Re: [Xen-devel] xen EFI boot and vga-passthrough

[Kristian Hagsted Rasmussen <kristian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I can't seem to find any information on vga-passthrough when booting through 
xen.efi, so I assume it should work. But I encounter a problem on a windows 7 
HVM that boots fine when dom0 is booted through MBR but fails when dom0 is 
booted through UEFI.

My system is:
DQ77KB motherboard with bios version 44
Core i7-3779T with VT-d
Intel HD graphics 4000

In the qemu log it seem like xen cannot reach the vga-bios. Is this a known 
problem when booting through xen.efi or is it a bug?

dm-command: hot insert pass-through pci dev
register_real_device: Assigning real physical device 00:02.0 ...
register_real_device: Disable MSI translation via per device option
register_real_device: Disable power management
pt_iomul_init: Error: pt_iomul_init can't open file /dev/xen/pci_iomul: No such 
file or directory: 0x0:0x2.0x0
pt_register_regions: IO region registered (size=0x00400000 base_addr=0xf7000004)
pt_register_regions: IO region registered (size=0x10000000 base_addr=0xe000000c)

setup_vga_pt: vga bios size (0x0) is invalid!
register_real_device: Setup VGA BIOS of passthroughed gfx failed!

Log file is attached.

Just compared a log file from efi boot to one from MBR boot and found this 
discrepancy between the two:
pt_register_regions: IO region registered (size=0x00400000 
base_addr=0xdfc00004) - MBR boot see last addr       0xdfc00004
pt_register_regions: IO region registered (size=0x00400000 
base_addr=0xf7000004) - EFI boot compare to MBR      0xf7000004

Kind regards Kristian Hagsted Rasmussen
