Add a schema that describes the different uses and properties of virtual
machine firmware.
Each firmware executable installed on a host system should come with at
least one JSON file that conforms to this schema. Each file informs the
management applications about
- the firmware's properties and one possible use case / feature set,
- configuration bits that are required to run the firmware binary.
In addition, define rules for management apps for picking the highest
priority firmware JSON file when multiple such files match the search
criteria.

Notes:
RFCv3:
- Previous version (RFCv2) was posted at:
<20180417224054.26363-1-lersek@redhat.com">http://mid.mail-archive.com/20180417224054.26363-1-lersek@redhat.com>
- Trim the CC list a little.
- Wrap to a 72-char margin, for an easier reading. [Markus]
- Run spell-checker. [Markus]
- Rename @FirmwareType to @FirmwareOSInterface, to better express the
concept. Update the enum constants accordingly (incl. documentation);
in particular replace @slof with @openfirmware. Rename the @type field
in @Firmware to @interface-type. [David, Gerd, Paolo, Thomas]
- Better yet, rename @interface-type to @interface-types (plural), and
turn it into a list of @FirmwareOSInterface entries, to express an
ordered compat list with multiple firmware<->OS interface types. [Dan,
Eric, Gerd, Paolo]
- Drop @FirmwareArchitecture, and switch the type of
@FirmwareTarget.@architecture to @SysEmuTarget (now defined in
"common.json"). [Dan, Gerd, Markus]
- Switch elements of @FirmwareTarget.@machines from aliases ("pc",
"q35", "virt") to concrete machine types, with glob patterns
understood. [Dan, Gerd]
- Rename @secure-boot-enrolled-keys to @enrolled-keys, and drop the
dependency on @secure-boot in its documentation. [Gerd]
- Describe the firmware JSON directories and the search rules to
management apps, under the @Firmware element. Relatedly, remove the
language on any concrete certificates under @enrolled-keys, as these
can be customized through the overrides. Also refresh the commit
message. [Dan, Gerd]
- Rename @pathname fields to @filename. [Markus]
- Don't replace "@executable.@filename" with "@executable.filename"
(that is, keep the second @ sign), because removing the 2nd @ sign
messes up the documentation ("filename" stops being type-set in
monospace in the HTML, for example). [Markus]
- Rename @nvram_template to @nvram-template. [Thomas]
- Keep @x-check-firmware for a while longer. [Dan, Gerd, Markus, Paolo]
RFCv2:
- previous version (RFCv1) was posted at
<20180407000117.25640-1-lersek@redhat.com">http://mid.mail-archive.com/20180407000117.25640-1-lersek@redhat.com>
- v2 is basically a rewrite from scratch, starting out with Dan's
definitions from
<20180410102033.GL5155@redhat.com">http://mid.mail-archive.com/20180410102033.GL5155@redhat.com> and
<20180410110357.GP5155@redhat.com">http://mid.mail-archive.com/20180410110357.GP5155@redhat.com>,
hopefully addressing others' feedback as well
RFCv1:
- Folks on the CC list, please try to see if the suggested schema is
flexible enough to describe the virtual firmware(s) that you are
familiar with. Thanks!

+# in the ACPI specification. On the "pc-i440fx-*" machine
+# types of the @i386 and @x86_64 emulation targets, S3 can be

+# can be enabled with "-global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=0" and
+# disabled with "-global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1".
+#
+# @acpi-s4: The firmware supports S4 hibernation (suspend to disk), as
+# defined in the ACPI specification. On the "pc-i440fx-*"
+# machine types of the @i386 and @x86_64 emulation targets, S4
+# can be enabled with "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0" and
+# disabled with "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1". On the

+# targets, S4 can be enabled with "-global
+# ICH9-LPC.disable_s4=0" and disabled with "-global
+# ICH9-LPC.disable_s4=1".
+#
+# @amd-sev: The firmware supports running under AMD Secure Encrypted
+# Virtualization, as specified in the AMD64 Architecture
+# Programmer's Manual. QEMU command line options related to
+# this feature are documented in
+# "docs/amd-memory-encryption.txt".
+#
+# @enrolled-keys: The variable store (NVRAM) template associated with
+# the firmware binary has the UEFI Secure Boot
+# operational mode turned on, with certificates
+# enrolled.
+#
+# @requires-smm: The firmware requires the platform to emulate SMM
+# (System Management Mode), as defined in the AMD64
+# Architecture Programmer's Manual, and in the Intel(R)64
+# and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual. On
+# the "pc-q35-*" machine types of the @i386 and @x86_64
+# emulation targets, SMM emulation can be enabled with
+# "-machine smm=on". (On the "pc-q35-*" machine types of
+# the @i386 emulation target, @requires-smm presents
+# further CPU requirements; one combination known to work
+# is "-cpu coreduo,-nx".) If the firmware is marked as
+# both @secure-boot and @requires-smm, then write
+# accesses to the pflash chip (NVRAM) that holds the UEFI
+# variable store must be restricted to code that executes
+# in SMM, using the additional option "-global
+# driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on".
+# Furthermore, a large guest-physical address space
+# (comprising guest RAM, memory hotplug range, and 64-bit
+# PCI MMIO aperture), and/or a high VCPU count, may
+# present high SMRAM requirements from the firmware. On
+# the "pc-q35-*" machine types of the @i386 and @x86_64
+# emulation targets, the SMRAM size may be increased
+# above the default 16MB with the "-global
+# mch.extended-tseg-mbytes=uint16" option. As a rule of
+# thumb, the default 16MB size suffices for 1TB of
+# guest-phys address space and a few tens of VCPUs; for
+# every further TB of guest-phys address space, add 8MB
+# of SMRAM. 48MB should suffice for 4TB of guest-phys
+# address space and 2-3 hundred VCPUs.
+#
+# @secure-boot: The firmware implements the software interfaces for UEFI
+# Secure Boot, as defined in the UEFI specification. Note
+# that without @requires-smm, guest code running with
+# kernel privileges can undermine the security of Secure
+# Boot.
+#
+# @verbose-dynamic: When firmware log capture is enabled, the firmware
+# logs a large amount of debug messages, which may
+# impact boot performance. With log capture disabled,
+# there is no boot performance impact. On the
+# "pc-i440fx-*" and "pc-q35-*" machine types of the
+# @i386 and @x86_64 emulation targets, firmware log
+# capture can be enabled with the QEMU command line
+# options "-chardev file,id=fwdebug,path=LOGFILEPATH
+# -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=fwdebug".
+# @verbose-dynamic is mutually exclusive with

+#
+# @verbose-static: The firmware unconditionally produces a large amount
+# of debug messages, which may impact boot performance.
+# This feature may typically be carried by certain UEFI
+# firmware for the "virt-*" machine types of the @arm

+# @Firmware:

+# Describes a firmware (or a firmware use case) to management software.

+# It is possible for multiple @Firmware elements to match the search

+# one of the many matches, and users need the ability to override distro
+# defaults.
+#
+# It is recommended to create firmware JSON files (each containing a
+# single @Firmware root element) with a double-digit prefix, for example
+# "50-ovmf.json", "50-seabios-256k.json", etc, so they can be sorted in
+# predictable order. The firmware JSON files should be searched for in
+# three directories:
+#
+# - /usr/share/qemu/firmware -- populated by distro-provided firmware
+# packages (XDG_DATA_DIRS covers
+# /usr/share by default),
+#
+# - /etc/qemu/firmware -- exclusively for sysadmins' local additions,
+#
+# - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/firmware -- exclusively for per-user local
+# additions (XDG_CONFIG_HOME
+# defaults to $HOME/.config).
+#
+# Top-down, the list of directories goes from general to specific.
+#
+# Management software should build a list of files from all three
+# locations, then sort the list by filename (i.e., last pathname
+# component). Management software should choose the first JSON file on
+# the sorted list that matches the search criteria. If a more specific
+# directory has a file with same name as a less specific directory, then
+# the file in the more specific directory takes effect. If the more
+# specific file is zero length, it hides the less specific one.
+#
+# For example, if a distro ships

+#
+# The sysadmin can replace/alter the distro default OVMF with

+# @description: Provides a human-readable description of the firmware.
+# Management software may or may not display @description.
+#
+# @interface-types: Lists the types of interfaces that the firmware can
+# expose to the guest OS. This is a non-empty, ordered
+# list; entries near the beginning of @interface-types
+# are considered more native to the firmware, and/or
+# to have a higher quality implementation in the
+# firmware, than entries near the end of
+# @interface-types.
+#
+# @mapping: Describes the loading / mapping properties of the firmware.
+#
+# @targets: Collects the target architectures (QEMU system emulators)
+# and their machine types that may execute the firmware.
+#
+# @features: Lists the features that the firmware supports, and the
+# platform requirements it presents.
+#
+# @tags: A list of auxiliary strings associated with the firmware for
+# which @description is not appropriate, due to the latter's
+# possible exposure to the end-user. @tags serves development and
+# debugging purposes only, and management software shall
+# explicitly ignore it.
