os x boot broken by commit 11948748495841bd54721b250d68c7b3cb0475ef

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

Hi,

I'm working on getting OS X working with QEMU/KVM, and just ran into a
bit of entropy. I used to be able to boot using Chameleon, and a
command line like this:

bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -cpu core2duo \ 
  -usb -device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse \
  -bios bios-mac.bin -kernel ./chameleon_2.0_boot
  -device isa-applesmc,osk="..." \
  -M q35 -acpitable file=./seabios/out/src/fw/q35-acpi-dsdt.aml
...

I am patching the DSDT source, hence the -acpitable file=... argument,
to get QEMU and SeaBIOS to use the modified table.

After commit 11948748495841bd54721b250d68c7b3cb0475ef (as of now, the
very last one in the git master), this no longer works. I get the xnu
boot process hanging with "Waiting for DSMOS", and no progress beyond
that.

After a cursory look at the commit, I'm wondering if I'm missing some
new command line argument to quemu by which I can direct it at the
modifed .aml for the DSDT ? It appears to me that I'm unwittingly
using the unpatched version...

I'm using the latest git master of qemu as well.

Any clues you might be able to throw my way much appreciated !

Thanks,
--Gabriel

OK, so it turns out I now have to patch the .dsl files under the qemu
tree (hw/i386/acpi-dsdt-[hpet|isa].dsl), and the "-acpitable file=..."
qemu command line option is deprecated...

I guess I'm allright now, so nevermind... :)

Can you remind us about your DSDT modifications?  It should be possible
to patch the HPET and applesmc bits appropriately from QEMU (or to move
them from the DSDT to an SSDT that is built entirely in QEMU).

It actually isn't impossible that Mac OS X would boot just fine with 1.8...

My current DSDT patch (against QEMU) is enclosed below. The HPET
basically needs "IRQNoFlags() {2, 8}", which causes XP to bluescreen.

So, I've made it conditional on the SMC STA method returning success
(0x0B).

The SMC node's STA method returns 0x0B unconditionally on real
hardware. So I was planning on figuring out what's easier in the
context of the most recent QEMU code base:

1. dynamically generating (during qemu runtime initialization)
     a DSDT entry for SMC with hardcoded 0x0B STA method, whenever
    "--device isa-applesmc" is present on the qemu command line

or

2. writing a static (compile-time) SMC node but with a slightly
    smarter _STA method, which returns 0x0B when "--device isa-applesmc"
    was given on the cmdline, or which returns 0x00 in the absence
    of "--device isa-applesmc".

Either 1. or 2. could be used with HPET -- I can make inclusion of
IRQNoFlags dependent on either the success or on the presence of
SMC._STA() :)

Let me know what you think.

Added qemu-devel, since that is where this stuff belongs now. Everyone
else, sorry for the dupe...

The IRQNoFlags(){2,8} setting makes sense if the general configuration
register of the HPET has bits 0..1=1 (HPET enabled = 1 and HPET legacy
replacement route = 1).

That would be something like

Field(HPTM, DWordAcc, Lock, Preserve) {
         VEND, 32,
         PRD, 32,
         UNUS, 32
         GCNF, 32
     }

...

Method(_CRS, 0) {
        Store(GCNF, Local0)
        If (LEqual(LAnd(Local0, 3), 3)) {   // Legacy replacement route
             ConcatenateResTemplate(RESP, RESI, Local1)
             Return (Local1)
        } else {
             Return (RESP)
        }
    }

If that doesn't work, there are various choices here...

(1) Does Mac OS work if you add a _PRS with IRQNoFlags and
Memory32Fixed, but leave _CRS as it is?

(2) does it work with -no-hpet?

(3) you could also make that dependent on _OSI("Darwin").  It's unlikely
that Linux and/or Windows expose _OSI("Darwin"), and anyway the BSOD is
only there for Windows XP as I understand it.

That would mean that running Windows XP on "Mac OS X hardware" breaks,
though.

Either would work.  See acpi_get_misc_info and patch_ssdt in
hw/i386/acpi-build.c.

I think device-dependent ACPI stuff should become a QOM interface, but
you need not do that.

Without discussing whether this is the right thing to do,
main options to implement this would be:

- write code in ASL, supply entry in ACPI always, patch some
          fields
          to enable/disable it dynamically

see how pvpanic entry is disabled for an example

- write code in ASL append it to ACPI if necessary

see how CPU entries are added depending on number of CPUs for an example

- generate code in AML directly

see acpi based pci hotplug on pci branch in my tree for an example

Which reminds me. We run C preprocessor over the source so there's
no good reason to use 4-byte names anymore really (iasl also has
an integrated preprocessor but that only appeared in 2012, not
sure it's wise to rely on that).

So simply
#define HPET_MEMORY HPTM

and use HPET_MEMORY everywhere.
