Yes, it is part of the PCI I/O protocol definition. FrameBufferBase is described as """ Base address of graphics linear frame buffer. Info contains information required to allow software to draw directly to the frame buffer without using Blt().Offset zero in FrameBufferBase represents the upper left pixel of the display. """I just tried AMD Radeon and NVidia graphics cards on a system with non-1:1 mapped MMIO windows, and in both cases, the GOP protocol structure is populated correctly, i.e., using the CPU address not the PCIe address. EDK2 only recently gained support for MMIO translation in the host bridge driver, so I so wonder if this is a platform issue rather than a driver issue. It may be worth a try to dump the results of GetBarAttributes() of all PCI I/O protocol instances (either in UEFI or in the stub), to double check that the correct values are returned.Thanks for checking out other platforms. I'll mark the issue as a BIOS issue and bounce your feedback to the BIOS provider.I screwed up my testing, unfortunately. Both the public AMD GOP driver I tried, and the Nvidia GT218 under x86 emulation break when using MMIO translation. However, GraphicsOutputDxe in the EDK2 tree gets it right, and uses PciIo->GetBarAttributes() to get the address of the framebuffer region, which will return the CPU address not the PCI address.quoted
Let's hold onto this patch for the moment.Yes. I'd like to get this resolved as well, but if the drivers are dereferencing BAR values as CPU addresses, this is unlikely to be the only thing that is broken under outbound translation.Note that this was fixed fairly recently in EDK2, so BIOS vendors providing UEFI firmware for ARM platforms with outbound MMIO translation should probably incorporate this EDK2 patch commit dc080d3b61e570e7a3163fc24afa6f8388d0c0bf Author: Heyi Guo [off-list ref] Date: Thu Feb 8 11:13:27 2018 +0800 MdeModulePkg/PciBus: return CPU address for GetBarAttributes According to UEFI spec 2.7, PciIo->GetBarAttributes should return host address (CPU view ddress) rather than device address (PCI view address), and device address = host address + address translation offset, so we subtract translation from device address before returning. Note that this is not the only MMIO translation related change made by Heyi Guo to the generic PCI host bridge and bus drivers, but given that those did not support MMIO translation at all, I take it your affected platforms will already have their own changes to accommodate this.
Platform has been doing mmio translation for quite a while. Because all accesses go through pci io protocol, the rest of the UEFI never needed to be aware of bar address or do direct access. This is the first time I hear of direct access. Maybe, GOP is a special case. I started copying your response to the bios vendor. They are probably missing that patch. I will pass it along.
