Assuming a fixed layout at startup, I wonder if there is another clever way to model this... For CPU hotplug Anthony had suggested to have a fixed set of link<Socket> properties that get set to a CPU socket as needed. Might a similar strategy work for memory, i.e. a startup-configured amount of link<DIMM>s on /machine/dimm[n] that point to a QOM DIMM object or NULL if unpopulated? Hot(un)plug would then simply work via QMP qom-set command.

[Qemu PATCH] add a boot option to do strict boot
by Amos Kong 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Current seabios will try to boot from selected devices first, if they are all failed, seabios will also try to boot from un-selected devices. We need to make it configurable. I already posted a seabios patch to add a new device type to halt booting. Qemu can add "HALT" at the end of bootindex string, then seabios will halt booting after trying to boot from selected devices. This option only effects when boot priority is changed by bootindex options, the old style(-boot order=..) will still try to boot from un-selected devices.

[PATCH 00/13] SeaBIOS as Compatibility Support Module for UEFI/OVMF
by David Woodhouse 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

This patch series adds support for using SeaBIOS as a Compatibility Support Module (CSM) to provide "Legacy" BIOS services under UEFI/OVMF. With a version of OVMF suitably patched to stop it from marking our stack in the 0xE0000 segment as read-only (see README.CSM), it has been tested with various Linux systems, Windows 7, OpenBSD 5.2, FreeBSD 8/9, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD, Solaris 10/11. It also fixes issues with Windows 2008r2 which rather stupidly invokes INT 10h for video setup even when booted in EFI mode! I haven't quite finished going through the corporate bureaucracy for releasing this, so it's for review only.

I've done that and pushed it to the git tree. Although the latest version actually works fine anyway, as long as OVMF has the simple one-line to avoid locking the range. The extra fields in the table don't bother it at all since the table has a TableLength field and the checksum is calculated over that. So they're just ignored. -- dwmw2

SeaBIOS CSM status
by David Woodhouse 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

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 (0x82000000-0x8201ffff) 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 (0xfeba0000-0xfebbffff) 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: <PCI-ISA bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0 isa0: <ISA bus> 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 Fault™ 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. -- dwmw2

Problems booting FreeBSD9 under SeaBIOS as CSM
by David Woodhouse 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

I'm probably going to have to chase this one down for myself, but before I do I figured I'd ask if anyone's seen anything similar before, and can give me some pointers... When booting FreeBSD 9 under real SeaBIOS, it all works fine. When SeaBIOS is invoked for a 'legacy' boot under EFI, the FreeBSD bootloader gets as far as displaying its main screen with the FreeBSD banner and the ASCII-art dæmon and the options, but then seems to *stop* before displaying the 'Autoboot in 9 seconds. Press [Space] to pause' message.
