RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

seabios log

Description of problem:
smbios uuid mismatched

dmidecode doesn't get a reasonable UUID.
But seems seabios get a right one:
2014-10-15 10:48:43: SeaBIOS (version seabios-1.7.5-5.el7)
2014-10-15 10:48:43: Machine UUID 5b37f308-9143-11e1-a13f-e41f13ebc57a
2014-10-15 10:48:43: UHCI init on dev 00:03.0 (io=c060)
Attached is a seabios log

Hit the issue both on RHEL6 guest & RHEL7 guest.
And Don't hit this on qemu-kvm-1.5.3-75.el7.x86_64.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.10.0-187.el7.x86_64
seavgabios-bin-1.7.5-5.el7.noarch
seabios-bin-1.7.5-5.el7.noarch
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot a guest with this:
    -uuid 5B37F308-9143-11E1-A13F-E41F13EBC57A \
    -smbios type=1,manufacturer='IBM',product='System x3650 M4',uuid='5B37F308-9143-11E1-A13F-E41F13EBC57A',serial='06BKEN8',version='0A',family='VIRT',sku='KVM' \
2. # dmidecode -t 1
3.

Actual results:
The UUID is not the same as the parameter specified.

Expected results:
Should be the same as the the parameter specified

Bug introduced upstream on QEMU 2.1, by:

commit c97294ec1b9e36887e119589d456557d72ab37b5
Author: Gabriel L. Somlo <gsomlo>
Date:   Wed Apr 23 09:42:42 2014 -0400

    SMBIOS: Build aggregate smbios tables and entry point
    
    Build an aggregate set of smbios tables and an entry point structure.
    
    Insert tables and entry point into fw_cfg respectively under
    "etc/smbios/smbios-tables" and "etc/smbios/smbios-anchor".
    
    Machine types <= 2.0 will for now continue using field-by-field
    overrides to SeaBIOS defaults, but for machine types 2.1 and up we
    expect the BIOS to look for and use the aggregate tables generated
    by this patch.

Comment 6 Eduardo Habkost 2014-10-27 19:24:12 UTC 
The bug seems to be related to the byte ordering on the wire format of the UUID, from the SMBIOS specification. But what's confusing me is that the byte order on the binary dump extracted using "dmidecode --dump-bin" is exactly the same. Probably there are tweaks that depend on the reported SMBIOS version inside dmidecode, to handle different byte ordering. I need to investigate further, compare the SMBIOS 2.4 and 2.8 specs, and check the dmidecode source code.
Comment 7 Eduardo Habkost 2014-10-27 19:43:47 UTC 
dmidecode source code:

       /*
         * As of version 2.6 of the SMBIOS specification, the first 3
         * fields of the UUID are supposed to be encoded on little-endian.
         * The specification says that this is the defacto standard,
         * however I've seen systems following RFC 4122 instead and use
         * network byte order, so I am reluctant to apply the byte-swapping
         * for older versions.
         */
        if (ver >= 0x0206)
                printf("%02X%02X%02X%02X-%02X%02X-%02X%02X-%02X%02X-%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X",
                        p[3], p[2], p[1], p[0], p[5], p[4], p[7], p[6],
                        p[8], p[9], p[10], p[11], p[12], p[13], p[14], p[15]);
        else
                printf("%02X%02X%02X%02X-%02X%02X-%02X%02X-%02X%02X-%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X",
                        p[0], p[1], p[2], p[3], p[4], p[5], p[6], p[7],
                        p[8], p[9], p[10], p[11], p[12], p[13], p[14], p[15]);


It loos like making -uuid match the wire format byte-ordering (instead of the UUID format translated for humans) while using SMBIOS 2.8 version is a QEMU bug, and we will want to fix it in QEMU 2.2 (and on qemu-kvm-rhev). The pre-2.6 behavior in dmidecode may be implementing a feature or working around a bug (I don't know yet) but we can just leave old machine-types as is, anyway, and fix it on pc-2.2/rhel7.1.0 and newer.

For reference, SMBIOS 2.5 says:

"Universal Unique ID number. If the value is all FFh,
the ID is not currently present in the system, but is
settable. If the value is all 00h, the ID is not present in
the system."

I don't see any information about byte ordering.


SMBIOS 2.6.0 is more specific:

"Although RFC 4122 recommends network byte order for all fields, the PC industry (including the ACPI, UEFI, and
Microsoft specifications) has consistently used little-endian byte encoding for the first three fields: time_low,
time_mid, time_hi_and_version. The same encoding, also known as wire format, should also be used for the
SMBIOS representation of the UUID.
The UUID {00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF} would thus be represented as 33 22 11 00 55 44 77
66 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF."
