2014-04-26Rename coreboot_ram stage to ramstageFurquan Shaikh
Rename coreboot_ram stage to ramstage. This is done in order to provide consistency with other stage names (bootblock, romstage) and to allow any Makefile rule generalization, required for patches to be submitted later.

2014-04-18console: Drop driver list in ramstageKyösti Mälkki
This framework was only available in ramstage. So we had to define console output functions separately for bootblock, romstage and SMM. Follow-up patches will re-enable all the consoles removed here, in a more flexible fashion, and with less lines-of-code and copy-paste. Also the driver list is not in a well-defined order and some of the loops could exit without visiting all drivers. NOTE: This build has no console in ramstage.

2013-05-01boot state: schedule static callbacksAaron Durbin
Many of the boot state callbacks can be scheduled at compile time. Therefore, provide a way for a compilation unit to inform the boot state machine when its callbacks should be called. Each C module can export the callbacks and their scheduling requirements without changing the shared boot flow code.

2013-03-19rmodule: add ramstage supportAaron Durbin
Coreboot's ramstage defines certain sections/symbols in its fixed static linker script. It uses these sections/symbols for locating the drivers as well as its own program information. Add these sections and symbols to the rmodule linker script so that ramstage can be linked as an rmodule. These sections and symbols are a noop for other rmodule-linked programs, but they are vital to the ramstage. Also add a comment in coreboot_ram.ld to mirror any changes made there to the rmodule linker script.

2013-03-19x86: remove stack definition in linker scriptAaron Durbin
In order to prepare the ramstage to be linked by the rmodule linker the stack needs to be self-contained within the ramstage objects. The reasoning is that the rmodule linker provides a way to define a heap, but it doesn't currently have a region for the stack. The downside to this is that memory footprint of the ramstage can change when compared before this change. The size difference stems from the link ordering of the objects as the stack is now defined within c_start.S. The size fluctuation ranges from 0 to CONFIG_STACK_SIZE - 1 because of the previous behavior or aligning to CONFIG_STACK_SIZE. It should be noted that such an alignment is unnecessary for 32-bit x86 as the alignment requirement for the stacks are 4 byte alignment. Also the memory footprint is still dominated by CONFIG_RAMTOP and CONFIG_RAMBASE.

2013-01-12Implement GCC code coverage analysisStefan Reinauer
In order to provide some insight on what code is executed during coreboot's run time and how well our test scenarios work, this adds code coverage support to coreboot's ram stage. This should be easily adaptable for payloads, and maybe even romstage. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html for more information. To instrument coreboot, select CONFIG_COVERAGE ("Code coverage support") in Kconfig, and recompile coreboot. coreboot will then store its code coverage information into CBMEM, if possible. Then, run "cbmem -CV" as root on the target system running the instrumented coreboot binary. This will create a whole bunch of .gcda files that contain coverage information. Tar them up, copy them to your build system machine, and untar them. Then you can use your favorite coverage utility (gcov, lcov, ...) to visualize code coverage. For a sneak peak of what will expect you, please take a look at http://www.coreboot.org/~stepan/coreboot-coverage/ Change-Id: Ib287d8309878a1f5c4be770c38b1bc0bb3aa6ec7 Signed-off-by: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer@google.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/2052 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: David Hendricks <dhendrix@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Martin Roth <martin@se-eng.com> Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

2012-11-27build system: Eliminate special case for c_startPatrick Georgi
c_start.o has a special case in the build system, which we can eliminate, somewhat simplifying the build. To ensure that the entry point is at the beginning, introduce a new section .textfirst that is placed appropriately. In principle the ENTRY() definition in the linker script should be enough, but better be safe.
