[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/5] add ACPI node for fw_cfg on pc and arm

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

New since v3:

	- rebased to work on top of 87e896ab (introducing pc-*-25 classes),
	  inserting fw_cfg acpi node only for machines >= 2.5.

	- reintroduce _STA with value 0x0B (bit 2 for u/i visibility turned
	  off to avoid Windows complaining -- thanks Igor for catching that!)

If there's any other feedback besides questions regarding the
appropriateness of "QEMU0002" as the value of _HID, please don't hesitate!

Thanks much,
  --Gabriel

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 1/5] fw_cfg: expose control register size in fw_cfg.h

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

Expose the size of the control register (FW_CFG_SIZE, renamed to
FW_CFG_CTL_SIZE) in fw_cfg.h.
Add comment to fw_cfg_io_realize() pointing out that since the
8-bit data register is always subsumed by the 16-bit control
register in the port I/O case, we use the control register width
as the *total* width of the port I/O region reserved for the device.

Suggest to say "control register" here, rather than "control port".

Other than that,

I'm torn whether this should be unified with the *other*
BIOS_CFG_IOPORT* macro definitions (and uses), but since those are
independent (justifiedly), it probably shouldn't.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 3/5] acpi: pc: add fw_cfg device node to ssdt

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

Add a fw_cfg device node to the ACPI SSDT, on machine types
pc-*-2.5 and up. While the guest-side BIOS can't utilize
this information (since it has to access the hard-coded
fw_cfg device to extract ACPI tables to begin with), having
fw_cfg listed in ACPI will help the guest kernel keep a more
accurate inventory of in-use IO port regions.

I think "aml_io" should be indented so that it lines up with "crs" above it.

Other than that:

What Windows guests did you test this with? ("Testing" meant as "looked
at Device Manager".) I can help with Windows 7, 8, and 10, if you'd like
that.

There are a few other nodes being added in if() {...} bloks
immediately following the fw_cfg one. They *all* indent it this way, I
just made mine look similar. That said, I have no problem indenting
mine differently, if you still want me to... :)

I tested on winddows 7. After re-adding _STA set to 0x08, it no longer
complains about not being able to find a driver for it :)

Nah, if you are consistent with existing code there, I'm fine.

So you had to clear bit 0 (value 1, "device is present") and bit 1
(value 2, "device is enabled and decoding its resources") in _STA,
relative to 0xB visible above? I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
First, setting bit 3 (value 8, "device is functioning properly"0 without
the device being present is... strange. Second, won't that prevent you
from using the resources even in the Linux driver?

(My working assumption is that you're doing this for QEMU because GregKH
(IIRC?) told you that the kernel driver should be keying off of ACPI. Is
that right?)

Thanks!

no, 0x0B is 1011, the only bit I'm clearing is "shown in the u/i".
Leaving out _STA entirely would have had it default to 0x0F, and the
"show in u/i" bit caused Windows to show it in the device manager with
a yellow excalmation sign... So I had to go back and add an explicit
_STA with the u/i bit turned off.

First, to answer mst's question elswhere in this thread, I'm
working on a kernel sysfs driver that would list fw_cfg blobs in
sysfs (just like /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/...) so userspace could
simply "cat" or "cp" the raw blobs.

GregKH told me to try udev for the friendly path blobname expansion
(your "I like using find on /sys/firmware..." recommendation). He never
said anything about ACPI (not sure he would have eventually or not).

It all started with ardb saying "NAK on arm if you touch the mmio
registers before checking with DT that you even have a fw_cfg device".

I sort-of figured I'd better not touch IOport registers either before
I know I have a fw_cfg device, hence this whole exercise of adding it
to ACPI. Although I still have to figure out how one would do
something like

	if (search_acpi_for_hid("QEMU0002") == NULL)

		return -ENODEV;

from a module_init method... Couldn't find any examples (yet) in the
kernel source, and starting to wonder if maybe this is not how ACPI is
supposed to work, and somehow ACPI initialization itself is somehow
expected to trigger loading modules for devices it encounters...

Obviously, since sun4* and ppc/mac have neither DT nor ACPI, this will
have to be limited to x86 and arm, but OK...

Dividing the overall problem into smaller, independently
comprehensible bits doesn't seem to be working out all that
great for me, so far... In Soviet Russia, problem divide-and-conquer YOU!
:)

At least we're getting a documented reservation of whatever mmio or
ioport region is occupied by fw_cfg in ACPI, so either way I think
it's worth it (whether it ends up helping me with my long term goals
or not :)

Thanks much,

Ah okay. So when you wrote "re-adding _STA set to 0x08", you actually
meant *this* patch. Right? (I don't really understand the reference to
0x08.)

So I take you tested *this* patch with Windows 7, and it was satisfied.
Good.

Unfortunately I can't help you at all with kernel driver development,
but I do sense a kind of dependency hell here (maybe even with a cycle
in it) where whatever you try to implement, someone says "please do X
first". :/

Yes, we're OK. Throughout it all I *meant* to write 0x0B (bee), but my
brain sometimes mistakenly makes me write 0x08 (eight) instead. Sorry for

IIRC from the pvpanic trainwreck, Windows XP and 2003 always complain

Don't have 2003, but dug up and started my old xp_sp3 image, and
Device Manager only complains when _STA defaults to 0x0f (i.e. when
I omit generating it in aml completely).

With _STA set to 0x0b (like in the latest version of the patch), the
fw_cfg device does not show up with a missing device complaint on xp.

we don't really care about SSDT size changes since during
migration ACPI blobs will be migrated from source, so
machine compat bloat is excessive here. It would be better
to just remove it.

could you check/dump this _CRS and PCI0._CRS to see if they are intersecting

This was Eduardo's suggestion, if I recall correctly:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/361930/focus=361983

The idea being, if you move a guest from older QEMU to newer QEMU, but
keep the machine type (or more precisely, the full machine config, like
the domain XML) intact, the ACPI device node should not appear out of
the blue.

I'll let Gabriel answer your other question below. :)

Thanks

This ACPI device is an always used resource declaration regardless
of machine type so it makes sense to tell guest about used resource.

The only reason for machine compat code would be if guest suddenly
started to ask for a driver but as Gabriel showed with _STA(0xB)
it doesn't, so I'm trying to keep ACPI code machine compat agnostic
as much as possible.


PS:
is it me alone or email to qemu-devel arrives with huge delay (upto 2 days)?

Fine by me, but I think Eduardo should agree (or disagree) as well,
because it was his point originally.

Several subscribers have reported the same, and I'm seeing delays myself.

I have no problem taking the compat logic back out, if Eduardo agrees
that's an OK thing to do.

On bot PIIX and Q35, there's no _CRS under PCI0 in the dsdt.
All I could find was

Scope (\_SB.PCI0)
{
    Name (_CRS, ...)
        IO (Decode16,
            0x0CF8,             // Range Minimum
            0x0CF8,             // Range Maximum
            0x01,               // Alignment
            0x08,               // Length
            )
    ...

So that does not overlap with fw_cfg.

In fact, I searched for all "IO (Decode..." occurrences, and nothing
in either DSDT or SSDT has any overlap with [ 0x510 .. 0x512 ].

gnu.org servers (hosts of our nongnu.org list) got hit with a huge spam
bomb last weekend; in the process of dealing with the system overload
from that, LOTS of lists had traffic being held for multiple hours.  It
looks like the mail is a bit snappier today, but still plowing through
the backlog of mails that were pending retries when the systems weren't
as loaded.

I wish there were a nice URL to post to an outage report from the
fsfadmin folks, but can't find one.

Eduardo, what do you think about this ? I'm hoping to do a v5 over the
weekend or early next week, and which way this should go is one of the
couple of decisions that I still have open.

The general rule is that anything that's visible to the guest shouldn't
change on a QEMU upgrade if the machine-type is kept the same. If we
want to avoid the compat code, we need careful testing to ensure this
won't make any guest OS do something unexpected.

One of the things that may break if guest-visible bits of the machine
change is Windows license activation, but the rules Windows use to
trigger reactivation aren't very clear.

I couldn't find them[1]. If you have a pointer to a clear description of
the rules for all Windows versions, I would love to see it.

[1] All I have found were things like:

  "Do I need to activate Windows after making a hardware change?
  Maybe. [...]"
  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/activating-windows-faq#1TC=windows-7

  "Microsoft is characteristically shy about discussing the details of
  activation. [...]"
  http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-quietly-rewrites-its-activation-rules-for-windows-10/

  "What triggers the need to reactivate Windows? As intended, each
  hardware component gets a relative weight, and from that WGA determines
  whether your copy of Windows 7 needs reactivation. The weight and the
  number of changes is apparently a guarded secret. If you upgrade too
  much at once, WAT decides that your PC is new, and things can get messy.
  The actual algorithm that Microsoft uses is not disclosed, [...]"

Also:
	Microsoft defines "substantially different" hardware differently for PCs
	that are configured to be dockable. Additionally, the network adapter is
	given a superior "weighting." If the PC is not dockable and a network
	adapter exists and is not changed, 6 or more of the other above values
	would have to change before reactivation was required. If a network
	adapter existed but is changed or never existed at all, 4 or more
	changes (including the changed network adapter if it previously existed)
	will result in a requirement to reactivate.

So it's also not hard to try it out with kvm.  Apply a patch, change
3 other things: nic mac, ram size (by a factor of >2), cpu type and boot.

Thanks. Do you know if there's public information for other Windows

I don't see any issues here, it should just work, since usually

Practice shows that changing ACPI tables doesn't affect MS Activation so far.

I mean: shutdown, followed by QEMU upgrade, followed by reboot.

I still see any guest-visible change in a machine-type as a bug. But at
least it seems to be a minor bug.

I just noticed we have made ACPI table changes in the past without any
compat code, so that's not something new. So I won't mind too much if
you really want to avoid acpi_no_fw_cfg_node.

Then guest will get new ACPI tables as well possibly updated BIOS
regardless of machine type. (see below)

That's because ACPI tables are considered to be part (they are in QEMU for
convenience purpose only) of firmware and as expected if one run's
the same machine type with updated BIOS, one'll get updated tables.

So I prefer to avoid adding compat cruft in ACPI code unless
we have to it, which is not case with this patch.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 4/5] acpi: arm: add fw_cfg device node to dsdt

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

Add a fw_cfg device node to the ACPI DSDT. This is mostly
informational, as the authoritative fw_cfg MMIO region(s)
are listed in the Device Tree. However, since we are building
ACPI tables, we might as well be thorough while at it...

Looks sane to me.

Did you test this with an aarch64 Linux guest (acpidump -b; iasl -d; cat
/proc/iomem?) I can help with that, if you'd like.

I have a F22 arm setup generated by virt-builder, which I start using:

bin/qemu-system-arm -M virt,accel=tcg -cpu cortex-a15 \
  -kernel ./ArmVirtBuilder/vmlinuz-4.0.4-301.fc22.armv7hl+lpae \
  -initrd ./ArmVirtBuilder/initramfs-4.0.4-301.fc22.armv7hl+lpae.img \
  -append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda3 ro" \
  -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
  -drive id=hd0,if=none,snapshot=on,file=./ArmVirtBuilder/fedora-22.img \
  -device virtio-net-device,netdev=usernet \
  -netdev user,id=usernet \
  -monitor stdio

I used it to successfully test my (rude, mmio-poking) kernel sysfs
driver, but somehow it doesn't seem to pay any attention to ACPI.

/proc/iomem looks the same before and after my patch, so no entry for
fw_cfg once I add it to the ssdt host-side.

'acpidump -b' says "Could not get ACPI tables, AE_NOT_FOUND". There's
no /proc/acpi or /sys/firmware/acpi...

Although ACPI tables do get placed in fw_cfg (after loading my linux
kernel driver I can see the "/etc/acpi/tables" blob). And if I 'iasl -d'
that, I can see the FWCF node in the ssdt :)

In the short run, if you can test on your end that'd be great. Also,
if you have any idea why I'm not seeing ACPI at all (missing kernel
module, or wrong firmware, or ???) please let me know...

You are not seeing ACPI tables in the guest because you aren't using a
guest firmware that downloads and installs them (-> ArmVirtQemu, aka.
AAVMF, built from edk2). I'll test your series for that scenario and
report back later.

Note that you are booting 32-bit ARM here, which does not support ACPI nor UEFI.
(UEFI is work in progress, so you can try my ARM 32-bit UEFI tree if
you need to: https://git.linaro.org/people/ard.biesheuvel/linux-arm.git/shortlog/refs/heads/arm-efi-combined-v2)

You will need to create an arm64 / AArch64 setup and boot the virt
model using 'qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -cpu cortex-a57 ...' instead.
In either case, as Laszlo pointed out, you need UEFI firmware in QEMU
as well.

I'm about to follow up with my test results, and I considered writing up
a more or less complete guide for Gabriel to test this with an aarch64
guest.

However: if Gabriel has no access to actual aarch64 hardware (ie. cannot
run KVM guests), then I don't think he should bother. Booting just the
UEFI firmware on qemu-system-aarch64 with TCG acceleration is fine, but
for checking "/proc/iomem", he'd really need to boot into guest Linux,
and *that* takes absolutely forever with TCG.

(Dependent on your guest distro, of course; I have tested Fedora 21+ and
RHELSA / RHEL-7 candidates thus far. I wouldn't recommend TCG for those.)

So, I'll just leave these links here for posterity (they could be
somewhat outdated), and I offer to help with aarch64 guest testing in
the future as well, if the patch series overlaps with my interests.

If it actually takes forever that's a bug of some sort I think.
TCG isn't all that snappy but it shouldn't take more than a few
minutes to boot and it should be at least usably responsive on
the command line once you get there. (Best not to try to boot
into a GUI, though.)

Yes, TCG is fast, relative to the feat it pulls off, but in absolute
terms, even those minutes to boot are annoying when you repeatedly test
something in the guest.

Here's a timing from my new company laptop (Thinkpad W541, i7-4810MQ CPU
@ 2.80GHz, running docked); QEMU built with --enable-debug:

(1) From starting the guest until the EFI stub of the kernel launches:
omitted (we're not timing the firmware, as it is not universally
necessary for testing)

(2) From launching the EFI stub until the login prompt appears on the
serial console: 3 minutes 46 seconds

(3) After logging in super fast, the time it takes to get a shell
prompt: 50 seconds

(4) The time it takes for background services to quiesce (= for QEMU to
stop spinning) while waiting idly at the shell prompt (because it makes
no sense to issue commands earlier): 1 minute 19 seconds

(5) Once the guest quiesces, shutting it down with "poweroff": 1 minute
36 seconds.

In total, 7 minutes 31 seconds for a test cycle (not counting the
firmware), without running any actual commands in the guest.

Again, it depends on the services that are enabled in systemd, but you
usually want to test with a guest OS that users normally run.

(I realize step (5) can be avoided if you have a qcow2 snapshot -- just
kill the guest when you're done, and revert the image to the snapshot
before next boot; hopefully new guest files are not important. I also
agree the first investment in a TCG guest should be heavily trimming its
services.)

So -- there's no bug, but TCG does not appear very suitable for testing
in guest userspace *now*.

... This is not to diminish TCG's general brilliance, and usefulness in
certain situations. I haven't forgotten that aarch64 emulation in TCG
was a long awaited godsend after the Foundation Model!

Still: Gabriel, how do you feel about buying a 96Boards EE (when it
becomes available)? :)

Almost the same here.

Less than half that time here.
Guess there is room to improve that for you ...

I'm running Fedora 22 as guest, minimal install, with stuff being added
as needed.

> Again, it depends on the services that are enabled in systemd, but you

Depends.  Especially when mucking with firmware stuff this shouldn't be
that important, and gnome desktop install start alot more stuff, even
when booting into runlevel 3 only.

> in guest userspace *now*.

It's ok for testing now and then.  You don't want do actual development
with such a setup though.

That's bad. This should be more like 5 seconds at worst, it is for me.
This does depend a lot on how your guest is configured,
of course -- if you have a full fat distro with all the
desktop bells and whistles it's probably going to be slower.

Not sure what these "background services" are. Sounds like your
guest image is a bit overconfigured...

Hmm, that looks like a sweet piece of hardware, and I can definitely
think of a few excuses I can bring up with my boss to order me one or
two :) Any idea how long until they're for sale ?

Also, Laszlo -- thanks for testing on arm! I'll fire off v5 with all
the feedback I collected soon, hopefully early tomorrow. I've been
trying to squeeze in work on the kernel driver between meetings today,
and on second look, I think I can immitate enough of pvpanic's setup
and tear-down to replace my module_init and module_exit routines, and
make this an acpi-only driver. We'll see how that works out, thanks
again for the pointers !

I'm noticing that even on 32-bit arm there are ACPI tables generated and
inserted into fw_cfg, so is there any reason OTHER than lack of firmware
support for ACPI not being supported on 32-bit arm ?

Thanks to both of you for the pointers, I will probably invest some
time in getting set up with UEFI firmware for my arm guests at some
point, when the dust settles on all the other fun :)

The 32-bit ARM/Linux kernel simply does not implement *any* kind of
ACPI support or awareness, so whether the firmware implements it or
not is irrelevant.

I think Ard was speaking about the guest kernel (his pointer certainly
looks like a kernel repo). With regard to firmware, edk2's
ArmVirtPkg/ArmVirtQemu.dsc builds just fine for 32-bit ARM guests.

So, it's not a QEMU or guest firmware problem; I think it's a guest
kernel problem.

Your question could be reformulated as "why has ACPI adoption been slow
in the ARM kernel", and my answer is "let's not go there". :)

Re your other email... If you can convince people in your organization
that hold the strings of purses to buy aarch64 hardware on the org
level, you can buy it right now. It's pricier than the 96Boards EE stuff
is supposed to be, but it's available. Should you feel a burning desire
to test ACPI (or other) work in aarch64 KVM guests. :)

This is mostly just that we didn't bother to suppress them for
32-bit boots, though they're useless there.

Only if you think ACPI support is a requirement. It's not for 32-bit;
there's no compelling reason to implement it there.

Oh, certainly. I was speaking with that working assumption (based on how
Gabriel asked his question); I wasn't trying to state that assumption as
a fact. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

So I dumped and decompiled the DSDT, and the relevant output is:

This is correct -- the fw_cfg MMIO register block is correctly described by the above. (The actual size will change once Marc's fw_cfg-DMA series is merged, but that will be reflected by this patch automatically.)

I'd have preferred spelling out "_HID" or "ACPI Hardware ID" here, but I
agree that this wording matches that of "docs/specs/pvpanic.txt".

Please replace both "BIOS" and "bios" with "firmware".

Looks good otherwise. For the next version:

+1, I asked the same (/proc/iomem) wrt. the ARM patch.

... I vaguely remember that /proc/ioports and /proc/iomem tracks only
actual allocations by drivers. So the driver is supposed to get the
resources from ACPI, but until a driver actually allocates the ports (I
fail to recall the exact Linux APIs ATM -- apologies), the registers
might not show up in these pseudo-files.

OTOH Gabriel is working on a guest kernel driver that would look at ACPI
I think...

I mentioned this elsewhere in the thread, but since I didn't
address your _CRS remark explicitly:

The driver I'm working on (guest-)kernel-side serves to
access fw_cfg blob metadata and raw content in sysfs (look
at /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/... for something similar).

The driver is written, tested, and works great, but right now
it has a list of port-io and mmio (base + size) pairs which
I'm probing in decreasing order of probability:

	1. io-port on i386 (and sun4u)
	2. mmio on arm
	3. mmio on ppc/mac
	4. mmio on sun4m

from its module_init function.

The arm guys basically said "No, you can't do that, use DT to first
*know* for sure you have fw_cfg before touching its mmio registers".

I've sort of assumed that's valid on i386 as well, and that I should
query ACPI for a fw_cfg node (and yes, use whatever is in _CRS to
set the value of the io-port (or mmio) base, and width).

That means dropping support for ppc/mac and sun4m since there's no DT
or ACPI there. I'm also not quite sure how I'd query ACPI during a
module_init function, so if you know of any examples I could use for
inspiratin, I'd be really thankful for a pointer :)

Anyhow, that's the story, any further comments and clues much
appreciated!

Thanks,

I'd recommend looking at acpi_dev_get_resources(),
acpi_dev_resource_io(), etc in "drivers/acpi/resource.c", but I think
that's exactly what Michael said he hoped your kernel code wouldn't
do... I'm a bit confused about that, admittedly.

Also, if you go the ACPI way, your kernel driver will have to probe /
bind the device based on _HID -- see eg.
"drivers/platform/x86/pvpanic.c" (which is the guest driver for the
pvpanic device, QEMU0001).

At least on the i386 side of things, /proc/ioport gets a new line
entry for

  0510-0511 : QEMU0002:00

simply due to the presence of the ACPI node, and without having loaded
any driver.

> I think...

As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm hoping to be able to use the presence of
the fw_cfg node in ACPI (and the base + width data contained in its
_CRS) to avoid probing IO ports. I'm not really clear on how that's
done, and so far haven't found a similar example in the Linux kernel
to use for inspiration, but I'm working on that...

BTW, after I load my (rude, ioport probing, non-acpi-using) sysfs
fw_cfg driver, I get an additional entry on i386:

cat /proc/ioports
...
  0510-0511 : QEMU0002:00
    0510-0511 : fw_cfg IOport on i386, sun4u	<<< after modprobe qemu_fw_cfg
...
