2020-02-05security/intel/stm: Add STM supportEugene Myers
This update is a combination of all four of the patches so that the commit can be done without breaking parts of coreboot. This possible breakage is because of the cross-dependencies between the original separate patches would cause failure because of data structure changes. security/intel/stm This directory contains the functions that check and move the STM to the MSEG, create its page tables, and create the BIOS resource list. The STM page tables is a six page region located in the MSEG and are pointed to by the CR3 Offset field in the MSEG header. The initial page tables will identity map all memory between 0-4G. The STM starts in IA32e mode, which requires page tables to exist at startup. The BIOS resource list defines the resources that the SMI Handler is allowed to access. This includes the SMM memory area where the SMI handler resides and other resources such as I/O devices. The STM uses the BIOS resource list to restrict the SMI handler's accesses. The BIOS resource list is currently located in the same area as the SMI handler. This location is shown in the comment section before smm_load_module in smm_module_loader.c Note: The files within security/intel/stm come directly from their Tianocore counterparts. Unnecessary code has been removed and the remaining code has been converted to meet coreboot coding requirements.
