This patch makes the EHCI driver work on ARM platforms which usually do not support automatic cache snooping. It uses the new DMA memory mechanism (which needs to be correctly set up in the Coreboot mainboard code) to allocate all EHCI-internal communication structures in cache-coherent memory, and cleans/invalidates the externally supplied transfer buffers in Bulk and Control functions with explicit calls as necessary.

It turns out that my previous commit to make the EHCI stack cache aware on ARM devices wasn't quite correct, and the problem is actually much trickier than I thought. After having some fun with more weird transfer problems that appear/disappear based on stack alignment, this is my current worst-case threat model that any cache managing implementation would need to handle correctly: Some upper layer calls ehci_bulk() with a transfer buffer on its stack. Due to stack alignment, it happens to start just at the top of a cache line, so up to 64 - 4 bytes of ehci_bulk's stack will share that line. ehci_bulk() calls dcache_clean() and initializes the USB transfer. Between that point and the call to dcache_invalidate() at the end of ehci_bulk(), any access to the stack variables in that cache line (even a speculative prefetch) will refetch the line into the cache. Afterwards any other access to a random memory location that just happens to get aliased to the same cache line may evict it again, causing the processor to write out stale data to the transfer buffer and possibly overwrite data that has already been received over USB. In short, any dcache_clean/dcache_invalidate-based implementation that preserves correctness while allowing any arbitrary (non cache-aligned) memory location as a transfer buffer is presumed to be impossible. Instead, this patch causes all transfer data to be copied to/from a cache-coherent bounce buffer. It will still transfer directly if the supplied buffer is already cache-coherent, which can be used by callers to optimize their transfers (and is true by default on x86).

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