runqemu: support UEFI with OVMF firmware
In the simplest case, "runqemu qemux86 <some-image> qcow2 ovmf" for an EFI-enabled image in the qcow2 format will locate the ovmf.qcow2 firmware file deployed by the ovmf recipe in the image deploy directory, override the graphics hardware with "-vga std" because that is all that OVMF supports, and boot with UEFI enabled. ovmf is not built by default. Either do it explicitly ("bitbake ovmf") or make it a part of the normal build ("MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS_append = ' ovmf'"). The firmware file is activated as a flash drive instead of using the qemu BIOS parameters, because that is the recommended method (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=764918#47) as it allows storing UEFI variables in the file. Instead of just "ovmf", a full path to an existing file can also be used, just as with the rootfs. That may be useful when making a permanent copy of the virtual machine data files. It is possible to specify "ovmf*" parameters more than once, then each parameter creates a separate flash drive. This way it is possible to use separate flash drives for firmware code and variables: $ runqemu qemux86 <some-image> qcow2 ovmf.code ovmf.vars" Note that rebuilding ovmf will overwrite the ovmf.vars.qcow2 file in the image deploy directory. So when the goal is to update the firmware while keeping variables, make a copy of the variable file and use that: $ mkdir my-machine $ cp tmp/deploy/images/qemux86/ovmf.vars.qcow2 my-machine/ $ runqemu qemux86 <some-image> qcow2 ovmf.code my-machine/ovmf.vars.qcow2 When Secure Boot was enabled in ovmf, one can pick that instead of the non-Secure-Boot enabled ovmf.code: $ runqemu qemux86 <some-image> qcow2 ovmf.secboot.code my-machine/ovmf.vars.qcow2 Signed-off-by: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly@intel.com>
