Furquan Shaikh f9be2d10c9 soc/amd/picasso: Enable APOB/MRC training data cache 
Picasso doesn't really make use of the common mrc_cache driver because
of the PSP/ABL requirements for APOB NV data. The APOB NV data
gets consumed by PSP/ABLs before x86 comes out of reset. Hence, we cannot
really add any metadata to this saved data or use multiple slots as
done by the default MRC cache driver
(CACHE_MRC_SETTINGS). Additionally, FSP-M requires access to this APOB
NV data which coreboot needs to pass in from different locations
depending upon boot mode:
1. Non-S3 boot: PSP/ABLs store APOB NV data in DRAM at predetermined
location which is present in BIOS directory table.
2. S3 boot: PSP/ABLs do not store APOB NV data in DRAM.

Thus, coreboot needs to set FSP-M UPD NvsBufferPtr as the DRAM
location in non-S3 boot and the address of RW_MRC_CACHE on SPI flash
in case of S3 resume.

This change enables MRC cache support in Picasso in order to meet the
above requirements.
1. NvsBufferPtr is set based on boot mode.
2. APOB NV data is not stashed to CBMEM. Instead it is written right
away to SPI flash in romstage.

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:

  • doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
  • 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:
