OVMF's SecMain is unique in the sense that it links against the following
two libraries *in combination*:
- IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/LzmaCustomDecompressLib/
LzmaCustomDecompressLib.inf
- MdePkg/Library/BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib/
BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib.inf
The ExtractGuidedSectionLib library class allows decompressor modules to
register themselves (keyed by GUID) with it, and it allows clients to
decompress file sections with a registered decompressor module that
matches the section's GUID.
BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib is a library instance (of type BASE) for this
library class. It has no constructor function.
LzmaCustomDecompressLib is a compatible decompressor module (of type
BASE). Its section type GUID is
gLzmaCustomDecompressGuid == EE4E5898-3914-4259-9D6E-DC7BD79403CF
When OVMF's SecMain module starts, the LzmaCustomDecompressLib constructor
function is executed, which registers its LZMA decompressor with the above
GUID, by calling into BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib:
LzmaDecompressLibConstructor() [GuidedSectionExtraction.c]
ExtractGuidedSectionRegisterHandlers() [BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib.c]
GetExtractGuidedSectionHandlerInfo()
PcdGet64 (PcdGuidedExtractHandlerTableAddress) -- NOTE THIS
Later, during a normal (non-S3) boot, SecMain utilizes this decompressor
to get information about, and to decompress, sections of the OVMF firmware
image:
SecCoreStartupWithStack() [OvmfPkg/Sec/SecMain.c]
SecStartupPhase2()
FindAndReportEntryPoints()
FindPeiCoreImageBase()
DecompressMemFvs()
ExtractGuidedSectionGetInfo() [BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib.c]
ExtractGuidedSectionDecode() [BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib.c]
Notably, only the extraction depends on full-config-boot; the registration
of LzmaCustomDecompressLib occurs unconditionally in the SecMain EFI
binary, triggered by the library constructor function.
This is where the bug happens. BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib maintains the
table of GUIDed decompressors (section handlers) at a fixed memory
location; selected by PcdGuidedExtractHandlerTableAddress (declared in
MdePkg.dec). The default value of this PCD is 0x1000000 (16 MB).
This causes SecMain to corrupt guest OS memory during S3, leading to
random crashes. Compare the following two memory dumps, the first taken
right before suspending, the second taken right after resuming a RHEL-7
guest:

The "EGSI" signature corresponds to EXTRACT_HANDLER_INFO_SIGNATURE
declared in
MdePkg/Library/BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib/BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib.c.
Additionally, the gLzmaCustomDecompressGuid (quoted above) is visible at
guest-phys offset 0x1000020.
Fix the problem as follows:
- Carve out 4KB from the 36KB gap that we currently have between
PcdOvmfLockBoxStorageBase + PcdOvmfLockBoxStorageSize == 8220 KB
and
PcdOvmfSecPeiTempRamBase == 8256 KB.
- Point PcdGuidedExtractHandlerTableAddress to 8220 KB (0x00807000).
- Cover the area with an EfiACPIMemoryNVS type memalloc HOB, if S3 is
supported and we're not currently resuming.
The 4KB size that we pick is an upper estimate for
BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib's internal storage size. The latter is
calculated as follows (see GetExtractGuidedSectionHandlerInfo()):
sizeof(EXTRACT_GUIDED_SECTION_HANDLER_INFO) + // 32
PcdMaximumGuidedExtractHandler * (
sizeof(GUID) + // 16
sizeof(EXTRACT_GUIDED_SECTION_DECODE_HANDLER) + // 8
sizeof(EXTRACT_GUIDED_SECTION_GET_INFO_HANDLER) // 8
)
OVMF sets PcdMaximumGuidedExtractHandler to 16 decimal (which is the
MdePkg default too), yielding 32 + 16 * (16 + 8 + 8) == 544 bytes.
Regarding the lifecycle of the new area:
(a) when and how it is initialized after first boot of the VM
The library linked into SecMain finds that the area lacks the signature.
It initializes the signature, plus the rest of the structure. This is
independent of S3 support.
Consumption of the area is also limited to SEC (but consumption does
depend on full-config-boot).
(b) how it is protected from memory allocations during DXE
It is not, in the general case; and we don't need to. Nothing else links
against BaseExtractGuidedSectionLib; it's OK if DXE overwrites the area.
(c) how it is protected from the OS
When S3 is enabled, we cover it with AcpiNVS in InitializeRamRegions().
When S3 is not supported, the range is not protected.
(d) how it is accessed on the S3 resume path
Examined by the library linked into SecMain. Registrations update the
table in-place (based on GUID matches).
(e) how it is accessed on the warm reset path
If S3 is enabled, then the OS won't damage the table (due to (c)), hence
see (d).
If S3 is unsupported, then the OS may or may not overwrite the
signature. (It likely will.) This is identical to the pre-patch status.

The S3 suspend/resume infrastructure depends on the LockBox library class.
The edk2 tree currently contains Null and SMM instances. The Null instance
is useless, and the SMM instance would require SMM emulation by including
the SMM core and adding several new drivers, which is deemed too complex.
Hence add a simple LockBoxLib instance for OVMF.

By splitting the PEI and DXE phases into separate FVs,

I. There are at least three locations in OvmfPkg that manipulate the PMBA
and related PIIX4 registers.
1. MiscInitialization() [OvmfPkg/PlatformPei/Platform.c]
module type: PEIM -- Pre-EFI Initialization Module
(a) currently sets the PMBA only: 00.01.3 / 0x40 bits [15:6]
2. AcpiTimerLibConstructor() [OvmfPkg/Library/AcpiTimerLib/AcpiTimerLib.c]
module type: BASE -- probably callable anywhere after PEI
(a) sets the PMBA if needed: 00.01.3 / 0x40 bits [15:6]
(b) sets PCICMD/IOSE if needed: 00.01.3 / 0x04 bit 0
(c) sets PMREGMISC/PMIOSE: 00.01.3 / 0x80 bit 0
3. AcpiInitialization() [OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBdsLib/BdsPlatform.c]
module type: DXE_DRIVER -- Driver eXecution Environment
(a) sets SCI_EN, which depends on correct PMBA setting from earlier
(
The relative order of #1 and #3 is dictated minimally by their module
types. Said relative order can be verified with the boot log:
27 Loading PEIM at 0x00000822320 EntryPoint=0x00000822580
PlatformPei.efi
28 Platform PEIM Loaded
1259 PlatformBdsInit
1270 PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior
Line 28 is printed by InitializePlatform()
[OvmfPkg/PlatformPei/Platform.c] which is the entry point of that
module. The other two lines are printed by the corresponding functions
in "OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBdsLib/BdsPlatform.c".
)
Currently #2 (AcpiTimerLibConstructor()) is called in a random spot
(whenever it gets loaded from the firmware image) and masks the
insufficient setup in #1. We shouldn't depend on that, PEI should finish
with IO space being fully accessibe. In addition, PEI should program the
same PMBA value as AcpiTimerLib.
II. The PEI change notwithstanding, AcpiTimerLib should stay defensive and
ensure proper PM configuration for itself (either by confirming or by
doing).
III. Considering a possible cleanup/unification of #2 and #3: timer
functions relying on AcpiTimerLibConstructor(),
- MicroSecondDelay()
- NanoSecondDelay()
- GetPerformanceCounter()
- GetPerformanceCounterProperties()
- GetTimeInNanoSecond()
may be called before #3 is reached (in Boot Device Selection phase), so we
should not move the initialization from #2 to #3. (Again, AcpiTimerLib
should contain its own setup.)
We should also not move #3 to an earlier phase -- SCI_EN is premature
unless we're about to boot real soon ("enable generation of SCI upon
assertion of PWRBTN_STS, LID_STS, THRM_STS, or GPI_STS bits").
