This patch adds the ability to attach a GDB host through the UART to a
running payload. Libpayload implements a small stub that can parse and
respond to the GDB remote protocol and provide the required primitives
(reading/writing registers/memory, etc.) to allow GDB to control
execution.
The goal of this implementation is to be as small and uninvasive as
possible. It implements only the minimum amount of primitives required,
and relies on GDB's impressive workaround capabilities (such as
emulating breakpoints by temporarily replacing instructions) for the
more complicated features. This way, a relatively tiny amount of code on
the firmware side opens a vast range of capabilities to the user, not
just in debugging but also in remote-controlling the firmware to change
its behavior (e.g. through GDBs ability to modify variables and call
functions).
By default, a system with the REMOTEGDB Kconfig will only trap into GDB
when executing halt() (including the calls from die_if(), assert(), and
exception handlers). In addition, payloads can manually call gdb_enter()
if desired. It will print a final "Ready for GDB connection." on the
serial, detach the normal serial output driver and wait for the commands
that GDB starts sending on attach.
Based on original implementation by Gabe Black <gabeblack@chromium.org>.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:18390
TEST=Boot a GDB enabled image in recovery mode (or get it to hit a
halt()), close your terminal, execute '<toolchain>-gdb --symbols
/build/<board>/firmware/depthcharge_gdb/depthcharge.elf --directory
~/trunk/src/third_party/coreboot/payloads/libpayload --directory
~/trunk/src/platform/depthcharge --directory
~/trunk/src/platform/vboot_reference --ex "target remote
<cpu_uart_pty>"' and behold the magic.
(You can also SIGSTOP your terminal's parent shell and the terminal
itself, and SIGCONT them in reverse order after GDB exits. More
convenient wrapper tools to do all this automatically coming soon.)

There have been leaks of GPL code into libpayload for a while now, for
new features or improvements that require third party code with no
adequate alternative among BSD-licensed software. It seems silly and
counter-productive to keep holding back features and performance
improvements from libpayload for a use-case (proprietary payloads) that
doesn't even seem to be implemented anywhere to date. Open-source
payloads should not need to suffer to appease commercial ones.
Instead, this patch introduces a new Kconfig option to explicitly allow
inclusion of GPL code. It will use Kconfig dependencies and/or Makefile
rules to ensure that no GPL code can end up in the final payload if that
option is unset, allowing proprietary payloads to keep working with the
existing BSD-licensed feature set. New features and patches (that are
sufficiently separate and self-contained to allow guarding through this
config option) can choose whether to import GPL code, and need to depend
on this option if they do.
Also clean up all (known) existing uses of GPL code to depend on the new
option, add some recent third-party imports to the LICENSES file, and
relicense the selfboot.c files to BSD with permission of the author.

The calling convention of payload entry function is different by architecture.
For example, X86 takes no arguments and ARM needs first param to be a
cb_header_ptr*.
To help payloads load and execute other payloads easily and correctly, we should
provide the selfboot() function in libpayload, using same prototype as defined
in coreboot environment.

This patch switches every last part of Coreboot on ARM over to Thumb
mode: libpayload, the internal libgcc, and assorted assembly files. In
combination with the respective depthcharge patch, this will switch to
Thumb mode right after the entry point of the bootblock and not switch
back to ARM until the final assembly stub that jumps to the kernel.
The required changes to make this work include some new headers and
Makefile flags to handle assembly files (using the unified syntax and
the same helper macros as Linux), modifying our custom-written libgcc
code for 64-bit division to support Thumb (removing some stale old files
that were never really used for clarity), and flipping the general
CFLAGS to Thumb (some more cleanup there as well while I'm at it).

This patch fixes the remaining few bugs in our shiny new cache iteration
by set/way/level algorithm to actually make it work: It makes it start
from cache level 0 (previously it would always start at LoC and be
"done" instantly), fixes up the two shifts that isolate the set bits at
the end (which didn't seem to account for the fact that the first shift
affects the second), and throws an S bit on that last shift so that it
actually affects the conditionals after it.
In addition, also moves the next_level block to the top so that we can
share (and thus eliminate) some code at initialization, and turns the
whole thing into a thrice-instantiated macro to create functions that
fit our existing interface.

The memcpy/memset/memmove assembly implementations have been taken from
U-Boot, which originally got them from Linux. I turns out that they are
actually not that bad, but they could use an update. This patch pulls in
the current Linux upstream versions of those files, removing some old
U-Boot cruft such as checking whether the two pointers in a memcpy() are
equal (really now?) or side-stepping the R8 register because it was used
for special purposes. It also returns to the good old Linux
ENTRY/ENDPROC macros since we have them now anyway, and straightens out
the W() macro in preparation for unified thumb support.

This patch removes the -ffixed-r8 CFLAG from the coreboot and libpayload
Makefiles. This seems to be a relic from U-Boot, which uses that
register to keep it's global data structure pointer. There's no reason
for us to throw away a perfectly fine register on this already pretty
constrained architecture.
Also removed a config.h inclusion from the Makefile because that should
really be done inside the C files.

There are ARM systems which are essentially heterogeneous multicores where
some cores implement a different ARM architecture version than other cores. A
specific example is the tegra124 which boots on an ARMv4 coprocessor while
most code, including most of the firmware, runs on the main ARMv7 core. To
support SOCs like this, the plan is to generalize the ARM architecture so that
all versions are available, and an SOC/CPU can then select what architecture
variant should be used for each component of the firmware; bootblock,
romstage, and ramstage.

ARM: Split out ARMv7 code and make it possible to have other arch versions.
We don't always want to use ARMv7 code when building for ARM, so we should
separate out the ARMv7 code so it can be excluded, and also make it possible
to include code for some other version of the architecture instead, all per
build component for cases where we need more than one architecture version
at a time.
The tegra124 bootblock will ultimately need to be ARMv4, but until we have
some ARMv4 code to switch over to we can leave it set to ARMv7.
