2014-09-08ARM: Generalize armv7 as arm.Gabe Black
There are ARM systems which are essentially heterogeneous multicores where some cores implement a different ARM architecture version than other cores. A specific example is the tegra124 which boots on an ARMv4 coprocessor while most code, including most of the firmware, runs on the main ARMv7 core. To support SOCs like this, the plan is to generalize the ARM architecture so that all versions are available, and an SOC/CPU can then select what architecture variant should be used for each component of the firmware; bootblock, romstage, and ramstage.

We don't always want to use ARMv7 code when building for ARM, so we should separate out the ARMv7 code so it can be excluded, and also make it possible to include code for some other version of the architecture instead, all per build component for cases where we need more than one architecture version at a time. The tegra124 bootblock will ultimately need to be ARMv4, but until we have some ARMv4 code to switch over to we can leave it set to ARMv7.

2014-08-16libpayload: change cb_range to lb_rangeIsaac Christensen
Patch 'coreboot_tables: reduce redundant data structures' (1f5487a) added a new lb_range structure to coreboot and libpayload but the original chromium patch added cb_range to libpayload instead. A followup patch 'arm: libpayload: Add cache coherent DMA memory definition and management' (b8fad3d) used the incorrect cb_range structure but this wasn't caught since the current verification build doesn't build libpayload for arm.

2014-08-13arm: libpayload: Add cache coherent DMA memory definition and managementJulius Werner
This patch adds a mechanism to set aside a region of cache-coherent (i.e. usually uncached) virtual memory, which can be used to communicate with DMA devices without automatic cache snooping (common on ARM) without the need of explicit flush/invalidation instructions in the driver code. This works by setting aside said region in the (board-specific) page table setup, as exemplary done in this patch for the Snow and Pit boards. It uses a new mechanism for adding board-specific Coreboot table entries to describe this region in an entry with the LB_DMA tag. Libpayload's memory allocator is enhanced to be able to operate on distinct types/regions of memory. It provides dma_malloc() and dma_memalign() functions for use in drivers, which by default just operate on the same heap as their traditional counterparts. However, if the Coreboot table parsing code finds a CB_DMA section, further requests through the dma_xxx() functions will return memory from the region described therein instead.

2014-08-10coreboot_tables: reduce redundant data structuresJulius Werner
There are three coreboot table tags that all define some kind of memory region, and each has their own homologous struct. I'm about to add a fourth so I'll just clean this up and turn it into a generic struct lb_range instead.

2014-08-05libpayload: Change CONFIG_* to CONFIG_LP_* in the kconfig.Gabe Black
When libpayload header files are included in the payload itself, it's possible that the payloads config settings will conflict with the ones in libpayload. It's also possible for the libpayload config settings to conflict with the payloads. To avoid that, the libpayload config settings have _LP_ (for libpayload) added to them. The symbols themselves as defined in the Config.in files are still the same, but the prefix added to them is now CONFIG_LP_ instead of just CONFIG_.

2013-12-03libpayload: Make the region to scan for the cb tables configurable.Gabe Black
The address range to scan for the coreboot tables varies from machine to machine based on the range memory occupies on the SOC being booted and on the amount of memory installed on the machine. To make libpayload work on different ARM systems with different needs, this change makes the region to scan configurable. In the future, we might want to come up with a more automatic mechanism like on x86, although there's less consistency on ARM as far as what ranges are even memory in the first place.

Otherwise the code would try to parse GPIOs when encountering a mainboard entry in the coreboot table. This never caused any problems because the mainboard entry is parsed before the GPIO entry.

These live at the bottom of memory on x86, but that's IO mapped on the exynos. The particular range used will likely need to be configurable, but this will make it work in one more case than it used to.
