I think this approach is a good first approximation, but I think we can
refine it.
Rather than introducing a new directory, we should operate within
"OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformDebugLibIoPort".
(1) Please write a patch that replaces all instances of the string
"QEMU" with "hypervisor" in the following files:
- DebugLib.c
- DebugLibDetect.c
- DebugLibDetect.h
- DebugLibDetectRom.c
(2) Please write a patch for the following:
- move the PlatformDebugLibIoPortDetect() function definition to a
separate file called "DebugIoPortQemu.c",
- add the new C file to both existent INF files:
- PlatformDebugLibIoPort.inf
- PlatformRomDebugLibIoPort.inf
(keep the source file lists alphabetically sorted)
- from "DebugLibDetect.h", move the BOCHS_DEBUG_PORT_MAGIC macro
definition to "DebugIoPortQemu.c".
I think this patch can be called:
OvmfPkg/PlatformDebugLibIoPort: factor out debug port detection
After this patch, we well have two independent dimensions, for any
particular INF file:
- in PlatformDebugLibIoPortFound(), the library instance may or may not
cache the result of debug port checking
- in PlatformDebugLibIoPortDetect(), the library instance may abstract
the debug port detection method
(3) Please write another patch:
- introduce "DebugIoPortNocheck.c",
- implement PlatformDebugLibIoPortDetect() as "return TRUE",
- introduce a new INF file "PlatformRomDebugLibIoPortNocheck.inf", for
linking together:
- DebugIoPortNocheck.c
- DebugLib.c
- DebugLibDetectRom.c
This library instance will not cache the result of the detection, and
the detection will return constant TRUE.
(4) Then, this library instance can be put to use in OvmfXen.dsc
(together with setting the proper PCD value). The library instance can
be used in all firmware phases / module types.
Thanks,
Laszlo
