2020-08-14arch/x86/postcar: Add x86_64 supportPatrick Rudolph
* Add support for loading GDT on x86_64. * Add x86_64 assembly code to do the same as the x86_32 code. * Separate x86_32 and x86_64 code. Tested on qemu x86_32 and x86_64 using additional MTRRs. Tested on Lenovo T410 with additional x86_64 patches.

2020-07-08cpu/x86/smm: Add support for long modePatrick Rudolph
Enable long mode in SMM handler. x86_32 isn't affected by this change. As the rsm instruction used to leave SMM doesn't restore MSR registers, drop back to protected mode after running the smi_handler and restore IA32_EFER MSR (which enables long mode support) to previous value. NOTE: This commit does NOT introduce a new security model. It uses the same page tables as the remaining firmware does. This can be a security risk if someone is able to manipulate the page tables stored in ROM at runtime. USE FOR TESTING ONLY! Tested on Qemu Q35.

2019-11-04cpu/qemu-x86: Add x86_64 bootblock supportPatrick Rudolph
Add support for x86_64 bootblock on qemu. Introduce a new approach to long mode support. The previous patch set generated page tables at runtime and placed them in heap. The new approach places the page tables in memory mapped ROM. Introduce a new tool called pgtblgen that creates x86 long mode compatible page tables and writes those to a file. The file is included into the CBFS and placed at a predefined offset. Add assembly code to load the page tables, based on a Kconfig symbol and enter long in bootblock. The code can be easily ported to real hardware bootblock. Tested on qemu q35.

To clear all DRAM on x86_32, add a new method that uses PAE to access more than 32bit of address space. Add Documentation as well. Required for clearing all system memory as part of security API. Tested on wedge100s: Takes less than 2 seconds to clear 8GiB of DRAM. Tested on P8H61M-Pro: Takes less than 1 second to clear 4GiB of DRAM.
