[PATCH 1/2] bootmenu: add support for more than 9 entries
by Gerd Hoffmann
In case more than 9 entries are found in the boot menu
switch into two digit mode, so entries 10 and above can
actually be selected.

[PATCH] advanced_bootmenu: up to 35 entries (2 pages if >18), numpad support (console)
by Mike Banon
Add support for up to 35 boot menu entries (2 pages if >18). To solve the
">10" problem currently experienced by SeaBIOS users (there are no 11, 12, etc.
keys on a keyboard - so impossible to choose the last menu entries if you got
>10 entries because of multiple hard drives / secondary payloads / floppies)
- the boot menu has been extended to the letter keys. NOTE: TPM menu has been
moved from T to M letter: it is at the end of keyboard's 3rd row of letters and
"Trusted" is adjective while "Module" is a noun; alternatively could press '-'.
Also, add support for a numpad. Small USB numpad could be really convenient for
choosing the boot entries at coreboot boards used as (maybe headless) servers.
'/' char on numpad could be used to open the boot menu or to exit it. If there
are >10 boot menu entries - the numpad console interface will be enabled: press
one or two digit keys and then ENTER to confirm your choice, or remove a digit
by pressing the '.Del' key. Also you could call TPM with '-' key at any moment,
or boot with a single key press of your fullsize keyboard.

(patch body is after the testing instructions below)
This "advanced_bootmenu" patch is much more useful when used together
with my "multiple_floppies" patch:
[SeaBIOS] [PATCH v2] ramdisk: search for all available floppy images
instead of one
https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/seabios/2018-December/012670.html
Sadly I haven't done the suggestions by Kevin (I have so many unfinished tasks)
so the "multiple_floppies" patch is also not merged yet. But you could install
both patches to your coreboot by executing this script while at ./coreboot dir:
https://pastebin.com/raw/hv9sSuMU
And here is a coreboot image for QEMU with these two patches applied and my
collection of wonderful and useful floppies added to popular the entries list:
https://github.com/mikebdp2/floparchive/blob/master/coreboot.rom?raw=true
Descriptions of the most prominent floppies could be found here:
http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking#Useful_floppies
Run this coreboot.rom by executing this QEMU command: (some floppies are 64-bit)
qemu-system-x86_64 -L . -m 768 -localtime -vga vmware -net nic,model=rtl8139 \
-net user -soundhw ac97 -bios ./coreboot.rom -boot menu=on -serial stdio

CFP: KVM Forum 2019
by Paolo Bonzini
================================================================
KVM Forum 2019: Call For Participation
October 30-November 1, 2019 - Lyon Convention Center - Lyon, France
(All submissions must be received before June 15, 2019 at 23:59 PST)
=================================================================
KVM Forum is an annual event that presents a rare opportunity
for developers and users to meet, discuss the state of Linux
virtualization technology, and plan for the challenges ahead.
We invite you to lead part of the discussion by submitting a speaking
proposal for KVM Forum 2019.
At this highly technical conference, developers driving innovation
in the KVM virtualization stack (Linux, KVM, QEMU, libvirt) can
meet users who depend on KVM as part of their offerings, or to
power their data centers and clouds.
KVM Forum will include sessions on the state of the KVM
virtualization stack, planning for the future, and many
opportunities for attendees to collaborate. As we celebrate ten years
of KVM development in the Linux kernel, KVM continues to be a
critical part of the FOSS cloud infrastructure.
This year, KVM Forum is joining Open Source Summit in Lyon,
France. Selected talks from KVM Forum will be presented on
Wednesday October 30 to the full audience of the Open Source Summit.
Also, attendees of KVM Forum will have access to all of the talks from
Open Source Summit on Wednesday.
https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum-2019/program/call-for...
Suggested topics:
* Scaling, latency optimizations, performance tuning, real-time guests
* Hardening and security
* New features
* Testing
KVM and the Linux kernel:
* Nested virtualization
* Resource management (CPU, I/O, memory) and scheduling
* VFIO: IOMMU, SR-IOV, virtual GPU, etc.
* Networking: Open vSwitch, XDP, etc.
* virtio and vhost
* Architecture ports and new processor features
QEMU:
* Management interfaces: QOM and QMP
* New devices, new boards, new architectures
* Graphics, desktop virtualization and virtual GPU
* New storage features
* High availability, live migration and fault tolerance
* Emulation and TCG
* Firmware: ACPI, UEFI, coreboot, U-Boot, etc.
Management and infrastructure
* Managing KVM: Libvirt, OpenStack, oVirt, etc.
* Storage: Ceph, Gluster, SPDK, etc.r
* Network Function Virtualization: DPDK, OPNFV, OVN, etc.
* Provisioning
========================
SUBMITTING YOUR PROPOSAL
========================
Abstracts due: June 15, 2019
Please submit a short abstract (~150 words) describing your presentation
proposal. Slots vary in length up to 45 minutes.
Submit your proposal here:
https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum-2019/program/call-for...
Please only use the categories "presentation" and "panel discussion"
You will receive a notification whether or not your presentation proposal
was accepted by August 12, 2019.
Speakers will receive a complimentary pass for the event. In case
your submission has multiple presenters, only the primary speaker for a
proposal will receive a complimentary event pass. For panel discussions, all
panelists will receive a complimentary event pass.
TECHNICAL TALKS
A good technical talk should not just report on what has happened over
the last year; it should present a concrete problem and how it impacts
the user and/or developer community. Whenever applicable, focus on
work that needs to be done, difficulties that haven't yet been solved,
and on decisions that other developers should be aware of. Summarizing
recent developments is okay but it should not be more than a small
portion of the overall talk.
END-USER TALKS
One of the big challenges as developers is to know what, where and how
people actually use our software. We will reserve a few slots for end
users talking about their deployment challenges and achievements.
If you are using KVM in production you are encouraged submit a speaking
proposal. Simply mark it as an end-user talk. As an end user, this is a
unique opportunity to get your input to developers.
HANDS-ON / BOF SESSIONS
We will reserve some time for people to get together and discuss
strategic decisions as well as other topics that are best solved within
smaller groups.
These sessions will be announced during the event. If you are interested
in organizing such a session, please add it to the list at
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM_Forum_2019_BOF
Let people you think who might be interested know about your BOF, and
encourage them to add their names to the wiki page as well. Please add
your ideas to the list before KVM Forum starts.
PANEL DISCUSSIONS
If you are proposing a panel discussion, please make sure that you list
all of your potential panelists in your the abstract. We will request full
biographies if a panel is accepted.

HOTEL / TRAVEL
==============
This year's event will take place at the Lyon Conference Center.
For information on hotels close to the conference, please visit

Possible security issue or intended functionality?
by k4m1
Hi,
I noticed, that both bootloader - and kernel code are able to make BIOS ROM section writable again.
This allows hostile code to make modifications to ROM contents, and then run the modified code.
This may allow malicious code to gain privilege escalation from ring0 to ring -2 if I have not
misunderstood this.
Care to verify wheter this is an issue or not?
