2014-03-20rmodules: use rmodtool to create rmodulesAaron Durbin
Start using the rmodtool for generating rmodules. rmodule_link() has been changed to create 2 rules: one for the passed in <name>, the other for creating <name>.rmod which is an ELF file in the format of an rmodule. Since the header is not compiled and linked together with an rmodule there needs to be a way of marking which symbol is the entry point. __rmodule_entry is the symbol used for knowing the entry point. There was a little churn in SMM modules to ensure an rmodule entry point symbol takes a single argument.

2014-03-11rmodule: allow rmodule header structure to be used by userlandAaron Durbin
In order for userland to create rmodules the common code should be shareable. Therefore, convert the short u<width> name types to the posix uint<width>_t types. Additionally, move the definition of the header structure to a new rmodule-defs.h header file so that userland can include that without pulling in the coreboot state.

2014-01-28rmodule: consolidate rmodule stage loadingAaron Durbin
There are 3 places rmodule stages are loaded in the existing code: cbfs and 2 in vboot_wrapper. Much of the code is the same except for a few different cbmem entry ids. Instead provide a common implementation in the rmodule library itself. A structure named rmod_stage_load is introduced to manage the inputs and outputs from the new API.

2013-03-22coreboot: dynamic cbmem requirementAaron Durbin
Dynamic cbmem is now a requirement for relocatable ramstage. This patch replaces the reserve_* fields in the romstage_handoff structure by using the dynamic cbmem library. The haswell code is not moved over in this commit, but it should be safe because there is a hard requirement for DYNAMIC_CBMEM when using a reloctable ramstage.

2013-03-21rmodule: add ability to calculate module placementAaron Durbin
There is a need to calculate the proper placement for an rmodule in memory. e.g. loading a compressed rmodule from flash into ram can be an issue. Determining the placement is hard since the header is not readable until it is decompressed so choosing the wrong location may require a memmove() after decompression. This patch provides a function to perform this calculation by finding region below a given address while making an assumption on the size of the rmodule header..

2013-03-19rmodule: add ramstage supportAaron Durbin
Coreboot's ramstage defines certain sections/symbols in its fixed static linker script. It uses these sections/symbols for locating the drivers as well as its own program information. Add these sections and symbols to the rmodule linker script so that ramstage can be linked as an rmodule. These sections and symbols are a noop for other rmodule-linked programs, but they are vital to the ramstage. Also add a comment in coreboot_ram.ld to mirror any changes made there to the rmodule linker script.

2013-03-18rmodule: add 16 bytes of paddingAaron Durbin
There is a plan to utlize rmodules for loading ramstage as a relocatable module. However, the rmodule header may change. In order to provide some wiggle room for changing the contents of the rmodule header add some padding. This won't stop the need for coordinating properly between the romstage loader that may be in readonly flash and rmodule header fields. But it will provide for a way to make certain assumptions about alignment of the rmodule's program when the rmodule is compressed in the flash.

2013-03-18lib: add rmodule supportAaron Durbin
A rmodule is short for relocation module. Relocaiton modules are standalone programs. These programs are linked at address 0 as a shared object with a special linker script that maintains the relocation entries for the object. These modules can then be embedded as a raw binary (objcopy -O binary) to be loaded at any location desired. Initially, the only arch support is for x86. All comments below apply to x86 specific properties. The intial user of this support would be for SMM handlers since those handlers sometimes need to be located at a dynamic address (e.g. TSEG region). The relocation entries are currently Elf32_Rel. They are 8 bytes large, and the entries are not necessarily in sorted order. An future optimization would be to have a tool convert the unsorted relocations into just sorted offsets. This would reduce the size of the blob produced after being processed. Essentialy, 8 bytes per relocation meta entry would reduce to 4 bytes.
