Here's my mental image of the most recent opinions: - Paolo doesn't like the idea that QEMU raise the interrupt on all VCPUs. He suggests to do it in the firmware, somewhere. - Mike proposed SmmCpuFeaturesRendezvousEntry() in SmmCpuFeaturesLib wrt. "somewhere". - Jordan likes the idea that QEMU raise the interrupt on all VCPUs, but he doesn't like this exact method of requesting the broadcast. I like the idea that QEMU raise the interrupt on all VCPUs. I'd be happy to work on a knob different from APM_STS to enable the broadcast. But I'm also open to implementing it in the firmware, if we can find a reliable and fast way. Given that I don't have a crystallized preference for either approach, can you guys please work out an agreement, and tell me what to implement? I'd just like to move forward with this. Thanks Laszlo

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.
