[PATCH v10] Preserve the EFI System Resource Table for dom0
Posted by Demi Marie Obenour 1 year, 8 months ago
The EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) is necessary for fwupd to identify
firmware updates to install.  According to the UEFI specification §23.4,
the ESRT shall be stored in memory of type EfiBootServicesData.  However,
memory of type EfiBootServicesData is considered general-purpose memory
by Xen, so the ESRT needs to be moved somewhere where Xen will not
overwrite it.  Copy the ESRT to memory of type EfiRuntimeServicesData,
which Xen will not reuse.  dom0 can use the ESRT if (and only if) it is
in memory of type EfiRuntimeServicesData.

Earlier versions of this patch reserved the memory in which the ESRT was
located.  This created awkward alignment problems, and required either
splitting the E820 table or wasting memory.  It also would have required
a new platform op for dom0 to use to indicate if the ESRT is reserved.
By copying the ESRT into EfiRuntimeServicesData memory, the E820 table
does not need to be modified, and dom0 can just check the type of the
memory region containing the ESRT.  The copy is only done if the ESRT is
not already in EfiRuntimeServicesData memory, avoiding memory leaks on
repeated kexec.

See https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/20200818184018.GN1679@mail-itl/T/
for details.

Tested using qemu-system-x86_64 and xen.efi.

Changes since v9:

- Fix style nit (brace on separate line)
- Add Luca Fancellu's Tested-by

Changes since v8:

- Fix incomplete refactoring that caused boot to fail on all EFI
  systems.
