This change is kinda large to review... Please see if you can break it up into smaller pieces with better explanations for each of the steps.
I've only just started reviewing things... I'm not super familiar with arm64 hypervisor interfaces...
This is super cool...

I was about to test the match to amd64 Hyper-V but a simple "patch -C < .....diff" wasn't successful.

Is there anything special to get this patch applied?
| stand/efi/loader/conf.c | ||
|---|---|---|
| 91 ↗ | (On Diff #108915) | The trouble is that we can't control for hypervisor vs non-hypervisor in our build. We build one loader.efi for aarch64, and the non-hypervisor code needs comconsole. It just uses the UEFI Serial interfaces, so in theory should support any device that provides a UEFI driver. It's not the same as the x86 comconsole which talks to hardware directly (yes, this is confusing) |
| stand/efi/loader/conf.c | ||
|---|---|---|
| 91 ↗ | (On Diff #108915) | That is why I kept this aarch64_hyperv to avoid comconsole in consoles list, till the time we are getting a ttyAMA support for comconsole |

I have tried patch < /mnt/resource/sandbox1/src/patch_arm.diff , and it has worked for me.
I have cloned the repo from github and applied the patch in main branch.

I have removed storvsc changes from here, as it will be reviewed through a separate bug. Also addressed the comments.

Stripping older large diff to smaller chunks. That way it will be easier to review.
This patch disables the comconsole from supported consoles list for ARM64 Hyper-V gen2 VM. The implementation
of comconsole in ARM64 loader.efi is not supported in Hyper-V gen2 VM at this moment. As Hyper-V only supports
ttyAMA0 for serial console in ARM64. Device "ttyAMA" refers to a UART with hardware part # PL011.
It's a UART that is specific to ARM processors.
In a Hyper-V VM on ARM64, "COM1" refers to a virtual PL011 UART that Hyper-V provides to the guest.
Set-VMFirmware -VMName <vm> -console COM1, adds a ACPI table for SPCR. After which using Set-VMComPort
we can access virtual serial console using putty.
In case of FreeBSD 13, enabling COM1 and setting VMComPort, make FreeBSD boot stuck during comconsole initialization itself
and no logs come in both vmconnect.exe and putty. So disabling the comconsole from the consoles list, till arm64 hyper-v is supported
allows the boot to progress and boot_serial/ boot_multicons to work for kernel log in putty and vmconnect.exe.

It seems the latest version of the patch only contains the loader modification part. Does it needs to be submitted in another change? Currently all the vmbus codes are gone, maybe that's the main part of this review?
Comment Actions
Updated loader.mk for the LOADER_AARCH64_HYPERV_SUPPORT.
Yes, all the vmbus related changes will be submitted as part of another review, as this is not related with vmbus but with ARM64 enablement of FreeBSD on Hyper-V, so put it as a separate review.
Once this and D36256 are approved, will put vmbus changes on review.

Please just create multiple reviews. It's a lot easier to review several smallish reviews at once rather than doing them serially. We'll likely get it into the tree faster if you do this.

Bug 266248 - efi comconsole does not work with ARM64 Hyper-V

Setting other values than default values cause hang during comc_setup. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266248

small nits still, but good otherwise, I assume, this code does work as expected now?

| 264 | As COMSPEED is replaced by 0, it is not used any more and can be deleted from beginning of the file. (in the future, please set up phabricator with more context, git arc can do it for you - see ./tools/tools/git). | |
| 265 | I think, the comments is a bit misleading here; perhaps use like /* default XXX from firmware */ -- we are not setting default port to 0, but we are asking to use value from firmware. Same for lines below. | |

Yes it is not hanging at loader prompt when we are using virtual serial console, and also set console="comconsole"
is working.
Comment Actions
Getting rid of default 9600 baud serial console is a good thing, we'll need to make sure this is widely documented in release notes etc.

| 263 | Actually, I have just found an qemu-system-aarch64 varaint, which did choke on these values... I did add a change to fight with it -- after we get handle to sio, we can set the values from sio->Mode, also add defaults for timeout and receivefifodepth, so we can use those values in comc_setup() (instead of 0's). | |

@tsoome Can you please share the patch, would like to test it on Hyper-V arm64 and x86. Thanks.
