The "Confirm64KilobytesOfUnauthenticatedVariableStorage" test case of the
Secure Boot Logo Test ("Microsoft.UefiSecureBootLogo.Tests") suite in the
Microsoft Hardware Certification Kit expects to be able to populate the
variable store up to roughly 64 KB, with a series of 1 KB sized,
unauthenticated variables. OVMF's current live varstore area is too small
for this: 56 KB.
Introduce the FD_SIZE_4MB build macro (equivalently, FD_SIZE_IN_KB=4096),
which
- enlarges the full flash image to 4MB -- QEMU supports up to 8MB, see
FLASH_MAP_BASE_MIN in "hw/i386/pc_sysfw.c" --,
- inside that, grows the varstore area / pflash chip to 528 KB, and within
it, the live area from 56 KB to 256 KB.
Importantly, a firmware binary built with -D FD_SIZE_4MB will *not* be
compatible with a variable store that originates from a variable store
template built *without* -D FD_SIZE_4MB. This is the reason for the large
increase, as every such change breaks compatibility between a new firmware
binary and old varstore files.
Enlarging the varstore does not impact the performance of normal
operations, as we keep the varstore block size 4KB. The performance of
reclaim is affected, but that is expected (since reclaim has to rework the
full live area). And, reclaim occurs proportionally less frequently.
While at it, the FVMAIN_COMPACT volume (with the compressed FFS file in
it) is also enlarged significantly, so that we have plenty of room for
future DXEFV (and perhaps PEIFV) increments -- DXEFV has been growing
steadily, and that increase shows through compression too. Right now the
PEIFV and DXEFV volumes need no resizing.
Here's a summary:
Description Compression type Size [KB]
------------------------- ----------------- ----------------------
Non-volatile data storage open-coded binary 128 -> 528 ( +400)
data
Variable store 56 -> 256 ( +200)
Event log 4 -> 4 ( +0)
Working block 4 -> 4 ( +0)
Spare area 64 -> 264 ( +200)
FVMAIN_COMPACT uncompressed 1712 -> 3360 (+1648)
FV FFS file LZMA compressed
PEIFV uncompressed 896 -> 896 ( +0)
individual PEI uncompressed
modules
DXEFV uncompressed 10240 -> 10240 ( +0)
individual DXE uncompressed
modules
SECFV uncompressed 208 -> 208 ( +0)
SEC driver
reset vector code
For now, the 2MB flash image remains the default.

FD_SIZE_xMB defines have existed for flash size selection. They can be
passed as "-D FD_SIZE_xMB" on the command line. Passing multiple of them
at the same time has never been supported; earlier settings on the command
line cannot be overridden.
Introduce the integer valued FD_SIZE_IN_KB macro, which provides the
following improvements:
- several instances of it are permitted on the command line, with the last
one taking effect,
- conditional statements in the DSC and FDF files need only check a single
macro, and multiple values can be checked in a single !if with the ||
operator,
- nested !ifdef / !else ladders can be replaced with flat equality tests,
- in the future, flash sizes can be expressed with a finer than MB
granularity, if necessary.
For now, we're going to preserve the FD_SIZE_xMB defines as convenience
wrappers for FD_SIZE_IN_KB.
FD_SIZE_IN_KB is being added to the DSC files because this way we can
depend on it in both the DSC and FDF files.

The DecompressMemFvs() function in "OvmfPkg/Sec/SecMain.c" uses more
memory, temporarily, than what PEIFV and DXEFV will ultimately need.
First, it uses an output buffer for decompression, second, the
decompression itself needs a scratch buffer (and this scratch buffer is
the highest area that SEC uses).
DecompressMemFvs() used to be called on normal boots only (ie. not on S3
resume), which is why the decompression output buffer and the scratch
buffer were allowed to scribble over RAM. However, we'll soon start to
worry during S3 resume that the runtime OS might tamper with the
pre-decompressed PEIFV, and we'll decompress the firmware volumes on S3
resume too, from pristine flash. For this we'll need to know the end of
the scratch buffer in advance, so we can prepare a non-malicious OS for
it.
Calculate the end of the scratch buffer statically in the FDF files, and
assert in DecompressMemFvs() that the runtime decompression will match it.

OVMF_VARS.fd and OVMF_CODE.fd split the variable store and the firmware
code in separate files.
The PCDs' values continue to depend only on FD_SIZE_1MB vs. FD_SIZE_2MB.
With the split files, it must be ensured on the QEMU command line that
OVMF_VARS.fd and OVMF_CODE.fd be contiguously mapped so that they end
exactly at 4GB. See QEMU commit 637a5acb (first released in v2.0.0).
In this patch we must take care to assign each PCD only once.
