In commit8057622527("OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe: save fw_cfg boot script with QemuFwCfgS3Lib", 2017-02-23), we replaced the explicit S3 boot script manipulation in TransferS3ContextToBootScript() with a call to QemuFwCfgS3CallWhenBootScriptReady(). (Passing AppendFwCfgBootScript() as callback.) QemuFwCfgS3CallWhenBootScriptReady() checks for fw_cfg DMA up-front, and bails with RETURN_NOT_FOUND if fw_cfg DMA is missing. (This is justified as the goal of QemuFwCfgS3Lib is to "enable[] driver modules [...] to produce fw_cfg DMA operations that are to be replayed at S3 resume time".) In turn, if QemuFwCfgS3CallWhenBootScriptReady() fails, then OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe rolls back any earlier linker/loader script processing, and falls back to the built-in ACPI tables. (This is also justified because failure to save WRITE_POINTER commands for replaying at S3 resume implies failure to process the linker/loader script comprehensively.) Calling QemuFwCfgS3CallWhenBootScriptReady() from TransferS3ContextToBootScript() *unconditionally* is wrong however. For the case when the linker/loader script contains no WRITE_POINTER commands, the call perpetuated an earlier side effect, and introduced another one: (1) On machine types that provide fw_cfg DMA (i.e., 2.5+), QemuFwCfgS3CallWhenBootScriptReady() would succeed, and allocate workspace for the boot script opcodes in reserved memory. However, no opcodes would actually be produced in the AppendFwCfgBootScript() callback, due to lack of any WRITE_POINTER commands. This waste of reserved memory had been introduced in earlier commitdf73df138d("OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe: replay QEMU_LOADER_WRITE_POINTER commands at S3", 2017-02-09). (2) On machine types that lack fw_cfg DMA (i.e., 2.4 and earlier), TransferS3ContextToBootScript() would now fail the linker/loader script for no reason. (Note that QEMU itself prevents adding devices that depend on WRITE_POINTER if the machine type lacks fw_cfg DMA: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc-q35-2.4 -device vmgenid qemu-system-x86_64: -device vmgenid: vmgenid requires DMA write support in fw_cfg, which this machine type does not provide) Short-circuit an empty S3_CONTEXT in TransferS3ContextToBootScript() by dropping S3_CONTEXT on the floor. This is compatible with the current contract of the function as it constitutes a transfer of ownership. Regression (2) was found and reported by Dhiru Kholia as an OSX guest boot failure on the "pc-q35-2.4" machine type: http://mid.mail-archive.com/CANO7a6x6EaWNZ8y=MvLU=w_LjRLXserO3NmsgHvaYE0aUCCWzg@mail.gmail.com Dhiru bisected the issue to commit8057622527.
