2013-03-22	coreboot: dynamic cbmem requirement	Aaron Durbin
	Dynamic cbmem is now a requirement for relocatable ramstage. This patch replaces the reserve_* fields in the romstage_handoff structure by using the dynamic cbmem library. The haswell code is not moved over in this commit, but it should be safe because there is a hard requirement for DYNAMIC_CBMEM when using a reloctable ramstage.

2013-03-21	cbmem: dynamic cbmem support	Aaron Durbin
	This patch adds a parallel implementation of cbmem that supports dynamic sizing. The original implementation relied on reserving a fixed-size block of memory for adding cbmem entries. In order to allow for more flexibility for adding cbmem allocations the dynamic cbmem infrastructure was developed as an alternative to the fixed block approach. Also, the amount of memory to reserve for cbmem allocations does not need to be known prior to the first allocation. The dynamic cbmem code implements the same API as the existing cbmem code except for cbmem_init() and cbmem_reinit(). The add and find routines behave the same way. The dynamic cbmem infrastructure uses a top down allocator that starts allocating from a board/chipset defined function cbmem_top(). A root pointer lives just below cbmem_top(). In turn that pointer points to the root block which contains the entries for all the large alloctations. The corresponding block for each large allocation falls just below the previous entry. It should be noted that this implementation rounds all allocations up to a 4096 byte granularity. Though a packing allocator could be written for small allocations it was deemed OK to just fragment the memory as there shouldn't be that many small allocations. The result is less code with a tradeoff of some wasted memory. +----------------------+ <- cbmem_top() \| +----\| root pointer \| \| \| +----------------------+ \| \| \| \|--------+ \| +--->\| root block \|-----+ \| \| +----------------------+ \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| alloc N \|<----+ \| \| +----------------------+ \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \\|/ \| alloc N + 1 \|<-------+ v +----------------------+ In addition to preserving the previous cbmem API, the dynamic cbmem API allows for removing blocks from cbmem. This allows for the boot process to allocate memory that can be discarded after it's been used for performing more complex boot tasks in romstage. In order to plumb this support in there were some issues to work around regarding writing of coreboot tables. There were a few assumptions to how cbmem was layed out which dictated some ifdef guarding and other runtime checks so as not to incorrectly tag the e820 and coreboot memory tables. The example shown below is using dynamic cbmem infrastructure. The reserved memory for cbmem is less than 512KiB. coreboot memory table: 0. 0000000000000000-0000000000000fff: CONFIGURATION TABLES 1. 0000000000001000-000000000002ffff: RAM 2. 0000000000030000-000000000003ffff: RESERVED 3. 0000000000040000-000000000009ffff: RAM 4. 00000000000a0000-00000000000fffff: RESERVED 5. 0000000000100000-0000000000efffff: RAM 6. 0000000000f00000-0000000000ffffff: RESERVED 7. 0000000001000000-000000007bf80fff: RAM 8. 000000007bf81000-000000007bffffff: CONFIGURATION TABLES 9. 000000007c000000-000000007e9fffff: RESERVED 10. 00000000f0000000-00000000f3ffffff: RESERVED 11. 00000000fed10000-00000000fed19fff: RESERVED 12. 00000000fed84000-00000000fed84fff: RESERVED 13. 0000000100000000-00000001005fffff: RAM Wrote coreboot table at: 7bf81000, 0x39c bytes, checksum f5bf coreboot table: 948 bytes.

2013-03-21	ramstage: Add cbmem_get_table_location()	Aaron Durbin
	When CONFIG_EARLY_CBMEM_INIT is selected romstage is supposed to have initialized cbmem. Therefore provide a weak function for the chipset to implement named cbmem_get_table_location(). When CONFIG_EARLY_CBMEM_INIT is selected cbmem_get_table_location() will be called to get the cbmem location and size. After that cbmem_initialize() is called.

2013-01-30	Extend CBFS to support arbitrary ROM source media.	Hung-Te Lin
	Summary: Isolate CBFS underlying I/O to board/arch-specific implementations as "media stream", to allow loading and booting romstage on non-x86. CBFS functions now all take a new "media source" parameter; use CBFS_DEFAULT_MEDIA if you simply want to load from main firmware. API Changes: cbfs_find => cbfs_get_file. cbfs_find_file => cbfs_get_file_content. cbfs_get_file => cbfs_get_file_content with correct type. CBFS used to work only on memory-mapped ROM (all x86). For platforms like ARM, the ROM may come from USB, UART, or SPI -- any serial devices and not available for memory mapping. To support these devices (and allowing CBFS to read from multiple source at the same time), CBFS operations are now virtual-ized into "cbfs_media". To simplify porting existing code, every media source must support both "reading into pre-allocated memory (read)" and "read and return an allocated buffer (map)". For devices without native memory-mapped ROM, "cbfs_simple_buffer" provides simple memory mapping simulation. Every CBFS function now takes a cbfs_media as parameter. CBFS_DEFAULT_MEDIA is defined for CBFS functions to automatically initialize a per-board default media (CBFS will internally calls init_default_cbfs_media). Also revised CBFS function names relying on memory mapped backend (ex, "cbfs_find" => actually loads files). Now we only have two getters: struct cbfs_file entry = cbfs_get_file(media, name); void data = cbfs_get_file_content(CBFS_DEFAULT_MEDIA, name, type); Test results: - Verified to work on x86/qemu. - Compiles on ARM, and follow up commit will provide working SPI driver.

2013-01-12	Implement GCC code coverage analysis	Stefan 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.
