In order to provide some insight on what code is executed during coreboot's run time and how well our test scenarios work, this adds code coverage support to coreboot's ram stage. This should be easily adaptable for payloads, and maybe even romstage. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html for more information. To instrument coreboot, select CONFIG_COVERAGE ("Code coverage support") in Kconfig, and recompile coreboot. coreboot will then store its code coverage information into CBMEM, if possible. Then, run "cbmem -CV" as root on the target system running the instrumented coreboot binary. This will create a whole bunch of .gcda files that contain coverage information. Tar them up, copy them to your build system machine, and untar them. Then you can use your favorite coverage utility (gcov, lcov, ...) to visualize code coverage. For a sneak peak of what will expect you, please take a look at http://www.coreboot.org/~stepan/coreboot-coverage/ Change-Id: Ib287d8309878a1f5c4be770c38b1bc0bb3aa6ec7 Signed-off-by: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer@google.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/2052 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: David Hendricks <dhendrix@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Martin Roth <martin@se-eng.com> Reviewed-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.
