x86: efi_loader: Ensure the SMBIOS tables are sent via EFI

2025-05-25T09:40:00+00:00

The EFI-loader code has not been fully converted to use bloblist, so
relies on the SMBIOS-table address being set in global_data.

Set this up in write_tables() so that the SMBIOS tables are actually
available.

Enable the command for x86 QEMU so that the SMBIOS tests actually run.

x86: emulation: Support BLOBLIST_TABLES properly

2025-04-03T17:41:55+00:00

The existing QEMU implementation mostly ignored BLOBLIST_TABLES and
allocates the bulk of the tables with malloc(). Update it to place all
tables in the bloblist. Since QEMU declares a size of 128KB regardless
of the size of its tables, this requires a larger bloblist.

Fix up the e820 table to handle this, keeping the old code as an option
for now, to assist with any future bug-fixing.

x86: Align the SMBIOS table to a 4K boundary

2025-01-22T23:08:23+00:00

This isn't strictly needed, but with UPL we use the reserved-memory
nodes to indicate where the SMBIOS table is. Tianocore requires 4KB
alignment on these regions, so it is easier to adjust the alignment
to match.

emulation: Use bloblist to hold tables

2025-01-22T23:08:23+00:00

QEMU can have its own internal ACPI and SMBIOS tables. At present U-Boot
copies out the SMBIOS tables but points directly to the ACPI ones.

The ACPI tables are not aligned on a 4KB boundary, which means that UPL
cannot use them directly, since it uses a reserved-memory node for the
tables and that it assumed (by EDK2) to be 4KB-aligned.

On x86, QEMU provides the tables in a mapped memory region and U-Boot
makes use of these directly, thus making it difficult to use any common
code.

Adjust the logic to fit within the existing table-generation code. Use a
bloblist always and ensure that the ACPI tables is placed in an aligned
region. Set a size of 8K for QEMU. This does not actually put all the
tables in one place, for QEMU, since it currently adds a pointer to the
tables in QFW.

On ARM, enable bloblist so that SMBIOS tables can be added to the
bloblist.

Revert "Merge patch series "arm: dts: am62-beagleplay: Fix Beagleplay Ethernet""

2024-05-19T14:16:36+00:00

When bringing in the series 'arm: dts: am62-beagleplay: Fix Beagleplay
Ethernet"' I failed to notice that b4 noticed it was based on next and
so took that as the base commit and merged that part of next to master.

This reverts commit c8ffd1356d42223cbb8c86280a083cc3c93e6426, reversing
changes made to 2ee6f3a5f7550de3599faef9704e166e5dcace35.

x86: all firmware tables must be paragraph aligned

2024-04-20T08:15:03+00:00

On qemu-x86_64_defconfig the following was observed:

    => efidebug tables
    00000000000f0074  eb9d2d31-2d88-11d3-9a16-0090273fc14d  SMBIOS table

The SMBIOS configuration table does not point to a paragraph-aligned
(16 byte aligned) address. The reason is that in write_tables() rom_addr is
not aligned and copied to gd->arch.smbios_start.

The Simple Firmware Interface requires that the SFI table is paragraph-
aligned but our code does not guarantee this.

As all tables written in write_tables() must be paragraph-aligned, we
should implement the address rounding in write_tables() and not in table
specific routines like copy_pirq_routing_table().

Add paragraph-alignment in write_tables().

smbios: copy QEMU tables

2024-01-16T22:05:29+00:00

QEMU provides SMBIOS tables with detailed information. We should not try to
replicate them in U-Boot.

If we want to inform about U-Boot, we can add a Firmware Inventory
Information (type 45) table in future.
