Julius Werner 9665d389e4 libpayload: dma_malloc: Prevent warm reboot problems and add debugging
Since the DMA memory is allocated by Coreboot (outside of the payload's
linker script), it won't get zeroed upon loading like the heap.
Therefore, a warm reboot that doesn't reset memory may leave stale
malloc cookies lying around and misinterpret them as memory that is
still in use on the next boot. After several boots this may fill up the
whole DMA memory and lead to OOM conditions.

Therefore, this patch explicitly wipes the first cookie in
init_dma_memory() to prevent that from happening. It also expands the
existing memory allocator debugging code to cover the DMA parts, which
was very helpful in identifying this particular problem.

Julius Werner 509c37e750 libpayload: Make EHCI driver cache-aware
This patch makes the EHCI driver work on ARM platforms which usually do
not support automatic cache snooping. It uses the new DMA memory
mechanism (which needs to be correctly set up in the Coreboot mainboard
code) to allocate all EHCI-internal communication structures in
cache-coherent memory, and cleans/invalidates the externally supplied
transfer buffers in Bulk and Control functions with explicit calls as
necessary.

libpayload: ehci: Cache management is hard, let's go copying...

It turns out that my previous commit to make the EHCI stack cache aware
on ARM devices wasn't quite correct, and the problem is actually much
trickier than I thought. After having some fun with more weird transfer
problems that appear/disappear based on stack alignment, this is my
current worst-case threat model that any cache managing implementation
would need to handle correctly:

Some upper layer calls ehci_bulk() with a transfer buffer on its stack.
Due to stack alignment, it happens to start just at the top of a cache
line, so up to 64 - 4 bytes of ehci_bulk's stack will share that line.
ehci_bulk() calls dcache_clean() and initializes the USB transfer.
Between that point and the call to dcache_invalidate() at the end of
ehci_bulk(), any access to the stack variables in that cache line (even
a speculative prefetch) will refetch the line into the cache. Afterwards
any other access to a random memory location that just happens to get
aliased to the same cache line may evict it again, causing the processor
to write out stale data to the transfer buffer and possibly overwrite
data that has already been received over USB.

In short, any dcache_clean/dcache_invalidate-based implementation that
preserves correctness while allowing any arbitrary (non cache-aligned)
memory location as a transfer buffer is presumed to be impossible.
Instead, this patch causes all transfer data to be copied to/from a
cache-coherent bounce buffer. It will still transfer directly if the
supplied buffer is already cache-coherent, which can be used by callers
to optimize their transfers (and is true by default on x86).

Julius Werner b8fad3d029 arm: libpayload: Add cache coherent DMA memory definition and management
This patch adds a mechanism to set aside a region of cache-coherent
(i.e. usually uncached) virtual memory, which can be used to communicate
with DMA devices without automatic cache snooping (common on ARM)
without the need of explicit flush/invalidation instructions in the
driver code.

This works by setting aside said region in the (board-specific) page
table setup, as exemplary done in this patch for the Snow and Pit
boards. It uses a new mechanism for adding board-specific Coreboot table
entries to describe this region in an entry with the LB_DMA tag.

Libpayload's memory allocator is enhanced to be able to operate on
distinct types/regions of memory. It provides dma_malloc() and
dma_memalign() functions for use in drivers, which by default just
operate on the same heap as their traditional counterparts. However, if
the Coreboot table parsing code finds a CB_DMA section, further requests
through the dma_xxx() functions will return memory from the region
described therein instead.

Gabe Black 1ee2c6dbdf libpayload: Change CONFIG_* to CONFIG_LP_* in the kconfig.
When libpayload header files are included in the payload itself, it's possible
that the payloads config settings will conflict with the ones in libpayload.
It's also possible for the libpayload config settings to conflict with the
payloads. To avoid that, the libpayload config settings have _LP_ (for
libpayload) added to them. The symbols themselves as defined in the Config.in files
are still the same, but the prefix added to them is now CONFIG_LP_ instead of just
CONFIG_.
