UPSTREAM: mrc_cache: Move code for triggering memory training into mrc_cache

Currently the decision of whether or not to use mrc_cache in recovery
mode is made within the individual platforms' drivers (ie: fsp2.0,
fsp1.1, etc.).  As this is not platform specific, but uses common
vboot infrastructure, the code can be unified and moved into
mrc_cache.  The conditions are as follows:

  1.  If HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE, use mrc_cache data (unless retrain
      switch is true)
  2.  If !HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE && VBOOT_STARTS_IN_BOOTBLOCK, this
      means that memory training will occur after verified boot,
      meaning that mrc_cache will be filled with data from executing
      RW code.  So in this case, we never want to use the training
      data in the mrc_cache for recovery mode.
  3.  If !HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE && VBOOT_STARTS_IN_ROMSTAGE, this
      means that memory training happens before verfied boot, meaning
      that the mrc_cache data is generated by RO code, so it is safe
      to use for a recovery boot.
  4.  Any platform that does not use vboot should be unaffected.

Additionally, we have removed the
MRC_CLEAR_NORMAL_CACHE_ON_RECOVERY_RETRAIN config because the
mrc_cache driver takes care of invalidating the mrc_cache data for
normal mode.  If the platform:
  1.  !HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE, always invalidate mrc_cache data
  2.  HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE, only invalidate if retrain switch is set

BUG=b:150502246
BRANCH=trogdor
TEST=1. run dut-control power_state:rec_force_mrc twice on lazor
        ensure that memory retraining happens both times
        run dut-control power_state:rec twice on lazor
        ensure that memory retraining happens only first time
     2. remove HAS_RECOVERY_MRC_CACHE from lazor Kconfig
        boot twice to ensure caching of memory training occurred
	on each boot.

coreboot README

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.

Payloads

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired “payload” can be started by coreboot.

See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.

Supported Hardware

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

Build Requirements

  • make
  • gcc / g++ Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot does lots of “unusual” things in its build system, some of which break due to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that‘s worse - by generating broken object code. Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you’re feeling lucky (no support in this case).
  • iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
  • pkg-config
  • libssl-dev (openssl)

Optional:

  • doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
  • gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
  • ncurses (for make menuconfig and make nconfig)
  • flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)

Building coreboot

Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.

Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.

Website and Mailing List

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
