V2: Not only support bit filed for EFI variable storage but also for buffer
storage.
And add sample questions to refer bit filed in buffer storage.
Did some code/logic refining work.
Proposal:
In VFR file, the storage of some Question may use Bit field in an EFI VarStore.
So we propose
to update VfrCompiler/SetupBrowser/HiiDatabase to support this usage model as
edk2 implementation
enhancement. It will allow EFI varstore has Bit fields, and
CheckBox/OneOf/Numeric VarId can refer
to Bit field. VFR syntax has no changes. VfrCompiler will create Question which
refers to Bit field
with a specific GUID opcode. If SetupBrowser doesn't recognize the GUID opcode,
it will skip those
Questions and show other Questions normally.
Detail changes:
Take the codes in edk2\MdeModulePkg\Universal\DriverSampleDxe as an example.
1.VfrCompiler:
(a) Enhance the VfrCompiler to parse the Data structure with Bit fields and
record the Offset/With(in bit level ) of the members(Bit Offset/ With).
Add data structure with bit fields in NvDataStructure.h file as below:
typedef struct {
UINT16 Field16;
UINT8 Field8;
UINT16 MyBits7 : 3; ///< Bits 2:0
UINT16 MyBits8 : 3; ///< Bits 5:3
UINT16 MyBits9 : 1; ///< Bits 6
} MY_BITS_VARSTORE_DATA;
(b) Keep the declaration of EFI VarStore with bit fields same with the normal
EFI VarStore, no syntax change in .vfr file.
In vfr.vfr file, declare the efivarstore with bit fields same with the
normal EFI VarStore
efivarstore MY_BITS_VARSTORE_DATA, // This is the data structure
type
attribute = EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS | EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE,
// EFI variable attribures
name = MyBitVar, //
Define referenced name in vfr
guid = DRIVER_SAMPLE_FORMSET_GUID; // GUID of this buffer storage
So VfrCompiler need to detect whether the data structure of this EFI
VarStore(MY_BITS_VARSTORE_DATA) contains bit field,
if yes, it's bit EFI VarStore, or it's normal EFI VarStore.
(c) For the Question which refer to Bit field of an EFI VarStore, VfrCompiler
will generate a GUID opcode to cover this Question.
numeric varid = MyBitVar.MyBits7,
prompt = STRING_TOKEN(STR_BIT_NUMERIC_PROMPT),
help = STRING_TOKEN(STR_NUMERIC_HELP0),
minimum = 0,
maximum = 7,
step = 0,
default = 5, defaultstore = MyStandardDefault, // This is standard
default value
default = 6, defaultstore = MyManufactureDefault, // This is manufacture
default value
endnumeric;
VfrCompiler generate a GUID opcode with a specified GUID value to cover the
numeric opcode
numeric varid = MyBitVar.MyBits7,
>0000024B: 5F 92 8B D6 DD 82 63 91 87 41 9B 27 20 A8 FD 60 A7 1D (Guid
opcode)
>0000025D: 07 A6 2D 00 37 00 06 00 02 00 48 00 00 13 00 00 00 00 07 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (numeric opcode)
prompt = STRING_TOKEN(0x002D),
help = STRING_TOKEN(0x0037),
minimum = 0,
maximum = 7,
step = 0,
default = 5, defaultstore = MyStandardDefault,
>00000283: 5B 09 00 00 02 05 00 00 00
default = 6, defaultstore = MyManufactureDefault,
>0000028C: 5B 09 01 00 02 06 00 00 00
endnumeric;
>00000295: 29 02 (end of numeric opcode)
>00000297: 29 02 (end of Guid opcode)
(d) Save Offset/ With info for Question CheckBox/OneOf/Numeric which refer to
Bit EFI VarStore.
Record the Bit Offset/ With info, the max Bit Width is 32
CheckBox: Bit width should always be 1 bit(VfrCompiler should report error
for other value).
Numeric/Oneof: Bit width can be saved in
EFI_IFR_NUMERIC.Flags/EFI_IFR_ONE_OF.Flags.
Bit Offset can be saved in EFI_IFR_QUESTION_HEADER. VarStoreInfo. VarOffset
Data type will be EFI_IFR_TYPE_NUM_SIZE_32 for BIT Numeric/Oneof.
2.SetupBrowserDxe: Need to get/set question value for Bit Questions correctly
Parse the Ifr data, if the GUID opcode with specified GUID value, means the
following Question's VarId refer to Bit field of an EFI VarStore.
Record the bit Offset/ With and the converted byte Offset/ With to generate
the ConfigRequest string.
When get/set Question value or get question default value, need to set/get
the value to/from specified bit offset and width.
3.HiiDatabaseDxe: Need to generate the ConfigAltResp for Bit Questions
correctly
Parse the Ifr data, if the GUID opcode with specified GUID value, means the
following Question's VarId refer to Bit field of an EFI VarStore.
Record the bit offset/ with and the converted byte Offset/ With.
When generating ConfigAltResp, need to merge the value of the same byte
Offset/ With base on the bit Offset/ With.
These are the POC codes (verify platform: Nt32). Thanks for your comments.
