2014-09-04cbfstool:linux_trampoline: config CS and DS segment descriptorsCurt Brune
The Linux trampoline code does not set up the segment descriptors for __BOOT_CS and __BOOT_DS as described in the Linux kernel documentation: ... a GDT must be loaded with the descriptors for selectors __BOOT_CS(0x10) and __BOOT_DS(0x18); both descriptors must be 4G flat segment; __BOOT_CS must have execute/read permission, and __BOOT_DS must have read/write permission; This is not a problem when launching a Linux payload from coreboot, as coreboot configures the segment descriptors at selectors 0x10 and 0x18. Coreboot configures these selectors in the ramstage to match what the Linux kernel expects (see coreboot/src/arch/x86/lib/c_start.S). When the cbfs payload is launched in other environments, SeaBIOS for example, the segment descriptors are configured differently and the cbfs Linux payload does not work. If the cbfs Linux payload is to be used in multiple environments should the trampoline needs to take care of the descriptors that Linux requires. This patch updates the Linux trampoline code to configure the 4G flat descriptors that Linux expects. The configuration is borrowed from the descriptor configs in coreboot/src/arch/x86/lib/c_start.S for selectors 0x10 and 0x18. The linux_trampoline code is slightly refractored by defining the trampoline entry address, 0x40000, as TRAMPOLINE_ENTRY_LOC. This definition is moved into a separate header file, linux_trampoline.h. This header file is now included by both the trampoline assembly language code and the trampoline loader C code. The trampoline assembly language code can now use TRAMPOLINE_ENTRY_LOC as scratch space for the sgdt CPU instruction. Testing Done: Verified the Linux payload is booted correctly in the following environments: 1. Coreboot -> Linux Payload 2. Coreboot -> SeaBIOS -> Linux Payload: (previously did not work) Change-Id: I888f74ff43073a6b7318f6713a8d4ecb804c0162 Signed-off-by: Curt Brune <curt@cumulusnetworks.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/6796 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Paul Menzel <paulepanter@users.sourceforge.net> Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

2014-05-09cbfstool: account for the trampoline code in bzImage payloadAaron Durbin
For bzImages the trampoline segment is added unconditionally. However, that segment wasn't properly being accounted for. Explicitly add the trampoline segments like the other ones.

2014-03-28cbfstool: provide structure to linux payload builderAaron Durbin
This change started with tracking down a bug where the trampoline size was not being taken into account for sizing the output buffer leading to a heap corruption. I was having a hard time keeping track of what num_segments actually tracked as well as what parts were being placed in the output buffer. Here's my attempt at hopefully providing more clarity. This change doesn't crash when adding a bzImage: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=bb.bin bs=64 count=1 $ ./cbfstool tmp.rom create -s 4M -B bb.bin -m x86 -a 64 $ ./cbfstool tmp.rom add-payload -f ~/Downloads/bzImage -C "1" -n "fallback"/payload Change-Id: Ib1de1ddfec3c7102facffc5815c52b340fcdc628 Signed-off-by: Aaron Durbin <adurbin@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/5408 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Edward O'Callaghan <eocallaghan@alterapraxis.com> Reviewed-by: Marc Jones <marc.jones@se-eng.com>
2014-02-05Change the linux payload generator to use the standard header generatorRonald G. Minnich
When I changed mkpayload, I did not realize we had a duplicate block of code in the linux payload code. Have it use the same header generator as the standard payload code does.

2013-08-31Add a (b)zImage parser to cbfstoolPatrick Georgi
In the great tradition of LinuxBIOS this allows adding a kernel as payload. add-payload is extended to also allow adding an initial ramdisk (-I filename) and a command line (-C console=ttyS0).
