POST Memory Manager emulation in SeaBIOS
by Darmawan Salihun 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi guys, I'm currently debugging a generic PCI Option ROM (seen as legacy ROM since there is no PnP header). This is the setup: a. The Option ROM "merged" to coreboot binary as CBFS component (./cbfstool <option-rom-path> genroms/option-rom.rom raw) b. SeaBIOS would recognize the Option ROM and execute it. The execution seems to take place after most PnP option ROM. c. Coreboot+Seabios is running inside qemu. d. The entire process (qemu with coreboot as "BIOS") is debugged remotely using IDA Pro. The connection is through GDB remote debugging "plugin" in IDA Pro. Therefore, from Qemu persepective, its being debugged remotely by GDB. Now, my question: In this particular option ROM, a call to POST Memory Manager (PMM) is made to allocate 64KB of memory. What "reaction" SeaBIOS would carry-out to such request? I've trying to debug this call but nothing seems to happen as I see it from inside IDA Pro. Any clues? or where should I peek in the source code? TIA, Darmawan -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -= Human knowledge belongs to the world =-

And as Avi said KVM_NMI with irqchip_in_kernel is not meaningful, so KVM_NMI is not used anymore when KVM_SET_LINT1 & irqchip_in_kernel, it is dead. Now, we redefine KVM_NMI with more proper meaning, when irqchip_in_kernel, it is kernel/kvm's responsibility to simulate the NMI-injection and set LINT1. When !irqchip_in_kernel, it is userspace's responsibility. It results more real simulation and results simpler code, and it don't need to add new ioctl interface, and it can make use of existing KVM_NMI. Thanks, Lai

[ANNOUNCE] SeaBIOS 1.6.3
by Kevin O'Connor 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

The 1.6.3 version of SeaBIOS is now ready. For more information on the release, please see: http://seabios.org/Releases New in this release: * Initial support for Xen * PCI init (on emulators) uses a two-phase initialization * Fixes for AHCI so it can work on real hardware. AHCI is now enabled by default. * Bootsplash support for BMP files * Several configuration options can now be configured at runtime via CBFS files (eg, "etc/boot-menu-wait") * PCI device scan is cached during POST phase * Several bug fixes For information on obtaining SeaBIOS, please see: http://seabios.org/Download -Kevin

[PATCHv3 0/4] acpi: DSDT/SSDT runtime patching
by Michael S. Tsirkin 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Here's an updated revision of acpi runtime patching patchset. As promised, this revision replaces the hardcoded offsets in the ssdt_proc table with ones generated dynamically from the mixed asl/aml listing. Changes in v3: - change ssdt generation code to get rid of hardcoded offsets - enhancements to acpi_extract: add more extract methods ACPI_EXTRACT_NAME_WORD_CONST - extract a Word Const object from Name() ACPI_EXTRACT_NAME_BYTE_CONST - extract a Byte Const object from Name() ACPI_EXTRACT_PROCESSOR_START - start of Processor() block ACPI_EXTRACT_PROCESSOR_STRING - extract a NameString from Processor() ACPI_EXTRACT_PROCESSOR_END - offset at last byte of Processor() + 1 Changes in v2: - tools rewritten in python - Original ASL retains _EJ0 methods, BIOS patches that to EJ0_ - generic ACP_EXTRACT infrastructure that can match Method and Name Operators - instead of matching specific method name, insert tags in original DSL source and match that to AML ----- Here's a bug: guest thinks it can eject VGA device and ISA bridge.

Virtio block device 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03) This is wrong because slots 1 and 2 are marked as not hotpluggable in qemu. The reason is that our acpi tables declare both _RMV with value 0, and _EJ0 method for these slots. What happens in this case is undocumented by ACPI spec, so linux ignores _RMV, and windows seems to ignore _EJ0. The correct way to suppress hotplug is not to have _EJ0, so this is what this patch does: it probes PIIX and modifies DSDT to match.

[PATCH 0/6] PCI init code refactoring
by Kevin O'Connor 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

Some cleanups to the pciinit.c code. These are some things I noticed while tracking down the recent bug reports caused by calling ALIGN_DOWN with a zero alignment. The fix to that bug was small enough to commit immediately. However, I think it would be worthwhile to also commit the cleanups I found. Given this is just a cleanup, I don't intend to commit until after v1.6.3 is tagged. -Kevin Kevin O'Connor (6): Use standard formatting for PCI info during PCI init pass. Separate pciinit.c into clearly delineated sections. Simplify pci_bios_init_root_regions(). Use pci->header_type in pci_bar() to avoid unnecessary pci_config_readb. Introduce PCI child device iterators and use in pciinit.c. Simplify pci_slot_get_irq(). src/pci.c | 2 + src/pci.h | 12 ++ src/pciinit.c | 337 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ 3 files changed, 173 insertions(+), 178 deletions(-) -- 1.7.6.2
