[SeaBIOS] SeaBIOS CSM status

2013-01-23 Thread David Woodhouse
Just a brief update for those who are interested... the CSM is fairly
functional now. I've tested with:

 Various Linuxes including CentOS [56], Fedora 17.
 Windows 7
 Windows 2008r2 (via EFI)
 OpenBSD 5.2
 FreeBSD 9
 FreeBSD 8
 Debian/kFreeBSD (also FBSD 8 kernel I think)
 DragonflyBSD
 NetBSD
 Solaris 10
 Solaris 11
 OpenIndiana
 FreeDOS

I think everything is working except a few problems with the ACPI tables
that OVMF produces. OpenBSD crashes in its AML interpreter unless I
revert OVMF commit r14403.

FreeBSD 9 crashes when assigning PCI interrupts:

pcib0: allocated type 3 (0x8200-0x8201) for rid 10 of pci0:0:3:0
map[14]: type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xc000, size  6, enabled
pcib0: allocated type 4 (0xc000-0xc03f) for rid 14 of pci0:0:3:0
pcib0: matched entry for 0.3.INTA (src \_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.LNKC:0)

... and then it just sits there. If I boot with a normal SeaBIOS, it
looks like this:

pcib0: allocated type 3 (0xfeba-0xfebb) for rid 10 of pci0:0:3:0
map[14]: type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xc000, size  6, enabled
pcib0: allocated type 4 (0xc000-0xc03f) for rid 14 of pci0:0:3:0
pcib0: matched entry for 0.3.INTA (src \_SB_.LNKC:0)
pcib0: slot 3 INTA routed to irq 11 via \_SB_.LNKC
isab0:  at device 1.0 on pci0
isa0:  on isab0

... and continues happily.

FreeBSD 8 (and Debian/kFreeBSD) seem to work but keep complaining of a
storm of IRQ9, which is the ACPI interrupt.

At this point, I'm fairly much prepared to declare that all of those are
Not My Faultâ„¢ and that the CSM is basically working.

I'm probably going to look at NV variable storage for OVMF next, using
qemu's fw_cfg (which *is* writeable) directly instead of the evil thing
it does now with storing a file on the EFI partition. And also fix up
the device detection on the OVMF side, and fix the fact that OVMF won't
even *ask* the CSM to boot from a virtio or SCSI disk if they exist.

Indeed. Turns out the EFI side was disabling interrupts after we'd set
stuff up. By saving the PIC masks on the way back to EFI, then restoring
them at each entry back into SeaBIOS code, I can make things work a lot
better.

Thanks.

It does since Wenchao Xia's recent improvements (commit 84c44613).  For
an example how to use them, check out his "hmp: add function
hmp_info_snapshots()" (on list, not yet committed).

Hi all,

The config info is included in qemu-options.def, current
help() defines QEMU_OPTIONS_GENERATE_HELP, and includes
qemu-options-wrapper.h,  DEF macro will output the help 
message of options to the stdio.

I tried to add two branches in qemu-options-wrapper.h, which
are used to generate two string arraies (one for option name,
one for help message)

Thy help message is too long, it's failed to output all message to
hmp monitor, always got a segfault, the max limitation maybe reached.
It's more clear to only output help message of one option,

eg: {"execute": "query-config", "arguments" : {"name": "boot"}}

{"return": {"config": "-boot [order=drives][,once=drives][,menu=on|off]\n
  
[,splash=sp_name][,splash-time=sp_time][,reboot-timeout=rb_time][,strict=on|off]\n
  'drives': floppy (a), hard disk (c), CD-ROM (d), network (n)\n
  'sp_name': the file's name that would be passed to bios as logo picture, if 
menu=on\n
  'sp_time': the period that splash picture last if menu=on, unit is ms\n
  'rb_timeout': the timeout before guest reboot when boot failed, unit is 
ms\n"}}

But info command of hmp doesn't support parameter
  (eg: (hmp) info config boot)


Q1) Is my patch ok for resolve the issue in last email (libvirt can check
the help message of each option)?

Q2) Can we only added a command for qmp monitor?

Q3) Is it ok to output all help message for hmp (info config)?

Q4) query-config or query-config-schema ?
