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>
2015-04-03	program loading: unify on struct prog	Aaron Durbin
	Instead of having different structures for loading ramstage and payload align to using struct prog. This also removes arch_payload_run() in favor of the prog_run() interface.

2015-04-03	program loading: introduce struct prog	Aaron Durbin
	The struct prog serves as way to consolidate program loading. This abstraction can be used to perform more complicated execution paths such as running a program on a separate CPU after it has been loaded. Currently t124 and t132 need to do that in the boot path. Follow on patches will allow the platform to decide how to execute a particular program. Note: the vboot path is largely untouched because it's already broken in the coreboot.org tree. After getting all the necessary patches pushed then vboot will be fixed.

2015-03-20	loaders: add program_loading.h header file	Aaron Durbin
	Instead of two headers for payload and ramstage loading combine the 2 files into one. This also allows for easier refactoring by keeping header files consistent.

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.
