Thanks for the CC.
This module seems quite large, and OVMF (to my knowledge) doesn't
include any special handlers. (Nothing from category (3), and I couldn't
say if anything from category (2)).
Do you think this module would be useful to enable in OVMF,
conditionally, with -D SMI_HANDLER_PROFILE_ENABLE?
Beyond the question of its utility to OVMF developers and users,
requiring a separate UEFI app to dump the profile, presumably from the
UEFI shell, is not really flexible for OVMF. We can't / don't build
applications into the firmware image (beyond the shell and UiApp), so
users would have to build a virtual disk image with this app, or we'd
have to provide scripts for the same.
For now, I believe we don't wish to enable this in OVMF.
If you CC'd me for regression-testing PiSmmCore, as it is built into
OVMF, with the default PcdSmiHandlerProfilePropertyMask=0 value, then I
respectfully point you to the following article:
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Testing-SMM-with-QEMU,-KVM-and-libvirt
Please set up a KVM environment as documented there, and adopt it for
regular SMM testing :) My strong hope is that, by adopting KVM as a
regular test platform, Intel developers won't only catch OVMF
regressions before they post patches, but they should also see their own
productivity increase.
I assume it must be much easier to click "Play" in the Virt-Manager GUI
and to boot to an OS, on top of the new firmware, in seconds, than to
flash firmware to a physical board. It does not replace physical board
testing, but should catch a number of errors more gracefully.
The test cases I wrote up include UEFI variable testing and ACPI S3. The
guest OSes covered are Fedora 25 and Windows 10. Please give it a look.
Thanks!
