2020-01-06util/supermicro: Add and use new tool smcbiosinfoPatrick Rudolph
The BMC and tools interacting with it depend on metadata placed inside the ROM in order the flash the BIOS. Add a new tool smcbiosinfo, integrate it into the build system, and generate a 128byte metadata file called smcbiosinfo.bin on build. You need to provide the BoardID for every SMC mainboard through a new Kconfig symbol: SUPERMICRO_BOARDID Some fields are unknown, but it's sufficient to flash it using SMC vendor tools. Tested on Supermicro X11SSH: * Flashing using the WebUI works * Flashing using SMCIPMITool works No further validation is done on the firmware.

2019-10-15soc/intel/common/block/sgx: Fix crash in MP initPatrick Rudolph
On Hyper-Threading enabled platforms the MSR_PRMRR_PHYS_MASK was written when already locked by the sibling thread. In addition it loads microcode updates on all threads. To prevent such race conditions only call the code on one thread, such that the MSRs are only written once per core and the microcode is only loaded once for each core. Also add comments that describe the scope of the MSR that is being written to and mention the Intel documents used for reference. Fixes crash in SGX MP init. Tested on Supermicro X11SSH-TF.

2019-09-26mb/supermicro: restructure x11ssh-tf to represent a x11 board seriesMichael Niewöhner
Most of the X11 boards with socket LGA1151 are basically the same boards with just some minor differences like different NICs (1 GbE, 10 GbE), number of NICs / PCIe ports etc. There are about 20 boards that can be added, if there is a community for testing. To be able to add more x11 boards easily like x11ssm (see CB:35427) this restructures the x11ssh tree to represent a "X11 LGA1151 series". There were multiple suggestions for the structure like grouping by series (x10, x11, x...), grouping by chipset or by cpu family. It turned out that there are some "X11 series" boards that are completely different. Grouping by chipset or cpu family suffers from the same problem. This is why finally we agreed on grouping by series and socket ("X11 LGA1151 series"). The structure uses the common baseboard scheme, while there is no "real" baseboard we know of. By checking images, comparing logs etc. we came to the conclusion that Supermicro does have some base layout which is only modified a bit for the different boards. X11SSH-TF was moved to the variants/ folder with it's gpio.h. As we expect the other boards to have mostly the same device tree, there is a common devicetree that gets overridden by each variant's overridetree. Besides that some very minor modifications happened (formatting, fixing comments, ...) but not much.

We generally try to stay away from ascribing attributes to (future) devs. "Rookie guide" refers to the reader, while "tutorial" refers to the material. In the same spirit, move from "lessons" to "parts".
