(1) The formula seen here is indeed correct, IMO, for expressing the PA,
*mathematically speaking*. To explain it to myself, I used a different
formulation:

- "(Ptr - mFlashBase)" is the relative offset into the flash, where both
"Ptr" and "mFlashBase" are virtual addresses -- the subtraction
basically undoes a part of QemuFlashPtr(),

- and then that relative offset is added to mFlashBasePhysical:

  mFlashBasePhysical + (Ptr - mFlashBase)

Mathematically, this is exactly the sum that's in your code too, but I
think this formulation is easier to understand. Upon reading the commit
message, I didn't understand the goal of the (virtual - physical) shift,
until I saw the formula.

Would you agree to reword the commit message accordingly (the last
paragraph)?


(2) Although mathematically the PtrPa calculation is OK, the C
expression itself is not so nice. It contains a subtraction between
pointers that do not (necessarily) point into the same array (or one
past the last element in the same array). Such a subtraction is
undefined behavior.

But, I'll address this below, as a part of point (3).


(3) It should be possible to implement this change within
"QemuFlashDxe.c"; not having any effect on the SMM build of the driver.

(3a) I suggest introducing the following variable to "QemuFlashDxe.c":

  STATIC EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS mSevEsFlashPhysBase;

(3b) The following should be prepended to the body of
QemuFlashConvertPointers():

  if (MemEncryptSevEsIsEnabled ()) {
    mSevEsFlashPhysBase = (UINTN)mFlashBase;
  }

(QemuFlashConvertPointers() is called from
FvbVirtualAddressChangeEvent(), in "FwBlockServiceDxe.c", which is the
event notification function for SetVitualAddressMap().)

(3c) I propose the following for the SEV-ES branch of
QemuFlashPtrWrite(), in "QemuFlashDxe.c":

  EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS PhysAddr;

  if (mSevEsFlashPhysBase == 0) {
    PhysAddr = (UINTN)Ptr;
  } else {
    PhysAddr = mSevEsFlashPhysBase + (Ptr - mFlashBase);
  }

(3d) EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS is a typedef to UINT64, per spec, thus you can
pass PhysAddr to the SVM_EXIT_MMIO_WRITE VmgExit() call, without a type
cast.

I feel that this approach keeps the SEV-ES logic better contained.

(4) Please link the patch emails (v1, v2 mailing list URLs) into the
bugzilla ticket.

Thanks!
