Do you have any numbers for this? An improved compression ratio and improved speed would be nice indeed, but how does the size of the decompression code change? If the decompression code grows more than the size reduction from better compression, it would be a net loss. A significantly reduced decompression speed would also be a problem. Decompression speed would have to be measured both for stream decompression (i.e. the decompressor gets the compressed data in single-byte or multibyte chunks) as well as full-size decompression (i.e. the decompressor can access all compressed data at once). We also have to make sure that stream decompression still works after the change. > Do you think it should be done, or you are OK with using such an > outdated version? A size benefit for the resulting image is a good reason to switch. Regards, Carl-Daniel

[PATCH v3 0/3] pci: resource reserve capability found
by Jing Liu 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

This patch serial is about QEMU resource reserve capability finding in firmware. Firstly, this fixes a logic bug. When the capability is truncated, return zero instead of the truncated offset. Secondly, this modified the debug messages when the capability is not found and when the vendor ID or device Id doesn't match REDHAT special ones. Last, this enables the firmware recongizing the REDHAT PCI BRIDGE device ID, and changes the debug level to 3 when it is non-qemu bridge. Change Log: v2 -> v1 * Add two patches for fixing small bugs v3 -> v2 * Change the debug level Jing Liu (3): pci: fix the return value for truncated capability pci: clean up the debug message for pci capability found pci: recognize RH PCI legacy bridge resource reservation capability src/fw/pciinit.c | 45 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- src/hw/pci_ids.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1

Backport request for 8c3f57ea12
by Wei Liu 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hello I notice 1.11.2 was only released a few weeks ago so it is probably too early for another release, but can maintainers at least consider backporting 8c3f57ea12 to 1.11-stable branch? Thanks, Wei.

Unfortunately, you wrote to the wrong list. SeaBIOS is the payload, and the messages you quoted are from coreboot. Please contact the coreboot mailing list. I advise, to test the latest version 4.8 before contacting the coreboot project though. Kind regards, Paul PS: In the future, always attach the whole log.

But I'm not sure if four domains are > enough for those who want too many devices? (Adding Michael) Since we will not use all 256 buses of an extra PCI domain, I think this space will allow us to support more PCI domains. How will the flow look like ? 1. QEMU passes to SeaBIOS information of how many extra PCI domains needs, and how many buses per domain. How it will pass this info? A vendor specific capability, some PCI registers or modifying extra-pci-roots fw_cfg file? 2. SeaBIOS assigns the address for each PCI Domain and returns the information to QEMU. How it will do that? Some pxb-pcie registers? Or do we model the MMCFG like a PCI BAR? 3. Once QEMU gets the MMCFG addresses, it can answer to mmio configuration cycles. 4. SeaBIOS queries all PCI domains devices, computes and assigns IO/MEM resources (for PCI domains > 0 it will use MMCFG to configure the PCI devices) 5. QEMU uses the IO/MEM information to create the CRS for each extra PCI host bridge. 6. SeaBIOS gets the ACPI tables from QEMU and passes them to the guest OS. Thanks, Marcel >> cheers, >> Gerd >>

Still vTPM 2.0 for win 10 problem， I downloaded the latest qemu source from git, the version is V3.0.50. I think this is the latest code of qemu upstream.

[RFC v2 0/3] Support multiple pci domains in pci_device
by Zihan Yang 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Currently seabios assumes there is only one pci domain(0), and almost everything operates on pci domain 0 by default. This patch aims to add multiple pci domain support for pci_device, while reserve the original API for compatibility. The reason to get seabios involved is that the pxb-pcie host bus created in QEMU is now in a different PCI domain, and its bus number would start from 0 instead of bus_nr. Actually bus_nr should not be used when in another non-zero domain. However, QEMU only binds port 0xcf8 and 0xcfc to bus pcie.0. To avoid bus confliction, we should use other port pairs for busses under new domains. Current issues: * when trying to read config space of pcie_pci_bridge, it actually reads out the result of mch. I'm working on this weird behavior.
