2018-11-30arch/power8: Rename to ppc64Jonathan Neuschäfer
POWER8 is a specific implementation of ppc64, which is by now outdated (POWER9 has been on the market for a while). Rename arch/power8/ to potentially cover a wider range of hardware. TEST=Toolchains built before/after this commit can build coreboot for emulation/qemu-power8 from before/after this commit.

2018-10-11selfboot: remove bounce buffersRonald G. Minnich
Bounce buffers used to be used in those cases where the payload might overlap coreboot. Bounce buffers are a problem for rampayloads as they need malloc. They are also an artifact of our x86 past before we had relocatable ramstage; only x86, out of the 5 architectures we support, needs them; currently they only seem to matter on the following chipsets: src/northbridge/amd/amdfam10/Kconfig src/northbridge/amd/lx/Kconfig src/northbridge/via/vx900/Kconfig src/soc/intel/fsp_baytrail/Kconfig src/soc/intel/fsp_broadwell_de/Kconfig The first three are obsolete or at least could be changed to avoid the need to have bounce buffers. The last two should change to no longer need them. In any event they can be fixed or pegged to a release which supports them. For these five chipsets we change CONFIG_RAMBASE from 0x100000 (the value needed in 1999 for the 32-bit Linux kernel, the original ramstage) to 0xe00000 (14 Mib) which will put the non-relocatable x86 ramstage out of the way of any reasonable payload until we can get rid of it for good. 14 MiB was chosen after some discussion, but it does fit well: o Fits in the 16 MiB cacheable range coreboot sets up by default o Most small payloads are well under 14 MiB (even kernels!) o Most large payloads get loaded at 16 MiB (especially kernels!) With this change in place coreboot correctly still loads a bzImage payload. Werner reports that the 0xe00000 setting works on his broadwell systems.

2016-02-22die() when attempting to use bounce buffer on non-i386.Vladimir Serbinenko
Only i386 has code to support bounce buffer. For others coreboot would silently discard part of binary which doesn't work and is a hell to debug. Instead just die.

2016-02-20emulation/qemu-power8: initial mainboard and arch commitRonald G. Minnich
This builds and produces an image. The next step is to get a 'halt' instruction into the boot block and then attach with qemu. I can't get the powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld.bfd to recognize any output arch but powerpc. That makes no sense to me. Change-Id: Ia2a5fe07a1457e7b6974ab1473539c7447d7a449 Signed-off-by: Ronald G.
