Currently QEMU describes initial[1] RAM* in SMBIOS as a series of
virtual DIMMs (capped at 16Gb max) using type 17 structure entries.
Which is fine for the most cases. However when starting guest
with terabytes of RAM this leads to too many memory device
structures, which eventually upsets linux kernel as it reserves
only 64K for these entries and when that border is crossed out
it runs out of reserved memory.
Instead of partitioning initial RAM on 16Gb DIMMs, use maximum
possible chunk size that SMBIOS spec allows[2]. Which lets
encode RAM in lower 31 bits of 32bit field (which amounts upto
2047Tb per DIMM).
As result initial RAM will generate only one type 17 structure
until host/guest reach ability to use more RAM in the future.
Compat changes:
We can't unconditionally change chunk size as it will break
QEMU<->guest ABI (and migration). Thus introduce a new machine
class field that would let older versioned machines to use
legacy 16Gb chunks, while new(er) machine type[s] use maximum
possible chunk size.
PS:
While it might seem to be risky to rise max entry size this large
(much beyond of what current physical RAM modules support),
I'd not expect it causing much issues, modulo uncovering bugs
in software running within guest. And those should be fixed
on guest side to handle SMBIOS spec properly, especially if
guest is expected to support so huge RAM configs.
In worst case, QEMU can reduce chunk size later if we would
care enough about introducing a workaround for some 'unfixable'
guest OS, either by fixing up the next machine type or
giving users a CLI option to customize it.
1) Initial RAM - is RAM configured with help '-m SIZE' CLI option/
implicitly defined by machine. It doesn't include memory
configured with help of '-device' option[s] (pcdimm,nvdimm,...)
2) SMBIOS 3.1.0 7.18.5 Memory Device — Extended Size
PS:
* tested on 8Tb host with RHEL6 guest, which seems to parse
type 17 SMBIOS table entries correctly (according to 'dmidecode').

QEMU for some time now uses SMBIOS 3.0 for PC/Q35 machines by
default, however Windows has a bug in locating SMBIOS 3.0
entrypoint and fails to find tables when booted on SeaBIOS
(on UEFI SMBIOS 3.0 tables work fine since firmware hands
over tables in another way)
Missing SMBIOS tables may lead to some issues for guest
though (worst are: possible reactiveation, inability to
get virtio drivers from 'Windows Update')
It's unclear at this point if MS will fix the issue on their
side. So instead of it (or rather in addition) this patch
will try to workaround the issue.
aka, use smbios-entry-point-type=auto to make QEMU try
generating conservative SMBIOS 2.0 tables and if that
fails (due to limits/requested configuration) fallback
to SMBIOS 3.0 tables.
With this in place majority of users will use SMBIOS 2.0
tables which work fine with (Windows + legacy BIOS).
The configurations that is not to possible to describe
with SMBIOS 2.0 will switch automatically to SMBIOS 3.0
(which will trigger Windows bug but there is nothing
QEMU can do here, so go and aks Microsoft to real fix).

currently smbios_entry_add() preserves internally '-smbios type='

into blob that eventually will be exposed to VM. And then later
QEMU adds default/'-smbios type' entries on top into the same blob.
It makes impossible to generate tables more than once, hence
'immutable' guard was used.
Make it possible to regenerate final blob by storing user provided
blobs into a dedicated area (usr_blobs) and then copy it when
composing final blob. Which also makes handling of -smbios
options consistent.
As side effect of this and previous commits there is no need to
generate legacy smbios_entries at the time options are parsed.

smp.sockets is the number of sockets which is configured by "-smp" (
otherwise, the default is 1). Trying to recalculate it here with another
rules leads to errors, such as:
1. 003f230e37 ("machine: Tweak the order of topology members in struct
CpuTopology") changes the meaning of smp.cores but doesn't fix
original smp.cores uses.
With the introduction of cluster, now smp.cores means the number of
cores in one cluster. So smp.cores * smp.threads just means the
threads in a cluster not in a socket.
2. On the other hand, we shouldn't use smp.cpus here because it
indicates the initial number of online CPUs at the boot time, and is
not mathematically related to smp.sockets.
So stop reinventing the another wheel and use the topo values that
has been calculated.

test_bit uses header->type as an offset; if the file incorrectly specifies a
type greater than 127, smbios_entry_add will read and write garbage.
To fix this, just pass the smbios data through, assuming the user knows what
to do. Reported by Coverity as CID 1487255.

This parameter is to be used in the processor_id entry in the type 4
table.
This parameter is set as optional and if left will use the values from
the CPU model.
This enables hiding the host information from the guest and allowing AMD
VMs to run pretending to be Intel for some userspace software concerns.

Since change dcf359832eec02 ("hw/smbios: fix table memory corruption with large memory vms")
we reserve additional space between handle numbers of tables 17 and 19 for
large VMs. This may cause table 19 to collide with table 32 in their handle
numbers for those large VMs. This change adds an assertion to ensure numbers
do not collide. If they do, qemu crashes with useful debug information for
taking additional steps.

The current smbios table implementation splits the main memory in 16 GiB
(DIMM like) chunks. With the current smbios table assignment code, we can have
only 512 such chunks before the 16 bit handle numbers in the header for tables
17 and 19 conflict. A guest with more than 8 TiB of memory will hit this
limitation and would fail with the following assertion in isa-debugcon:
ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Already started)
ASSERT /builddir/build/BUILD/edk2-ca407c7246bf/OvmfPkg/SmbiosPlatformDxe/SmbiosPlatformDxe.c(125): !EFI_ERROR (Status)
This change adds an additional offset between tables 17 and 19 handle numbers
when configuring VMs larger than 8 TiB of memory. The value of the offset is
calculated to be equal to the additional space required to be reserved
in order to accomodate more DIMM entries without the table handles colliding.
In normal cases where the VM memory is smaller or equal to 8 TiB, this offset
value is 0. Hence in this case, no additional handle numbers are reserved and
table handle values remain as before.
Since smbios memory is not transmitted over the wire during migration,
this change can break migration for large memory vms if the guest is in the
middle of generating the tables during migration. However, in those
situations, qemu generates invalid table handles anyway with or without this
fix. Hence, we do not preserve the old bug by introducing compat knobs/machine
types.

This is a minor cleanup. Using macro definitions makes the code more
readable. It is at once clear which tables use which handle numbers in their
header. It also makes it easy to calculate the gaps between the numbers and
update them if needed.

Rename the enums to match the naming style used by QAPI, and to
use "32" and "64" instead of "20" and "31". This will allow us
to more easily move the enum to the QAPI schema later.
About the naming choice: "SMBIOS 2.1 entry point"/"SMBIOS 3.0
entry point" and "32-bit entry point"/"64-bit entry point" are
synonymous in the SMBIOS specification. However, the phrases
"32-bit entry point" and "64-bit entry point" are used more often.
The new names also avoid confusion between the entry point format
and the actual SMBIOS version reported in the entry point
structure. For example: currently the 32-bit entry point
actually report SMBIOS 2.8 support, not 2.1.
Based on portions of a patch submitted by Daniel P. Berrangé.

Type 41 defines the attributes of devices that are onboard. The
original intent was to imply the BIOS had some level of control over
the enablement of the associated devices.
If network devices are present in this table, by default, udev will
name the corresponding interfaces enoX, X being the instance number.
Without such information, udev will fallback to using the PCI ID and
this usually gives ens3 or ens4. This can be a bit annoying as the
name of the network card may depend on the order of options and may
change if a new PCI device is added earlier on the commande line.
Being able to provide SMBIOS type 41 entry ensure the name of the
interface won't change and helps the user guess the right name without
booting a first time.
This can be invoked with:
$QEMU -netdev user,id=internet
-device virtio-net-pci,mac=50:54:00:00:00:42,netdev=internet,id=internet-dev \
-smbios type=41,designation='Onboard LAN',instance=1,kind=ethernet,pcidev=internet-dev
The PCI segment is assumed to be 0. This should hold true for most
cases.

The SMBIOS 2.1 entry point uses a uint16 data type for reporting the
total length of the tables. If the user passes -smbios configuration to
QEMU that causes the table size to exceed this limit then various bad
behaviours result, including
- firmware hangs in an infinite loop
- firmware triggers a KVM crash on bad memory access
- firmware silently discards user's SMBIOS data replacing it with
a generic data set.
Limiting the size to 0xffff in QEMU avoids triggering most of these
problems. There is a remaining bug in SeaBIOS which tries to prepend its
own data for table 0, and does not check whether there is sufficient
space before attempting this.

Common VM users sometimes care about CPU speed, so we add two new
options to allow VM vendors to present CPU speed to their users.
Normally these information can be fetched from host smbios.
Strictly speaking, the "max speed" and "current speed" in type 4
are not really for the max speed and current speed of processor, for
"max speed" identifies a capability of the system, and "current speed"
identifies the processor's speed at boot (see smbios spec), but some
applications do not tell the differences.
