2015-06-02	cbfs: new API and better program loading	Aaron Durbin
	A new CBFS API is introduced to allow making CBFS access easier for providing multiple CBFS sources. That is achieved by decoupling the cbfs source from a CBFS file. A CBFS source is described by a descriptor. It contains the necessary properties for walking a CBFS to locate a file. The CBFS file is then decoupled from the CBFS descriptor in that it's no longer needed to access the contents of the file. All of this is accomplished using the regions infrastructure by repsenting CBFS sources and files as region_devices. Because region_devices can be chained together forming subregions this allows one to decouple a CBFS source from a file. This also allows one to provide CBFS files that came from other sources for payload and/or stage loading. The program loading takes advantage of those very properties by allowing multiple sources for locating a program. Because of this we can reduce the overhead of loading programs because it's all done in the common code paths. Only locating the program is per source.

2015-05-21	Remove address from GPLv2 headers	Patrick Georgi
	As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons but because there are tools that look for them, and giving them a standard pattern simplifies things. However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a new lease, but can drop the address instead. util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that we may want to synchronize every now and then. $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA[, ]02110-1301[, ]USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-1335, USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place[-, ]Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307[, ]USA:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find -type f -exec sed -i "s:Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + $ find * -type f -a \! -name \.patch \ -a \! -name \_shipped \ -a \! -name LICENSE_GPL \ -a \! -name LGPL.txt \ -a \! -name COPYING \ -a \! -name DISCLAIMER \ -exec sed -i "/Foundation, Inc./ N;s:Foundation, Inc.* USA\.* *:Foundation, Inc. :;s:Foundation, Inc. $:Foundation, Inc.:" {} + Change-Id: Icc968a5a5f3a5df8d32b940f9cdb35350654bef9 Signed-off-by: Patrick Georgi <pgeorgi@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/9233 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Vladimir Serbinenko <phcoder@gmail.com>
2015-05-11	vboot: inject vboot loader for stage loading	Aaron Durbin
	As previously done the vboot loader can be optionally inserted in the stage loading logic in order to decide the source of each stage. This current patch allows for verstage to be loaded and interrogated for the source of all subsequent stages. Additionally, it's also possible to build this logic directly into one of the additional stages. Note that this patch does not allow x86 to work.

2015-04-22	coreboot: add a place to choose romstage loader	Aaron Durbin
	Instead of always loading romstage from cbfs provide a way, similar to ramstage and payload, for other program loaders to intervene. For now, only the cbfs loader is consulted.

2015-03-20	loaders: add run_romstage() function to bootblock	Aaron Durbin
	Provide a common run_romstage() function to be used by bootblocks to load and run romstage. This is similar to run_ramstage() in that it provides a single entry point for doing the necessary work of loading and running romstage.

2014-03-03	coreboot: unify infrastructure for loading payloads	Aaron Durbin
	A payload can be loaded either from a vboot region or from cbfs. Provide a common place for choosing where the payload is loaded from. Additionally, place the logic in the 'loaders' directory similarly to the ramstage loader infrastructure.

2014-02-15	coreboot: infrastructure for different ramstage loaders	Aaron Durbin
	There are 2 methods currently available in coreboot to load ramstage from romstage: cbfs and vboot. The vboot path had to be explicitly enabled and code needed to be added to each chipset to support both. Additionally, many of the paths were duplicated between the two. An additional complication is the presence of having a relocatable ramstage which creates another path with duplication. To rectify this situation provide a common API through the use of a callback to load the ramstage. The rest of the existing logic to handle all the various cases is put in a common place.
