This is the code that will do the actual communication between OVMF and
a PV block backend, where the block device lives. The protocol used is
describe in the blkif.h header.
This implementation originally comes from Mini-OS, a part of the Xen

Change in V3:
- Improve comment of XenBusReadUint64.
- Moving blkif.h to this patch
with the necessary #pragma pack(4) applied for Ia32.
- Add a note about the license in the commit message
- Add "The protocol used is describe in the blkif.h header." in the
commit message
- Have a mandatory sector-size multiple of 512 or fail to initialize.
- use Sector instead of Offset for IO request.

This patch imports publics headers in order to use features from Xen
like XenStore, PV Block... There is only the necessary header files and
there are only a few modifications in order to facilitate future merge of
more recent header (that would be necessary to access new features).
There is little modification compared to the original files:
- Removed most of the unused part of the headers
- Use of ZeroMem() instead of memset()
- using #pragma pack(4) for IA32 compilation.
- Replace types to be more UEFI compliant using a script.
OVMF, when built for IA32 arch, uses the gcc switch -malign-double. This
change the alignment of fields in some struct compare to what is
espected by Xen and any backends. To fix the alignment, the #pragma pack(4)
directive is used around the struct that need it.
Command to run to change types:
find OvmfPkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Xen -type f -name '*.h' -exec sed
--regexp-extended --file=fix_type_in_xen_includes.sed --in-place {} \;

The Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (and Windows 7) UEFI guest's default video driver
dereferences the real mode Int10h vector, loads the pointed-to handler
code, and executes what it thinks to be VGA BIOS services in an internal
real-mode emulator. Consequently, video mode switching doesn't work in
Windows 2008 R2 SP1 when it runs on the pure UEFI build of OVMF, making
the guest uninstallable.
This patch adds a VGABIOS "shim" to QemuVideoDxe. For the first stdvga or
QXL card bound, an extremely stripped down VGABIOS imitation is installed
in the C segment. It provides a real implementation for the few services
that are in fact necessary for the win2k8r2sp1 UEFI guest, plus some fakes
that the guest invokes but whose effect is not important.
The C segment is not present in the UEFI memory map prepared by OVMF. We
never add memory space that would cover it (either in PEI, in the form of
memory resource descriptor HOBs, or in DXE, via gDS->AddMemorySpace()).
This way the handler body is invisible to all non-buggy UEFI guests, and
the rest of edk2.
The Int10h real-mode IVT entry is covered with a Boot Services Code page,
making that too unaccessible to the rest of edk2. (Thus UEFI guest OSes
different from the Windows 2008 family can reclaim the page. The Windows
2008 family accesses the page at zero regardless of the allocation type.)
The patch is the result of collaboration:
Initial proof of concept IVT entry installation and handler skeleton (in
NASM) by Jordan Justen.
Service tracing and implementation, data collection/analysis, and C coding
by yours truly.
Last minute changes by Gerd Hoffmann:
- Use OEM mode number (0xf1) instead of standard 800x600 mode (0x143). The
resolution of the OEM mode (0xf1) is not standardized; the guest can't
expect anything from it in advance.
- Use 1024x768 rather than 800x600 for more convenience in the Windows
2008 R2 SP1 guest during OS installation, and after normal boot until
the QXL XDDM guest driver is installed.

Why is the virtio-mmio implementation of the protocol a library,
instead of a driver binary?
The UEFI driver model would encourage to create a virtio-mmio driver
instead of a library. But the reasons why I created a library are:
- A virtio-mmio driver would imply an additional protocol that would
probably have a single attribute field:
typedef struct {
PHYSICAL_ADDRESS BaseAddress;
} VIRTIO_MMIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL;
- There is no (easy) way to scan the available VirtIo devices on a
platform. So, the UEFI firmware for this platform would need a driver
to produce instances for every virtio devices it wants to expose in
UEFI. A single call to a helper library (ie: VirtioMmioDeviceLib)
make the porting easier.

The registers in these spaces are located at a different offset and have
a different width whether the transport layer is either PCI or MMIO. This

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.

Processing on the host side -- the descriptor chain is processed three
times in parallel (its head is available to virtqueue_pop() thrice); the
same chain is submitted/collected separately to/from AIO three times:

virtio_blk_rw_complete req REQ#0 ret 0

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

We're supposed to zero everything in the kernel bootparams that we don't
explicitly initialise, other than the setup_header from 0x1f1 onwards
for a precisely defined length, which is copied from the bzImage.
We're *not* supposed to just pass the garbage that we happened to find
in the bzImage file surrounding the setup_header.

AppendDesc() should have a prefix implying its containing library,
VirtioLib. Update its sole client VirtioBlkDxe.

Introduce a new library called VirtioLib, for now only collecting the
following reusable functions with as little changes as possible:
- VirtioWrite()
- VirtioRead()
- VirtioRingInit()
- VirtioRingUninit()
- AppendDesc()

Separate virtio-blk related macro and type definitions from generic virtio
related ones. Adapt the virtio-blk driver since it needs the latter too.
