Old routine copied all of CAR region as-is right below CONFIG_RAMTOP.
Most of this region was reserved to interleave AP CPU address spaces
and unused on BSP CPU. The only part of CAR region requiring a copy
in RAM is the sysinfo structure.
Improved routine changes this as follows:
A region of size 'backup_size' below CONFIG_RAMTOP is cleared. In
case of S3 resume, OS context from this region is first copied to
high memory (CBMEM_ID_RESUME).
At stack switch, CAR stack is discarded. Top of the stack for BSP
is located at 'CONFIG_RAMTOP - car_size' for the remaining part
of the romstage. This region is part of 'backup_size' and was zeroed
before the switch took place.
Before CAR is torn down the region of CAR_GLOBALS (and CAR_CBMEM),
including the relevant sysinfo data for AP nodes memory training,
is copied at 'CONFIG_RAMTOP - car_size'.
NOTE: While CAR_GLOBAL variables are recovered, there are currently
no means to calculate their offsets in RAM.
NOTE: Boards with multiple CPU packages are likely already broken since

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