It was found that the Haswell reference code was smashing through the stack into the reference code's heap implementation. The reason for this is because our current CAR allocation is too small. Moreover there are quite a few things to coordinate between 2 code bases to get correct. This commit separates the CAR into 2 parts: 1. MRC CAR usage. 2. Coreboot CAR usage. Pointers from one region can be passed between the 2 modules, but one should not be able to affect the others as checking has been put into place in both modules. The CAR size has effectively been doubled from 0x20000 (128 KiB) to 0x40000 (256KiB). Not all of that increase was needed, but enforcing a power of 2 size only utilizes 1 MTRR. Old CAR layout with a single contiguous stack with the region starting at CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_BASE: +---------------------------------------+ Offset CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_SIZE | MRC global variables | | CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_MRC_VAR_SIZE bytes | +---------------------------------------+ | ROM stage stack | | | | | +---------------------------------------+ | MRC Heap 30000 bytes | +---------------------------------------+ | ROM stage console | | CONFIG_CONSOLE_CAR_BUFFER_SIZE bytes | +---------------------------------------+ | ROM stage CAR_GLOBAL variables | +---------------------------------------+ Offset 0 There was some hard coded offsets in the reference code wrapper to start the heap past the console buffer. Even with this commit the console can smash into the following region depending on what size CONFIG_CONSOLE_CAR_BUFFER_SIZE is. As noted above This change splits the CAR region into 2 parts starting at CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_BASE: +---------------------------------------+ | MRC Region | | CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_MRC_VAR_SIZE bytes | +---------------------------------------+ Offset CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_SIZE | ROM stage stack | | | | | +---------------------------------------+ | ROM stage console | | CONFIG_CONSOLE_CAR_BUFFER_SIZE bytes | +---------------------------------------+ | ROM stage CAR_GLOBAL variables | +---------------------------------------+ Offset 0 Another variable was add, CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_ROMSTAGE_STACK_SIZE, which represents the expected stack usage for the romstage. A marker is checked at the base of the stack to determine if either the stack was smashed or the console encroached on the stack.

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