For example, firmware built 27# from the SeaBIOS project usually provides this interface. 28# 29# @openfirmware: The interface is defined by the (historical) IEEE 30# 1275-1994 standard. Examples for firmware projects that 31# provide this interface are: OpenBIOS and SLOF. 32# 33# @uboot: Firmware interface defined by the U-Boot project. 34# 35# @uefi: Firmware interface defined by the UEFI specification. For 36# example, firmware built from the edk2 (EFI Development Kit II) 37# project usually provides this interface. 38# 39# Since: 3.0 40## 41{ 'enum' : 'FirmwareOSInterface', 42 'data' : [ 'bios', 'openfirmware', 'uboot', 'uefi' ] } 43 44## 45# @FirmwareDevice: 46# 47# Defines the device types that firmware can be mapped into. 48# 49# @flash: The firmware executable and its accompanying NVRAM file are to 50# be mapped into a pflash chip each. 51# 52# @kernel: The firmware is to be loaded like a Linux kernel. This is 53# similar to @memory but may imply additional processing that 54# is specific to the target architecture and machine type. 55# 56# @memory: The firmware is to be mapped into memory. 57# 58# Since: 3.0 59## 60{ 'enum' : 'FirmwareDevice', 61 'data' : [ 'flash', 'kernel', 'memory' ] } 62 63## 64# @FirmwareTarget: 65# 66# Defines the machine types that firmware may execute on. 67# 68# @architecture: Determines the emulation target (the QEMU system 69# emulator) that can execute the firmware. 70# 71# @machines: Lists the machine types (known by the emulator that is 72# specified through @architecture) that can execute the 73# firmware. Elements of @machines are supposed to be concrete 74# machine types, not aliases. Glob patterns are understood, 75# which is especially useful for versioned machine types. 76# (For example, the glob pattern "pc-i440fx-*" matches 77# "pc-i440fx-2.12".) On the QEMU command line, "-machine 78# type=..." specifies the requested machine type (but that 79# option does not accept glob patterns). 80# 81# Since: 3.0 82## 83{ 'struct' : 'FirmwareTarget', 84 'data' : { 'architecture' : 'SysEmuTarget', 85 'machines' : [ 'str' ] } } 86 87## 88# @FirmwareFeature: 89# 90# Defines the features that firmware may support, and the platform 91# requirements that firmware may present. 92# 93# @acpi-s3: The firmware supports S3 sleep (suspend to RAM), as defined 94# in the ACPI specification. On the "pc-i440fx-*" machine 95# types of the @i386 and @x86_64 emulation targets, S3 can be 96# enabled with "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0" and disabled 97# with "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1". On the "pc-q35-*" 98# machine types of the @i386 and @x86_64 emulation targets, S3 99# can be enabled with "-global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=0" and 100# disabled with "-global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1". 101# 102# @acpi-s4: The firmware supports S4 hibernation (suspend to disk), as 103# defined in the ACPI specification. On the "pc-i440fx-*" 104# machine types of the @i386 and @x86_64 emulation targets, S4 105# can be enabled with "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0" and 106# disabled with "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1". On the 107# "pc-q35-*" machine types of the @i386 and @x86_64 emulation 108# targets, S4 can be enabled with "-global 109# ICH9-LPC.disable_s4=0" and disabled with "-global 110# ICH9-LPC.disable_s4=1". 111# 112# @amd-sev: The firmware supports running under AMD Secure Encrypted 113# Virtualization, as specified in the AMD64 Architecture 114# Programmer's Manual. QEMU command line options related to 115# this feature are documented in 116# "docs/amd-memory-encryption.txt". 117# 118# @amd-sev-es: The firmware supports running under AMD Secure Encrypted 119# Virtualization - Encrypted State, as specified in the AMD64 120# Architecture Programmer's Manual. QEMU command line options 121# related to this feature are documented in 122# "docs/amd-memory-encryption.txt". 123# 124# @enrolled-keys: The variable store (NVRAM) template associated with 125# the firmware binary has the UEFI Secure Boot 126# operational mode turned on, with certificates 127# enrolled. 128# 129# @requires-smm: The firmware requires the platform to emulate SMM 130# (System Management Mode), as defined in the AMD64 131# Architecture Programmer's Manual, and in the Intel(R)64 132# and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual. On 133# the "pc-q35-*" machine types of the @i386 and @x86_64 134# emulation targets, SMM emulation can be enabled with 135# "-machine smm=on". (On the "pc-q35-*" machine types of 136# the @i386 emulation target, @requires-smm presents 137# further CPU requirements; one combination known to work 138# is "-cpu coreduo,nx=off".) If the firmware is marked as 139# both @secure-boot and @requires-smm, then write 140# accesses to the pflash chip (NVRAM) that holds the UEFI 141# variable store must be restricted to code that executes 142# in SMM, using the additional option "-global 143# driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on". 144# Furthermore, a large guest-physical address space 145# (comprising guest RAM, memory hotplug range, and 64-bit 146# PCI MMIO aperture), and/or a high VCPU count, may 147# present high SMRAM requirements from the firmware. On 148# the "pc-q35-*" machine types of the @i386 and @x86_64 149# emulation targets, the SMRAM size may be increased 150# above the default 16MB with the "-global 151# mch.extended-tseg-mbytes=uint16" option. As a rule of 152# thumb, the default 16MB size suffices for 1TB of 153# guest-phys address space and a few tens of VCPUs; for 154# every further TB of guest-phys address space, add 8MB 155# of SMRAM. 48MB should suffice for 4TB of guest-phys 156# address space and 2-3 hundred VCPUs. 157# 158# @secure-boot: The firmware implements the software interfaces for UEFI 159# Secure Boot, as defined in the UEFI specification. Note 160# that without @requires-smm, guest code running with 161# kernel privileges can undermine the security of Secure 162# Boot. 163# 164# @verbose-dynamic: When firmware log capture is enabled, the firmware 165# logs a large amount of debug messages, which may 166# impact boot performance. With log capture disabled, 167# there is no boot performance impact. On the 168# "pc-i440fx-*" and "pc-q35-*" machine types of the 169# @i386 and @x86_64 emulation targets, firmware log 170# capture can be enabled with the QEMU command line 171# options "-chardev file,id=fwdebug,path=LOGFILEPATH 172# -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=fwdebug". 173# @verbose-dynamic is mutually exclusive with 174# @verbose-static. 175# 176# @verbose-static: The firmware unconditionally produces a large amount 177# of debug messages, which may impact boot performance. 178# This feature may typically be carried by certain UEFI 179# firmware for the "virt-*" machine types of the @arm 180# and @aarch64 emulation targets, where the debug 181# messages are written to the first (always present) 182# PL011 UART. @verbose-static is mutually exclusive 183# with @verbose-dynamic. 184# 185# Since: 3.0 186## 187{ 'enum' : 'FirmwareFeature', 188 'data' : [ 'acpi-s3', 'acpi-s4', 'amd-sev', 'amd-sev-es', 'enrolled-keys', 189 'requires-smm', 'secure-boot', 'verbose-dynamic', 190 'verbose-static' ] } 191 192## 193# @FirmwareFlashFile: 194# 195# Defines common properties that are necessary for loading a firmware 196# file into a pflash chip.

The firmware JSON files should be searched for in 316# three directories: 317# 318# - /usr/share/qemu/firmware -- populated by distro-provided firmware 319# packages (XDG_DATA_DIRS covers 320# /usr/share by default), 321# 322# - /etc/qemu/firmware -- exclusively for sysadmins' local additions, 323# 324# - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/firmware -- exclusively for per-user local 325# additions (XDG_CONFIG_HOME 326# defaults to $HOME/.config). 327# 328# Top-down, the list of directories goes from general to specific. 329# 330# Management software should build a list of files from all three 331# locations, then sort the list by filename (i.e., last pathname 332# component). Management software should choose the first JSON file on 333# the sorted list that matches the search criteria. If a more specific 334# directory has a file with same name as a less specific directory, then 335# the file in the more specific directory takes effect. If the more 336# specific file is zero length, it hides the less specific one. 337# 338# For example, if a distro ships 339# 340# - /usr/share/qemu/firmware/50-ovmf.json 341# 342# - /usr/share/qemu/firmware/50-seabios-256k.json 343# 344# then the sysadmin can prevent the default OVMF being used at all with 345# 346# $ touch /etc/qemu/firmware/50-ovmf.json 347# 348# The sysadmin can replace/alter the distro default OVMF with 349# 350# $ vim /etc/qemu/firmware/50-ovmf.json 351# 352# or they can provide a parallel OVMF with higher priority 353# 354# $ vim /etc/qemu/firmware/10-ovmf.json 355# 356# or they can provide a parallel OVMF with lower priority 357# 358# $ vim /etc/qemu/firmware/99-ovmf.json 359# 360# @description: Provides a human-readable description of the firmware. 361# Management software may or may not display @description. 362# 363# @interface-types: Lists the types of interfaces that the firmware can 364# expose to the guest OS.
