We had mixed virtual and physical pointers in struct sysinfo_t. Some
being virtual by accident which led to problems when we tried to
reinitialize lib_sysinfo after relocating FILO (to get intentionally
virtual pointers valid again). I guess this didn't cause much trouble
before, as lib_get_sysinfo() was always called with physical addresses
being equal to their virtual counterparts.
For FILO, two possibilities seem practical: Either, have all pointers in
struct sysinfo_t physical, so relocation doesn't hurt. Or, have all
pointers virtual and call lib_get_sysinfo() again after relocation.
This patch goes the latter way, changing the following pointers for
situations where virtual pointers differ from physical:
.extra_version
.build
.compile_time
.compile_by
.compile_host
.compile_domain
.compiler
.linker
.assembler
.cb_version
.vdat_addr
.tstamp_table
.cbmem_cons
.mrc_cache
We could also just correct the accidentally virtual pointers. But, IMO,
this would lower the risk of future confusion.
Note 1: Looks like .version gets never set.
Note 2: .option_table and .framebuffer were virtual pointers but treated
like physical ones. Even in FILO, this led to no problems as
they were set before relocation.

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