Stefan Reinauer 19f8756f00 cbmem utility: Add option to dump cbmem console
This adds an option to the cbmem utility to dump the cbmem console.
To keep the utility backwards compatible, specifying -c disables
printing of time stamps. To print both console and time stamps, run
the utility with -ct

Stefan Reinauer 1665bb3896 cbmem utility: drop obsolete python based implementation
The first version of the cbmem utility was written in python,
but it had issues with 64bit systems and other little hick ups.
Since the C version has much fewer dependencies (no python needed
on target system), and it works in all corner cases, drop the
python version.

Stefan Reinauer 05cbce672e cbmem utility: Use mmap instead of fseek/fread
The kernel on Ubuntu 12.04LTS does not allow to use
fseek/fread to read the coreboot table at the end of
memory but will instead abort cbmem with a "Bad Address"
error.

Whether that is a security feature (some variation of
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM) or a kernel bug is not  yet clear,
however using mmap works nicely.

Stefan Reinauer 1e0e55615f cbmem utility: support command line options
The tool could print much more useful information than
just time stamps, for example the cbmem console on systems
that don't have a kernel patched to support /sys/firmware/log.

Hence, add command line option parsing to make adding such
features easier in the future.

Vadim Bendebury 6d18fd09c3 Utility to dump boot timing table
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)

Vadim Bendebury 00ba25decb Get more informative output from cbmem.py
This is a cosmetic change which formats timestamp information

Instead of printing timestamps in a single line, print them one per
line and add time (in us) elapsed since the previous timestamp.

Vadim Bendebury f27d36c361 Fix cbmem to work on 64 bit platforms
For some reason which I fail to understand, specifying endiannes using
'@' (which means 'native' and should be the same as '<' on x86
platforms) causes cbmem.py to crash the machine on 64 bit systems.

What happens is that the addresses read from various table headers'
struct representations do not make sense, when bogus address gets
passed to get_phys_mem, the crash happens while that function is
executed.

dlaurie@ found out that replacing "@" with "<" in fact fixes the
issue. After some investigation I am just submitting this fix without
much understanding of the root cause.

Gabe Black 5d3438de41 Revamp cbmem.py to use the coreboot tables.
This change makes significant changes to cbmem.py to make it use the
coreboot tables to find the memory console and timestamp areas instead
of looking for the in memory table TOC structure. That appears to be
more robust and gets cbmem.py working again after some unrelated
changes that affected memory layout.

It also introduces some small infrastructure to make accessing C style
structures in physical memory easier and more transparent.

Vadim Bendebury b93f74bb07 Introduce utility for parsing CBMEM contents.
This is a python script which is supposed to run on a target
which is controlled by coreboot. The script examines top of
memory looking for the CBMEM signature at addresses aligned at
128K boundary. Once the script finds the CBMEM, it iterates
through the CBMEM table of contents and parses two entries: the
timestamps and the console log.

This submission is just a template to build upon to create a
utility for displaying CBMEM information while running Linux on
the target.
