2012-11-08ELOG: Find flash base in FMAP if possibleDuncan Laurie
Now that we have FMAP support in coreboot use it to find the offset in flash for ELOG to use. If coreboot has elog configured with a smaller size then use that over the FMAP size. This is because I set aside a 16KB region in the FMAP but we only use 4KB of it to keep the impact to boot/resume speed to a minimum. FMAP: Found "FMAP" version 1.0 at ffe10000. FMAP: base = 0 size = 800000 #areas = 32 FMAP: area RW_ELOG found FMAP: offset: 3f0000 FMAP: size: 16384 bytes FMAP: No valid base address, using 0xff800000 ELOG: base=0x003f0000 base_ptr=0xffbf0000 ELOG: MEM @0x00190ad8 FLASH @0xffbf0000 ELOG: areas are 4096 bytes, full threshold 3072, shrink size 1024 Change-Id: I3d826812c0f259d61f41b42797c58dd179f9f1c8 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1706 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

2012-07-26ELOG: Add support for SMM and kernel GSMI driverDuncan Laurie
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 Change-Id: Ic0a3916401f0d9811e4aa8b2c560657dccc920c1 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1316 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

2012-07-25ELOG: Add support for a monotonic boot counter in CMOSDuncan Laurie
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. 171 | 2012-06-23 16:02:55 | System boot | 285 176 | 2012-06-23 16:26:00 | System boot | 286 182 | 2012-06-23 16:27:04 | System boot | 287 189 | 2012-06-23 16:31:10 | System boot | 288 Change-Id: I23faeafcf155edfd10aa6882598b3883575f8a33 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1315 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

2012-07-25ELOG: Add support for generating SMBIOS type15 tableDuncan 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.

2012-07-24ELOG: Add support for flash based event logDuncan 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.
