Subject: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH v4 0/2] UEFI Improvements
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 08:15:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240329131522.806983-1-papaluri@amd.com> (raw)
Patch-1: Introduces a fix for x86 arch which is ACPI-based to not get
into the path of fdt.
Patch-2: KUT UEFI-based guest may sometimes fail to exit boot services
due to a possible memory map update that might have taken place
between efi_get_memory_map() call and efi_exit_boot_services()
call. As per UEFI specification (2.10), we need to try and keep
updating the memory map as long as we get Invalid key failure.
=========
Changelog
=========
v3 -> v4:
* Dropped patches 3 & 4 from the series as they are not relevant to
UEFI improvements introduced in this patchset. This would aid in
easier review and upstreaming.
* Addressed feedback (Andrew)
* Included R-b tag from Andrew Jones.
v2 -> v3:
* Included R-b tag from Andrew for Patch-1.
* Updated patch-2 to not leak memory map information during
re-trials to efi_get_memory_map().
v1 -> v2:
* Incorporated feedback (Andrew, Mike, Tom)
* Updated patch-2 to keep trying to update memory map and calls to
exit boot services as long as there is a failure.
* Split Page allocation and GHCB page attributes patch into two
patches.
