Subject: [PATCH pve-manager v3 16/19] ui: qemu: allow selecting a custom EFI firmware image
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 11:12:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <be4429c43b05eb227e58d95813646f3ea0f13b7d.1793029144.git@genua.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793029144.git@genua.de>

Offer a custom EFI firmware image in the BIOS editor, as it is the
'firmware' sub-property of the 'bios' setting. The BIOS selector gains
an 'ovmf-custom' pseudo value, which maps to 'bios=ovmf,firmware=<volid>'
and reveals a storage and image selector. Choosing any other BIOS drops
the sub-property. The 'bios' hardware row shows a custom image as
'OVMF (custom), firmware=<volid>'.

Add helpers to parse and print the 'bios' property-string and use them
wherever the BIOS type is compared.

The image replaces the OVMF code image without touching the EFI vars
store, so only offer it for guests that load the firmware read-only
via '-bios' and have no vars store, i.e. confidential VMs. The API
stays general, so an image that is already set is always shown and can
be cleared, with a hint about the vars store when an EFI disk exists.
