Commit Message

Igor Mammedov March 5, 2024, 3:57 p.m. UTC 
legacy mode doesn't support structures of type 2 and more,
and CLI has a check for '-smbios type' option, however it's
still possible to sneak in type4 as a blob with '-smbios file'
option. However doing the later makes SMBIOS tables broken
since SeaBIOS doesn't expect that.

Rather than trying to add support for type4 to legacy code
(both QEMU and SeaBIOS), simplify smbios_get_table_legacy()
by dropping not relevant check in legacy code and error out
on type4 blob.

 * The issue affects 'isapc' and pc-i440fx-2.0. the later is
   in deprecated state and to be dropped in near future
 * possibly the same issue applies to other SMBIOS types above type 1
   but I haven't tested that, and well tables that aren't
   generated by SeaBIOS can get be added just fine
   (tested type11 blob). So I went with a minimal change
   to fixup type4 only that I'm touching. Leaving the rest
   for other time or when someone complains about it, which is
   very unlikely given it's really only remaining isapc machine.

   I'd very much prefer to deprecate 'isapc' and then drop
   all legacy related code (it will benefit not only SMBIOS
   but other code as well).
   BTW: 'isapc' is in semi-dead, I cna't boot RHEL6 on it
   with KVM enabled anymore (RHEL9 host), TCG still boots though.
   One more reason to get deprecate it.
