[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/isa/lpc_ich9: inject SMI on all VCPUs if APM_STS == 'Q'

[Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>]

The generic edk2 SMM infrastructure prefers
EFI_SMM_CONTROL2_PROTOCOL.Trigger() to inject an SMI on each processor. If
Trigger() only brings the current processor into SMM, then edk2 handles it
in the following ways:

(1) If Trigger() is executed by the BSP (which is guaranteed before
    ExitBootServices(), but is not necessarily true at runtime), then:

    (a) If edk2 has been configured for "traditional" SMM synchronization,
        then the BSP sends directed SMIs to the APs with APIC delivery,
        bringing them into SMM individually. Then the BSP runs the SMI
        handler / dispatcher.

    (b) If edk2 has been configured for "relaxed" SMM synchronization,
        then the APs that are not already in SMM are not brought in, and
        the BSP runs the SMI handler / dispatcher.

(2) If Trigger() is executed by an AP (which is possible after
    ExitBootServices(), and can be forced e.g. by "taskset -c 1
    efibootmgr"), then the AP in question brings in the BSP with a
    directed SMI, and the BSP runs the SMI handler / dispatcher.

The problem with (1a) and (2) is that the BSP and AP synchronization is
slow. The above taskset + efibootmgr command takes more than 30 seconds to
complete on TCG, for example, because efibootmgr accesses non-volatile
UEFI variables intensively.

Therefore introduce a special APM_STS value (0x51) that causes QEMU to
inject the SMI on all VCPUs. OVMF's EFI_SMM_CONTROL2_PROTOCOL.Trigger()
can utilize this to accommodate edk2's preference about "broadcast" SMI.

SeaBIOS uses values 0x00 and 0x01 for APM_STS (called PORT_SMI_STATUS in
the SeaBIOS code), so this change should be transparent to it.

While commit 3c23402d4032 targeted correctness, this one aims at better
performance only.
