This improves boot time in 2 ways for a firmware upgrade:
1. Normally MRC would detect the S0 state without an MRC cache
even though it's told to the S5 path. When it observes this
state a cold reset occurs. The cold reset stays in S5 for
at least 4 seconds which is time observed by the end user.
2. As the EC was running RW code before the reset after firmware
upgrade it will still be running the older RW code. Vboot will
then reboot the EC and the whole system to put the EC into RO
mode so it can handle the RW update.
The issues are mitigated by detecting the system is in S0 with
no MRC cache and the EC isn't in RO mode. Therefore we can do the
reboot without waiting the 4 secs and the EC is running RO so
the 2nd reboot is not necessary.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:24133
BRANCH=rambi,squawks
TEST=Booted. Updated firmware while in OS. Rebooted. Noted the
EC reboot before MRC execution.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
