Recent qemu versions compose all ACPI tables on the host side, according
to the target hardware configuration, and make the tables available to any
guest firmware over fw_cfg.
See version compatibility information below.
The feature moves the burden of keeping ACPI tables up-to-date from boot
firmware to qemu (which is the source of hardware configuration anyway).
This patch adds client code for this feature. Benefits of the
qemu-provided ACPI tables include PCI hotplug for example.
Qemu provides the following three fw_cfg files:
- etc/acpi/rsdp
- etc/acpi/tables
- etc/table-loader
"etc/acpi/rsdp" and "etc/acpi/tables" are similar, they are only kept
separate because they have different allocation requirements in SeaBIOS.
Both of these fw_cfg files contain preformatted ACPI payload.
"etc/acpi/rsdp" contains only the RSDP table, while "etc/acpi/tables"
contains all other tables, concatenated.
The tables in these two fw_cfg files are filled in by qemu, but two kinds
of fields are left incomplete in each table: pointers to other tables, and
checksums (which depend on the pointers).
Qemu initializes each pointer with a relative offset into the fw_cfg file
that contains the pointed-to ACPI table. The final pointer values depend
on where the fw_cfg files, holding the pointed-to ACPI tables, will be
placed in memory by the guest. That is, the pointer fields need to be
"relocated" (incremented) by the base addresses of where "/etc/acpi/rsdp"
and "/etc/acpi/tables" will be placed in guest memory.
This is where the third file, "/etc/table-loader" comes in the picture. It
is a linker/loader script that has several command types:
One command type instructs the guest to download the other two files.
Another command type instructs the guest to increment ("absolutize") a
pointer field (having a relative initial value) in the pointing ACPI
table, present in some fw_cfg file, with the dynamic base address of the
same (or another) fw_cfg file, holding the pointed-to ACPI table.
The third command type instructs the guest to compute checksums over
ranges and to store them.
In edk2, EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL knows about table relationships -- it
handles linkage automatically when a table is installed. The protocol
takes care of checksumming too. RSDP is installed automatically. Hence we
only need to care about the "etc/acpi/tables" fw_cfg file, determining the
boundaries of each ACPI table inside it, and installing those tables.

The previous patch ensures that the LockBox is protected during DXE (but
the OS can still drop it) if S3 is unsupported or disabled. However, S3
related drivers not only save data in the lockbox, they allocate objects
with Reserved and AcpiNVS memory types too, which the OS can't (must not)
release. This is a waste when S3 is unsupported or disabled.
In OVMF a good "choke point" for these drivers is the entry point of
AcpiS3SaveDxe. The messages of the following commits are relevant to the
data and control flow:
- SVN r15290 (git commit 8f5ca05b)
- SVN r15305 (git commit 5a217a06)
- SVN r15306 (git commit d4ba06df)
Prevent AcpiS3SaveDxe from loading when S3 is unsupported or disabled.
This should keep away (most of the) dependent drivers too.

If (mBootMode == BOOT_ON_S3_RESUME) -- that is, we are resuming --, then
the patch has no observable effect.
If (mBootMode != BOOT_ON_S3_RESUME && mS3Supported) -- that is, we are
booting or rebooting, and S3 is supported), then the patch has no
observable effect either.
If (mBootMode != BOOT_ON_S3_RESUME && !mS3Supported) -- that is, we are
booting or rebooting, and S3 is unsupported), then the patch effects the
following two fixes:
- The LockBox storage is reserved from DXE (but not the OS). Drivers in
DXE may save data in the LockBox regardless of S3 support, potentially
corrupting any overlapping allocations. Make sure there's no overlap.
- The LockBox storage is cleared. A LockBox inherited across a non-resume
reboot, populated with well-known GUIDs, breaks drivers that want to
save entries with those GUIDs.

There are several instances of asserts which do not also handle
the error condition in Release builds.
Because these functions are called in different location of the
code and their parameters might change during the execution, it
is safer to handle the error.

If Start() succeeds, the callback is only executed when the setup is
complete (on the stack of RestoreTPL()), rather than on the stack of
InstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces(), when the driver setup may yet be
theoretically incomplete.
If Start() fails, the protocol interface will have been uninstalled
(rolled back) by the time the callback runs (again, on the stack of
RestoreTPL()). Since protocol notification callbacks begin with locating
the protocol interface in question, such attempts to locate will fail
immediately and save some work in the callback.

In this patch we populate the form with the two widgets related to video
resolution:
- A read-only string field displaying the preference for the next boot.
- A drop-down list offering choices for changing the setting. This list is
implemented with dynamically generated IFR opcodes.
(In general, the current preference may be missing, or it may be invalid
for the available video RAM size. The list of possible new settings is
filtered with the video RAM size.)
Because the form now becomes able to receive input, we must also implement
ExtractConfig(). This function tells the HII engine about the state of the
widgets.
For now we set up both widgets with static data only:
- The current preference always says "Unset". The driver code is still
isolated from the backend (the UEFI variable store).
- The list of possible resolutions offers 800x600 only. We don't
interrogate the GOP yet.

We'll need a C language (ie. structure) representation for the state of
the visual elements on the form. We choose the Buffer Storage kind (see
29.2.5.6 "Storage" in UEFI 2.4A), because it's easy to work with.
Note that the structure added in this patch has nothing to do with UEFI
non-volatile variables.

The two functions introduced here allow the saving and loading of platform
configuration to/from the non-volatile variable store.
The PLATFORM_CONFIG structure and the two functions that take it / return
it are generally meant for any DXE or UEFI driver that needs to access
platform configuration. For now we keep this small "library" internal to
PlatformDxe.
The PLATFORM_CONFIG wire format is intended only to grow over time (as
long as the variable GUID remains unchanged). At the introduction of new
fields, new feature flags must be added, and recognized in
PlatformConfigLoad().
