Thread support is added for the x86 architecture. Both the local apic and the tsc udelay() functions have a call to thread_yield_microseconds() so as to provide an opportunity to run pending threads.

2013-03-23x86: mark .textfirst as allocatable and executableAaron Durbin
When the linking of ramstage was changed to use an intermeidate object with all ramstage objects in it the .textfirst section was introduced to keep the entry point at 0. However, the section was not marked allocatable or executable. Nor was it marked as @progbits. That didn't cause an issue on its own since .textfirst was directly called out in the linker script. However, the rmodule infrastructure relies on all the relocation entries being included in the rmodule. Without the proper section attributes the .rel.textfirst section entries were not being included in the final ramstage rmodule.

2013-03-21ramstage: prepare for relocationAaron Durbin
The current ramstage code contains uses of symbols that cause issues when the ramstage is relocatable. There are 2 scenarios resolved by this patch: 1. Absolute symbols that are actually sizes/limits. The symbols are problematic when relocating a program because there is no way to distinguish a symbol that shouldn't be relocated and one that can. The only way to handle these symbols is to write a program to post process the relocations and keep a whitelist of ones that shouldn't be relocated. I don't believe that is a route that should be taken so fix the users of these sizes/limits encoded as absolute symbols to calculate the size at runtime or dereference a variable in memory containing the size/limit. 2. Absoulte symbols that were relocated to a fixed address. These absolute symbols are generated by assembly files to be placed at a fixed location. Again, these symbols are problematic because one can't distinguish a symbol that can't be relocated. The symbols are again resolved at runtime to allow for proper relocation. For the symbols defining a size either use 2 symbols and calculate the difference or provide a variable in memory containing the size.

2013-03-20x86: don't clear bss in ramstage entryAaron Durbin
The cbfs stage loading routine already zeros out the full memory region that a stage will be loaded. Therefore, it is unnecessary to to clear the bss again after once ramstage starts.

2013-03-19x86: remove stack definition in linker scriptAaron Durbin
In order to prepare the ramstage to be linked by the rmodule linker the stack needs to be self-contained within the ramstage objects. The reasoning is that the rmodule linker provides a way to define a heap, but it doesn't currently have a region for the stack. The downside to this is that memory footprint of the ramstage can change when compared before this change. The size difference stems from the link ordering of the objects as the stack is now defined within c_start.S. The size fluctuation ranges from 0 to CONFIG_STACK_SIZE - 1 because of the previous behavior or aligning to CONFIG_STACK_SIZE. It should be noted that such an alignment is unnecessary for 32-bit x86 as the alignment requirement for the stacks are 4 byte alignment. Also the memory footprint is still dominated by CONFIG_RAMTOP and CONFIG_RAMBASE.

2012-11-27build system: Eliminate special case for c_startPatrick Georgi
c_start.o has a special case in the build system, which we can eliminate, somewhat simplifying the build. To ensure that the entry point is at the beginning, introduce a new section .textfirst that is placed appropriately. In principle the ENTRY() definition in the linker script should be enough, but better be safe.

2012-07-15Poison the stack to uncover programming errorsRonald G. Minnich
Code can easily make the mistake of using uninitialized values or, in assembly, mistakenly dereferencing stack pointers when an address is desired. Set the stack to a non-zero value which is also (by testing) a pointer which will crash coreboot if used. This poisoning has uncovered at least one bug.
