[Patch 0/12] Pciinit redesign and 64bit PCI support
by Alexey Korolev 12 May '12

12 May '12

This patch series redesigns and adds new features to pciinit.c code. [Patches 1-4] There are no more arrays of bases and counts in new implementation. The new implementation is based on dynamic allocation of pci_region_entry structures which are grouped into lists. Each pci_region_entry structure could be a PCI bar or a downstream PCI region (bridge). Each entry has a set of attributes: type (IO, MEM,PREFMEM), is64bit, size. [Patch 5] Bridge regions are no longer rounded up to the next highest size - instead track alignment explicitly. This should improve the memory layout for bridge regions. Also, unused bridge regions will no longer be allocated any space. [Patch 6] Patch takes into account PCI bar and ROM regions of PCI bridges [Patches 7-12] Make pciinit.c 64bit aware. Support discovery and configuration of 64bit bars, with non-zero upper32 bits. Code allocates the 64bit PCI bars in high address range if they don't fir in 32bit range.

Just as an update - it's not clear to me what this patch does, and it seems like Michael had some concerns. Also, it doesn't seem right to hardcode the generation of that many devices (248) in the AML code. So, unless there are further comments I'm going to hold off on this patch. -Kevin

There are four of them 0x400/0x401 used to print panic message on stderr and exit qemu process, now they do nothing but qemu still registers them. 0x402/0x403 print character to stderr if qemu is compiled with DEBUG_BIOS, but ports are registered even if DEBUG_BIOS is not defined. hotplug/unplug uses addresses 0xae00 and above. > And, 0xb000 would be the recommended PM base address? > Yes. QEMU splits PM and GPE address spaces though. GPE starts at 0xafe0 and is hardcoded. I do not see the way to move it to PMBA + offset and stay backwards compatible (at least not without adding new fw_cfg value, but what would be the advantage). > > It would be better for OVMF to treat QEMU like separate platform, that > > behave almost, but not exactly like, real HW. > > Yes, it does seem like that will be required here. > Yes, since we do want to support functionality that does not exist in PIIX4 spec. -- Gleb.

QEMU does not really implement PIIX4 though. It implements PIIX3 + PM from PIIX4 (but with a functionality that is not present in original spec like pci/cpu hotplug) + other differences that firmware had to take into account. For instance event if QEMU will implement PMBA, OVMF would not be able to configure it to the value 0x400 since QEMU hardcodes another PV device there. > Regarding a solution, such as communicating the address in fw_cfg, > that could work.

We can implement PMBA and start using address there if FW writes into it, but, as I noted before, OVMF will have to be changed anyways since 0x400 address is already occupied and pci/cpu/memory hotplug/unplug functionality uses additional IO space not documented by PIIX4 spec. It would be better for OVMF to treat QEMU like separate platform, that behave almost, but not exactly like, real HW. -- Gleb.

It appears to me so: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653382#c22 > We set PBMA to 0x400 in OvmfPkg/Library/AcpiTimerLib/AcpiTimerLib.c, > so isn't 0x40c correct? Considering OVMF in isolation, I presume it's self-consistent. However, is it necessary (a) to group these ACPI registers closely together, (b) to base the "group" at 0x400? >From "5.2.9 Fixed ACPI Description Table (FADT)" in the ACPI spec (v5.0) it would appear OVMF can freely choose where to put GPE0_BLK, in both senses (ie. port address considered alone, and also in relation to the other ACPI registers). Considering SeaBIOS again (build_fadt()): - PORT_ACPI_PM_BASE is 0xb000, - PM1a_EVT_BLK, PM1a_CNT_BLK and PM_TMR_BLK are located consecutively from this base, - but GPE0_BLK is placed at 0xafe0 (build_fadt() --> pci_init_device(fadt_init_tbl) --> piix4_fadt_init()) But I'm likely missing something ^W everything...
