CBFS uses sprintf, which requires vtxprintf, which requires (in the
current design) a nested function. That works on x86, but on PPC this
requires a trampoline. In the ROM stage, this is not available, so
remove the single use of sprintf and replace it with a direct string
handler - it's only used to fill in fixed-length hex values.

cbfs files at fixed addresses.
I call this transitional as the approach I am taking is to add
capability to cbfstool but not change code in a way that will break
existing usages. Later, once we're sure nothing has broken, we can start to
smooth the edges.
Right now, fixed address file are only supported via the add command.
There is one additional command syntax, so, example:
cbfstool add rom romstrap optionrom 0xffffd000
Will add the file to that fix location for a romstrap.
The assumption is that the ROM is based at the end of a 32-bit address
space. As you can see from the code, that assumption can easily be
over-ridden, if we ever need to, with a command option.
Here is one example output result.
rminnich@xcpu2:~/src/bios/coreboot-v2/util/cbfstool$ ./cbfstool x.cbf print
x.cbf: 1024 kB, bootblocksize 32768, romsize 1048576, offset 0x0
Alignment: 16 bytes
Name Offset Type Size
h 0x0 optionrom 251
0x130 free 917120
h3 0xdffe0 optionrom 251
0xe0110 free 97960
The way this is implemented is pretty simple. I introduce a new
operator, split, that splits an unallocated area into two unallocated
areas. Then, allocation merely becomes a matter of 0, 1, or 2 splits:
0 split -- the free area is the exact fit
1 splits -- need to split some off the front or back
2 splits -- need to split off BOTH the front and back
I think you'll be able to see what I've done. I call this transitional
because, in the end state, we only need one allocate function; for now
I've left two in, to make sure I don't break compatibilty.
Why I like this better than ldscript approach: I like having the
ROMSTRAP located by cbfs, not linker scripts. For one thing, it makes
romstrap visible as a first class object. I think I would have latched
onto a problem I was having much more quickly had I remembered the
ROMSTRAP. It gets lost in the linker scripts.
At this point, we should be able to start removing special ROMSTRAP location
code from linker scripts.

instead of coreboot.strip. That fixes the normal
image because the calculations for its offset in
the ROM match reality again.
This requires changes in CBFS configurations to
minimize the bootblock size. These are also done
for CBFS boards.
Other than this a couple of minor fixes are in this
patch:
- make asus/m2v-mx_se build with abuild with a
crosscompiler
- move CONFIG_CBFS for hp/dl145_g3 to Options.lb
as it's done everywhere else
- change the default config of abuild to not
provide ROM_IMAGE_SIZE values for the images
in a CBFS configuration
- change abuild's crosscompile autodetection to
not try to use "i386-elf-i386-elf-gcc" (which
is bogus)
Except for the latter two abuild changes (both
in util/abuild/abuild), they're available as
patch set on the mailing list in a mail from
2009-06-05 titled
[PATCH]es to get normal image to work again with CBFS
The changes in util/abuild/abuild are trivial and
abuild tested.
As discussed on the list,
targets/hp/dl145_g3/Config-abuild.lb is

To ease some of my debugging pain on the unichrome, i decided i needed to
move FB size selection into cmos, so i could test a size and then reset it
to the default after loading this value so that the next reboot uses the
(working) default again. This meant implementing set_option in parallel to
get_option.
get_option was then found to have inversed argument ordering (like outb) and
passing char * and then depending on the cmos layout length, which made me
feel quite uncomfortable. Since we either have reserved space (which we
shouldn't do anything with in these two functions), an enum or a
hexadecimal value, unsigned int seemed like the way to go. So all users of
get_option now have their arguments inversed and switched from using ints
to unsigned ints now.
The way get_cmos_value was implemented forced us to not overlap byte and to
have multibyte values be byte aligned. This logic is now adapted to do a
full uint32_t read (when needed) at any offset and any length up to 32, and
the shifting all happens inside an uint32_t as well. set_cmos_value was
implemented similarly. Both routines have been extensively tested in a
quick separate little program as it is not easy to get this stuff right.
build_opt_tbl.c was altered to function correctly within these new
parameters. The enum value retrieval has been changed strol(..., NULL, 10)
to stroul(..., NULL, 0), so that we not only are able to use unsigned ints
now but so that we also interprete hex values correctly. The 32bit limit
gets imposed on all entries not marked reserved, an unused "user_data" field
that appeared in a lot of cmos.layouts has been changed to reserved as well.

It makes the write part of flashrom dramatically faster with small
payloads like filo; and it also eliminates unnecessary wear on flash
by not writing zeros (it's unlikely this really matters; let me know
next time you flash a BIOS flash 100,000 times!).
More importantly, it allows for future partial flash upgrades with cbfs.
Note that uninitialized_flash_value is a global that can, if we ever need it,
be set by an argument in main. Assuming we ever see a flash where the
"erased" value is 0, not 0xff.
At the same time, "erased" value has been "1" on every EEPROM or
FLASH I've used for some time now.

Change sizes from unsigned int to int.
Clean up some usage and parameter checking.

src/lib/ code in coreboot. I.e. the tool changes but the coreboot code
does not.
Currently, as cbfstool manages the ROM, there are files and empty
space. To allocate files, the code does, first, a walk of the headers
and, if that fails, does a brute-force search of the rest of the
space.
We all agree that the brute-force search has lots of problems from a
performance and correctness standpoint.
I've made a slight change. Instead of an "empty space" area with no
valid headers, I've made a header for the empty space.
So cbfs creation looks like this:
- set up the boot block
- create a file, of type CBFS_COMPONENT_NULL, that contains the empty
space. CBFS_COMPONENT_NULL was already defined in cbfs.h
Here's an example:
[rminnich@xcpu2 cbfstool]$ ./cbfstool testcbfs create 1048576 2048
(cbfstool) E: Unable to open (null): Bad address
[rminnich@xcpu2 cbfstool]$ ./cbfstool testcbfs print
testcbfs: 1024 kB, bootblocksize 2048, romsize 1048576, offset 0x0
Alignment: 16 bytes
Name Offset Type Size
0x0 0xffffffff 1046456
So how do we create a new file?
It's easy: walk the files and find a file of type CBFS_COMPONENT_NULL,
which is as large
or larger than the file you are trying to create. Then you use that file.
- if the file is the same size as the NULL file, then it's easy: take it
- if the file is smaller than the NULL file, you split the NULL file
into two parts.
note that this works in the base case: the base case is that the whole
storage is CBFS_COMPONENT_NULL.
Here's an example of adding a file.
[rminnich@xcpu2 cbfstool]$ ./cbfstool testcbfs add-stage testfixed t
[rminnich@xcpu2 cbfstool]$ ./cbfstool testcbfs print
testcbfs: 1024 kB, bootblocksize 2048, romsize 1048576, offset 0x0
Alignment: 16 bytes
Name Offset Type Size
t 0x0 stage 23176
0x5ab0 0xffffffff 1023240
Note that the NULL split and got smaller. But the entire ROM is still
contained by the two files. To walk this entire rom will require two
FLASH accesses.
Add another file:
[rminnich@xcpu2 cbfstool]$ ./cbfstool testcbfs add-stage testfixed tt
[rminnich@xcpu2 cbfstool]$ ./cbfstool testcbfs print
testcbfs: 1024 kB, bootblocksize 2048, romsize 1048576, offset 0x0
Alignment: 16 bytes
Name Offset Type Size
t 0x0 stage 23176
tt 0x5ab0 stage 23176
0xb560 0xffffffff 1000024
[rminnich@xcpu2 cbfstool]$
So, taking current ROMs as an example, I can reduce FLASH accesses for
cbfs from (potentially) thousands to (typically) less than 10.
Index: fs.c
Changes for readability and cleanliness. Move common blobs of code to functions.
New function: rom_alloc,which allocates files by finding NULL files and using/splitting.
Other changes as needed to support this usage.
Index: util.c
Creating a cbfs archive now requires creation of a NULL file covering the file system space.
Index: cbfs.h
Add a DELETED file type with value 0. Any file can be marked deleted by zero its type; this is a
FLASH-friendly definition for all known FLASH types.

I think it is a step in the right direction. Could you add the
function prototype to cbfstool.h?

(I added the prototype)
