Currently we have the following call chain in OVMF:
PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior()
[OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBdsLib/BdsPlatform.c]
//
// signals End-of-Dxe
//
OnEndOfDxe() [OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe/AcpiS3Save.c]
S3Ready() [OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe/AcpiS3Save.c]
//
// 1. saves S3 state
//
SaveS3BootScript() [OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe/AcpiS3Save.c]
//
// 2. saves INFO opcode in S3 boot script
// 3. installs DxeSmmReadyToLockProtocol
//
The bottom of this call chain was introduced in git commit 5a217a06 (SVN
r15305, "OvmfPkg: S3 Suspend: save boot script after ACPI context"). That
patch was necessary because there was no other way, due to GenericBdsLib
calling S3Save() from BdsLibBootViaBootOption(), to perform the necessary
steps in the right order:
- save S3 system information,
- save a final (well, only) boot script opcode,
- signal DxeSmmReadyToLock, closing the boot script, and locking down
LockBox and SMM.
The GenericBdsLib bug has been fixed in the previous patch -- the call in
BdsLibBootViaBootOption() has been eliminated.
Therefore, hoist the SaveS3BootScript() code, and call, from
OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe, to PlatformBdsLib:
PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior()
[OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBdsLib/BdsPlatform.c]
//
// signals End-of-Dxe
//
OnEndOfDxe() [OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe/AcpiS3Save.c]
S3Ready() [OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe/AcpiS3Save.c]
//
// 1. saves S3 state
//
<---
SaveS3BootScript() [OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBdsLib/BdsPlatform.c]
//
// 2. saves INFO opcode in S3 boot script
// 3. installs DxeSmmReadyToLockProtocol
//
The installation of DxeSmmReadyToLockProtocol belongs with Platform BDS,
not AcpiS3SaveDxe, and we can now undo the hack in SVN r15305, without
upsetting the relative order of the steps.

(Paraphrasing git commit 9cd7d3c5 / SVN r17713:)
Currently, OvmfPkg fails to signal the End-of-Dxe event group when
entering the BDS phase, which results in some loss of functionality, eg.
variable reclaim in the variable driver, and the memory region splitting
in the DXE core that belongs to the properties table feature specified in
UEFI-2.5.
As discussed on the edk2-devel mailing list here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/16088/focus=16109
it is up to the platform BDS to signal End-of-Dxe, since there may be
platform specific ordering constraints with respect to the signalling of
the event that are difficult to honor at the generic level.
(OvmfPkg specifics:)
(1) In OvmfPkg, we can't signal End-of-Dxe before PCI enumeration
completes. According to the previous patch, that would trigger
OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe to save S3 state *before* the following chain of
action happened:
- PCI enumeration completes
- ACPI tables are installed by OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe
- the FACS table becomes available
Since OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe can only save S3 state once the FACS table
is available, we must delay the End-of-Dxe signal until after PCI
enumeration completes (ie. root bridges are connected).
(2) Pre-patch, S3Ready() in OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe is entered from
BdsLibBootViaBootOption()
[IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/GenericBdsLib/BdsBoot.c].
After the patch, we enter S3Ready() earlier than that, by signaling
End-of-Dxe in PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior(). The timing / location of
this new call is correct as well, and the original call (that now
becomes the chronologically second call) becomes a no-op: S3Ready() is
protected against 2nd and later entries.

The ASSERT() in SetPciIntLine() assumes that Device 0 on "the" root bus
corresponds to the PCI host bridge (00:00). This used to be true, but
because we're going to have extra root buses (with nonzero bus numbers),
soon this assumption may no longer hold. Check for the zero root bus

PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage() already implements a keypress wait (for
entering the setup utility at boot) with a nice progress bar, only OVMF
has not been using it.
Removing our custom code and utilizing PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage()'s
builtin wait has the following benefits:
- It simplifies OVMF's BDS code.
- Because now we call PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage() unconditionally, it
actually has a chance to look at the EFI_OS_INDICATIONS_BOOT_TO_FW_UI
bit of the "OsIndications" variable, improving compliance with the UEFI
specification. References:
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1153927
- http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/10487
- The progress bar looks nice. (And it keeps the earlier behavior intact,
when the user presses a key on the TianoCore splash screen.)
In any case, we set the timeout to 0 (which doesn't show the progress
bar and proceeds to the boot options immediately) in order to keep the
boot time down.

The second parameter of said function is "ConnectAllHappened", and if set
to TRUE, the function sets "gConnectAllHappened" to TRUE.
This global variable in turn controls whether Intel BDS code *itself*
calls BdsLibConnectAllDriversToAllControllers() in various places -- if
the indicator is TRUE, then the "connect all" is assumed to have been
performed, and Intel BDS doesn't do it itself.
OVMF should pass TRUE as "ConnectAllHappened", because a few lines before
our call to PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage(), we already connect everything
with BdsLibConnectAll(), which includes the effects of
BdsLibConnectAllDriversToAllControllers():
PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior() [OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBdsLib/BdsPlatform.c]
BdsLibConnectAll() [IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/GenericBdsLib/BdsConnect.c]

The PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage() function's first parameter,
"TimeoutDefault", determines the behavior of the setup utility:
- If (TimeoutDefault == 0), then the usual boot order is to be acted upon
immediately.
- If (TimeoutDefault == 0xFFFF), then the setup utility is entered
unconditionally.
- If (0 < TimeoutDefault && TimeoutDefault < 0xFFFF), then the
PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage() function displays a progress bar, waiting
for TimeoutDefault seconds. If the user presses a key, then the setup
utility is entered, otherwise the normal boot option processing takes
place.
The TimeoutDefault parameter is supposed to be set from
gEfiIntelFrameworkModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPlatformBootTimeOut
which has the following (matching) documentation in
"IntelFrameworkModulePkg/IntelFrameworkModulePkg.dec":
The number of seconds that the firmware will wait before initiating the
original default boot selection.
A value of 0 indicates that the default boot selection is to be
initiated immediately on boot.
The value of 0xFFFF then firmware will wait for user input before
booting.
OVMF does this actually -- see the Timeout variable in
PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior() -- but right before calling
PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage(), OVMF hardwires TimeoutDefault to 0xFFFF.
This has been acceptable until now, because OVMF implements its own "wait
for keypress at the splash screen" logic in PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior(),
completely avoiding the progress bar mentioned above. OVMF only calls
PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage() when the user presses a key during its own
"splash screen wait", and *then* it indeed makes sense to enter the setup
utility unconditionally.
However, even that way, the
Timeout = 0xffff;
assignment is superfluous, because 0xFFFF is already the default value of
PcdPlatformBootTimeOut in "IntelFrameworkModulePkg.dec", and OvmfPkg
doesn't override it in its DSC files.

When PI can distinguish the "full config" boot mode from "assume no
changes", then the following BDS logic is correct:
if BootMode == BOOT_WITH_FULL_CONFIGURATION:
//
// connect all devices
// create & append each default boot option that's missing
//
BdsLibConnectAll
BdsLibEnumerateAllBootOption
else if BootMode == BOOT_ASSUMING_NO_CONFIGURATION_CHANGES:
//
// just stick with current BootOrder and the Boot#### variables
// referenced by it
//
In theory, the first branch is intended to run infrequently, and the
"assume no changes" branch should run most of the time.
However, some platforms can't tell these two boot modes apart. The
following substitute had been introduced:
//
// Technically, always assume "full config", but the BootMode HOB is
// actually meaningless wrt. to "full config" or "assume no changes".
//
ASSERT (BootMode == BOOT_WITH_FULL_CONFIGURATION);
//
// Key off the existence of BootOrder. Try to prepare an in-memory list
// of boot options, based on BootOrder and the referenced Boot####
// variables.
//
Status = BdsLibBuildOptionFromVar()
//
// If that succeeded, we'll treat it as "assume no changes". If it
// failed (*only* if it failed), we'll build default boot options,
// calling it "full config":
//
if EFI_ERROR(Status):
BdsLibConnectAll()
BdsLibEnumerateAllBootOption(BootOptionList)
What we have now in OVMF is a mixture of the hack, and the behavior that's
theoretically correct for "full config":
- We assert "full config" -- this is OK.
- We call "connect all" and "enumerate all" deliberately -- this is OK
too. It matches "full config" which we assert.
- However, we also have the hack in place, which had been meant as an
alternative.
In order to clean this up, we either need to restore the hack to its
original form (ie. comment out the unconditional calls again), or we ought
to remove the hack altogether.
The unconditional "connect all" + "enumerate all" calls are the correct
approach for OVMF, because we want, in fact, to start with "full config".
The QEMU boot order specification and the set of emulated devices might
change "out of band", which excludes "assume no changes".
In other words, removing the hack corresponds to the "real production"
case that the comment hints at.
Because SetBootOrderFromQemu() may change the BootOrder NvVar, we must
preserve the BdsLibBuildOptionFromVar() function call, in order to
refresh the in-memory list with the new boot priorities.
(The last step of BdsLibEnumerateAllBootOption() is such a call too.)

This call can cause a reset, and is most critical for ACPI S3/S4

OVMF does not have true non-volatile variable support, so
this call could cause a continuous reset situation in certain
scenarios. (The BdsLibSaveMemoryTypeInformation may set an
non-volatile variable, and then reset with the assumption that
the variable will still exist during the next boot.)

Note:
* This only works before ExitBootServices
* For OVMF, variables are only preserved on the disk if there
is a hard disk connected which has a writeable FAT file system.
The Ovmf/Library/EmuVariableFvbLib library will look for the
gUefiOvmfPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdEmuVariableEvent PCD to be set to
a non-zero value. If set, it is treated as an event handle, and
each write to the EmuVariableFvb will cause the event to be
signaled.
In this change, the OVMF platform BDS library sets up this event,
and sets the PCD so that after each write to the EMU Variable FVB,
the non-volatile variables will be saved out to the file system.
The end result is that NV variables that are written prior to the
ExitBootServices call should be preserved by storing them on the
disk.

QEMU will automatically fill the video BIOS image into memory at the
legacy video BIOS memory location (0xc0000). This code will look

firmware image.
QEMU does not appear to emulate the PCI rom expansion method
