Kapil Porwal 66e44e3252 soc/intel/meteorlake: Skip setting D0I3 bit for HECI devices 
This patch skips setting D0I3 bit for all HECI devices by FSP.

The learning being made from Alder Lake platform showed that the CSE
EOP cmd response time is highly nondeterministic and letting the EOP
cmd issued by FSP makes the response time even worse.

The idea being pursued during Alder Lake platform is to let FSP skip sending the EOP cmd and coreboot sends it at the last minute
(late sending of EOP) to ensure there is ample time for CSE to come
to a state where the response to the EOP is almost immediate.

There were a number of refactoring being done to ensure the EOP cmd
can be sent at the later stage.

#1: Ensure FSP is not putting those HECI devices into the D0i3. (SoC specific change)
#2: Modify the CSE related boot state based operation to allow a
proper window for sending late EOP cmd. (Common Code Specific change)

The entire refactoring helps us to save ~60ms of boot time.

Without those code change EOP sending timestamp as below:

943:after sending EOP to ME                     1,248,328(61,954))

With those code change EOP sending timestamp as below:

943:after sending EOP to ME                     1,231,660 (2,754)

Port of commit d6da4ef69e ("soc/intel/alderlake: Skip setting D0I3
bit for HECI devices") to incorporate the #1 which is a SoC specific
code change.

BUG=none
TEST=FSP-S UPD dump suggested `DisableD0I3SettingForHeci` UPD is
set to `1`.

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:

  • gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
  • ncurses (for make menuconfig and make 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.

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:
