OvmfPkg/SerializeVariablesLib: ignore secure variable restore errors
OvmfPkg's file-based NvVar storage is read back as follows at boot (all paths under OvmfPkg/Library/): PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior() [PlatformBdsLib/BdsPlatform.c] PlatformBdsRestoreNvVarsFromHardDisk() VisitAllInstancesOfProtocol for each simple file system: VisitingFileSystemInstance() ConnectNvVarsToFileSystem() [NvVarsFileLib/NvVarsFileLib.c] LoadNvVarsFromFs() [NvVarsFileLib/FsAccess.c] ReadNvVarsFile() +-------------> SerializeVariablesSetSerializedVariables() [SerializeVariablesLib/SerializeVariablesLib.c] | SerializeVariablesIterateInstanceVariables() | +-------------> IterateVariablesInBuffer() | | for each loaded / deserialized variable: | +-|-----------------> IterateVariablesCallbackSetSystemVariable() | | | gRT->SetVariable() | | | | | IterateVariablesInBuffer() stops processing variables as soon as the | | first error is encountered from the callback function. | | | | In this case the callback function is | IterateVariablesCallbackSetSystemVariable(), selected by SerializeVariablesSetSerializedVariables(). The result is that no NvVar is restored from the file after the first gRT->SetVariable() failure. On my system such a failure - never happens in an OVMF build with secure boot disabled, - happens *immediately* with SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE, because the first variable to restore is "AuthVarKeyDatabase". "AuthVarKeyDatabase" has the EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS attribute set. Since the loop tries to restore it before any keys (PK, KEK etc) are enrolled, gRT->SetVariable() rejects it with EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION. Consequently the NvVar restore loop terminates immediately, and we never reach non-authenticated variables such as Boot#### and BootOrder. Until work on KVM-compatible flash emulation converges between qemu and OvmfPkg, improve the SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE boot experience by masking EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION in the callback: - authenticated variables continue to be rejected same as before, but - at least we allow the loop to progress and restore non-authenticated variables, for example boot options.
