2012-07-25 | ELOG: Add support for generating SMBIOS type15 table | Duncan Laurie | |
This standared SMBIOS 0able describes the location and format of the event log to the OS and applications. In this case the pointer is a 32bit physical address pointer to the log in memory mapped flash. Look for SMBIOS type15 entry with 'dmidecode -t 15' Handle 0x0004, DMI type 15, 23 bytes System Event Log Area Length: 4095 bytes Header Start Offset: 0x0000 Header Length: 8 bytes Data Start Offset: 0x0008 Access Method: Memory-mapped physical 32-bit address Access Address: 0xFFB6F000 Status: Valid, Not Full Change Token: 0x00000000 Header Format: OEM-specific Supported Log Type Descriptors: 0 Change-Id: I1e7729e604000f197e26e69991a2867e869197a6 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1314 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

2012-07-24 | ELOG: Add support for flash based event log | Duncan Laurie | |
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 175 | 2012-06-23 16:02:55 | ACPI Wake | S5 Change-Id: I985524c67f525c8a268eccbd856c1a4c2a426889 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1311 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.
