This patch implements support for vboot firmware selection. The vboot support is comprised of the following pieces: 1. vboot_loader.c - this file contains the entry point, vboot_verify_firmware(), for romstage to call in order to perform vboot selection. The loader sets up all the data for the wrapper to use. 2. vboot_wrapper.c - this file contains the implementation calling the vboot API. It calls VbInit() and VbSelectFirmware() with the data supplied by the loader. The vboot wrapper is compiled and linked as an rmodule and placed in cbfs as 'fallback/vboot'. It's loaded into memory and relocated just like the way ramstage would be. After being loaded the loader calls into wrapper. When the wrapper sees that a given piece of firmware has been selected it parses firmware component information for a predetermined number of components. Vboot result information is passed to downstream users by way of the vboot_handoff structure. This structure lives in cbmem and contains the shared data, selected firmware, VbInitParams, and parsed firwmare components. During ramstage there are only 2 changes: 1. Copy the shared vboot data from vboot_handoff to the chromeos acpi table. 2. If a firmware selection was made in romstage the boot loader component is used for the payload. Noteable Information: - no vboot path for S3. - assumes that all RW firmware contains a book keeping header for the components that comprise the signed firmware area. - As sanity check there is a limit to the number of firmware components contained in a signed firmware area. That's so that an errant value doesn't cause the size calculation to erroneously read memory it shouldn't. - RO normal path isn't supported. It's assumed that firmware will always load the verified RW on all boots but recovery. - If vboot requests memory to be cleared it is assumed that the boot loader will take care of that by looking at the out flags in VbInitParams. Built and booted. Noted firmware select worked on an image with RW firmware support. Also checked that recovery mode worked as well by choosing the RO path.

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