNOREME' and force evaluation of the secondary one in that case. Borrowed from the chrome os 3.14 kernel, the commit can be found here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/abba28d0a1b7361da6e2023352e92687166ca30d Also bundled in this commit https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/bd0c62c7de0c8a63314b7955e5718d8f6192f9d2%5E%21/#F0 Which is a small compiler warning fix for the above patch This patch fixes how the kernel detects and handles certain mmc manufatures devices, and allows the partitions on the mmc to be bootable and mountable.
