2018-10-11selfboot: remove bounce buffersRonald G. Minnich
Bounce buffers used to be used in those cases where the payload might overlap coreboot. Bounce buffers are a problem for rampayloads as they need malloc. They are also an artifact of our x86 past before we had relocatable ramstage; only x86, out of the 5 architectures we support, needs them; currently they only seem to matter on the following chipsets: src/northbridge/amd/amdfam10/Kconfig src/northbridge/amd/lx/Kconfig src/northbridge/via/vx900/Kconfig src/soc/intel/fsp_baytrail/Kconfig src/soc/intel/fsp_broadwell_de/Kconfig The first three are obsolete or at least could be changed to avoid the need to have bounce buffers. The last two should change to no longer need them. In any event they can be fixed or pegged to a release which supports them. For these five chipsets we change CONFIG_RAMBASE from 0x100000 (the value needed in 1999 for the 32-bit Linux kernel, the original ramstage) to 0xe00000 (14 Mib) which will put the non-relocatable x86 ramstage out of the way of any reasonable payload until we can get rid of it for good. 14 MiB was chosen after some discussion, but it does fit well: o Fits in the 16 MiB cacheable range coreboot sets up by default o Most small payloads are well under 14 MiB (even kernels!) o Most large payloads get loaded at 16 MiB (especially kernels!) With this change in place coreboot correctly still loads a bzImage payload. Werner reports that the 0xe00000 setting works on his broadwell systems.

Only i386 has code to support bounce buffer. For others coreboot would silently discard part of binary which doesn't work and is a hell to debug. Instead just die.

2015-10-31tree: drop last paragraph of GPL copyright headerPatrick Georgi
It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address. Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we imported) looks out for that. This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further editing.

2015-05-21Remove address from GPLv2 headersPatrick Georgi
As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons but because there are tools that look for them, and giving them a standard pattern simplifies things. However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a new lease, but can drop the address instead. util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that we may want to synchronize every now and then. $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, *MA[, ]*02110-1301[, ]*USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-1335, USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place[-, ]*Suite 330, Boston, MA *02111-1307[, ]*USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -a \! -name \*.patch \ -a \! -name \*_shipped \ -a \! -name LICENSE_GPL \ -a \! -name LGPL.txt \ -a \! -name COPYING \ -a \! -name DISCLAIMER \ -exec sed -i "/Foundation, Inc./ N;s:Foundation, Inc.* USA\.* *:Foundation, Inc. :;s:Foundation, Inc. $:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + Change-Id: Icc968a5a5f3a5df8d32b940f9cdb35350654bef9 Signed-off-by: Patrick Georgi <pgeorgi@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/9233 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Vladimir Serbinenko <phcoder@gmail.com>

Instead of having different structures for loading ramstage and payload align to using struct prog. This also removes arch_payload_run() in favor of the prog_run() interface.

2015-04-03program loading: add prog_run() functionAaron Durbin
The prog_run() function abstracts away what is required for running a given program. Within it, there are 2 calls: 1. platform_prog_run() and 2. arch_prog_run(). The platform_prog_run() allows for a chipset to intercept a program that will be run. This allows for CPU switching as currently needed in t124 and t132.

2015-04-03program loading: introduce struct progAaron Durbin
The struct prog serves as way to consolidate program loading. This abstraction can be used to perform more complicated execution paths such as running a program on a separate CPU after it has been loaded. Currently t124 and t132 need to do that in the boot path. Follow on patches will allow the platform to decide how to execute a particular program. Note: the vboot path is largely untouched because it's already broken in the coreboot.org tree. After getting all the necessary patches pushed then vboot will be fixed.

2014-12-09libpayload: arm: Pass the coreboot table location to the payload.Gabe Black
To find the coreboot tables, the payload has historically searched for their signature in a predefined region of memory. This is a little clumsy on x86, but it works because you can assume certain regions are RAM. Also, there are areas which are set aside for the firmware by convention. On x86 there's a forwarding entry which goes in one of those fairly small conventional areas and which points to the CBMEM area at the end of memory. On ARM there aren't areas like that, so we've left out the forwarding entry and gone directly to CBMEM. RAM may not start at the beginning of the address space or go to its end, and that means there isn't really anywhere fixed you can put the coreboot tables. That's meant that libpayload has to be configured on a per board basis to know where to look for CBMEM. Now that we have boards that don't have fixed amounts of memory, the location of the end of RAM isn't fixed even on a per board level which means even that workaround will no longer cut it. This change makes coreboot pass the location of the coreboot tables to libpayload using r0, the first argument register. That means we'll be able to find them no matter where CBMEM is, and we can get rid of the per board search ranges. We can extend this mechanism to x86 as well, but there may be more complications and it's less necessary there. It would be a good thing to do eventually though. BUG=None TEST=Built and booted on nyan. Changed the size of memory and saw that the payload could still find the coreboot tables where before it couldn't. Built for pit, snow, and big.

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.
