Paul Menzel 8c8af592ca AMD Brazos/Trinity boards: PlatformGnbPcie.c: Reserve correct amount of memory
In `PlatformGnbPcie.c` AGESA functions are used to reserve memory
space to save the PCIe configuration to. This is the

With the following definitions in `AGESA.h`

      IN       PCIe_ENGINE_DATA     EngineData;               ///< Engine data
      IN       PCIe_PORT_DATA       Port;                     ///< PCIe port specific configuration info

      IN       PCIe_DDI_DATA        Ddi;                      ///< DDI port specific configuration info
    } PCIe_DDI_DESCRIPTOR;

    /// PCIe Complex descriptor
    typedef struct {

                                                               * @li @b Bit31 - last descriptor in topology
                                                               */
      IN       UINT32               SocketId;                 ///< Socket Id
      IN       PCIe_PORT_DESCRIPTOR *PciePortList;            ///< Pointer to array of PCIe port descriptors or NULL (Last element of array must be terminated with DESCRIPTOR_TERMINATE_LIST).
      IN       PCIe_DDI_DESCRIPTOR  *DdiLinkList;             ///< Pointer to array DDI link descriptors (Last element of array must be terminated with DESCRIPTOR_TERMINATE_LIST).
      IN       VOID                 *Reserved;                ///< Reserved for future use
    } PCIe_COMPLEX_DESCRIPTOR;
    […]

memory has to be reserved for the `PCIe_COMPLEX_DESCRIPTOR` and,
as two struct members are pointers to arrays with elements of type
`PCIe_PORT_DESCRIPTOR` and `PCIe_DDI_DESCRIPTOR`, space for these
times the number of array elements have to be reserved:
a + b * 5 + c * 2.

      sizeof(PCIe_COMPLEX_DESCRIPTOR)
    + sizeof(PCIe_PORT_DESCRIPTOR) * 5
    + sizeof(PCIe_DDI_DESCRIPTOR) * 2;

But for whatever reason parentheses were put in there making this
calculation incorrect and reserving too much memory.

    (a + b * 5 + c) * 2

So, remove the parentheses to reserve the exact amount of memory
needed.

The ASRock E350M1 still boots with these changes. No changes were
observed as expected.

Rudolf Marek made this change as part of his patch »ASUS F2A85-M:
Correct and clean up PCIe config« [1]. Factor this hunk out as it
affects all AMD Brazos and Trinity based boards.

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:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
