[QEMU] [PATCH v5 0/8] Add Qemu to SeaBIOS LCHS interface

[Sam Eiderman]

v1:

Non-standard logical geometries break under QEMU.

A virtual disk which contains an operating system which depends on
logical geometries (consistent values being reported from BIOS INT13
AH=08) will most likely break under QEMU/SeaBIOS if it has non-standard
logical geometries - for example 56 SPT (sectors per track).
No matter what QEMU will guess - SeaBIOS, for large enough disks - will
use LBA translation, which will report 63 SPT instead.

In addition we can not enforce SeaBIOS to rely on phyiscal geometries at
all. A virtio-blk-pci virtual disk with 255 phyiscal heads can not
report more than 16 physical heads when moved to an IDE controller, the
ATA spec allows a maximum of 16 heads - this is an artifact of
virtualization.

By supplying the logical geometies directly we are able to support such
"exotic" disks.

We will use fw_cfg to do just that.

v2:

Fix missing parenthesis check in
    "hd-geo-test: Add tests for lchs override"

v3:

* Rename fw_cfg key to "bios-geometry".
* Remove "extendible" interface.
* Add cpu_to_le32 fix as Laszlo suggested or big endian hosts
* Fix last qtest commit - automatic docker tester for some reason does not have qemu-img set

v4:

* Change fw_cfg interface from mixed textual/binary to textual only

v5:

* Fix line > 80 chars in tests/hd-geo-test.c

[QEMU] [PATCH v5 2/8] block: Support providing LCHS from user

[Sam Eiderman]

Add logical geometry variables to BlockConf.

A user can now supply "lcyls", "lheads" & "lsecs" for any HD device
that supports CHS ("cyls", "heads", "secs").

These devices include:
    * ide-hd
    * scsi-hd
    * virtio-blk-pci

In future commits we will use the provided LCHS and pass it to the BIOS
through fw_cfg to be supplied using INT13 routines.

It doesn’t look like any caller actually passes a NULL @dev, so why not
drop the @suffix part?

(Furthermore, it’d be impossible to remove an FWLCHSEntry with .dev ==
NULL.)

Just copied it from the bootindex implementation.
I think the suffix part there was implemented specifically for fdc since
the same device can have two suffixes (A and B).
This is not relavant here, but I think we still need the suffix to
create the device name for seabios to find.

Relevant devices are:
    * ide-hd (and ide-cd, ide-drive)
    * scsi-hd (and scsi-cd, scsi-disk, scsi-block)
    * virtio-blk-pci

We do not call del_boot_device_lchs() for ide-* since we don't need to -
IDE block devices do not support unplugging.

Only scsi-hd has the lchs properties, though, so what’s the purpose of
defining the unrealize function for all other classes?

The only purpose is to already have them mapped to the correct existing
function, in case it will be used later on.
I can resubmit without the unrealize for the other classes, WDYT?

[QEMU] [PATCH v5 6/8] bootdevice: Refactor get_boot_devices_list

[Sam Eiderman]

Move device name construction to a separate function.

We will reuse this function in the following commit to pass logical CHS
parameters through fw_cfg much like we currently pass bootindex.

[QEMU] [PATCH v5 7/8] bootdevice: FW_CFG interface for LCHS values

[Sam Eiderman]

Using fw_cfg, supply logical CHS values directly from QEMU to the BIOS.

Non-standard logical geometries break under QEMU.

A virtual disk which contains an operating system which depends on
logical geometries (consistent values being reported from BIOS INT13
AH=08) will most likely break under QEMU/SeaBIOS if it has non-standard
logical geometries - for example 56 SPT (sectors per track).
No matter what QEMU will report - SeaBIOS, for large enough disks - will
use LBA translation, which will report 63 SPT instead.

In addition we cannot force SeaBIOS to rely on physical geometries at
all. A virtio-blk-pci virtual disk with 255 phyiscal heads cannot
report more than 16 physical heads when moved to an IDE controller,
since the ATA spec allows a maximum of 16 heads - this is an artifact of
virtualization.

By supplying the logical geometries directly we are able to support such
"exotic" disks.

We serialize this information in a similar way to the "bootorder"
interface.
The new fw_cfg entry is "bios-geometry".

[QEMU] [PATCH v5 8/8] hd-geo-test: Add tests for lchs override

[Sam Eiderman]

Add QTest tests to check the logical geometry override option.

The tests in hd-geo-test are out of date - they only test IDE and do not
test interesting MBRs.

I added a few helper functions which will make adding more tests easier.

QTest's fw_cfg helper functions support only legacy fw_cfg, so I had to
read the new fw_cfg layout on my own.

Creating qcow2 disks with specific size and MBR layout is currently
unused - we only use a default empty MBR.

Through which tree is this supposed to go? I feel this is more firmware

Well, this patch introduces 3 command line parameters (“lcyls”, “lheads”, “lsecs”)
to “scsi-hd” “ide-hd” and “virtio-pci-blk” so this somehow has something to do with
block.

This patch also adds fw_cfg interface to send these parameters to SeaBIOS.

"scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/nvram/fw_cfg.c” gives

"Philippe Mathieu-Daudé"  (supporter:Firmware configur...)
Laszlo Ersek  (reviewer:Firmware configur...)
Gerd Hoffmann  (reviewer:Firmware configur…)

And this was already Reviewed-by Gerd.

How should I proceed?

We're in freeze right now anyway, so I would think that Gerd and/or
Kevin can work out who ought to stage this for a PR when the tree opens
again.

I think the sole patch in the series that modifies "hw/nvram/fw_cfg.c" is

[Qemu-devel] [QEMU] [PATCH v5 7/8] bootdevice: FW_CFG interface for LCHS values
  http://mid.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]...

and neither Phil nor myself seem to be CC'd on it (I've found the message in my list folder only).

Regarding fw_cfg, I only review Phil's fw_cfg patches (so that whenever he posts patches, he can count on my review); other than that, I generally skip fw_cfg patches. And, I totally don't have a tree for collecting such patches.

Now, while Phil does:

T: git https://github.com/philmd/qemu.git fw_cfg-next

I still don't think that tree would be the best for queueing this series, given the diffstat:

bootdevice.c             | 148 +++++++++---
 hw/block/virtio-blk.c    |   6 +

Just my two cents.

As this touches alot of block code I've expected it to go via block
tree, therefore I've added my reviewed-by to indicate the fw_cfg /
seabios side of things is fine from my point of view.  seabios patches
are reviewed and ready.

Merging via Phil's fw_cfg tree would make sense too, but Phil probably
wants an ack from the block layer guys in that case.

cheers,
  Gerd
