This completes the improvements to the ELF file parsing code. We can now parse section headers too, across all 4 combinations of word size and endianness. I had hoped to completely remove the use of htonl until I found it in cbfs_image.c. That's a battle for another day. There's now a handy macro to create magic numbers in host byte order. I'm using it for all the PAYLOAD_SEGMENT_* constants and maybe we can use it for the others too, but this is sensitive code and I'd rather change one thing at a time. To maximize the ease of use for users, elf parsing is accomplished with just one function: int elf_headers(const struct buffer *pinput, Elf64_Ehdr *ehdr, Elf64_Phdr **pphdr, Elf64_Shdr **pshdr) which requires the ehdr and pphdr pointers to be non-NULL, but allows the pshdr to be NULL. If pshdr is NULL, the code will not try to read in section headers. To satisfy our powerful scripts, I had to remove the ^M from an unrelated microcode file. BUG=None TEST=Build a peppy image (known to boot) with old and new versions and verify they are bit-for-bit the same. This was also fully tested across all chromebooks for building and booting and running chromeos. BRANCH=None Change-Id: I54dad887d922428b6175fdb6a9cdfadd8a6bb889 Signed-off-by: Ronald G.

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