[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Remove legacy sysfw code

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Remove legacy sysfw code

[Paolo Bonzini]

The sysfw code to choose between ROM and flash BIOS was a bad idea,
because it triggered different behavior between TCG and KVM.  We
deleted the behavior in 1.5, but we left the code around because
it was close to the release.  Now it's time to delete it.

Hmm. I think we still need this to retain the 1.2-1.5 compatible
behavior. But, I think I maybe my kvm readonly series didn't properly
resurrect the pc_sysfw_flash_vs_rom_bug_compatible switch.

No, we shouldn't.  It only worked with TCG, and it is simpler to just
document to use -pflash (instead of -bios) to run OVMF.  The misfeature
was dropped (with this minor backwards incompatibility) on purpose.

It didn't (and its commit message failed to mention it tries).

Anyway, Paolo successfully argued for breaking backward compatibility:

This cleans up after 9e1c2ec (which accidentally left variable
pc_sysfw_flash_vs_rom_bug_compatible behind, value always zero), and

To be honest I didn't check it that thoroughly---I was just rebasing old

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] pc_sysfw: remove the rom_only property

[Paolo Bonzini]

With the new semantics of pc_sysfw (no -pflash implies "old-style" ROM setup,
-pflash implies "new-style" ROM setup), there is no need anymore for a compat
property.  Old machines simply will never use -pflash, and thus will always
use old-style setup.

QEMU 1.2-1.5 could use -pflash if kvm was not used.

"Old machines" actually referred to <=1.0.  This patch will not break
backwards compatibility with QEMU 1.2-1.5 as long as you always use -pflash.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] pc_sysfw: do not make it a device anymore

[Paolo Bonzini]

Move the code to hw/i386, the sole remaining property is available
as !pci_enabled.

separate change, and a better way to handle that situation.

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] pc_sysfw: do not make it a device anymore

command line.

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Remove legacy sysfw code

[Jordan Justen]

You seem to have a much better handle than I do on machine migration
and backward compatibility issues within QEMU.

One difference we'll see from this series is that...

With QEMU 1.2, an error would always be generated with:
qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc-1.2 -enable-kvm -pflash flash.bin

Whereas in QEMU 1.6 the same command may succeed if the kernel
supports the READONLY kvm feature.

Will one other result of this series be that basically any of the
older pc machines can now use -pflash?

Anyway, that doesn't seem like a big issue to me, so for the series:

Yes, that's it and it's fine (it's a new feature, it doesn't matter).
Similarly,

   qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc-1.0 -pflash flash.bin

will create flash while it would have failed in real QEMU 1.0.

The main difference is that with QEMU 1.2 this will use read-only flash:

   qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc-1.2

whereas in QEMU 1.6 the same command will always use BIOS, as has always
been the case with

   qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc-1.2 --enable-kvm

These semantics are much simpler to use and explain, and probably should
have been like that all the time.
