The linux kernel contains an SMI driver that was written by
me (Duncan) and upstreamed a couple years ago called GSMI.
This driver will format a parameter buffer and pass pointers
to this parameter buffer to the SMI handler. It uses this to
generate events for kernel shutdown reasons: Clean, Panic, Oops,
etc.
This function expects to be passed pointers into the SMM state
save area that correspond to the prameter buffer and the return
code, which are typically EAX and EBX.
The format of the parameter buffer is defined in the kernel
driver so we implement the same interface here in order to be
compatible.
GSMI_CMD_HANDSHAKE: this is an early call that it does to try
and detect what kind of BIOS is running.
GSMI_CMD_SET_EVENT_LOG: this contains a parameter buffer that
has event type and data. The kernel-specific events are
translated here and raw events are passed through as well which
allows any run-time event to be added for testing.
GSMI_CMD_CLEAR_EVENT_LOG: this command clears the event log.
First the gsmi driver must be enabled in the kernel with
CONFIG_GOOGLE_GSMI and then events can be added via sysfs
and events are automatically generated for various kernel
shutdown reasons.
These can be seen in the event log as the 'Kernel Event' type:
169 | 2012-06-23 15:03:04 | Kernl Event | Clean Shutdown
181 | 2012-06-23 16:26:32 | Kernl Event | Oops
181 | 2012-06-23 16:26:32 | Kernl Event | Panic

This maintains a 32bit monotonically increasing boot counter
that is stored in CMOS and logged on every non-S3 boot when
the event log is initialized.
In CMOS the count is prefixed with a 16bit signature and
appended with a 16bit checksum.
This counter is incremented in sandybridge early_init which is
called by romstage. It is incremented early in order notice
when reboots happen after memory init.
The counter is then logged when ELOG is initialized and will
store the boot count as part of a 'System boot; event.
Reboot a few times and look for 'System boot' events in the
event log and check that they are increasing. Also verify
that the counter does NOT increase when resuming from S3.

This is based around the SMBIOS event log specification but
expanded with OEM event types to support more specific and
relevant system events.
It requires flash storage and a minimum 4K block (or flash block
size) that should be allocated in the FMAP.
A copy of the event log is maintained in memory for convenience
and speed and the in-memory copy is written to flash at specific
points.
The log is automatically shunk when it reaches a configurable
full threshold in order to not get stuck with a full log that
needs OS help to clear.
ELOG implements the specification published here:
http://code.google.com/p/firmware-event-log/wiki/FirmwareEventLogDesign
And is similar to what we use in other firmware at Google.
This implementation does not support double-buffered flash
regions. This is done because speed is valued over the log
reliability and it keeps the code simpler for the first version.
This is a large commit and by itself it just provides a new
driver that is made available to coreboot. Without additional
patches it is not very useful, but the end result is an event
log that will contain entries like this:
171 | 2012-06-23 16:02:55 | System boot | 285
172 | 2012-06-23 16:02:55 | EC Event | Power Button
173 | 2012-06-23 16:02:55 | SUS Power Fail
174 | 2012-06-23 16:02:55 | System Reset
