Subject: [9front] [PATCH] boot/efi: delay GetMemoryMap until right before ExitBootServices
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 19:40:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <058CCCF199316D00FB1ABF63EBD3B3A8@mforney.org> (raw)
The UEFI specification suggests calling GetMemoryMap immediately
before ExitBootServices to ensure that the loader has the current
memory map. The firmware is able to enforce this since we have to
pass a "MapKey" from the last GetMemoryMap to ExitBootServices.
The T14 AMD gen 1 firmware is quite strict about this, and even a call
to OutputString will invalidate the MapKey. This causes
ExitBootServices to fail, and we enter 9front with boot services still
running. This causes all sorts of problems including leaving the
IOMMU enabled, breaking 9front's PCI drivers.
To fix this, move memconf() to unload(), right before
ExitBootServices. To retain the ability to override the memory map,
check if *e820 is already set and if so, ignore the output of
GetMemoryMap except for the MapKey.
---
Still some room for improvement around the *conf helper functions, but
I think this is fine for now.
I also wonder what we should be doing if GetMemoryMap fails. If we
don't have any potentially valid MapKey, how could ExitBootServices
succeed? Perhaps we could make unload return an error string on
failure, and pass it back from bootkern so that we can inform the user
that something is wrong.
