A reserved Microsoft GUID variant does not look right.
This seems like an existing bug. RFC4122 defines the MS reserved GUIDs
in the variant as
1 1 0 Reserved, Microsoft Corporation backward
compatibility and the existing UUID_VARIANT_MASK is defined as 0xc0...
I think the variant mask 0xc0 is correct:
- The variant field is in the top three bits of the "clock seq high and
reserved" byte, but...
- The variant we want is 1 0 x (do not care for bit 5, a.k.a. "Msb2").
With the mask 0xc0 we can clear the top two bits as we set the top most bit just
after anyway.
...the mask needs to be used correctly, though; see below.
Ah yes, the current code is using it in clrsetbits_8, which inverts it
internally, so it's indeed correct.
The patch below should work for you (on top of Calebs')

Not caring for the endianness at all does not look right.
Indeed, while this does work on my side in little-endian, this does not work on
on big-endian simulators.
Yes, we need the conversions
Also, this is a 16b quantity, not 32b; we need to redefine tmp to uint16_t and
use the be16 functions.
Yep I already pointed that out earlier.
tmp = (tmp & ~UUID_VERSION_MASK) | (5 << UUID_VERSION_SHIFT);
- uuid->time_hi_and_version = cpu_to_be32(tmp);
+ uuid->time_hi_and_version = tmp;
uuid->clock_seq_hi_and_reserved &= UUID_VARIANT_MASK;
We need to mask with ~UUID_VARIANT_MASK, I think.
uuid->clock_seq_hi_and_reserved |= UUID_VARIANT << UUID_VARIANT_SHIFT;
Can you give it a shot?
This does indeed work on my little-endian machines, but not on big-endian
simulators.
For testing on big-endian, I suggest using only genguid as the sandbox will not
help there:
$ make sandbox_defconfig
$ make tools-only
$ ./tools/genguid 2a5aa852-b856-4d97-baa9-5c5f4421551f \
-c "qcom,qrb4210-rb2" \
QUALCOMM-UBOOT
...and feed the resulting UUID to `uuid -d'.
(The genguid command is the online help example.)
What I am afraid of is breaking existing use cases using a different
variant mask....
If that's the case we might need to keep the buggy existing
UUID_VARIANT_MASK and use the new one only on v5 and newer code
I tried to debug further and I suspect that:
- Operations on 8b clock_seq_hi_and_reserved might need further casts.
- My understanding is that we are generating the v5 UUID as big-endian in
memory; if this is indeed the case, genguid should not print it with the GUID
byte order.
RFC4122 says that
"put name space ID in network byte order so it hashes the same no
matter what endian machine we're on "
the EFI spec says
"It should also be noted that TimeLow, TimeMid, TimeHighAndVersion
fields in the EFI are encoded as little endian. The following table
defines the format of an EFI GUID (128 bits)."
Which is lovely....
But this brings up something that Heinrich also mentioned. Since the
efi spec and RFC4122 interpret the endianess differently, how do you
expect uuid -d to work?
The binary format does depend on endianness:
$ echo -n -e
"\\xF8\\x1D\\x4F\\xAE\\x7D\\xEC\\x51\\xD0\\xA7\\x65\\x00\\xA0\\xC9\\x1E\\x6B\\xF6"

Thanks
/Ilias
I'll send a patch with the changes

/Ilias
For the moment I am unable to make the code work in all the following cases:
- genguid on little-endian
- genguid on big-endian
- sandbox ESRT on little-endian
I will let you and Caleb know if I make any progress.
Best regards,
Vincent.
Thanks
