CB:35077 pulled TPM measurement code into the bootblock, with the catch that we'll only cache PCR extensions and not actually write them to the TPM until it gets initialized in a later stage. The goal of this was to keep the heavy TPM driver code out of the size-constrained bootblock. Unfortunately, a small mistake in the tspi_tpm_is_setup() function prevents the compiler from eliminating references to the TPM driver code in the bootblock on platforms with CONFIG_VBOOT and CONFIG_SEPARATE_VERSTAGE. In those cases vboot_logic_executed() is known at compile-time to be 0, but that still makes the final expression `return 0 || tpm_is_setup;`. We know that tpm_is_setup can never be set to 1 in the bootblock, but the compiler doesn't. This patch rewrites the logic slightly to achieve the same effect in a way that the compiler can follow (because we only really need to check tpm_is_setup in the stage that actually runs the vboot code).

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 https://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:
Build Requirements
- make
- gcc / g++
Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot
does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due
to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse -
by generating broken object code.
Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the
ANY_TOOLCHAIN
Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case). - iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
- pkg-config
- libssl-dev (openssl)
Optional:
- doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
- gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
- ncurses (for
make menuconfig
andmake nconfig
) - flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)
Building coreboot
Please consult https://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 https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
