| +-------------> IterateVariablesInBuffer()
| | for each loaded / deserialized variable:
| +-|-----------------> IterateVariablesCallbackSetSystemVariable()
| | | gRT->SetVariable()
| | |
| | IterateVariablesInBuffer() stops processing variables as soon as the
| | first error is encountered from the callback function.
| |
| | In this case the callback function is
| IterateVariablesCallbackSetSystemVariable(), selected by
SerializeVariablesSetSerializedVariables().
The result is that no NvVar is restored from the file after the first
gRT->SetVariable() failure.
On my system such a failure
- never happens in an OVMF build with secure boot disabled,
- happens *immediately* with SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE, because the first
variable to restore is "AuthVarKeyDatabase".
"AuthVarKeyDatabase" has the EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS
attribute set. Since the loop tries to restore it before any keys (PK, KEK
etc) are enrolled, gRT->SetVariable() rejects it with
EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION. Consequently the NvVar restore loop terminates
immediately, and we never reach non-authenticated variables such as
Boot#### and BootOrder.
Until work on KVM-compatible flash emulation converges between qemu and
OvmfPkg, improve the SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE boot experience by masking
EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION in the callback:
- authenticated variables continue to be rejected same as before, but
- at least we allow the loop to progress and restore non-authenticated
variables, for example boot options.

The descriptor table (also known as "queue") consists of descriptors. (The
corresponding type in the code is VRING_DESC.)
An individual descriptor describes a contiguous buffer, to be transferred
uni-directionally between host and guest.
Several descriptors in the descriptor table can be linked into a
descriptor chain, specifying a bi-directional scatter-gather transfer
between host and guest. Such a descriptor chain is also known as "virtio
request".
(The descriptor table can host sereval descriptor chains (in-flight virtio
requests) in parallel, but the OVMF driver supports at most one chain, at
any point in time.)
The first descriptor in any descriptor chain is called "head descriptor".
In order to submit a number of parallel requests (= a set of independent
descriptor chains) from the guest to the host, the guest must put *only*
the head descriptor of each separate chain onto the Available Ring.
VirtioLib currently places the head of its one descriptor chain onto the
Available Ring repeatedly, once for each single (head *or* dependent)
descriptor in said descriptor chain. If the descriptor chain comprises N
descriptors, this error amounts to submitting the same entire chain N
times in parallel.

On my Thinkpad T510 laptop with RHEL-6 as host, this probably leads to
simultaneous DMA transfers targeting the same RAM area. Even though the
source of each transfer is identical, the data is corrupted in the
destination buffer -- the CRC32 calculated over the buffer varies, even
though the origin of the transfers is the same, never rewritten LBA.

The problem is invisible on my HP Z400 workstation.
Fix the request submission by:
- building the only one descriptor chain supported by VirtioLib always at
the beginning of the descriptor table,
- ensuring the head descriptor of this chain is put on the Available Ring
only once,
- requesting the virtio spec's language to be cleaned up

Also, add a small delay after the 0xCF9 hard reset request -- on qemu/kvm the

The reset requested via the keyboard controller (port 0x64) is actually a
soft reset, but qemu has supported it since forever (plus qemu has not
distinguished between hard reset and soft reset, although this is changing
now). Therefore leave the current IoWrite() in place for compatibility.
On qemu versions with commit 1ec4ba74 ("PIIX3: reset the VM when the Reset
Control Register's RCPU bit gets set"), use the PIIX3 RCR as first choice.
In the future qemu will act differently on soft vs. hard reset requests,
and we should honor that in ResetCold().
Writing to ioport 0xCF9 on qemu builds prior to commit 1ec4ba74 should
have no effect. Access to the PCI host config register went through
several implementations in qemu. Commit 9f6f0423 ("pci_host: rewrite
using rwhandler") seems safe, both before and after.
Commit d0ed8076 ("pci_host: convert conf index and data ports to memory
API") inadvertently dropped the alignment/size check, causing a boot
regression on NetBSD. It was fixed about six months later in commit
cdde6ffc, which is current. Translating that to qemu releases, the bug
was visible from v1.0 to v1.1.0.
On physical hardware cycling between reset methods is sometimes necessary
<http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/3561.html>. On qemu the port access should
trap immediately.

We currently just jump to offset 0x200 in the kernel image, in 64-bit
mode. This is completely broken. If it's a 32-bit kernel, we'll be
jumping into the compressed data payload.
If it's a 64-bit kernel, it'll work... but the 0x200 offset is
explicitly marked as 'may change in the future', has already changed
from 0x100 to 0x200 in the past with no fanfare, and bootloaders are
instructed that they should look at the ELF header to find the offset.
So although it does actually work today, it's still broken in the
"someone needs to whipped for doing it this way" sense of the word.
In fact, the same bug exists in other bootloaders so the 0x200 offset
probably *is* now set in stone. But still it's only valid to use it if
we *know* it's a 64-bit kernel. And we don't. There *is* no ELF header
that we can look at when we're booting a bzImage, and we can't rely on
it having a PE/COFF header either.
The 32-bit entry point is always guaranteed to work, and we need to
support it anyway. So let's just *always* use it, in 32-bit mode, and
then we don't have to make up some horrible heuristics for detecting
32-bit vs. 64-bit kernels.

The TimerLib in the OvmfPkg uses a global variable called mPmba and depends on that global being updated. This works for modules loaded into memory, but not XIP modules in ROM/FLASH.
This patch removes the mPmba global variable and instead reads the PIIX4 Power Management Base Address from PCI configuration space when it is needed. This patch also simplifies the initialization logic in the constructor and introduces #defines to eliminate hard coded values in the function implementations. According to the PIIX4 documentation, the IO Space enable bit in the PCI Command Register does not have to be set for the Power Management Base Address to be decoded, so that one op has been removed from the constructor.
I have tested this patch with QEMU and verified that the UDK Debugger us functional when SOURCE_DEBUG_ENABLE is set.

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

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.

This library provides an interface where variables can be saved and restored
using a file in a file system accessible to the firmware. It is expected
that a platform BDS library will use this library. The platform BDS
implementation can decide which devices to connect and then to attempt to use
for saving and restoring NV variables.

QEMU will automatically fill the video BIOS image into memory at the
legacy video BIOS memory location (0xc0000). This code will look
there for a EFI option rom image, and load it if it found. This
allows the video option ROM to be separated out from the main system
firmware image.
QEMU does not appear to emulate the PCI rom expansion method
for making the video BIOS available to the system.

It is not proper for a library implementation to assume the names of function in a parent module.
Instead, they must be designed as the pointers to these two BdsDxe functions and passed in.
