soc/intel/common: Move CSE RW into new FMAP region to optimize boot time
CSE RW blob which will be used by coreboot to update CSE's RW partition, is packed part of FW_MAIN_A and FW_MAIN_B. This will increase the size of FW_MAIN_A and FW_MAIN_B. So, accordingly load and hash calculation of FW_MAIN_A (or FW_MAIN_B) increases during verstage. It increases the boot time by around 300ms. The patch address the boot time by pulling CSE RW blob outside of FW_MAIN_A and FW_MAIN_B. So, it creates new FMAP region within RW_SECTION_A and RW_SECTION_B and adds CSE RW blob in the new regions (ME_RW_A and ME_RW_B) as a CBFS file. Boot Time Measurement details when CSE RW blob is added in the ME_RW_A and ME_RW_B. -------------------------------------------------------- | Platform | Old Boot Time | New Boot Time | -------------------------------------------------------- | JSL | 1.3s | 1.06s | -------------------------------------------------------- | TGL | 1.63s | 1.36s | -------------------------------------------------------- Changes: 1. Makefile change to accommodate CSE RW blob into ME_RW_A/ME_RW_B 2. Kconfig change to define CBFS name and default file name for RW blob metadata. 3.
