[PATCH] Support multiple USB HID keyboards/mice
by Daniel Khodabakhsh 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

This change allows the use of multiple USB HID keyboards and mice. It's similar to the change by Stef van Os from this thread: https://mail.coreboot.org/hyperkitty/list/seabios@seabios.org/thread/O6Y4LU… however this new change uses the linked list approach instead of a fixed array. Tested on QEMU and an Asus KGPE-D16 with 2 keyboards and one mice

BUG REPORT: PCI-e address window overlaps with AMD_HT_START
by Li, Yunxiang (Teddy) 02 Jan '25

02 Jan '25

[Public] Hi all, I've ran into an issue where the 64 bit address window allocated for one of the PCI-e host devices overlaps with a BIOS reserved range of fd00000000-ffffffffff, making that device unusable. 4000000000-7bfffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 4000000000-bfffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:0c 4000000000-7fffffffff : 0000:0c:00.0 8000000000-80001fffff : 0000:0c:00.0 c000000000-13fffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:0b c000000000-ffffffffff : 0000:0b:00.0 fd00000000-ffffffffff : Reserved 10000000000-100001fffff : 0000:0b:00.0 8000000000-7ffffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 8000000000-ffffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:0c 8000000000-bfffffffff : 0000:0c:00.0 c000000000-c0001fffff : 0000:0c:00.0 fd00000000-ffffffffff : Reserved 10000000000-17fffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:0b 10000000000-13fffffffff : 0000:0b:00.0 14000000000-140001fffff : 0000:0b:00.0 I found that increasing the system ram of the VM to ~256G changes the address window and avoids the issue, and with some digging I think I found the root cause To begin, QEMU set this address range to be reserved here, and this is passed to Seabios via "etc/e820". https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/hw/i386/pc.c#L865 Separately QEMU pass to Seabios "etc/reserved-memory-end" here which is derived from machine->device_memory https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/hw/i386/pc.c#L1007 In Seabios, "etc/e820" is consumed here, which sets RamSizeOver4G only using the E820_RAM entries, ignoring any E820_RESERVED entries. https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/seabios/-/blob/master/src/fw/paravirt.c#L782 Later "etc/reserved-memory-end" and RamSizeOver4G is used to determine the start of the PCI-e address window. https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/seabios/-/blob/master/src/fw/pciinit.c#L1138 I think either QEMU should set etc/reserved-memory-end to be after both physical memory and the reserved ranges, or Seabios need to check both etc/820 and etc/reserved-memory-end. But I'm not sure which would be the correct move and indeed how to patch them. Regards, Yunxiang Li (Teddy)

[PATCH] pciinit: use the 32-bit MMIO address space preferred
by Hulang 02 Jan '25

02 Jan '25

Currently, pci region on busses[0] may be migrate to 64-bit mmio space. this will cause a mistake to read/write device config space example: A modern virtio device map to 64-bit mmio space will set mode to VP_ACCESS_PCICFG, But the real device cap is VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_COMMON_CFG, we can not access the cap rightly. If this is a virtio blk/scsi device as system disk, VM will not be booted on the device. A simple solution is make device use the 32-bit address space as much as possible. This patch changes the placement of the PCI bars.

[PATCH] fw/mptable: fix smp core initialization per cpu package
by Anthony Iliopoulos 26 Dec '24

26 Dec '24

Currently the mptable setup code only considers one core per cpu package for populating the cpu tables. The detection logic goes back to machines where the cpuid would signify the presence of multiple logical cores (HT) and presumably this change was made to prevent creating vcpus for each hyperthread. In practice this restriction is not required any longer especially since current processors feature many physical cores per socket, and it is preventing QEMU guests that don't enable ACPI from seeing more than one cores, unless those cores are explicitly placed across multiple sockets (one core per socket, specifically). During v6.2 QEMU changed the default cpu topology arrangement preference from arranging multiple cores spreaded across multiple sockets to placing them within the same socket [1]. In practice this means that without specifing explicitly the cpu topology and assuming QEMU defaults, a guest without ACPI will not be able to instantiate more than one core. Fix this by lifting the restriction of only populating the mptable with the first logical processor per package. [1] commit 4a0af2930a4e ("machine: Prefer cores over sockets in smp parsing since 6.2") Fixes: c0ad0e8febe5 ("Only add the first logical CPU in each physical CPU to the MPS tables.")

[PATCH] Add force-boot-menu runtime configuration
by Daniel Khodabakhsh 25 Dec '24

25 Dec '24

This change adds a 'force-boot-menu' runtime configuration such that if a non-zero value is set and 'show-boot-menu' is also non-zero, SeaBIOS will show the boot menu without a timeout. This is similar to GRUB having a timeout set to '-1' and originally I wanted to implement it that way but the function to retrieve an integer retrieves an unsigned one so I thought this "boolean" configuration is a good way to implement it. Tested on ASUS KGPE-D16.
