Dear coreboot Community, Please note that we have an upcoming leadership meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 5, 2025. [1]
Kindly review the agenda and share your thoughts or suggest additional items you would like to discuss during the meeting. [2] Thank you. ## Current Agenda Items ### [Benjamin] Add support for sharing SMM with the payload * To support UEFI secure boot effectively, we need to perform the verify and write steps of its variables together, in SMM. Consequently, we propose a solution where coreboot ‘owns’ SMM (initialises and installs all its regular SMI handlers), and the payload is permitted to install its own SMI handlers within a dedicated SMRAM region that coreboot will call into (and return from) for payload-specific use-cases. While this was developed for EDK2, to support secure boot, note that it’s not UEFI-specific, and contains nothing specific to secure boot. This is a superior solution to one we proposed in 2023, called “Add support for calling SMM payloads.” [1](https://coreboot.org/calendar.html) [2](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NRXqXcLBp5pFkHiJbrLdv3Spqh1Hu086HYkKrgKjeDQ/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0) _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- coreboot@coreboot.org To unsubscribe send an email to coreboot-le...@coreboot.org
