WIP: Initial support for Samsung Exynos 5250 ARM CPU Samsung SoC files, including Exynos5 (a Cortex-A15 implementation). Since this is an SoC we'll forego the x86-style {north,south}bridge and cpu distinction. We may try to split some stuff out before the final version if prudent.

Move ARCH_* from board/Kconfig to cpu or soc Kconfig. CONFIG_ARCH is a property of the cpu or soc rather than a property of the board. Hence, move ARCH_* from every single board to respective cpu or soc Kconfigs. Also update abuild to ignore ARCH_ from mainboards.

cpu/amd: Detect any conflicts between sysinfo and the stack region When increasing the number of supported CPUs on AMD Family 10h/15h systems there is a relatively high chance of causing a collision between the CAR global variable region and the AP stack space. Such collision was noted when increasing the number of supported CPUs to 32 on the ASUS KGPE-D16. Detect collision at runtime and print a warning if collision is present.

arch/x86: Implement RESET_VECTOR_IN_RAM Add support for devices with the reset vector pointing into DRAM. This is a specific implementation that assumes a paradigm of AMD Family 17h (a.k.a. "Zen"). Until the first ljmpl for protected mode, the core's state appears to software like other designs, and then the actual physical addressing becomes recognizable. These systems cannot implement cache-as-RAM as in more traditional x86 products. Therefore instead of reusing CAR names and variables, a substitute called "earlyram" is introduced. This change makes adjustments to CAR-aware files accordingly. Enable NO_XIP_EARLY_STAGES. The first stage is already in DRAM, and running subsequent stages as XIP in the boot device would reduce performance. Finally, add a new early_ram.ld linker file. Because all stages run in DRAM, they can be linked with their .data and .bss as normal, i.e. they don't need to rely on storage available only at a fixed location like CAR systems. The primary purpose of the early_ram.ld is to provide consistent locations for PRERAM_CBMEM_CONSOLE, TIMESTAMP regions, etc. across stages until cbmem is brought online.

buildsystem: Make CPU microcode updating more configurable This patch aims to improve the microcode in CBFS handling that was brought by the last patches from Stefan and the Chromium team. Choices in Kconfig - 1) Generate microcode from tree (default) - 2) Include external microcode file - 3) Do not put microcode in CBFS The idea is to give the user full control over including non-free blobs in the final ROM image. MICROCODE_INCLUDE_PATH Kconfig variable is eliminated. Microcode is handled by a special class, cpu_microcode, as such: cpu_microcode-y += microcode_file.c MICROCODE_IN_CBFS should, in the future, be eliminated. Right now it is needed by intel microcode updating. Once all intel cpus are converted to cbfs updating, this variable can go away. These files are then compiled and assembled into a binary CBFS file. The advantage of doing it this way versus the current method is that 1) The rule is CPU-agnostic 2) Gives user more control over if and how to include microcode blobs 3) The rules for building the microcode binary are kept in src/cpu/Makefile.inc, and thus would not clobber the other makefiles, which are already overloaded and very difficult to navigate.

cpu: Rename CPU_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS to SUPPORT_CPU_UCODE_IN_CBFS CPU_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS was designed to mean that loading microcode updates from a CBFS file is supported, however, the name implies that microcode is present in CBFS. This has recently caused confusion both with contributions from Google, as well as SAGE. Rename this option to SUPPORT_CPU_UCODE_IN_CBFS in order to make it clearer that what is meant is "hey, the code we have for this CPU supports loading microcode updates from CBFS", and prevent further confusion.

Alas, it wasn't visible what platforms these are. And if you specified a file for a platform that already had one, they were all included together. Make it visible which platforms don't provide binaries with the new con- figs MICROCODE_BLOB_NOT_IN_BLOB_REPO, MICROCODE_BLOB_NOT_HOOKED_UP and MICROCODE_BLOB_UNDISCLOSED. Based on that we can decide if we want to include binaries by default or explicitly show that no files are inclu- ded (default to CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_NONE). Also split CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_GENERATE into the more explicit CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_DEFAULT_BINS and CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_EXTERNAL_BINS. And clean up the visibility of options: Don't show CBFS related options on platforms that don't support it and don't show external file options if the platform uses special rules for multiple files (CPU_MICROCODE_ MULTIPLE_FILES).

cpu: Enable per-CPUID microcode loading in CBFS The current design of the `ucode-<variant>.bin` file combines all possible microcode per cpuid into a unified blob. This model increases the microcode loading time from RW CBFS due to higher CBFS verification time (the bigger the CBFS binary the longer the verification takes). This patch creates a provision to pack individual microcodes (per CPUID) into the CBFS (RO and RWs). Implementation logic introduces CPU_INTEL_MICROCODE_CBFS_SPLIT_BINS config which relies on converting Intel CPU microcode INC file into the binary file as per format specified as in `cpu_microcode_$(CPUID).bin`. For example: Intel CPU microcode `m506e3.inc` to convert into `cpu_microcode_506e3.bin` binary file for coreboot to integrate if CPU_INTEL_MICROCODE_CBFS_SPLIT_BINS config is enabled. Another config named CPU_INTEL_UCODE_SPLIT_BINARIES is used to specify the directory name (including path) that holds the split microcode binary files per CPUID for each coreboot variants. For example: if google/kunimitsu had built with Intel SkyLake processor with CPUID `506e3` and `506e4` then CPU_INTEL_UCODE_SPLIT_BINARIES refers to the directory path that holds the split microcode binary files aka cpu_microcode_506e3.bin and cpu_microcode_506e4.bin. Refer to the file representation below: |---3rdparty | |--- blobs | | |--- mainboard | | | |--- google | | | | |--- kunimitsu | | | | | |--- microcode_inputs | | | | | | |--- kunimitsu | | | | | | | |--- cpu_microcode_506e3.bin | | | | | | | |--- cpu_microcode_506e4.bin Users of this config option requires to manually place the microcode binary files per CPUIDs as per the given format (`cpu_microcode_$(CPUID).bin`) in a directory. Finally specify the microcode binary directory path using CPU_UCODE_SPLIT_BINARIES config. Additionally, modified the `find_cbfs_microcode()` logic to search microcode from CBFS by CPUID. This change will improve the microcode verification time from the CBFS, and will make it easier to update individual microcodes.

The GOOD:
Microcode updates intend to solve issues that have been discovered
after CPU production. The expected effect is that systems work as
intended with the updated microcode, but we have also seen cases where
issues were solved by not applying microcode updates.
The BAD:
Note that some operating system include these same microcode patches,
so you may need to also disable microcode updates in your operating
system for this option to have an effect.
The UGLY:
A word of CAUTION: some CPUs depend on microcode updates to function
correctly. Not updating the microcode may leave the CPU operating at
less than optimal performance, or may cause outright hangups.
There are CPUs where coreboot cannot properly initialize the CPU
without microcode updates
For example, if running with the factory microcode, some Intel
SandyBridge CPUs may hang when enabling CAR, or some VIA Nano CPUs
will hang when changing the frequency.
Make sure you have a way of flashing the ROM externally before
selecting this option.

cpu: Add a way to use microcode .h files back to the build The build was changed to remove usage of microcode .h files when all of the .h files were converted to binary. This is still needed for some builds when microcode binaries aren't in the blobs tree.

config CPU_UCODE_BINARIES
string "Microcode binary path and filename"
Untangle CBFS microcode updates The option to specify a binary file name was added later for platforms that do not provide microcode updates in our blobs repository. Alas, it wasn't visible what platforms these are. And if you specified a file for a platform that already had one, they were all included together. Make it visible which platforms don't provide binaries with the new con- figs MICROCODE_BLOB_NOT_IN_BLOB_REPO, MICROCODE_BLOB_NOT_HOOKED_UP and MICROCODE_BLOB_UNDISCLOSED. Based on that we can decide if we want to include binaries by default or explicitly show that no files are inclu- ded (default to CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_NONE). Also split CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_GENERATE into the more explicit CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_DEFAULT_BINS and CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_EXTERNAL_BINS. And clean up the visibility of options: Don't show CBFS related options on platforms that don't support it and don't show external file options if the platform uses special rules for multiple files (CPU_MICROCODE_ MULTIPLE_FILES).

Some platforms have microcode in the blobs directory, and these can
be hardcoded in the makefiles. For platforms with microcode
binaries that aren't in the makefile, set this option to pull
in the microcode.
This should contain the full path of the file for one or more
microcode binary files to include, separated by spaces.
If unsure, leave this blank.
