[v4] Enhanced SMM support for AMD-based x86 systems.

[edk2] [PATCH v4 0/5] Enhanced SMM support for AMD-based x86 systems.

Posted by Leo Duran 7 years, 2 months ago

This patch-set introduces a couple of FixedPCDs to replace
Intel-specific macros, and better support AMD-based x86 systems.
    
1) PcdCpuSmmSmramSaveStateMapOffset - SMRAM Save State Map Offset.
2) PcdCpuSmmPSDOffset - Processor SMM Descriptor Offset in SMRAM.

Changes since v3:
Correction on cover letter.

Changes since v2:
The intent of this revision is to maintain compatibility with existing
packages. To that end, changes to OvmgfPkg and QuarkSocPkg are reverted.
Moreover, pertinent macros are replaced in the C code, rather than on
header files that are shared globally.

Changes since v1:
Revision to Cc list for UefiCpuPkg.

Leo Duran (5):
  UefiCpuPkg/UefiCpuPkg.dec: Create FixedPCDs for SMM support
  UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm: Consume FixedPCDs to enhance SMM support

Hi Leo
I do not suggest we introduce PcdCpuSmmSmramSaveStateMapOffset.

This is unnecessary, because it is CPU attribute but not some end user configurable data.

I think we can use CPUID to distinguish AMD from INTEL. Is that technically possible?

I found we already have code at 
  C:\home\EdkIIGit\edk2\UefiCpuPkg\Library\BaseXApicX2ApicLib\BaseXApicX2ApicLib.c(1206):    if (StandardSignatureIsAuthenticAMD()) {
  C:\home\EdkIIGit\edk2\UefiCpuPkg\Library\BaseXApicLib\BaseXApicLib.c(1111):    if (StandardSignatureIsAuthenticAMD()) {



Thank you
Yao Jiewen

Re: [edk2] [PATCH v4 0/5] Enhanced SMM support for AMD-based x86 systems.

Posted by Marvin H?user 7 years, 2 months ago

Hey Jiewen,
Hey Leo,

May I suggest replacing "StandardSignatureIsAuthenticAMD()" and the PCDs introduced by the series with a Fixed "PcdCpuVendor" enum or alike?
The contra of "StandardSignatureIsAuthenticAMD()" is that it's a runtime action. From my point of view, this has no notable advantage as boards use either an Intel or an AMD chipset and hence the EDK2 Firmware Package has compilation-time knowledge of the target platform.
On the other hand, the PCDs introduced by this patch cause the contra that the platform DSC must set the correct vendor-specific (intel, AMD) value.
If the code checked for the CPU Vendor PCD and used the correct values based on that, the values for the other vendors would get optimized away (no unnecessary runtime actions) and the platform package owner does not need to worry about setting PCDs to AMD-specific values except for the CPU Vendor PCD.
Backwards-compatibility could be ensured by defaulting to some reserved value for the PCD and handling detection via StandardSignatureIsAuthenticAMD() if the platform DSC does not change it.

Thanks,
Marvin.

Re: [edk2] [PATCH v4 0/5] Enhanced SMM support for AMD-based x86 systems.

Posted by Yao, Jiewen 7 years, 2 months ago

interesting idea！
I think it is an option.
I would prefer an all-or-none approach.

If we use vender-pcd, we remove all check.
Vise versa, if we use check, we use check in all places.

Mixing runtime check and pcd may bring unnecessary confusing.

thank you!

Hi Marvin,
I'm not sure I follow your suggestion.
It seems like the platform .DSC would then need to set PcdCpuVendor to an appropriate value at build-time... No?

Re: [edk2] [PATCH v4 0/5] Enhanced SMM support for AMD-based x86 systems.

Posted by Marvin H?user 7 years, 2 months ago

Hi Leo,

Yes, that's right. That PCD would be the only needed to be set by the platform DSC.

Thanks,
Marvin
