It's now possible to generate files that are about to be added to
CBFS by specifying "sourcefile:method" as real file name.
This makes the build system use the cbfs-files-preprocessor-$(method)
function to create a file from sourcefile. That generated file is
then added to CBFS.
The first method to be defined is "nvramtool". It expects a plain text
specification of the CMOS configuration and emits the binary format
suitable for cmos.default.

The socket mPGA604 is for P4 Xeon which to my knowledge is always
HT-enabled. I assume the existing usage of car/cache_as_ram.inc
on socket_mPGA604, namely the Tyan S2735, as broken.
Existing car/cache_as_ram.inc has invalid SIPI vector and it does
not initialise AP CPU's to activate L2 cache.
Other mPGA604 boards are not affected, as they have not been

This change partially addresses the problem with attempting to
generate coreboot image out of tree. The configuration step fails when
in cheroot, if the destination directory is placed in /tmp.
The problem is that the mconf package tries renaming the temporary
file created in the local directory into the destination config file.
If the destination root and the local directory are located on
different file systems, the rename operation fails.
The proper fix (still upcoming) would be to identify all places where
mconf creates temp files, and make sure that all temp files get
created in the destination tree.
This change modifies just one location, which prevents building out of
tree in the most common case.
Test:
run the following in the coreboot directory in chroot:
(coreboot) cp config.lumpy .config
(coreboot) /bin/rm -rf /tmp/cb
(coreboot) CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnu- make obj=/tmp/cb oldconfig
(coreboot) CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnu- make obj=/tmp/cb
Observe the build succeed (it was failing during the config phase

The x86 memcpy() implementation did not mention its implicit output
registers ESI, EDI and ECX which might make this code miscompile when
the compiler uses the value of EDI for the return value *after* the 'rep
movsb' has completed. That would break the API of memcpy as this would
return 'dst+len' instead of 'dst'.
Fix this possible bug by removing the wrong comment and listing all
output registers as such (using dummy stack variables that get optimized
away).
Also the leading 'cld' is superflous as the ABI mandates the direction
flag to be cleared all the time when we're in C (see
<http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/changes.html>) and we have no ASM call sites
that might require it to be cleared explicitly (SMM might come to mind,
but it clears the DF itself before passing control to the C part of the
SMI handler).
Last but not least fix the prototype to match the one from <string.h>.

raminit and AP CPUs' 16bit entry must be run from ROM.
The AP CPU can only start execute real-mode code at a 4kB aligned
address below 1MB. The protected mode entry code for AP is identical

This patch takes the simplest approach and aligns the bootblock

With >= 4GB memory installed we get a memory map split in the middle
due to remap that has boundaries that are inconveniently aligned for
MTRRs due to the various UMA regions.
0000MB-2780MB 2780MB RAM (writeback)
2780MB-2782MB 2MB TSEG (uncached/SMRR)
2782MB-2784MB 2MB GFX GTT (uncached)

4096MB-5368MB 1272MB RAM (writeback)
5368MB-5376MB 8MB ME UMA (uncached)
The default MTRR allocation method of trying to cover everything
with one MTRR and then carve out a single uncached region does
not work for the GPU aperture which needs write-combining type,
and it also has issues trying to cover the uneven boundaries
in the avaiable variable MTRRs.
My goal was to make a minimal set of changes and avoid modifying
behavior on existing systems with an algorithm that is not always
optimal for a typical memory layout. So the flag 'above4gb=2'
will change these allocation behaviors:
1) Detect the number of available variable MTRRs rather than
limiting to hardcoded value. We need every last MTRR.
2) Don't try to cover all RAM with one MTRR, instead let each
RAM region get covered independently.
3) Don't assume uma_memory_base is part of the last region
and increase the size of that region. In this case the UMA
region is carved out from the lower memory region and it is
already declared as part of the ram region.
4) If a memory region can't be covered with MTRRs >= 16MB then
instead make a larger region and trim it with uncached MTRRs.

Since we do not run option roms in normal mode nothing was
initializing the BDA/EBDA and yet Linux depends very much
on it having sane values here. For the most part the kernel
tries to work around this not being initialized, but every
once in awhile (1/300 boots or so) it would end up reading
something that looked sane from BDA but was not and then
it would panic.
In this change the EBDA is unconditionally setup before devices
are initialized. I'm not set on the location in dev_initialize()
but there does not seem to be another place to hook it in so
that it runs just once for ALL platforms regardless of whether
they use option roms or not. (possibly hardwaremain?)
The EBDA setup code has been moved into its own location in
arch/x86/lib/ebda.c so it can be compiled in even if the option
rom code is not.
The low memory size is still set to 1MB which is enough to make
linux happy without having to hook into each mainboard to get a
more appropriate value. The setup_ebda() function takes inputs
so it could be changed for a mainboard if needed.
OLD/BROKEN would read garbage. Examples from different boots:
ebda_addr=0x75e80 lowmem=0x1553400
ebda_addr=0x5e080 lowmem=0x3e51400
ebda_addr=0x7aa80 lowmem=0x2f8a800

It looks like the cbfstool utility generates the output file even when
it fails to generate it properly. This causes make, if started second
time in a row, after cbfstool failure, to continue beyond the point of
failure (as the corrupted output file is present in the output tree,
the second make invocation presumes that it is valid, as it is newer
than the dependencies).
The output file should be created only when successful, in an atomic
operation. There could be other places in the make system which
require a similar fix, this needs to be investigated further.
