security/intel/stm: Add STM support
This update is a combination of all four of the patches so that the commit can be done without breaking parts of coreboot. This possible breakage is because of the cross-dependencies between the original separate patches would cause failure because of data structure changes. security/intel/stm This directory contains the functions that check and move the STM to the MSEG, create its page tables, and create the BIOS resource list. The STM page tables is a six page region located in the MSEG and are pointed to by the CR3 Offset field in the MSEG header. The initial page tables will identity map all memory between 0-4G. The STM starts in IA32e mode, which requires page tables to exist at startup. The BIOS resource list defines the resources that the SMI Handler is allowed to access. This includes the SMM memory area where the SMI handler resides and other resources such as I/O devices. The STM uses the BIOS resource list to restrict the SMI handler's accesses. The BIOS resource list is currently located in the same area as the SMI handler. This location is shown in the comment section before smm_load_module in smm_module_loader.c Note: The files within security/intel/stm come directly from their Tianocore counterparts. Unnecessary code has been removed and the remaining code has been converted to meet coreboot coding requirements.

+ help
+ Enabling the STM will load a simple hypervisor into SMM that will
+ restrict the actions of the SMI handler, which is the part of BIOS
+ that functions in system management mode (SMM). The kernel can
+ configure the STM to prevent the SMI handler from accessing platform
+ resources.
+ The STM closes a vulnerability in Intel TXT (D-RTM)
+ The SMI handler provides a list of platform resources that it
+ requires access to the STM during STM startup, which the kernel
+ cannot override.
+ An additional capability, called STM-PE, provides a protected
+ execution capability that allows modules to be executed without
+ observation and interference. Examples of usage include kernel
+ introspection and virtualized trusted platform module (vTPM).
+ Requirement: SMM must be enabled and there must be sufficient room
+ within the TSEG to fit the MSEG.
