2015-04-14luv-test-manager: Reboot after tests completeHEADmasterMatt Fleming
For the purposes of wiring up LUV into an automated test environment, it's handy to have the machine automatically reboot after a configurable timeout period. It's important that we don't synchronously wait for the reboot to occur and continue to drop the user at a shell on the serial console, otherwise we'll lose one of the most useful methods of debugging. Read the timeout period, measured in seconds, from the EFI variable named LuvTimeout with GUID 3b6bf55d-a6f6-45cf-9f7e-ebf3bdadf74e. If the variable doesn't exist, use a default timeout value of 5 minutes. The reboot functionality can be disabled by specifying the "luv.noreboot" kernel command line parameter.

2015-04-14luv-test-manager: Add luv.halt cmdline option for powering offMatt Fleming
When running automated tests it's super handy to be able to power off the machine once the tests have completed. This signals to any monitoring processes/machines that results are ready to be inspected. If you've got a smart PDU you should be able to query it for the machine's status to know when it's off, but a poor man's solution would be to ping the machine and wait a couple of seconds extra once it disappears from the network.

2015-03-27core-image-efi-initramfs: populate /dev with makedevsRicardo Neri
Commit 1034518fa73b742e81f ("image.bbclass: default USE_DEVFS to '1'") sets USE_DEVFS to "1" so that makedevs is not used to populate the /dev directory. This because it will be populated by the kernel. However, this is only true for a final rootfs, not for an initramfs. LUV only uses an initramfs but still needs to have /dev populated. Thus, set USE_DEVFS as "0". See further info in the kernel's Documentation/early-userspace/README file. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>
2015-03-27fwts: uefirtvariable: allow larger sizes for variable namesRicardo Neri
The UEFI specification does not define the maximum length for the variable name. Thus, it may happen that some firmware implementations have variable names longer than 1024 characters. Rather than limiting the maximum size to 1024 characters, set the initial size to 1024 chars and enlarge as required. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>
2015-03-27fwts: get_nextvariable: copy only the needed name bytesRicardo Neri
We trust the name_size passed by the user_space. Thus, there is not need to copy from user more bytes than specified. Furthermore, this behavior could mask potential problems in the firmware: to start traversing the list of variable names, some firmware implementations may just blindly check if name[0] is '\0' without even checking if the size of the buffer passed by the operating system is at least 2 bytes (UEFI variable names are stored in strings of 2-byte characters). This behaviour is wrong as the firmware must not access memory beyond the name buffer. By providing a 1024-bytes buffer of zeroes we allow the name[0] == '\0' to pass, regardless of the size of the buffer. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>
2015-03-27fwts: Prevent dangerous copy to user when getting variablesRicardo Neri
The memory used to copy the variable name/data from userspace and back is supplied by the userspace. Thus, we must not write beyond the boundaries of the supplied memory. Otherwise, problems may arise (e.g., segmentation faults). However, the UEFI runtime service functions GetNextVariableName/ GetVariable can change the size of the memory if, for instance, the buffer is too small. The firmware could also be defective. Hence, only copy to the userspace the variable name/data if the UEFI functions return successfully. Also, in case there is a defect in the firmware, only copy to the userspace the variable name/data if the needed memory is less or equal to what the userspace provide.

2015-03-27fwts: Do not access userspace addresses from efi_runtime moduleRicardo Neri
This is a continuation from a work started on commit c2268a9b23a9048bad2040 (fwts: Copied the structure from userland locally in kernel space. )Data structures used by the FWTS' efi_runtime module are mostly collections of pointers. Such pointers still point to userspace addresses when used by the driver. Thus, it is wrong to dereference those pointers by accessing the members of the structures. Instead, make a deep local copy of the userspace structures and then individually access the userspace data with the put/get_user copy_to/from_user functions.

2015-03-27chipsec: utilize a git commit ID rather than a tagRicardo Neri

Chipsec is know to work well on various platform based on Broadwell and Haswell. It also ran correctly on HP Elite Book 8470p. But users are starting to ask for this test suite to be included in the LUV. There's no sense in disabling it entirely if it hangs on a specific platform as described in issue #7.

2015-03-27luv-test-parser: Add timestamp field to schemaMatt Fleming
Including a timestamp field in the output of the test results is useful for gathering performance data, i.e. how long did each unit test take to run. Increment the schema version to v1.1 while retaining backwards compatibility with v1.0. This allows parsers to be upgraded piece-meal to the new schema. Upgrading parsers individually is very powerful, since we don't currently have any way to gather timestamp data from BITS, and can't update the BITS parser to v1.1 of the schema right now.

2014-11-05luv: Manually flush stdout from gawkMatt Fleming
The internal buffering that gawk does makes the test output pretty useless, because it's not always possible to tell which test is currently running. For example, a test may have completed but the output will not appear on the screen until the output buffer fills and is subsequently flushed. Effectively all the unit test results from a single test suite are output as one block. The wakealarm test from fwts provides a good illustration of the user-visible problem. This test takes a number of seconds to complete, but because all the fwts results are output in one go, it's not possible to attribute delays to any one individual unit test. Explicitly flush all open file descriptors and pipes anytime that we print something from gawk. This gives much better user interaction when looking at the serial console because it's now possible to figure out which tests have the longest latencies. Whenever a unit test begins execution a message will be printed on the serial console immediately, e.g. [+] wakealarm... and when it finishes (in this case after multiple seconds) the result will be printed too, [+] wakealarm... passed Tested-by: Gayatri Kammela <gayatri.kammela@intel.com> Tested-by: Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
2014-11-05luv-test-manager: Write test results directly to consoleMatt Fleming
There's some latency somewhere in the test result pipeline, and it's impossible to trace noticable hangs when writing test results to the console to the offending unit test. Just simplify the pipeline, and pipe the result output directly to the console and results files instead of passing it through another instance of gawk before it hits the console, since hunting down buffer-related delays in gawk is extremely tedious. There's no user-visible change with this patch - it's preparatory work for a later patch that aggressively flushes the gawk output buffer.

This SVN revision has a fix for build failures under GCC 4.9 for x86_64 targets. This will ease eventual upstreaming of the OVMF recipe to Yocto master, which uses GCC 4.9. The bug is described on the EDK2 mailing list here: http://www.mail-archive.com/edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07451.html GCC 4.9 changed an alignment from 32 bytes to 64 bytes when building for a 64- bit target, whereas OVMF was built with the expectation that the alignment would be 32 bytes. This mismatch caused a build failure that looked like this: GenFw: ERROR 3000: Invalid Unsupported section alignment. SVN revision 15699 of EDK2 includes a fix for this issue by the upstream EDK2 developers.

edk2 does not lend itself to cross-compiling in any form.

The upside is that we get to drop a couple of patches we were carrying. The downside is that this is a terrible hack and will likely break when we move forward to newer edk2 versions. Until such time that BaseTools supports proper configuration of a build toolchain, this is the best we can do.
