2013-05-10Get rid of MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL; compile all messages into the coreboot ↵Ronald G. Minnich
binary This option has never had much if any use. It solved a problem over 10 years ago that resulted from an argument over the value or lack thereof of including all the debug strings in a coreboot image. The answer is in: it's a good idea to maintain the capability to print all messages, for many reasons. This option is also misleading people, as in a recent discussion, to believe that log messges are controlled at build time in a way they are not. For the record, from this day forward, we can print messages at all log levels and the default log level is set at boot time, as directed by DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL. You can set the default to 0 at build time and if you are having trouble override it in CMOS and get more messages. Besides, a quick glance shows it's always set to max (9 in this case) in the very few cases (1) in which it is set. Change-Id: I60c4cdaf4dcd318b841a6d6c70546417c5626f21 Signed-off-by: Ronald G.

2013-02-14sconfig: rename lapic_cluster -> cpu_clusterStefan Reinauer
The name lapic_cluster is a bit misleading, since the construct is not local APIC specific by concept. As implementations and hardware change, be more generic about our naming. This will allow us to support non-x86 systems without adding new keywords.

The name pci_domain was a bit misleading, since the construct is only PCI specific in a particular (northbridge/cpu) implementation, but not by concept.

2013-01-12Implement GCC code coverage analysisStefan Reinauer
In order to provide some insight on what code is executed during coreboot's run time and how well our test scenarios work, this adds code coverage support to coreboot's ram stage. This should be easily adaptable for payloads, and maybe even romstage. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html for more information. To instrument coreboot, select CONFIG_COVERAGE ("Code coverage support") in Kconfig, and recompile coreboot. coreboot will then store its code coverage information into CBMEM, if possible. Then, run "cbmem -CV" as root on the target system running the instrumented coreboot binary. This will create a whole bunch of .gcda files that contain coverage information. Tar them up, copy them to your build system machine, and untar them. Then you can use your favorite coverage utility (gcov, lcov, ...) to visualize code coverage. For a sneak peak of what will expect you, please take a look at http://www.coreboot.org/~stepan/coreboot-coverage/ Change-Id: Ib287d8309878a1f5c4be770c38b1bc0bb3aa6ec7 Signed-off-by: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer@google.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/2052 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: David Hendricks <dhendrix@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Martin Roth <martin@se-eng.com> Reviewed-by: Ronald G.
