New since v1:
- expose control register size (suggested by Marc Marí)
- leaving out _UID and _STA fields (thanks Shannon & Igor)
- using "QEMU0002" as the value of _HID (thanks Michael)
- added documentation blurb to docs/specs/fw_cfg.txt
(mainly to record usage of the "QEMU0002" string with fw_cfg).
Thanks,

Expose the size of the control register (FW_CFG_SIZE, renamed to
FW_CFG_CTL_SIZE) in fw_cfg.h.
Add comment to fw_cfg_io_realize() pointing out that since the
8-bit data register is always subsumed by the 16-bit control
register in the port I/O case, we use the control register width
as the *total* width of the port I/O region reserved for the device.

Add a fw_cfg device node to the ACPI SSDT. While the guest-side
BIOS can't utilize this information (since it has to access the
hard-coded fw_cfg device to extract ACPI tables to begin with),
having fw_cfg listed in ACPI will help the guest kernel keep a
more accurate inventory of in-use IO port regions.

Add a fw_cfg device node to the ACPI DSDT. This is mostly
informational, as the authoritative fw_cfg MMIO region(s)
are listed in the Device Tree. However, since we are building
ACPI tables, we might as well be thorough while at it...

I sent a reply to v1 a few minutes before seeing v2. Copying it here for
reference:
Is this function ever going to be called without fw_cfg set?
acpi_setup() returns immediately if fw_cfg isn't available.
Also, this changes guest ABI, so you will need to add some compat flag
to PCMachineClass indicating if the device node should be added.

You're right, build_ssdt() is called from acpi_build(), which is
called directly from acpi_setup(), and also indirectly via
acpi_build_update() via acpi_add_rom_blob(), but all that eventually
ties back to acpi_setup(), *after* it already established that
guest_info->fw_cfg is non-NULL.

So I'll replace the "if (guest_info->fw_cfg)" check with
"if machine-type >= (pc-q35-2.5 or pc-i440fx-2.5))", in v3,
as soon as the patches for the 2.5 machine type make it into
git master (I remember seeing a reviewed-by fly by for that
earlier today :)
Thanks much,

Sounds good, assuming you are going to implement the "machine-type >= pc-2.5"
check with something like: PC_MACHINE_GET_CLASS(machine)->acpi_no_fw_cfg_node.

Thanks, that gives me something to grep for ;)
I was going to mimic how other acpi related decisions are made on pc
(piix or q35), something like below. Might even be the same thing,
once I learn about PC_MACHINE_GET_CLASS :)

OK, so not exactly the same thing. What's the trade-off between
adding a boolean field to PCMachineClass vs. PcGuestInfo? Either
would work technically, and PcGuestInfo already has a bunch of
acpi related booleans. But if the new canonical place for this
kind of thing is PCMachineClass rather than PcGuestInfo, it's OK
with me...
Please advise.
Thanks,

This looks fine to me. But from what you said, the kernel driver is not
in upstream kernel yet, so this would be applied after the kernel patch
applied in case of unexpected change.

I guess that's ok if you're only talking about the arm side of things
-- although I can't imagine how any of the above would need to change
depending on what happens with the guest-side kernel sysfs driver...
We're talking a node name ("FWCF"), a _HID ("QEMU0002"), and a mmio
region (given to us by memmap[VIRT_FW_CFG]), and that's all there is
to it...
However, on the i386 side, this needs to go in *before* I can continue
working on the guest-side kernel sysfs drivers. One of the
requirements I got was not to probe IOports or MMIO registers blindly,
but rather to use DT on arm and ACPI on i386 to first make sure fw_cfg
is expected to be there, before tickling its registers :)
So I need (at least the i386 part of) this series in qemu before I can
move ahead with the (guest) kernel driver...

The underlying requirement here is "we don't want patches until
the ABI is fixed". For ACPI and DTB on ARM the final arbiter of
the ABI seems to be the kernel (partly because the reviewers there
are better informed with the overall ACPI/DTB requirements).
I don't know who the final arbiter of the ACPI ABI for x86 is.
We've already had a couple of issues with problems with the ACPI
ABI for what appear to be very simple "just some registers and
an interrupt" type devices, including "is this the correct HID?".

Why can't you work on your guest kernel driver using a set of
out-of-tree QEMU patches to test it with?

OK, assuming part of upstreaming a potential fw_cfg sysfs driver
includes bickering over whether "QEMU0002" should or shouldn't be the
correct _HID, then yeah, keeping this stuff out-of-tree until that's
settled feels like the right thing to do...

As long as I don't get "convince the qemu guys first, then come back
and talk to us" from the kernel people as well, that should be OK with
me :) :)
I'd still appreciate feedback here in the mean time (e.g. once I do v3
to conditionally include fw_cfg only on >= 2.5, per Eduardo's
suggestion), and whatever else it would take to get the series ready
for acceptance (modulo the kernel naming convention negotiations
you're anticipating).
Thanks a ton,

PCGuestInfo is initialized only when pc_init1() is called and we are
already initializing a machine. PCMachineClass is initialized when the
corresponding machine_options() is called at class_init time. Keeping
machine-specific compat info at PCMachineClass will allow us to move
that information somewhere else more easily in the future (and allow us
to avoid needing new global variables and new pc_compat_*() functions).
See how PCMachineClass::broken_reserved_end gets used, for reference.
