Keir Fraser b08c16ec2f hvm bios: add PMM (a memory manager during POST)
The PMM (POST Memory Manager) offers malloc/free functionality
for PCI option ROMs during POST (Power On Self Test).

This patch adds a PMM functionality to the guest BIOS.

For example, the option ROM on LSI Logic SAS card uses PMM and
failed to initialize the device without PMM.  Thus, the HVM can't
boot up directly from the passthroughed SCSI disk.
gPXE also uses PMM (I don't know what happens without PMM).

With this patch, we succeeded in SAS boot of HVM.

For further information about PMM:

Keir Fraser d62f502aaa hvm: TCGBIOS fixes
Fix IPL measurement of El Torito CD boot and some eventlog formats.

The TCG BIOS extensions are described here:
https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/PCClient/TCG_PCClientImplementationforBIOS_1-20_1-00.pdf

- fix cdrom (El Torito) boot (8.2.5.6 El Torito, p63)
   tcpa_ipl() is modified to support various boot devices.
   move some measurement code into cdrom_boot() function.
- fix EV_IPL (0Dh) event (10.4.1 Event Types, p76)
   eventfield size should be zero
- fix EV_SEPARATOR event (3.2.2 Integrity Collection and Reporting,
   p32)
   change eventfield to -1 (0xFFFFFFFF)  from  "---------------"
- add "Returned INT 19h" event (8.2.3 Logging of Boot Events, p59)
   actually, tcgbios does not call int19h, but we extend this
   tentatively

kaf24@localhost.localdomain 2d52e184e5 [HVM] Add TCG BIOS extensions to the high memory area along with
some often-used libc utility functions. The TCG extensions are
described here:

https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/PCClient/TCG_PCClientImplementationforBIOS_1-20_1-00.pdf

I have tried to keep the patching with rombios.c to a minimum, but
some amount of code needs to be inserted at various locations.

The code is currently deactivated, but can be activated by setting
BX_TCGBIOS to '1'.

kaf24@localhost.localdomain dd59dfdfb1 This patch adds a 32bit gateway to the Bochs BIOS. The 32 bit code is
compiled with gcc and linked into the hvmloader as a byte-array.
Hvmloader allocates memory (rounded up to next 64kb) from the e820
table
below 4GB, copies and relocates the 32bit code in the allocated area
and
copies a jumptable (located in a section '.biosjumptable') pointing to
the 'exported' functions into the Bochs BIOS's memory area to link the
two code sections. The memory area has been reserved and can be
identified with the signature '___JMPT'.

In the Bochs BIOS only stub functions are provided. These load the
index
of a particular function in the jump table, switch to protected mode
and
call the function in the high memory area.  The stack is prepared such
that functions compiled by gcc can just pick the parameters from the
stack as usual - this means that the 16bit real-mode return address is
taken off the stack. The stub functions should have the same signature
as those in 32bit space. For ABI compatibility reasons parameters
inside
the Bochs BIOS stubs should all be 32bit wide.

This patch includes a test function that calls three gcc-compiled
functions in the high memory area and displays their success status.
Simple tests are done doing multiplication and addition of 32-bit
numbers and reading and modification of a static variable. These
functions test the interface and the relocation code. The test code is
removed in patch part 3.
