If ACPI blob length modifications happens after the initial
virt_acpi_build() call, and the changed blob length is within
the PAGE size boundary, then the revised size is not seen by
the firmware on Guest reboot. The is because in the
virt_acpi_build_update() -> acpi_ram_update() -> qemu_ram_resize()
path, qemu_ram_resize() uses ram_block size which is aligned
to PAGE size and the "resize callback" to update the size seen
by firmware is not getting invoked. Hence align ACPI blob sizes
to PAGE boundary.

re-read it again and it seems to me that this patch is workaround
rather than a solution to the problem.
CCing Michael as an author this code.

on x86 we have crazy history of manually aligning acpi blobs, see code under comment

  /* We'll expose it all to Guest so we want to reduce

so used_length endups with over-sized value which includes table and padding
and it happens that ACPI_BUILD_TABLE_SIZE is much bigger than host page size
so if on reboot we happen to exceed ACPI_BUILD_TABLE_SIZE, the next padded table
size (used_length) would be  2 x ACPI_BUILD_TABLE_SIZE which doesn't trigger
  block->used_length == HOST_PAGE_ALIGN(newsize)
condition so fwcfg gets updated value.

here it would depend on TARGET_PAGE_ALIGN vs HOST_PAGE_ALIGN relation
so depending on host it could flip it's behavior to opposite.

one thing we could do is dropping (block->used_length == newsize) condition
another is to use value of block->used_length for s->files->f[index].size.

Michael,
what's your take in this?

Thanks for taking a look at this. Yes, I was also not very sure about this approach
as the root cause of the issue is in qemu_ram_resize().

Yes, this is the reason why the issue is not visible on x86.

Ok.

I tried this before and strangely for some reason on reboot path,

virt_acpi_build_update() is called with build_state being NULL and no acpi_ram_update()
happens. Not sure what causes this behavior when we drop the above condition.

> another is to use value of block->used_length for s->files->f[index].size.


I just tried this by passing block->used_length to fw_cfg_add_file_callback() .
This could work for this case. But not sure there will be any corner cases
and also there isn't any easy way to access the mr->ram_balck->used_length from
hw/core/loader.c.

This is how(below) I tried to use the RAMBlock used_length for s->files->f[index].size.
As used_length is abstracted here, I had to introduce a new api to retrieve the
same. Please take a look and let me know if there is a better way of achieving this.

Thanks.
