Hello, recently I've found the-sea-watcher project and now I'm trying to repeat
it.
https://scumjr.github.io/2016/01/10/from-smm-to-userland-in-a-few-bytes/
But I have a strange problem when I trigger a SMI my VM instantly reboot. I use
that function to send SMI:
#define PORT_SMI_CMD 0x00b2
int main(void)
{
if (ioperm(PORT_SMI_CMD, 1, 1) != 0)
err(EXIT_FAILURE, "ioperm");
outb(0x61, PORT_SMI_CMD);
printf("done\n");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
I have rebuild SeaBios with CONFIG_DEBUG_LEVEL=8 and found out that SMI's
reboot VM with a rather big chance. This is a part of SeaBios log:
VBE current mode=3
stub vbe_104fXX:406:

handle_smi cmd=61 smbase=0x000a0000 //I send first
handle_smi cmd=61 smbase=0x000a0000 //and second SMI
In resume (status=0) //have reboot on third
In 32bit resume

SeaBIOS (version
rel-1.13.0-15-gde88a96-dirty-20200406_111431-test-Lenovo-ideapad-320S-13IKB)
BUILD: gcc: (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0 binutils: (GNU Binutils for
Ubuntu) 2.30
I've started to explore the source code, but I don't found anything that could
help me.
Can you give me an advice or a direction for my research?
Best regards.
