=== OVMF OVERVIEW ===
The Open Virtual Machine Firmware (OVMF) project aims
to support firmware for Virtual Machines using the edk2
code base. More information can be found at:
http://www.tianocore.org/ovmf/
=== STATUS ===
Current capabilities:
* IA32 and X64 architectures
* QEMU (version 1.7.1 or later, with 1.7 or later machine types)
- Video, keyboard, IDE, CD-ROM, serial
- Runs UEFI shell
- Optional NIC support.
* UEFI Linux boots
* UEFI Windows 8 boots
OvmfPkg: QemuVideoDxe: Int10h stub for Windows 7 & 2008 (stdvga, QXL) The Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (and Windows 7) UEFI guest's default video driver dereferences the real mode Int10h vector, loads the pointed-to handler code, and executes what it thinks to be VGA BIOS services in an internal real-mode emulator. Consequently, video mode switching doesn't work in Windows 2008 R2 SP1 when it runs on the pure UEFI build of OVMF, making the guest uninstallable. This patch adds a VGABIOS "shim" to QemuVideoDxe. For the first stdvga or QXL card bound, an extremely stripped down VGABIOS imitation is installed in the C segment. It provides a real implementation for the few services that are in fact necessary for the win2k8r2sp1 UEFI guest, plus some fakes that the guest invokes but whose effect is not important. The C segment is not present in the UEFI memory map prepared by OVMF. We never add memory space that would cover it (either in PEI, in the form of memory resource descriptor HOBs, or in DXE, via gDS->AddMemorySpace()). This way the handler body is invisible to all non-buggy UEFI guests, and the rest of edk2. The Int10h real-mode IVT entry is covered with a Boot Services Code page, making that too unaccessible to the rest of edk2. (Thus UEFI guest OSes different from the Windows 2008 family can reclaim the page. The Windows 2008 family accesses the page at zero regardless of the allocation type.) The patch is the result of collaboration: Initial proof of concept IVT entry installation and handler skeleton (in NASM) by Jordan Justen. Service tracing and implementation, data collection/analysis, and C coding by yours truly. Last minute changes by Gerd Hoffmann: - Use OEM mode number (0xf1) instead of standard 800x600 mode (0x143). The resolution of the OEM mode (0xf1) is not standardized; the guest can't expect anything from it in advance. - Use 1024x768 rather than 800x600 for more convenience in the Windows 2008 R2 SP1 guest during OS installation, and after normal boot until the QXL XDDM guest driver is installed.

=== FUTURE PLANS ===
* Test/Stabilize UEFI Self-Certification Tests (SCT) results
=== BUILDING OVMF ===
Pre-requisites:
* Build environment capable of build the edk2 MdeModulePkg.
* A properly configured ASL compiler:
- Intel ASL compiler: Available from http://www.acpica.org
- Microsoft ASL compiler: Available from http://www.acpi.info
* NASM: http://www.nasm.us/
Update Conf/target.txt ACTIVE_PLATFORM for OVMF:
PEI arch DXE arch UEFI interfaces
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc IA32 IA32 IA32
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc IA32 X64 X64
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc X64 X64 X64
Update Conf/target.txt TARGET_ARCH based on the .dsc file:
TARGET_ARCH
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc IA32
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc IA32 X64
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc X64
Following the edk2 build process, you will find the OVMF binaries
under the $WORKSPACE/Build/*/*/FV directory. The actual path will
depend on how your build is configured. You can expect to find
these binary outputs:
* OVMF.FD
- Please note! This filename has changed. Older releases used OVMF.Fv.
* OvmfVideo.rom
- This file is not built separately any longer, starting with svn r13520.
More information on building OVMF can be found at:
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/How%20to%20build%20OVMF
=== RUNNING OVMF on QEMU ===
* Be sure to use qemu-system-x86_64, if you are using an X64 firmware.
(qemu-system-x86_64 works for the IA32 firmware as well, of course.)
* Use OVMF for QEMU firmware (3 options available)
- Option 1: Use QEMU -pflash parameter
* QEMU/OVMF will use emulated flash, and fully support UEFI variables
* Run qemu with: -pflash path/to/OVMF.fd
OvmfPkg: disable stale fork of SecureBootConfigDxe OvmfPkg forked SecureBootConfigDxe from SecurityPkg in SVN r13635 (git commit 8c71ec8f). Since then, the original (in "SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe") has diverged significantly. The initial diff between the original and the fork, when the fork was made (ie. at SVN r13635), reads as follows: > diff -ur SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfig.vfr OvmfPkg/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfig.vfr > --- SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfig.vfr 2014-09-30 23:35:28.598067147 +0200 > +++ OvmfPkg/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfig.vfr 2014-08-09 02:40:35.824851626 +0200 > @@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ > questionid = KEY_SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE, > prompt = STRING_TOKEN(STR_SECURE_BOOT_PROMPT), > help = STRING_TOKEN(STR_SECURE_BOOT_HELP), > - flags = INTERACTIVE | RESET_REQUIRED, > + flags = INTERACTIVE, > endcheckbox; > endif; > > @@ -158,7 +158,7 @@ > questionid = KEY_SECURE_BOOT_DELETE_PK, > prompt = STRING_TOKEN(STR_DELETE_PK), > help = STRING_TOKEN(STR_DELETE_PK_HELP), > - flags = INTERACTIVE | RESET_REQUIRED, > + flags = INTERACTIVE, > endcheckbox; > endif; > endform; > diff -ur SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfigDxe.inf OvmfPkg/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfigDxe.inf > --- SecurityPkg/VariableAuthenticated/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfigDxe.inf 2014-09-30 23:35:28.598067147 +0200 > +++ OvmfPkg/SecureBootConfigDxe/SecureBootConfigDxe.inf 2014-09-30 23:35:28.577067027 +0200 > @@ -1,5 +1,8 @@ > ## @file > -# Component name for SecureBoot configuration module. > +# Component name for SecureBoot configuration module for OVMF. > +# > +# Need custom SecureBootConfigDxe for OVMF that does not force > +# resets after PK changes since OVMF doesn't have persistent variables > # > # Copyright (c) 2011 - 2012, Intel Corporation.

* Note that this option is required for running SecureBoot-enabled builds
(-D SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE).
- Option 2: Use QEMU -bios parameter
* Note that UEFI variables will be partially emulated, and non-volatile
variables may lose their contents after a reboot
* Run qemu with: -bios path/to/OVMF.fd
- Option 3: Use QEMU -L parameter
* Note that UEFI variables will be partially emulated, and non-volatile
variables may lose their contents after a reboot
* Either copy, rename or symlink OVMF.fd => bios.bin
* Use the QEMU -L parameter to specify the directory where the bios.bin
file is located.
* The EFI shell is built into OVMF builds at this time, so it should
run automatically if a UEFI boot application is not found on the
removable media.
* On Linux, newer version of QEMU may enable KVM feature, and this might
cause OVMF to fail to boot. The QEMU '-no-kvm' may allow OVMF to boot.
* Capturing OVMF debug messages on qemu:
- The default OVMF build writes debug messages to IO port 0x402. The
following qemu command line options save them in the file called
debug.log: '-debugcon file:debug.log -global isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402'.
- It is possible to revert to the original behavior, when debug messages were
written to the emulated serial port (potentially intermixing OVMF debug
output with UEFI serial console output). For this the
'-D DEBUG_ON_SERIAL_PORT' option has to be passed to the build command (see
the next section), and in order to capture the serial output qemu needs to
be started with eg. '-serial file:serial.log'.
- Debug messages fall into several categories. Logged vs. suppressed
categories are controlled at OVMF build time by the
'gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdDebugPrintErrorLevel' bitmask (an UINT32
value) in the selected .dsc file. Individual bits of this bitmask are
defined in <MdePkg/Include/Library/DebugLib.h>. One non-default bit (with
some performance impact) that is frequently set for debugging is 0x00400000
(DEBUG_VERBOSE).
- The RELEASE build target ('-b RELEASE' build option, see below) disables
all debug messages. The default build target is DEBUG.
=== Build Scripts ===
On systems with the bash shell you can use OvmfPkg/build.sh to simplify
building and running OVMF.
So, for example, to build + run OVMF X64:
$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a X64
$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a X64 qemu
And to run a 64-bit UEFI bootable ISO image:
$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a X64 qemu -cdrom /path/to/disk-image.iso
To build a 32-bit OVMF without debug messages using GCC 4.8:
$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a IA32 -b RELEASE -t GCC48
=== SMM support ===
Requirements:
* SMM support requires QEMU 2.5.
* The minimum required QEMU machine type is "pc-q35-2.5".
* SMM with KVM requires Linux 4.4 (host).
OVMF is capable of utilizing SMM if the underlying QEMU or KVM hypervisor
emulates SMM. SMM is put to use in the S3 suspend and resume infrastructure,
and in the UEFI variable driver stack. The purpose is (virtual) hardware
separation between the runtime guest OS and the firmware (OVMF), with the
intent to make Secure Boot actually secure, by preventing the runtime guest OS
from tampering with the variable store and S3 areas.
For SMM support, OVMF must be built with the "-D SMM_REQUIRE" option. The
resultant firmware binary will check if QEMU actually provides SMM emulation;
if it doesn't, then OVMF will log an error and trigger an assertion failure
during boot (even in RELEASE builds). Both the naming of the flag (SMM_REQUIRE,
instead of SMM_ENABLE), and this behavior are consistent with the goal
described above: this is supposed to be a security feature, and fallbacks are
not allowed. Similarly, a pflash-backed variable store is a requirement.
QEMU should be started with the options listed below (in addition to any other
guest-specific flags). The command line should be gradually composed from the
hints below. '\' is used to extend the command line to multiple lines, and '^'
can be used on Windows.
* QEMU binary and options specific to 32-bit guests:
$ qemu-system-i386 -cpu coreduo,-nx \
or
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu <MODEL>,-lm,-nx \
* QEMU binary for running 64-bit guests (no particular options):
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
* Flags common to all SMM scenarios (only the Q35 machine type is supported):
-machine q35,smm=on,accel=(tcg|kvm) \
-m ... \
-smp ... \
-global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on \
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,file=OVMF_CODE.fd,readonly=on \
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,file=copy_of_OVMF_VARS.fd \
* In order to disable S3, add:
-global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1 \
=== Network Support ===
OVMF provides a UEFI network stack by default. Its lowest level driver is the
NIC driver, higher levels are generic. In order to make DHCP, PXE Boot, and eg.
socket test utilities from the StdLib edk2 package work, (1) qemu has to be
configured to emulate a NIC, (2) a matching UEFI NIC driver must be available
when OVMF boots.
(If a NIC is configured for the virtual machine, and -- dependent on boot order
-- PXE booting is attempted, but no DHCP server responds to OVMF's DHCP
DISCOVER message at startup, the boot process may take approx. 3 seconds
longer.)
* For each NIC emulated by qemu, a GPLv2 licensed UEFI driver is available from
the iPXE project. The qemu source distribution contains prebuilt binaries of
these drivers (and of course allows one to rebuild them from source as well).
This is the recommended set of drivers.
* Use the qemu -netdev and -device options, or the legacy -net option, to
enable NIC support: <http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking>.
* The iPXE drivers are automatically available to and configured for OVMF in
the default qemu installation.
* Independently of the iPXE NIC drivers, the default OVMF build provides a
basic virtio-net driver, located in OvmfPkg/VirtioNetDxe.
* Also independently of the iPXE NIC drivers, Intel's proprietary E1000 NIC
driver (from the BootUtil distribution) can be embedded in the OVMF image at
build time:
- Download BootUtil:
- Navigate to
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19186/Ethernet-Intel-Ethernet-Connections-Boot-Utility-Preboot-Images-and-EFI-Drivers
- Click the download link for "PREBOOT.EXE".
- Accept the Intel Software License Agreement that appears.
- Unzip "PREBOOT.EXE" into a separate directory (this works with the
"unzip" utility on platforms different from Windows as well).
- Copy the "APPS/EFI/EFIx64/E3522X2.EFI" driver binary to
"Intel3.5/EFIX64/E3522X2.EFI" in your WORKSPACE.
- Intel have stopped distributing an IA32 driver binary (which used to
match the filename pattern "E35??E2.EFI"), thus this method will only
work for the IA32X64 and X64 builds of OVMF.
- Include the driver in OVMF during the build:
- Add "-D E1000_ENABLE" to your build command (only when building
"OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc" or "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc").
- For example: "build -D E1000_ENABLE".
* When a matching iPXE driver is configured for a NIC as described above, it
takes priority over other drivers that could possibly drive the card too:
| e1000 ne2k_pci pcnet rtl8139 virtio-net-pci
---------------------+------------------------------------------------
iPXE | x x x x x
VirtioNetDxe | x
Intel BootUtil (X64) | x
=== HTTPS Boot ===
HTTPS Boot is an alternative solution to PXE. It replaces the tftp server
with a HTTPS server so the firmware can download the images through a trusted
and encrypted connection.
* To enable HTTPS Boot, you have to build OVMF with -D NETWORK_HTTP_BOOT_ENABLE
and -D NETWORK_TLS_ENABLE. The former brings in the HTTP stack from
NetworkPkg while the latter enables TLS support in both NetworkPkg and
CryptoPkg.
If you want to exclude the unsecured HTTP connection completely, OVMF has to
be built with -D NETWORK_ALLOW_HTTP_CONNECTIONS=FALSE so that only the HTTPS
connections will be accepted.
* By default, there is no trusted certificate. The user has to import the
certificates either manually with "Tls Auth Configuration" utility in the
firmware UI or through the fw_cfg entry, etc/edk2/https/cacerts.
-fw_cfg name=etc/edk2/https/cacerts,file=<certdb>
The blob for etc/edk2/https/cacerts has to be in the format of Signature
Database(*1). You can use p11-kit(*2) or efisiglit(*3) to create the
certificate list.
If you want to create the certificate list based on the CA certificates
in your local host, p11-kit will be a good choice. Here is the command to
create the list:
p11-kit extract --format=edk2-cacerts --filter=ca-anchors \
--overwrite --purpose=server-auth <certdb>
If you only want to import one certificate, efisiglist is the tool for you:
efisiglist -a <cert file> -o <certdb>
Please note that the certificate has to be in the DER format.
You can also append a certificate to the existing list with the following
command:
efisiglist -i <old certdb> -a <cert file> -o <new certdb>
NOTE: You may need the patch to make efisiglist generate the correct header.
(https://github.com/rhboot/pesign/pull/40)
* Besides the trusted certificates, it's also possible to configure the trusted
cipher suites for HTTPS through another fw_cfg entry: etc/edk2/https/ciphers.
OVMF expects a binary UINT16 array which comprises the cipher suites HEX
IDs(*4). If the cipher suite list is given, OVMF will choose the cipher
suite from the intersection of the given list and the built-in cipher
suites. Otherwise, OVMF just chooses whatever proper cipher suites from the
built-in ones.
- Using QEMU 5.2 or later, QEMU can expose the ordered list of permitted TLS
cipher suites from the host side to OVMF:
-object tls-cipher-suites,id=mysuite0,priority=@SYSTEM \
-fw_cfg name=etc/edk2/https/ciphers,gen_id=mysuite0
(Refer to the QEMU manual and to
<https://gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html> for more
information on the "priority" property.)
- Using QEMU 5.1 or earlier, the array has to be passed from a file:
-fw_cfg name=etc/edk2/https/ciphers,file=<cipher suites>
whose contents can be generated with the following script, for example:
export LC_ALL=C
openssl ciphers -V \
| sed -r -n \
-e 's/^ *0x([0-9A-F]{2}),0x([0-9A-F]{2}) - .*$/\\\\x\1 \\\\x\2/p' \
| xargs -r -- printf -- '%b' > ciphers.bin
This script creates ciphers.bin that contains all the cipher suite IDs
supported by openssl according to the local host configuration.
You may want to enable only a limited set of cipher suites. Then, you
should check the validity of your list first:
openssl ciphers -V <cipher list>
If all the cipher suites in your list map to the proper HEX IDs, go ahead
to modify the script and execute it:
export LC_ALL=C
openssl ciphers -V <cipher list> \
| sed -r -n \
-e 's/^ *0x([0-9A-F]{2}),0x([0-9A-F]{2}) - .*$/\\\\x\1 \\\\x\2/p' \
| xargs -r -- printf -- '%b' > ciphers.bin

=== OVMF Flash Layout ===
Like all current IA32/X64 system designs, OVMF's firmware device (rom/flash)
appears in QEMU's physical address space just below 4GB (0x100000000).
OVMF supports building a 1MB, 2MB or 4MB flash image (see the DSC files for the
FD_SIZE_1MB, FD_SIZE_2MB, FD_SIZE_4MB build defines). The base address for the
1MB image in QEMU physical memory is 0xfff00000. The base address for the 2MB
image is 0xffe00000. The base address for the 4MB image is 0xffc00000.
Using the 1MB or 2MB image, the layout of the firmware device in memory looks
like:
+--------------------------------------- 4GB (0x100000000)
| VTF0 (16-bit reset code) and OVMF SEC
| (SECFV, 208KB/0x34000)

Using the 4MB image, the layout of the firmware device in memory looks like:
+--------------------------------------- base + 0x400000 (4GB/0x100000000)
| VTF0 (16-bit reset code) and OVMF SEC
| (SECFV, 208KB/0x34000)

+--------------------------------------- base address (0xffc00000)
The code in SECFV locates FVMAIN_COMPACT, and decompresses the
main firmware (MAINFV) into RAM memory at address 0x800000. The
remaining OVMF firmware then uses this decompressed firmware
volume image.
OvmfPkg: QemuVideoDxe: Int10h stub for Windows 7 & 2008 (stdvga, QXL) The Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (and Windows 7) UEFI guest's default video driver dereferences the real mode Int10h vector, loads the pointed-to handler code, and executes what it thinks to be VGA BIOS services in an internal real-mode emulator.

=== UEFI Windows 7 & Windows 2008 Server ===
* One of the '-vga std' and '-vga qxl' QEMU options should be used.
* Only one video mode, 1024x768x32, is supported at OS runtime.
* The '-vga qxl' QEMU option is recommended. After booting the installed
guest OS, select the video card in Device Manager, and upgrade its driver
to the QXL XDDM one. Download location:

This enables further resolutions at OS runtime, and provides S3
