The firmware is not enlightened about the ACPI content that comes from
QEMU / fw_cfg. That ACPI content is *blindly* processed by the firmware,
as instructed through the ACPI linker/loader script, in order to install
the ACPI content for the OS. No actual information is consumed by the
firmware from the ACPI payload -- and that's a feature.
The firmware does consume DT:
- If you start QEMU *with* "-no-acpi", then the DT is both consumed by
the firmware (for its own information needs), and passed on to the OS.
- If you start QEMU *without* "-no-acpi" (the default), then the DT is
consumed only by the firmware (for its own information needs), and the
DT is hidden from the OS. The OS gets only the ACPI content
(processed/prepared as described above).
In the firmware, the "ArmVirtPkg/HighMemDxe" driver iterates over the
base/size pairs in all the memory nodes in the DT. For each such base
address that is currently tracked as "nonexistent" in the GCD memory
space map, the driver currently adds the base/size range as "system
memory". This in turn is reflected by the UEFI memmap that the OS gets
to see as "conventional memory".
If you need some memory ranges to show up as "special" in the UEFI
memmap, then you need to distinguish them somehow from the "regular"
memory areas, in the DT. And then extend "ArmVirtPkg/HighMemDxe" in the
firmware, so that it act upon the discriminator that you set in the DT.
Now... from a brief look at the Platform Init and UEFI specs, my
impression is that the hotpluggable (but presently not plugged) DIMM
ranges should simply be *absent* from the UEFI memmap; is that correct?
(I didn't check the ACPI spec, maybe it specifies the expected behavior
in full.) If my impression is correct, then two options (alternatives)
exist:
(1) Hide the affected memory nodes -- or at least the affected base/size
pairs -- from the DT, in case you boot without "-no-acpi" but with an
external firmware loaded. Then the firmware will not expose those ranges
as "conventional memory" in the UEFI memmap. This approach requires no
changes to edk2.
This option is precisely what Eric described up-thread, at
<http://mid.mail-archive.com/3f0a5793-dd35-a497-2248-8eb0cd3c3a16@redhat.com>:
> in machvirt_init, there is firmware_loaded that tells you whether you

(The "-no-acpi" cmdline option clears the "acpi_enabled" variable in
"vl.c").
So, the condition for hiding the hotpluggable memory nodes in question
from the DT is:
(aarch64 && firmware_loaded && acpi_enabled)
(2) Invent and set an "ignore me, firmware" property for the
hotpluggable memory nodes in the DT, and update the firmware to honor
that property.
Thanks

Probably no worth a wrapper either, since code is trivial and isn't reused elsewhere.

pc and q35 machine have different devices that implement ACPI interface
and live somewhere else in the system and also honor -no-acpi CLI option.
Link allows to cache reference to whatever device in use and manage CLI
expectations (if I recall it correctly).

After last round of changes to hotplug handler, it's deemed that plug() handler
should not fail (I didn't get my hands on removing error argument from interface
yet). All checks and graceful abort should happen at pre_plug() stage.

Right. I was not comparing against x86, but just pointing out how Nemu has
done this. They seems to have a virt-acpi dev specific to virt platforms
(hw/i386/virt/acpi.c) and then moved all GED related code in a separate file
(hw/acpi/ged.c) [1].
I was just thinking whether that approach makes any sense going forward where
there are cases where platforms support GED or GPIO for hotplug support and
virt-acpi dev can be configured to use either of those. May be not.
Thanks,
Shameer

Hmm..I don't have a clear answer to that other than the fact that just reused
the way other platform devices are created pl011/pl061/smmu etc. Also PCI
doesn't look like an obvious one here. Please let me know if there is a better
way of doing this.

I think the only requirement for size is >= MEMORY_HOTPLUG_IO_LEN(24).
So may be 64K is bit too much, 4K might as well do the job.
Or is it best to just use MEMORY_HOTPLUG_IO_LEN directly here?

from what I see that nemu uses GED only as ACPI aml code, while TYPE_VIRT_ACPI
actually implements hardware part of GED (i.e. initializes and owns MMIO/IRQs).
So it is GED device in practice.
If it's possible by ACPI spec to use GPIO with GED device, then I'd add it
later when there is actual usecase for it. Otherwise GPIO is just another
device with its own AML part to go with.
So I'd second Eric's suggestion to rename virt-acpi to acpi-ged

I'd go with this one, though I have a question for firmware side.
Let's assume we would want in future to expose hotpluggable & present
memory via GetMemoryMap() (like bare-metal does) (guest OS theoretically
can avoid using it for Normal zone based on hint from SRAT table early
at boot), but what about firmware can it inspect SRAT table and not use
hotpluggable ranges for its own use (or at least do not canibalize
them permanently)?

My initial response would be to say that hotpluggable memory
should be suitably marked up in both the DTB and the ACPI tables
so that guest software that cares can tell that it is hotplugged
whether it is choosing to consume the DT or the ACPI tables.
QEMU should definitely not be reporting the hardware as looking
different to the guest based on some guess about what guest
software it is booting.

This is actually two questions:
(a) Can the firmware inspect SRAT?
If the SRAT table structure isn't very complex, this is technically
doable, but the wrong thing to do, IMO.
First, we've tried hard to avoid enlightening the firmware about the
semantics of QEMU's ACPI tables.
Second, this would introduce an ordering constraint (or callbacks) in
the firmware, between the driver that processes & installs the ACPI
tables, and the driver that translates the memory nodes of the DT to the
memory ranges known to UEFI and the OS.
If we need such hinting, then option (2) below (from earlier context)
would be better:
- If it's OK to use an arm/aarch64 specific solution, then new DT
properties should work.
- If it should be arch-independent, then a dedicated fw_cfg file would
be better.
(b) Assuming we have the information from some source, can the firmware
expose some memory ranges as "usable RAM" to the OS, while staying away
from them for its own (firmware) purposes?
After consulting
Table 25. Memory Type Usage before ExitBootServices()
Table 26. Memory Type Usage after ExitBootServices()
in UEFI-2.7, I would say that the firmware driver that installs these
ranges to the memory (space) map should also allocate the ranges right
after, as EfiBootServicesData. This will prevent other drivers /
applications in the firmware from allocating chunks out of those areas,
and the OS will be at liberty to release and repurpose the ranges after
ExitBootServices().

Thanks for your explanation and suggestions. I had a quick run with the above
and it seems to do the job. I will drop this extra opt-in feature patch from this
series and instead have this check.

Thanks a lot for all those inputs!
I don't get why we test aarch64 in above condition (this was useful for
high ECAM range as the aarch32 FW was not supporting it but here, is it
still meaningful?)

Sorry, I should have clarified that. Yes, it is meaningful:
While UEFI has bindings for both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM, ACPI has a
64-bit-only binding for ARM. (And you can have UEFI without ACPI, but
not the reverse, on ARM.) So if you run the 32-bit build of the
ArmVirtQemu firmware, you get no ACPI at all; all you can rely on with
the OS is the DT.
This "bitness distinction" is implemented in the firmware already. If
you hid the memory nodes from the DT under the condition
(!aarch64 && firmware_loaded && acpi_enabled)
then the nodes would not be seen by the OS at all (because
"acpi_enabled" is irrelevant for the 32-bit build of ArmVirtQemu, and
all the OS can ever get is DT).

I am confused by the above statement actually. In the above case what
does happen if you pass the acpi=off in the kernel boot parameters?

If you launch QEMU with "-no-acpi" and you pass "acpi=off" to the guest
kernel, then the kernel will not boot successfully, as it will not get
DT from the firmware, and it will ignore the ACPI tables that it does
get from the firmware.

Sorry, I ended up answering "what happens when you run QEMU *without*
-no-acpi and pass acpi=off to the guest kernel".
To explain what happens when you boot *with* -no-acpi: in that case,
"acpi=off" doesn't matter, since the guest kernel doesn't get ACPI
tables anyway. The kernel will go for DT.

Yup. Sorry this was hidden in my launch scripts.

It's getting tricky and I don't like a bit that we are trying to carter
64 bit only UEFI build (or any other build) on QEMU side. Also Peter has
a valid about guessing on QEMU side (that's usually a source of problem
in the future).
Perhaps we should reconsider and think about marking hotplugbbale RAM
in DT and let firmware to exclude it from memory map.

Just to confirm, does that mean with 32-bit build of the UEFI, the OS cannot
boot with ACPI and uses DT only. So,
If ((aarch64 && firmware_loaded && acpi_enabled) {
Hide_hotpluggable_memory_nodes()
} else {
Add_ hotpluggable_memory_nodes()
}
should work for all cases?

If the above is correct(with 32-bit variant of UEFI, OS cannot have ACPI boot),
then do we really have the issue of memory becoming non hot-un-unpluggable?
May be I am missing something.

I'm fine either way.
(I'm glad to continue discussing either option; that shouldn't be taken
as a preference on my end.)
With option (2), please consider the new version dependency between QEMU
and the firmware -- this may or may not affect migration. (Thinking
about migration is difficult, so I'll leave that to you all :) )

Yes.
Here's what happens when any one of the subconditions evaluates to false:
- ARM32 has no ACPI bindings, so the guest kernel can only use DT.
- On AARCH64, if you don't "load the firmware" (= don't use UEFI), then
there won't be an ACPI entry point for the OS to locate (the RSD PTR
is defined by the ACPI spec in UEFI terms, for AARCH64). So the guest
kernel can only use DT.
- When on AARCH64 and using UEFI, but asking QEMU not to generate ACPI
content, the firmware will not install any ACPI tables, so the guest
kernel can only use DT.

I think Igor and Peter dislike adding complex logic to QEMU that
reflects the behavior of a specific firmware. AIUI their objection isn't
that it wouldn't work, but that it's not the right thing to do, from a
design perspective.

Lets try adding a parameter to memory descriptors in DT that would mark
them as hotpluggable.

I don't see any issues with migrations so far,
it will change the size of DT but it's all new CLI so any existing
machine should not have new options hence it would keep OLD DT size.
