Transition library provides the following functionalities: 1) Setup the environment for switching to any particular EL and jump to the loaded program at that EL. In short "Execute program X at exception level Y using the state Z" 2) Provides routines for exception entry and exception exit that can be used by any program to implement exception handling. The only routine required by the program would be exc_dispatch which handles the exception in its own required way and returns by making a call to exc_exit. On exc_exit, the transition library unwinds the whole stack by popping out the saved state of xregs BUG=chrome-os-partner:30785 BRANCH=None TEST=Compiles successfully and exceptions are tested for ramstage on ryu Change-Id: I8116556109665e61a53e4b3987d649e3cfed64a1 Signed-off-by: Patrick Georgi <pgeorgi@chromium.org> Original-Commit-Id: 8ab888e8cae0c5f1e79b0e16ca292869f16f1cca Original-Change-Id: I90f664ac657258724dc0c79bd9f6ceef70064f90 Original-Signed-off-by: Furquan Shaikh <furquan@google.com> Original-Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/216375 Original-Reviewed-by: Aaron Durbin <adurbin@chromium.org> Original-Tested-by: Furquan Shaikh <furquan@chromium.org> Original-Commit-Queue: Furquan Shaikh <furquan@chromium.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/9070 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Stefan Reinauer <stefan.reinauer@coreboot.org> |

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