choice prompt "Boot media protection mechanism" default BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_NONE config BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_NONE bool "Don't lock boot media sections" config BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_CONTROLLER bool "Lock boot media using the controller" help Select this if you want the controller to lock specific regions. This only works on some platforms, please check the code or boot log. On Intel platforms for e.g. this will make use of the SPIBAR PRRs. config BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_CHIP bool "Lock boot media using the chip" help Select this if you want the chip to lock specific regions. This only works on some chips, please check the code or boot log. endchoice choice prompt "Boot media protected regions" depends on !BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_NONE default BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_WHOLE_RO config BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_WHOLE_RO bool "Write-protect the whole boot medium" help Select this if you want to write-protect the whole firmware boot medium. The locking will take place during the chipset lockdown. Chipset lockdown is platform specific und might be done unconditionally, when INTEL_CHIPSET_LOCKDOWN is set or has to be triggered later (e.g. by the payload or the OS). NOTE: If you trigger the chipset lockdown unconditionally, you won't be able to write to the whole flash chip using the internal controller any more. config BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_WHOLE_NO_ACCESS depends on BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_CONTROLLER bool "Read- and write-protect the whole boot medium" help Select this if you want to protect the firmware boot medium against all further accesses. On platforms that memory map a part of the boot medium the corresponding region is still readable. The locking will take place during the chipset lockdown. Chipset lockdown is platform specific und might be done unconditionally, when INTEL_CHIPSET_LOCKDOWN is set or has to be triggered later (e.g. by the payload or the OS). NOTE: If you trigger the chipset lockdown unconditionally, you won't be able to write to the whole flash chip using the internal controller any more. config BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_WPRO_VBOOT_RO bool "Write-protect WP_RO FMAP region in boot medium" depends on VBOOT help Select this if you want to write-protect the WP_RO region as specified in the VBOOT FMAP. You will be able to write every region outside of WP_RO using the internal controller (eg. FW_MAIN_A/FW_MAIN_B). In case of BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_IN_VERSTAGE the locking will take place early, preventing locking of facilities used in ramstage, like the MRC cache. If not using BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_IN_VERSTAGE the chipset lockdown is either triggered by coreboot (when INTEL_CHIPSET_LOCKDOWN is set) or has to be triggered later (e.g. by the payload or the OS). endchoice config BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_IN_VERSTAGE depends on BOOTMEDIA_LOCK_WPRO_VBOOT_RO bool "Lock boot media down in verstage" help Select this if you want to write-protect the WP_RO region as soon as possible. This option prevents using write protecting facilities in ramstage, like the MRC cache for example. Use this option if you don't trust code running after verstage.
