Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> says: U-Boot can start and boot an OS in both qemu-x86 and qemu-x86_64 but it is not perfect. With both builds, executing the VESA ROM causes an intermittent hang, at least on some AMD CPUs. With qemu-x86_64 kvm cannot be used since the move to long mode (64-bit) is done in a way that works on real hardware but not with QEMU. This means that performance is 4-5x slower than it could be, at least on my CPU. We can work around the first problem by using Bochs, which is anyway a better choice than VESA for QEMU. The second can be addressed by using the same descriptor across the jump to long mode. With an MTRR fix this allows booting into Ubuntu on qemu-x86_64 In v3 some e820 patches are included to make booting reliable and avoid ACPI tables being dropped. Also, several MTTR problems are addressed, to support memory sizes above 4GB reliably. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250315142643.2600605-1-sjg@chromium.org/ |
