Got it.

the value of firmware will increase all the time until you power off the machine.

I mean during system warm reset, TSC will not be reseted.

Looks like boot-timestamps.c first tries to read the ACPI FPDT table (it seems acpi-fpdt.c uses the "OS Loader StartImage Start" and "ExitBootServices Exit" fields), but if that's unavailable, then it uses timestamps stored by systemd-boot in EFI variables (/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderTime*). The latter seems to be estimating it from RDTSC (src/boot/efi/util.c).

This is bios from oracle, we noticed that the firmware times reported were incorrect.

Startup finished in 59min 7.944s (firmware) + 33.051s (loader) + 4.428s
(kernel) + 1min 18.870s (initrd) + 44.494s (userspace) = 1h 1min 48.789s

 

May I ask what is the source of the firmware ?  is it read from acpi table?
