Use smbios-entry-point-type='auto' for newer machine types as a workaround for Windows not detecting SMBIOS tables. Which makes QEMU pick SMBIOS tables based on configuration (with 2.x preferred and fallback to 3.x if the former isn't compatible with configuration)
Default compat setting of smbios-entry-point-type after series for pc/q35 machines: * 9.0-newer: 'auto' * 8.1-8.2: '64' * 8.0-older: '32' Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2008 Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov <imamm...@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ani Sinha <anisi...@redhat.com> Tested-by: Fiona Ebner <f.eb...@proxmox.com> --- hw/i386/pc.c | 2 +- hw/i386/pc_piix.c | 4 ++++ hw/i386/pc_q35.c | 3 +++ 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/hw/i386/pc.c b/hw/i386/pc.c index a8e8aa2ac8..cf16337341 100644 --- a/hw/i386/pc.c +++ b/hw/i386/pc.c @@ -1847,7 +1847,7 @@ static void pc_machine_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data) mc->nvdimm_supported = true; mc->smp_props.dies_supported = true; mc->default_ram_id = "pc.ram"; - pcmc->default_smbios_ep_type = SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_TYPE_64; + pcmc->default_smbios_ep_type = SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_TYPE_AUTO; object_class_property_add(oc, PC_MACHINE_MAX_RAM_BELOW_4G, "size", pc_machine_get_max_ram_below_4g, pc_machine_set_max_ram_below_4g, diff --git a/hw/i386/pc_piix.c b/hw/i386/pc_piix.c index ce6aad758d..cebf61d12c 100644 --- a/hw/i386/pc_piix.c +++ b/hw/i386/pc_piix.c @@ -531,12 +531,16 @@ DEFINE_I440FX_MACHINE(v9_0, "pc-i440fx-9.0", NULL, static void pc_i440fx_8_2_machine_options(MachineClass *m) { + PCMachineClass *pcmc = PC_MACHINE_CLASS(m); + pc_i440fx_9_0_machine_options(m); m->alias = NULL; m->is_default = false; compat_props_add(m->compat_props, hw_compat_8_2, hw_compat_8_2_len); compat_props_add(m->compat_props, pc_compat_8_2, pc_compat_8_2_len); + /* For pc-i44fx-8.2 and 8.1, use SMBIOS 3.X by default */ + pcmc->default_smbios_ep_type = SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_TYPE_64; } DEFINE_I440FX_MACHINE(v8_2, "pc-i440fx-8.2", NULL, diff --git a/hw/i386/pc_q35.c b/hw/i386/pc_q35.c index 45a4102e75..6fef3b17bb 100644 --- a/hw/i386/pc_q35.c +++ b/hw/i386/pc_q35.c @@ -369,10 +369,13 @@ DEFINE_Q35_MACHINE(v9_0, "pc-q35-9.0", NULL, static void pc_q35_8_2_machine_options(MachineClass *m) { + PCMachineClass *pcmc = PC_MACHINE_CLASS(m); pc_q35_9_0_machine_options(m); m->alias = NULL; compat_props_add(m->compat_props, hw_compat_8_2, hw_compat_8_2_len); compat_props_add(m->compat_props, pc_compat_8_2, pc_compat_8_2_len); + /* For pc-q35-8.2 and 8.1, use SMBIOS 3.X by default */ + pcmc->default_smbios_ep_type = SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_TYPE_64; } DEFINE_Q35_MACHINE(v8_2, "pc-q35-8.2", NULL, -- 2.39.3
