From 8adf7a2c50dcb3a7f09b66c1f3918ab195d8c5ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duncan Laurie Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:34:20 -0700 Subject: Log device path into CMOS during probe stages One of the most common hangs during coreboot execution is during ramstage device init steps. Currently there are a set of (somewhat misleading) post codes during this phase which give some indication as to where execution stopped, but it provides no information on what device was actually being initialized at that point. This uses the new CMOS "extra" log banks to store the encoded device path of the device that is about to be touched by coreboot. This way if the system hangs when talking to the device there will be some indication where to investigate next. interrupted boot with reset button and gathered the eventlog after several test runs: 26 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | System boot | 120 27 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | Last post code in previous boot | 0x75 | Device Initialize 28 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | Extra info from previous boot | PCI | 00:16.0 29 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | Reset Button 30 | 2013-06-10 10:32:48 | System Reset Change-Id: I6045bd4c384358b8a4e464eb03ccad639283939c Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/58105 Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/4230 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Alexandru Gagniuc --- src/include/pc80/mc146818rtc.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/include/pc80/mc146818rtc.h') diff --git a/src/include/pc80/mc146818rtc.h b/src/include/pc80/mc146818rtc.h index b0e9f2cc03..fd403087a6 100644 --- a/src/include/pc80/mc146818rtc.h +++ b/src/include/pc80/mc146818rtc.h @@ -217,6 +217,8 @@ static inline enum cb_err get_option(void *dest __attribute__((unused)), #define CMOS_POST_BANK_1_OFFSET (CMOS_POST_OFFSET + 2) #define CMOS_POST_BANK_1_EXTRA (CMOS_POST_OFFSET + 7) +#define CMOS_POST_EXTRA_DEV_PATH 0x01 + void cmos_post_log(void); #endif /* CONFIG_CMOS_POST */ -- cgit v1.2.3
