I think you can completely ignore PcdPciMmio64Size + PcdPciMmio64Base, you only must make sure mPhysMemAddressWidth is big enough ... Background story: On qemu there is no reliable way to figure what the size of the physical address space is. The reason for that a rather long story involving historical reasons, backward compatibility, live migration compatibility and probably more stuff which I forgot meanwhile. Those details don't matter here, the key takeaway is that ovmf tries to minimize it's physical address space needs because it just doesn't know how much it can actually use. PcdPciMmio64Size default is 32G, so a typical virtual machine fits into 64G address space (aka mPhysMemAddressWidth == 36), which is guaranteed to work on x64. This is also part of the plan ;) With the qemu q35 machine types the firmware initializes the host bridge, i.e. ovmf programs the host bridge to place the windows and the mmconfig xbar according to the PcdPciMmio64Base + PcdPciMmio64Size values ovmf figured during memory detection. The whole logic is pretty much moot though if the location and size of the mmio windows is dictated by the host and the guest can't change them anyway ... take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
