Specifically before running lzma uncompress of the main firmware volume.
This is needed to make sure caching is enabled, otherwise the uncompress
can be extremely slow.
Adapt the ASSERTs and MTRR setup in PlatformInitLib to the changes.
Background: Depending on virtual machine configuration kvm may uses EPT
memory types to apply guest MTRR settings. In case MTRRs are disabled
kvm will use the uncachable memory type for all mappings. Here is the
linux kernel function handling this:
static u8 vmx_get_mt_mask(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, gfn_t gfn, bool is_mmio)
{
/* We wanted to honor guest CD/MTRR/PAT, but doing so could result in
* memory aliases with conflicting memory types and sometimes MCEs.
* We have to be careful as to what are honored and when.
*
* For MMIO, guest CD/MTRR are ignored. The EPT memory type is set to
* UC. The effective memory type is UC or WC depending on guest PAT.
* This was historically the source of MCEs and we want to be
* conservative.
*
* When there is no need to deal with noncoherent DMA (e.g., no VT-d
* or VT-d has snoop control), guest CD/MTRR/PAT are all ignored. The
* EPT memory type is set to WB. The effective memory type is forced
* WB.
*
* Otherwise, we trust guest. Guest CD/MTRR/PAT are all honored. The
* EPT memory type is used to emulate guest CD/MTRR.
*/
if (is_mmio)
return MTRR_TYPE_UNCACHABLE << VMX_EPT_MT_EPTE_SHIFT;
if (!kvm_arch_has_noncoherent_dma(vcpu->kvm))
return (MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK << VMX_EPT_MT_EPTE_SHIFT) |
VMX_EPT_IPAT_BIT;
if (kvm_read_cr0_bits(vcpu, X86_CR0_CD)) {
if (kvm_check_has_quirk(vcpu->kvm, KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED))
return MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK << VMX_EPT_MT_EPTE_SHIFT;
else
return (MTRR_TYPE_UNCACHABLE << VMX_EPT_MT_EPTE_SHIFT) |
VMX_EPT_IPAT_BIT;
}
return kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type(vcpu, gfn) <<
VMX_EPT_MT_EPTE_SHIFT;
}
In most VM configurations kvm_arch_has_noncoherent_dma() evaluate to
false, so kvm uses MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK. In case the VM has a mdev device
assigned that is not the case though.
Before commit e8aa4c6546ad ("UefiCpuPkg/ResetVector: Cache Disable
should not be set by default in CR0") the function also ended up using
MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK thanks to KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED. After that
commit kvm actually evaluates mtrr settings via
kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type().
