From: Michael Roth <michael.roth@amd.com>

Future patches for SEV-SNP-validated CPUID will also require early
parsing of the EFI configuration. Move the related code into a set of
helpers that can be re-used for that purpose.

arch/x86/boot/compressed/efi.c

should be good enough.

And in general, this patch is hard to review because it does a bunch of
things at the same time. You should split it:

- the first patch sould carve out only the functionality into helpers
without adding or changing the existing functionality.

- later ones should add the new functionality, in single logical steps.

Some preliminary comments below as far as I can:

No "return false" in the ACPI_TABLE_GUID branch above? Maybe this has to
do with the preference to ACPI_20_TABLE_GUID.

In any case, this looks silly. Please do the iteration simple
and stupid without the function pointer and get rid of that
efi_foreach_conf_entry() thing - this is not firmware.

There's no need for the "_bp_" - just efi_get_system_table(). Ditto for
the other naming.

I'll review the rest properly after you've split it.

Thx.

Hi Boris,

Thanks for reviewing. Just FYI, Brijesh is prepping v5 to post soon, and I
will work to get all your comments addressed as part of that, but there has
also been a change to the CPUID handling in the #VC handlers in case you
wanted to wait for that to land.

Not sure what you mean here. All the interfaces introduced here are used
by acpi.c. There is another helper added later (efi_bp_find_vendor_table())
in "enable SEV-SNP-validated CPUID in #VC handler", since it's not used
here by acpi.c.

Right, current acpi.c keeps searching in case the preferred
ACPI_20_TABLE_GUID is found.

There is the aforementioned efi_bp_find_vendor_table() that does the
simple iteration, but I wasn't sure how to build the "find one of these,
but this one is preferred" logic into it in a reasonable way.

I could just call it once for each of these GUIDs though. I was hesitant
to do so since it's less efficient than existing code, but if it's worth
it for the simplification then I'm all for it.

So I'll pull efi_bp_find_vendor_table() into this patch, rename to
efi_find_vendor_table(), and drop efi_foreach_conf_entry() in favor
of it.

There used to also be an efi_get_conf_table() that did the lookup given
a direct pointer to systab rather than going through bootparams, so I
needed some way to differentiate, but looks like I dropped that at some
point, so I'll rename these as suggested.

Maybe I got confused by the amount of changes in a single patch. I'll
try harder with your v5. :)

Instead of efi_foreach_conf_entry() you simply do a bog-down simple
loop and each time you stop at a table, you examine it and overwrite
pointers, if you've found something better.

With "overwrite pointers" I mean you cache the pointers to those conf
tables you iterate over and dig out so that you don't have to do it a
second time. That is, *if* you need them a second time. I believe you
call at least efi_bp_get_conf_table() twice... you get the idea.

Yeah, this is executed once during boot so I don't think you can make it
more efficient than a single iteration over the config table blobs.

I hope that makes more sense.

Sorry I'm still a little confused on how to determine "something better",
since it's acpi.c that decides which GUID is preferred, whereas
efi_find_vendor_table() is a library function with no outside knowledge
other than its arguments, so to return the preferred pointer it would need
both/multiple GUIDs passed in as arguments, wouldn't it? (or a callback)

Another alternative is something like what
drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c:common_tables does, where interesting table
GUIDs are each associated with a pointer, and all the pointers can then
be initialized with to the corresponding table address with a single pass.
But would need to be careful to re-initialize those pointers when BSS gets
cleared, or declare them in __section(".data"). Is that closer to what
you were thinking?

In v5, I've simplified things to just call efi_find_vendor_table() once
for ACPI_20_TABLE_GUID, then once for ACPI_TABLE_GUID if that's not
available. So definitely doesn't sound like what you are suggesting here,
but does at least simplify code and gets rid of the efi_foreach* stuff. But
happy to rework things if you had something else in mind.

Ok, thanks. Lemme get to that version and I'll holler if something's
still bothering me.
