On my laptop running at 2.4GHz, if I run a VM where tsc calibration
using pmtimer will fail presuming a broken pmtimer, it takes ~51 seconds
to do so (as measured with the stopwatch on my phone), with a tsc delta
of 0x1cd1c85300, or around 125 billion cycles.
If instead of trying to wait for 5-200ms to show up on the pmtimer, we
try to wait for 5-200us, it decides it's broken in ~0x2626aa0 TSCs, aka
~2.4 million cycles, or more or less instantly.
Additionally, this reading the pmtimer was returning 0xffffffff anyway,
and that's obviously an invalid return. I've added a check for that and
0 so we don't bother waiting for the test if what we're seeing is dead
pins with no response at all.
If "debug" includes "pmtimer", you will see one of the following three
outcomes. If pmtimer gives all 0 or all 1 bits, you will see:
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 1
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 2
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 3
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 4
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 5
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 6
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 7
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 8
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 9
pmtimer: 0xffffff bad_reads: 10
timer is broken; giving up.
This outcome was tested using qemu+kvm with UEFI (OVMF) firmware and
these options: -machine pc-q35-2.10 -cpu Broadwell-noTSX
If pmtimer gives any other bit patterns but is not actually marching
forward fast enough to use for clock calibration, you will see:
pmtimer delta is 0x0 (1904 iterations)
tsc delta is implausible: 0x2626aa0
This outcome was tested using GRUB patched to not ignore bad reads using
qemu+kvm with UEFI (OVMF) firmware, and these options:
-machine pc-q35-2.10 -cpu Broadwell-noTSX
If pmtimer actually works, you'll see something like:
pmtimer delta is 0xdff
tsc delta is 0x278756
This outcome was tested using qemu+kvm with UEFI (OVMF) firmware, and
these options: -machine pc-i440fx-2.4 -cpu Broadwell-noTSX
I've also tested this outcome on a real Intel Xeon E3-1275v3 on an Intel
Server Board S1200V3RPS using the SDV.RP.B8 "Release" build here:

The GRUB is failing to build with GCC-12 in many places like this:
In function 'init_cbfsdisk',
inlined from 'grub_mod_init' at ../../grub-core/fs/cbfs.c:391:3:
../../grub-core/fs/cbfs.c:345:7: error: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of 'grub_uint32_t[0]' {aka 'unsigned int[]'} [-Werror=array-bounds]
345 | ptr = *(grub_uint32_t *) 0xfffffffc;
| ~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is caused by GCC regression in 11/12 [1]. In a nut shell, the
warning is about detected invalid accesses at non-zero offsets to NULL
pointers. Since hardwired constant address is treated as NULL plus an
offset in the same underlying code, the warning is therefore triggered.
Instead of inserting #pragma all over the places where literal pointers
are accessed to avoid diagnosing array-bounds, we can try to borrow the
idea from Linux kernel that the absolute_pointer() macro [2][3] is used
to disconnect a pointer using literal address from it's original object,
hence GCC won't be able to make assumptions on the boundary while doing
pointer arithmetic. With that we can greatly reduce the code we have to
cover up by making initial literal pointer assignment to use the new
wrapper but not having to track everywhere literal pointers are
accessed. This also makes code looks cleaner.
Please note the grub_absolute_pointer() macro requires to be invoked in
a function as long as it is compound expression. Some global variables
with literal pointers has been changed to local ones in order to use
grub_absolute_pointer() to initialize it. The shuffling is basically done
in a selective and careful way that the variable's scope doesn't matter
being local or global, for example, the global variable must not get
modified at run time throughout. For the record, here's the list of
global variables got shuffled in this patch:
grub-core/commands/i386/pc/drivemap.c:int13slot
grub-core/term/i386/pc/console.c:bios_data_area

commit 92bfc33db984 ("efi: Free malloc regions on exit")
introduced memory freeing in grub_efi_fini(), which is
used not only by exit path but by halt/reboot one as well.
As result of memory freeing, code and data regions used by
modules, such as halt, reboot, acpi (used by halt) also got
freed. After return to module code, CPU executes, filled
by UEFI firmware (tested with edk2), 0xAFAFAFAF pattern as
a code. Which leads to #UD exception later.

want to have some sort of mechanism for choosing which events get logged

use pmtimer for calibration. Moreover pmtimer calibration is faster, so
use it on coreboor where booting time is important.
