Description

This protocol converts segment/selector and offset values into linear addresses. It also copies data to and from buffers specified with linear addresses.

ConvertSegOffsetRegToLinear()

Convert a segment/offset register to a linear address.

Prototype

EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *PHOENIX_SMM_CPU_CONVERT_SEGOFFREG_TO_LINEAR)(
    IN  UINTN                       CpuIndex, OPTIONAL

    IN  EFI_SMM_SAVE_STATE_REGISTER OffsetRegister,  OPTIONAL
    OUT EFI_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS         *LinearAddress
    );

Parameters

Parameter	Description
CpuIndex	A zero-based index associated with the the CPU to read the SegmentRegister and OffsetRegister registers from. The maximum value is calculated as EFI_SMM_SYSTEM_TABLE.NumberOfCpus – 1 (as described in the Tiano SMM CIS).
SegmentRegister	The CPU Register Enumerator specifying the segment/selector register to use. A value of zero indicates that this parameter will be ignored.
OffsetRegister	The CPU Register Enumerator specifying the offset register to use. A value of zero indicates that this parameter will be ignored. The zero-extended 32-bit register will be used if the CPU was running in real-mode, virtual 8086 mode or 32-bit protected mode outside of SMM. The 64-bit register will be used if the CPU was running in 64-bit mode outside of SMM.
LinearAddress	A pointer to the returned calculated linear address.

Description
This function finds the base address of the segment or selector register specified by SegmentRegister and adds it to the value of the register specified by OffsetRegister and updates the value pointed to by Linear, using register values from the CPU specified by CpuIndex.

If SegmentRegister is zero, then only the value of the register specified by OffsetRegister value will be returned in LinearAddress.

If OffsetRegister is zero, then only the base address of the segment/selector specified by SegmentRegister will be returned in LinearAddress.

If both SegmentRegister and OffsetRegister are zero then zero will be returned in LinearAddress.

Status Codes Returned

Status Code	Description
EFI_SUCCESS	Offset value calculated successfully. Offset points to the offset.
EFI_NOT_FOUND	The SegmentRegister or OffsetRegister register was non-zero but could not be read from the CPU save state.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	The value specified by SegmentRegister was not a valid offset into the GDT or LDT.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	LinearAddress is NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The CpuIndex specified is invalid.

  OUT EFI_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS        *LinearAddress
  );

Parameters

Parameter	Description
CpuIndex	A zero-based index associated with the CPU to retrieve the base address of the segment or selector from. The maximum value is calculated as EFI_SMM_SYSTEM_TABLE.NumberOfCpus – 1 (as described in the Tiano SMM CIS).
Segment	A 16-bit unsigned integer specifying the segment or selector value to be converted.
Offset	A 64-bit unsigned integer specifying offset to be added to the converted Segment value.
LinearAddress	A pointer to the returned calculated linear address.

Description
This function finds the base address of the segment or selector specified by Segment and adds it to the value of the offset specified by Offset and updates the value pointed to by Linear, getting the base address values of the segment or selector from the CPU specified by CpuIndex.

If Segment is zero, then only the value of the register specified by Offset value will be returned in LinearAddress.

If Offset is zero, then only the base address of the segment/selector specified by Segment will be returned in LinearAddress.

If both Segment and Offset are zero then zero will be returned in LinearAddress.

Status Codes Returned

Status Code	Description
EFI_SUCCESS	Offset value calculated successfully. Offset points to the offset.
EFI_NOT_FOUND	The Segment was non-zero but could not be retrieved the base address of the segment or selector.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	The value specified by Segment was not a valid offset into the GDT or LDT.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	LinearAddress is NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The CpuIndex specified is invalid.

ConvertLinearToPhysical()

Convert a linear address to a physical address.

Prototype

typedef 
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *PHOENIX_SMM_CPU_CONVERT_LINEAR_TO_SEGOFF)(
  IN  UINTN                CpuIndex,
  IN  EFI_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS   LinearAddress
  OUT EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS *PhysicalAddress,
  OUT UINTN                *NumBytesBeforeConversion OPTIONAL
  );

Parameters

Parameter	Description
CpuIndex	The zero-based index associated with the CPU to read the register from. The maximum value is calculated as EFI_SMM_SYSTEM_TABLE.NumberOfCpus – 1 (as described in the Tiano SMM CIS).
LinearAddress	The linear address specifying a 64-bit address to be converted.
PhysicalAddress	A pointer to the returned physical address.
NumBytesBeforeConversion	A pointer to an unsigned integer. On return, it holds the number of bytes after LinearAddress when another conversion will be required due to crossing a page table boundary.

Description
This function converts the linear address LinearAddress to the physical address PhysicalAddress.

If the CPU associated with CpuIndex was in a paging mode, then the page table will be used to make the conversion from linear to physical. In addition, NumBytesBeforeConversion will be updated to point to the number of bytes left in the current page.

For example, if the page size was 4KB and the address was 0x3FFFF, NumBytesBeforeConversion would be set to 1. If the CPU associated with CpuIndex was not in paging mode, then the page table will not be used and the physical address will be the same as the linear address. NumBytesBeforeConversion will be calculated as 0 – LinearAddress.

Status Codes Returned

Status Code	Description
EFI_SUCCESS	The function completed successfully.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	PhysicalAddress is NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The CpuIndex specified is invalid.

CopyToLinear()

Copy data from a buffer specified by a physical address to a buffer specified by a linear address, taking page boundaries into consideration.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Src	The physical address of the source data.
CpuIndex	A zero-based index associated with the CPU whose page tables will be used. The maximum value is calculated as EFI_SMM_SYSTEM_TABLE.NumberOfCpus – 1 (as described in the Tiano SMM CIS).

Size	The number of bytes to copy.

Description
This function copies Size bytes of data from the buffer at the physical address specified by Src to the buffer at the linear address specified by Dest, using the page tables from the CPU specified by CpuIndex. If the destination crosses a page table boundary, this is handled correctly. If there is no valid page for some or all of the destination, EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned, in which case some of the data may have been copied.

Status Codes Returned

Status Code	Description
EFI_SUCCESS	The function completed successfully.
EFI_DATA_ERROR	Some of all of linear addresses from Dest to Dest + Size – 1 had no valid page table entry.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The CpuIndex specified is invalid.
