Hi Daniel, That's correct -- I believe this [1] patch on the OpenSBI mailing list addresses this issue. I am currently waiting for it to be reviewed.

I'm not convinced this is something we want though. A user can dump the QEMU DTB and edit it to support OpenSBI domains if they want. My worry is that the command line method is complex for users to get right and will be fragile and prone to breakage as parts of QEMU's DTB changes. Also, how are users supposed to know what options to use?

In that sense, I've found generating the correct flags is easier rather than manually editing or generating several dozen device tree files for each test configuration. I take your point that these flags are hard to get right, and there may be more user-friendly ways to do this. FWIW, I that this will only rarely break if QEMU's DTB changes -- the only part that really depends on QEMU's DTB (rather than just adding new information to it) is the device-linking part for memregions, and it gives a loud, direct error if it cannot find the user-specified device. > Also, how are users supposed to know what options to use?

Maybe some unit tests would help here as well, to make sure we catch the error when the change happens. Alistair

If some generation is needed, then maybe we need a script, possibly one which has the same command line inputs as proposed here. afaik, we haven't typically taken patches which help overlay the generated devicetree with additional nodes. For example, see [1] for one such proposal and rejection. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210926183410.256484-1-sjg@chromium.org/ Thanks, drew

After reading through that chain, I can see that there is typically high resistance to guest-specific device tree patches. As such, I'll probably abandon this patch series rather than doing more work to clean it up. I do wonder why there is so much resistance to these types of changes when the need for them arises so often in various boot firmwares. Thanks, Gregor
