Upcoming release - coreboot 4.11

The 4.11 release is planned for October 2019

Update this document with changes that should be in the release notes.

  • Please use Markdown.
  • See the 4.9 and 4.10 release notes for the general format.
  • The chip and board additions and removals will be updated right before the release, so those do not need to be added.

Clean Up

Because there was only a single developer board (AMD Torpedo) using AGESA family 12h, and because there were multiple, unique Coverity issues with it, the associated vendorcode will be removed shortly after this release.

Significant changes

Add significant changes here

__PRE_RAM__ is deprecated

Preprocessor use of defined(__PRE_RAM_) have been mostly replaced with if (ENV_ROMSTAGE_OR_BEFORE) or the inverse if (ENV_RAMSTAGE).

The remaining cases and -D__PRE_RAM__ are to be removed soon after release.

CAR_GLOBAL is removed where possible

For all platform code with NO_CAR_GLOBAL_MIGRATION=y, any CAR_GLOBAL attributes have been removed. Remaining cases from common code are to be removed soon after release.

TSEG and cbmem_top() mapping

Significant refactoring has bee done to achieve some consistency across platforms and to reduce code duplication.
