In order to support the GSMI interface the SMI handler needs to find and use the state save area from the same CPU that initiated the SMI. In this case it is a synchronous SMI resulting form an IO write to port 0xB2. To find the right CPU state save area iterate over the region until the "IO Misc Info" field reports the expected value and then proceed to use that state save area. This is needed because the coreboot SMI handler only executes on one core, and that core is non-deterministic. It is likely that the core executing the C SMM handler is not the same one that actually did the IO write to 0xB2 and generated the SMI. The GSMI parameter buffer is passed as a pointer to EBX in the tate save area, and the GSMI command is extracted from EAX before it is used as the return value. This interface is tested by enabling CONFIG_GOOGLE_GSMI in the kernel and generating events and verifying that they end up in the event log. 159 | 2012-06-23 16:22:45 | Kernl Event | Clean Shutdown 184 | 2012-06-23 17:14:05 | Kernl Event | Oops 185 | 2012-06-23 17:14:05 | Kernl Event | Panic Change-Id: Ic121ea69e9f50c88467c435e095c3e3629989806 Signed-off-by: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/1317 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------ If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
