Why, by commenting and uncommenting "smbios_legacy_mode = true;" in the *compat_2_0() functions :) I realized I was being silly after sending out the v7 series, and added something more or less similar to what you wrote, and was saving it for v8. I squashed it on top of the compat functions, see patch 2/7. > I'll go wait for a few days for additional feedback, then [...] > send out a pull request. Sounds like a plan! BTW, would it make sense to have Kevin apply this: http://www.seabios.org/pipermail/seabios/2014-April/007856.html to SeaBIOS and then pull a new blob from there around the same time (or before ?) this patch set is applied to QEMU ?

[QEMU v7 PATCH 0/7] SMBIOS: build full tables in QEMU
by Gabriel L. Somlo 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

New in version 7 of the patch set: - patch set now down to only 7 patches; - machine versions 2.0 and older currently unaffected by this patch set, will continue using field overrides as before - patches 1..6 are very small and simple, and set the stage for patch #7 - patch 7 introduces the new aggregate-table functionality; it consists mostly of insertions, and should therefore be relatively easy to follow. - "-smbios file=<foo>" functionality happens before we know whether we're in legacy or new/aggregate-table mode, so we insert the file blob(s) into both the legacy and the aggregate tables, and keep the one we need once we know which one that is. For those interested, the code is also structured for easy subsequent removal of the legacy mode, if/when that becomes applicable ;) Thanks again for any feedback and comments (or for just applying the patch) !

[QEMU v6 PATCH 00/17] SMBIOS: build full tables in QEMU
by Gabriel L. Somlo 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

New in version 6 of the patch set: - down to 17 patches (squashed adding spec v2.4 fields in together with adding v2.8 fields further down). - switching to monolithic aggregate tables plus entry point in patch 11/17, right after accomplishing full SeaBIOS compatibility (in 10/17). - Type 0 (bios info) structure continues to be optional. The BIOS is expected to supply its own Type 0 structure unless we force one to be provided via the command line.

[PATCH] If an int 1587 call is made from an option rom, stay in bigreal mode.
by Kevin O'Connor 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Modify the int 1587 handler to check if the POST phase is still running. If it is, use bigreal mode segment limits so that the caller remains in bigreal mode when the 1587 handler completes. This helps with SeaVGABIOS' use of "direct" framebuffer accesses (an option rom may attempt to display text during its option rom execution which can cause SeaVGABIOS to make the int 1587 calls).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V6 0/2] hw/pci: reserve IO and mem for pci-2-pci bridges with no devices attached
by Marcel Apfelbaum 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

v5 -> v6: - Minor, fixed a typo in the subject v4 -> v5 - Addressed Michael S. Tsirkin's comments (patch 2/2): - Open-coded pci_config_is_reserved() method. v3 -> v4: - Addressed Kevin O'Connor's comments: - Refactored a for loop in patch 1/2. - Addressed Michael S. Tsirkin's comments (patch 2/2): - Removed not needed method - Test only base registers (dropped limits tests) - Renamed a helper method - Used 0xFF to test if the memory is reserved - Simplified code in pci_bridge_has_region - I did keep the code that restores base's address as I don't want to modify the registers in a 'query' method. (as replied on the mail thread) v2 -> v3: - Addressed Michael S. Tsirkin's comments: - I/O and Prefetchable Memory are optional. Do not allocate ranges if they are not implemented (2/2). - Note that 2/2 patch can be seen as a separate fix. However, it is related to ranges reservation. v1 -> v2: - Thanks Gerd Hoffmann for the review. - Addressed Michael S. Tsirkin's comments: - Limit capabilities query to 256 iterations, to make sure we don't get into an infinite loop with a broken device. If a pci-2-pci bridge supports hot-plug functionality but there are no devices connected to it, reserve IO/mem in order to be able to attach devices later. Do not waste space, use minimum allowed.

On FreeBSD >= 10 you need gcc from ports. Well, as stated on the commit message, this only fixes the linker issue, it still requires gcc. I will certainly look into getting it compiled with clang, but it is not a priority for me right now. Roger.
