Summary

This function looks in the efi memory map for a physical address
and returns the attribute.
This is needed when we want to correctly map some region.

Sponsored by: Ampere Computing, LLC

Test Plan

On the Ampere eMAG where there is ~150 efi region in the map this is the distribution or the bsearch rounds :

37 num=2
87 num=7
24 num=8
37 num=9

This should be in a helper function.

230–232

See note above about a helper.

277

Perhaps put this under bootverbose.

403

Some debugging left ?

426

And this.

Sorry it's not needed I just commited part of some debug code by mistake, will remove it.

sys/dev/efidev/efirt.c

I find it useful, but it should not clutter normal boot messages.

Add helper function that get the memory map from efi.
Remove some debugs printf that weren't supposed to be there.

Ok I'll leave this line and remove the ones that prints the runtime function addresses (unless you want those too).

sys/dev/efidev/efirt.c

You do not need = NULL;.

144

Extra blank line.

152

Another extra.

277

I find addresses are useful too.

sys/dev/efidev/efirt.c

It looks like this could be replaced with

roundup2(sizeof(struct efi_map_header), 16)

No need for ().

178

Is it reasonable to return 0 if the address is not covered by the map ?

Could EFI_MEMORY_UC be a better return value in this case ?

283

I think %p would be a better format specifier.

sys/dev/efidev/efirt.c
173

Indeed, that was just a copy/paste from the old code.

178

This is something I'm really not sure about.
We really need to have a consistent way of returning the attr for every arch, maybe it would be better to just return 0/-1 and write the attr in a pointer passed as arg. Then the caller could do different action based on the arch.

283

Ok, I'll change that.

Address kib comments.
Note that based on some comment on D20348 I might change this revision so efi_memory_attribute won't use the efi map directly.

kib added inline comments.
sys/dev/efidev/efirt.c

return (efihdr != NULL);

278

The format specifiers there are still very LP64-specific. I would use %jx/uintmax_t for all non-pointers.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.May 27 2019, 4:20 PM

Use bsearch and address kib's comments.

return (0) -> return (false)

This all looks fine, except one detail. I reviewed UEFI 2.8 description of EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.GetMemoryMap() but did not found a mention that they require the map ordered by phys address. Did you miss the code to sort the map ?

For the task of DMAP creation with correct attributes, I definitely do not want to call efi_memory_attribute() for each 4K page. Perhaps add optional out argument which returns amount of memory with the same attribute as pa, after pa.

In chapter 4.6, EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE it is said : The list must be sorted by physical start address in ascending order.

Ok I'll do that.

I am even more confused. The description said that about EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE, not about memory map. And you correctly use memory map, because MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE seems to be some after-thought patch only applicable to EFI runtime code and data.

qsort the efi map
If out is supplied, search for the last page with the same attributes as the requested out and write the address in out.

Yeah sorry, I got confused and thought that this was describing the same map.

Forgot to write to out if no other pages were found.

efi_map_bsearch_compare()

I believe you should use vm_paddr_t there. You pass a pointer to vm_paddr_t, which is uint64_t only by coincidense.

203

I think that the semantic of *out should be 'a byte after the end of the segment'.

If we assume that pa is exactly equal to the p->md_phys, then this means that -1 is not needed. If pa is greater than md_phys, then you need to adjust the formula to correctly return number of pages left after pa in the segment.

207

Why do you need bsearch ? After the map was sorted, we know for sure that the next segment in phys address order starts after the current one. You should check for a gap and last segment, but otherwise you could use the next segment without looking it up.

Tested on X86? I had an earlier version of this in my WIP tree for testing on eMAG/ThunderX2 (where it worked) but encountered a panic on x86. I do have some other WIP in that tree though.

trailing ws

Is it possible to get this in head? It seems to be needed to run FreeBSD on Ampere systems...

So long ago and I don't know if this is still really needed as we boot fine on Ampere machines.
