Ship the JSON firmware "descriptor files" From version 4.1 (due in August 2019) onwards, QEMU ships the so-called firmware "descriptor files". These are small JSON files that describe details about UEFI firmware binaries — such as the fimware binary path, its architecture, supported machine type, NVRAM template and so forth. You can see examples of these files from the QEMU upstream Git: https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=tree;f=pc-bios/descriptors $> tree descriptors/ descriptors/ ├── 50-edk2-i386-secure.json ├── 50-edk2-x86_64-secure.json ├── 60-edk2-aarch64.json ├── 60-edk2-arm.json ├── 60-edk2-i386.json └── 60-edk2-x86_64.json QEMU 4.1 itself will ship the above files. However, Fedora needs to ship these file as part of its EDK2 package. Why? ---- (1) Quoting (with minor formatting edits) Laszlo Ersek: Distributions providing their own EDK2 packages would not include the descriptors from upstream QEMU, even if they otherwise package QEMU. That's beause the descriptor files in QEMU match the firmware bundled with QEMU -- but the firmware images in the distros' own EDK2 packages are different. So, if a distro provides an EDK2 package, then the same EDK2 package should offer matching descriptors. QEMU offers descriptors (soon) because QEMU technically distributes edk2 firmware binaries (soon). [Where "soon" == QEMU 4.1] (2) And as Dan Berrangé reminded on IRC: In Fedora, we need to ship them [the "descriptor files"] as part of the EDK2 package, because Fedora throws away all the firmware files that QEMU bundles, because we're [Fedora] required to rebuild everything from pristine source. - - - In this patch: (*) Use the firmware descriptor files provided by Laszlo (thanks!) in this comment here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1728652#c2 ("RFE: Ship the JSON firmware "descriptor files" as part of EDK2").
