A number of tools depend on passing the kernel image, the initial ramdisk,
and the kernel command line to the guest on the QEMU command line (options
-kernel, -initrd, -append, respectively). At the moment, these QEMU
options work, but the guest kernel loaded this way is launched by a
minimal binary firmware that is dynamically composed by QEMU. As a
consequence, such a kernel has no UEFI environment.
This patch enables -kernel, -initrd, -append to work on top of the
ArmVirtualizationQemu firmware build. The approach it takes is different
from how the same functionality is implemented in OvmfPkg.
OvmfPkg contains a full-fledged Linux boot loader (see
"OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBdsLib/QemuKernel.c" and
"OvmfPkg/Library/LoadLinuxLib/"). OVMF's LoadLinuxLib sets up the required
kernel environment in a sophisticated way (including x86-specific
artifacts like the GDT), calls ExitBootServices() itself (for legacy
kernels without EFI handover protocol), and jumps to the kernel (using x86
assembly).
In ArmVirtualizationPkg's PlatformIntelBdsLib, we require the kernel being
loaded to have an EFI stub -- that is, to be a genuine UEFI application.
(The EFI stub is not an additional burden for guest kernels -- the EFI
stub is a hard requirement anyway because it needs to process the DTB
heavily:
- it removes memory nodes,
- it removes memreserve entries,
- it adds UEFI properties to the "chosen" node,
- it calculates and installs virt-to-phys mappings with
SetVirtualAddressMap() in a way that enables kexec [planned].
Kudos to Ard Biesheuvel for summarizing the above.)
An EFI-stubbed Linux guest kernel can be loaded with plain
gBS->LoadImage(). The EFI stub will look up its own
EFI_LOADED_IMAGE_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL instance (ie. the device path where
it has been loaded from), and it will locate the initial ramdisk named by
the "initrd" command line parameter as a *sibling file* on the same
device.
The initrd file is then loaded using the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL.
This approach enables the EFI stub to load the initial ramdisk from normal
EFI System Partitions, from remote PXE/TFTP directories -- and it enables
us to provide the initrd from memory as well.
In this patch:
- We download the kernel image, the initrd image, and the kernel command
line, using QEMU's fw_cfg interface.
- We create a read-only EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL instance that has
just a root directory, with the three downloaded files in it.
- The handle that carries the simple file system has a single-node
VenHw(...) device path (not counting the terminator node).
- We load the EFI-stubbed kernel (which is a UEFI application) with
gBS->LoadImage(), passing "VenHw(...)/kernel" as device path. This
causes gBS->LoadImage() to call back into our filesystem.
- Appended to the downloaded command line, we pass "initrd=initrd" to the
EFI stub.
- Once the EFI stub is running, it loads the initial ramdisk from the
"sibling" device path "VenHw(...)/initrd", also calling back into our
filesystem.

In PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior() we should follow the same pattern as in
OvmfPkg's: after the consoles are connected,
- connect all drivers and devices,
- enumerate all boot options,
- enter the Intel BDS FrontPage if the user presses a key different from
Enter.
We set the countdown to 3 seconds, similarly to the timeout that we

After reviewing OvmfPkg's use of its own QemuFwCfgLib instances, it is
clear that its only pre-DXE fw_cfg dependency concerns S3 support (the
QemuFwCfgS3Enabled() call in "PlatformPei/Platform.c").
For ARM guests, S3 is in the distant future, but we can see several
shorter term applications for fw_cfg that all reside in DXE:
- controlling boot order (to be implemented in PlatformBdsLib for Intel
BDS),
- supporting -kernel / -initrd / -append boot on QEMU (to be implemented
in PlatformBdsLib for Intel BDS, similarly),
- loading and linking ACPI tables,
- installing SMBIOS tables.
Therefore it makes sense to add a simple MMIO-based fw_cfg client library
to ArmVirtualizationPkg that for the moment is only available to
DXE_DRIVER modules.
Because MMIO accesses are costly on KVM/ARM, InternalQemuFwCfgReadBytes()
accesses the fw_cfg data register in full words. This speeds up transfers
almost linearly.

Qemu's firmware configuration interface for ARM consists of two MMIO
registers, a 16-bit selector, and a 64-bit data register that allows the
guest to transfer data with 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit wide accesses. Parse the

This adds support for executing UEFI in a QEMU/mach-virt emulated environment.
The following assumptions are made about the target:
- DRAM base at 0x4000_0000, containing the device tree blob
- DRAM size at least 1 MB
- device tree uses 64-bit physical base addresses and sizes
- ARM architected timer
- Cortex-A15 CPU (if built for 32-bit)
The following information is retrieved from the device tree:
- PL011 UART base address
- GIC base addresses
- virtual timer interrupt
- PL031 RTC base address
- DRAM size, must be at least 128 MB
- virtio MMIO transports
- PSCI 0.2 availability (for reset and poweroff)
The device tree image is relocated and installed as a configuration table
so an EFI stub enabled kernel can be booted directly without the need for
a bootloader.

This is an implementation of ArmPlatformLib that discovers the size of system
DRAM from a device tree blob located at the address passed in
gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdDeviceTreeBaseAddress, which should equal the value in
gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdSystemMemoryBase.
As the device tree blob is passed in system DRAM, this library can only be used
if sufficient DRAM is available (>= 128 MB) and if not using shadowed NOR. The
reason for this is that it makes it easier to guarantee that such a device tree
blob at base of DRAM will not be clobbered before we get a chance to preserve it.
