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/

Coreboot and u-boot create a table of timestamps which allows to see
the boot process performance. The util/cbmem/cbmem.py script allows to
access the table after ChromeOS boots up and display its contents on
the console. The problem is that shipping images do not include Python
interpreter, so there is no way to access the table on a production
machine.
This change introduces a utility which is a Linux app displaying the
timestamp table. Conceivably the output of this utility might be
included in one of the ChromeOS :/system sections, so it was attempted
to write this procedure 'fail safe', namely reporting errors and not
continuing processing if something goes wrong.
Including of coreboot/src .h files will allow to keep the firmware
timestamp implementation and this utility in sync in the future.
Test:
. build the utility (run 'make' while in chroot in util/cbmem)
. copy `cbmem' and 'cbmem.py' to the target
. run both utilities (limiting cbmem.py output to 25 lines or so)
. observe that the generated tables are identical (modulo rounding
up of int division, resulting in 1 ns discrepancies in some
cases)
