[edk2-devel] [PATCH] OvmfPkg/README: HTTPS Boot: describe host-side TLS cipher suites forwarding
Posted by Laszlo Ersek 3 years, 7 months ago
In QEMU commit range 4abf70a661a5..69699f3055a5, Phil implemented a QEMU
facility for exposing the host-side TLS cipher suite configuration to
OVMF. The purpose is to control the permitted ciphers in the guest's UEFI
HTTPS boot. This complements the forwarding of the host-side crypto policy
from the host to the guest -- the other facet was the set of CA
certificates (for which p11-kit patches had been upstreamed, on the host
side).

Mention the new command line options in "OvmfPkg/README".

   This script creates ciphers.bin that contains all the cipher suite IDs

 Like all current IA32/X64 system designs, OVMF's firmware device (rom/flash)
 appears in QEMU's physical address space just below 4GB (0x100000000).
 
 OVMF supports building a 1MB, 2MB or 4MB flash image (see the DSC files for the
 FD_SIZE_1MB, FD_SIZE_2MB, FD_SIZE_4MB build defines). The base address for the
 1MB image in QEMU physical memory is 0xfff00000. The base address for the 2MB
 image is 0xffe00000. The base address for the 4MB image is 0xffc00000.
 
 Using the 1MB or 2MB image, the layout of the firmware device in memory looks

Thanks!

I'll have to respin this, bumping the QEMU version numbers, and updating
the QEMU commit references in the commit message.

There's an issue in QEMU 5.1 that prevents "-fw_cfg name=...,gen_id=..."
from working. We'll have to fix that for 5.2 (and hopefully backport the
fix to 5.1 stable).

What about using a '-' to list each "Using QEMU ..." and make the
separation clearer?

I can do that, yes. There are three possibilities:

- prefix just one line (in each affected paragraph) with the hyphen,

- prefix the first line of each paragraph with the hyphen, plus indent
the rest of the *same paragraph* by 2 spaces.

- prefix the first line of each paragraph with the hyphen, plus indent
the rest of the *text* that applies to the QEMU versions being discussed.

Which one do you prefer?

Thanks,
Laszlo

I'd go with this possibility. Clear and easy.

(Note that would be my *visual* preference, but I don't think it's
worth it, I prefer we keep the diff short and easy to review).
