Similar to how OVMF implements this, add a FD definition for the varstore
firmware volume and the FTW areas. This can be used by host side tooling
to manipulate a pristine varstore before presenting it to the guest.

Side question: what host side tooling do you have in mind?

(1) Unlike under OvmfPkg, this include file doesn't just contain Layout Regions, it contains a full [FD] ("Flash Device Image") section. That's fine, but:

- since you reference OVMF in the commit message, this difference should be mentioned there,

- in the comment at the top of this new file, the "... with Layout Regions" is no longer precise. Please update it.

> +BaseAddress   = 0x04000000


(2) This has to be unified with the PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase PCD setting that is currently seen in the QEMU DSC files, or we'll go mad down the road.

In my opinion, the best way is to DEFINE a macro near the top of this file. Then reference that macro here, in the setting of the BaseAddress token, and also later, in the assignment to PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase.

For assigning PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase, there are actually three ways. (They are all documented in the FDF spec.)

* The simplest (but more limited) way is the following syntax:

BaseAddress   = $(VARS_BASE)|gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase

* The second, more complex (but more versatile) way is to employ a separate SET statement (also in this FDF include file):

BaseAddress   = $(VARS_BASE)
[...]
SET gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase = $(VARS_BASE)

* The third way will actually be the winner, and I'll come to it a bit later.

Finally, remove PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase from the DSC files whose FDFs pull in this FDF include file.

(3) Actually, now I suggest to DEFINE the following macros at the top of the file:

DEFINE VARS_BASE   = 0x04000000
DEFINE VARS_BLOCKS = 3
DEFINE BLOCK_SIZE  = 0x00040000
DEFINE VARS_SIZE   = ($(VARS_BLOCKS) * $(BLOCK_SIZE))
DEFINE SPARE_BASE  = (2 * $(BLOCK_SIZE))

(It is possible that the multiplications above will not work in all of the contexts below -- in that case, just open-code the products please, and add some comments.)

Then use these macros, for setting the above FD Tokens, like this:

BaseAddress   = $(VARS_BASE)
Size          = $(VARS_SIZE)
ErasePolarity = 1
BlockSize     = $(BLOCK_SIZE)
NumBlocks     = $(VARS_BLOCKS)

Furthermore:

> +0x00000000|0x00040000


(4) This should use $(BLOCK_SIZE) after the pipe symbol, *plus* assign PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase and PcdFlashNvStorageVariableSize at once.

The most compact form for that is:

0x00000000|$(BLOCK_SIZE)
gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase|gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableSize

(6) Please try:

$(SPARE_BASE)|$(BLOCK_SIZE)
gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageFtwSpareBase|gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageFtwSpareSize

> +#NV_FTW_SPARE

(7) I notice these DATA regions differ from those in OvmfPkg, and that makes sense. However, it's pretty hard to compare them manually.

- Can you please enumerate in the commit message what fields have been changed / recalculated?

- Can you please confirm that the generated FD file will match the contents of an originally zero-filled flash device that has just been formatted by NorFlashDxe?

.. I think you can go ahead and commit the first three patches separately (assuming Leif agrees with patch #1), and we can collaborate on this last patch separately, if you wish.

Thanks!
Laszlo

I am not sure, to be honest. Leif mentioned to me that Ubuntu cooked
up some code to create an initial varstore image, and sets variables
in it, but I don't know any of the details, In any case, it may not be
relevent to mention this so I can remove it.

I am not in a hurry, but if Leif is OK with them (#3 is against
ArmPlatformPkg as well), then there is no point in sending them out

It chokes at this reference already:

/home/ard/build/edk2/ArmVirtPkg/VarStore.fdf.inc(26): error 3000:
Invalid syntax/format
expected Hex base address near line 26, column 0: BaseAddress

so this is not going to fly.

I have adopted this for v2, but without the BLOCK_SIZE macro, since I
could not get that to work reliably either.

It's strange. If you check e.g. "OvmfPkgX64.fdf", we definitely use this
pattern:

[FD.OVMF]
BaseAddress   = $(FW_BASE_ADDRESS)
--
[FD.OVMF_VARS]
BaseAddress   = $(FW_BASE_ADDRESS)
--
[FD.OVMF_CODE]
BaseAddress   = $(CODE_BASE_ADDRESS)
--
[FD.MEMFD]
BaseAddress   = $(MEMFD_BASE_ADDRESS)

That's again strange! The OvmfPkg*.fdf files use this as well; just run:

git grep '|\$' -- OvmfPkg/'*fdf'

Something must be wrong with your macro definitions (perhaps due to the
way I relayed them to you?) The above methods definitely work. Perhaps
we should invite BaseTools people to help us debug this.

Thanks
Laszlo

As it turns out, the defines should go into the associated .DSC file,
in a [Defines] section. The .FDF parser tolerates the DEFINEs, but
ignores them.

So I tried putting the defines in ArmVirt.dsc.inc, which does work to
some extent: these expressions

  DEFINE VARS_SIZE   = ($(VARS_BLOCKS) * $(BLOCK_SIZE))
  DEFINE SPARE_BASE  = (2 * $(BLOCK_SIZE))

are rejected, and need to be open coded.

Since the only macro that is actually used more than once is
BLOCK_SIZE, and considering that moving these defines elsewhere and
open coding some of them defeats the purpose of using macros anyway, I
think it is better to go with my v2 (which Laslzo already indicated he
is ok with)

Thanks,
Ard.

Yes, as I've indicated, I'm fine to proceed with v2.

Just for curiosity's sake: can you try extracting the DEFINEs in
question to a separate *FDF* include file? That's how we use them in
OvmfPkg. Maybe the FDF parser in BaseTools will honor those macro defs
if their definition and their place of use are separated by an !include
directive in the FDF file.
