2013-12-09Refactor usage of walkcbfs to permit access to CBFS headersAlexandru Gagniuc
walkcbfs() is used only with ROMCC. Besides finding stages during the bootblock, it's also used when applying microcode updates during the bootblock phase. The function used to return only a pointer to the data of the CBFS file, while making the header completely inaccessible. Since the header contains the length of the CBFS file, the caller did not have a way to know how long the data was. Then, other conventions had to be used to determine the EOF, which might present problems if the user replaces the CBFS file. This is not an issue when jumping to a stage (romstage), but can present problems when accessing a microcode file which has not been NULL-terminated. Refactor walkcbfs_asm to return a pointer to the CBFS file header rather than the data. Rename walkcbfs() to walkcbfs_head(), and reimplement a new walkcbfs() based on walkcbfs_head(). Thus current usage of walkcbfs() remains unaffected. The code has been verified to run successfully under qemu. Subsequent patches will change usage of walkcbfs() to walkcbfs_head where knowing the length of the data is needed.

2011-03-08Move cmos.default handling to bootblockPatrick Georgi
The cmos.default code wasn't actually used so far, due to an oversight when forward-porting this feature from an old branch. - Extend walkcbfs' use by factoring out the stage handling into C code. - New sanitize_cmos() function that looks if CMOS data is invalid and cmos.default exists and if so overwrites CMOS with cmos.default data. - Use sanitize_cmos() in both bootblock implementations. - Drop the need to reboot after writing CMOS: CMOS wasn't used so far, so we can go on without a reboot. - Remove the restriction that cmos.default only works on CAR boards. - Always build in cmos.default support on boards that USE_OPTION_TABLE.
