2015-02-19OvmfPkg: AcpiPlatformDxe: extract common entry pointLaszlo Ersek
Currently the entry point functions of both driver builds (AcpiPlatformDxe.inf and QemuFwCfgAcpiPlatformDxe.inf) directly contain the logic that is different between the two builds. Because we're going to restructure the entry point logic soon, we'd have to duplicate the same new code between both entry point functions. Push down the logic in which they differ to a new function: - InstallAcpiTables() [AcpiPlatform.c] - InstallAcpiTables() [QemuFwCfgAcpiPlatform.c] and extract a common entry point function: - AcpiPlatformEntryPoint() [EntryPoint.c] which we can soon modify without code duplication.

2014-06-19OvmfPkg: AcpiPlatformDxe: pass FwCfgFile to InstallQemuLinkedTables()Laszlo Ersek
Split InstallQemuLinkedTables() in two: - the function now takes the name of the fw_cfg file (from which ACPI tables are to be extracted) as a parameter, - the new function InstallAllQemuLinkedTables() calls the former with fw_cfg file names, and cumulatively tracks the ACPI tables installed by all invocations of the former.

2014-03-31OvmfPkg: AcpiPlatformDxe: download ACPI tables from QEMULaszlo Ersek
Recent qemu versions compose all ACPI tables on the host side, according to the target hardware configuration, and make the tables available to any guest firmware over fw_cfg. See version compatibility information below. The feature moves the burden of keeping ACPI tables up-to-date from boot firmware to qemu (which is the source of hardware configuration anyway). This patch adds client code for this feature. Benefits of the qemu-provided ACPI tables include PCI hotplug for example. Qemu provides the following three fw_cfg files: - etc/acpi/rsdp - etc/acpi/tables - etc/table-loader "etc/acpi/rsdp" and "etc/acpi/tables" are similar, they are only kept separate because they have different allocation requirements in SeaBIOS. Both of these fw_cfg files contain preformatted ACPI payload. "etc/acpi/rsdp" contains only the RSDP table, while "etc/acpi/tables" contains all other tables, concatenated. The tables in these two fw_cfg files are filled in by qemu, but two kinds of fields are left incomplete in each table: pointers to other tables, and checksums (which depend on the pointers). Qemu initializes each pointer with a relative offset into the fw_cfg file that contains the pointed-to ACPI table. The final pointer values depend on where the fw_cfg files, holding the pointed-to ACPI tables, will be placed in memory by the guest. That is, the pointer fields need to be "relocated" (incremented) by the base addresses of where "/etc/acpi/rsdp" and "/etc/acpi/tables" will be placed in guest memory. This is where the third file, "/etc/table-loader" comes in the picture. It is a linker/loader script that has several command types: One command type instructs the guest to download the other two files. Another command type instructs the guest to increment ("absolutize") a pointer field (having a relative initial value) in the pointing ACPI table, present in some fw_cfg file, with the dynamic base address of the same (or another) fw_cfg file, holding the pointed-to ACPI table. The third command type instructs the guest to compute checksums over ranges and to store them. In edk2, EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL knows about table relationships -- it handles linkage automatically when a table is installed. The protocol takes care of checksumming too. RSDP is installed automatically. Hence we only need to care about the "etc/acpi/tables" fw_cfg file, determining the boundaries of each ACPI table inside it, and installing those tables.
