  Change Details

    ## Description

  • Adds the BIOS version and date to Type 0 (BIOS) structure.
  • Changes BIOS vendor to "Project Mu" so its easier to trace project info.
  • Adds the QEMU version to the Type 1 (System) version field.
  • Q35: Changes System product from "MuQemuQ35" to "QEMU Q35".
  • SBSA: Changes System product from "MuQemuQ35" to "QEMU SBSA".

  Other related minor cleanup.

  The goal is to clean up firmware and system information and make it more
  useful.

  • Impacts functionality?
    • Functionality - Does the change ultimately impact how firmware functions?
    • Examples: Add a new library, publish a new PPI, update an algorithm, ...
  • Impacts security?
    • Security - Does the change have a direct security impact on an application,
      flow, or firmware?
    • Examples: Crypto algorithm change, buffer overflow fix, parameter
      validation improvement, ...
  • Breaking change?
    • Breaking change - Will anyone consuming this change experience a break
      in build or boot behavior?
    • Examples: Add a new library class, move a module to a different repo, call
      a function in a new library class in a pre-existing module, ...
  • Includes tests?
    • Tests - Does the change include any explicit test code?
    • Examples: Unit tests, integration tests, robot tests, ...
  • Includes documentation?
    • Documentation - Does the change contain explicit documentation additions
      outside direct code modifications (and comments)?
    • Examples: Update readme file, add feature readme file, link to documentation
      on an a separate Web page, ...

  How This Was Tested

  1. Verified values in QEMU run command.
  2. Read values from smbiosview in the EFI shell.
  3. Read relevant values from Windows UI.

  Integration Instructions

  Review values modified and see if they affect tests or features
  dependent on SMBIOS information.

• Use "usb-tablet" instead of "usb-mouse" as the pointer device @makubacki (#645)
  
  Change Details

    ## Description

  usb-tablet and usb-mouse both override the default PS/2 emulation
  when enabled. usb-tablet uses absolute coordinates and allows QEMU
  to report the mouse position without grabbing the device.

  It also tracks the mouse cursor more accurately.
