2021-07-21bloblist: Tidy up a few API commentsSimon Glass
Some comments for struct bloblist_hdr are a bit ambiguous. Update them to clarify the meaning more precisely. Also document bloblist_get_stats() properly. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2021-07-21bloblist: Support resizing a blobSimon Glass
Sometimes a blob needs to expand, e.g. because it needs to hold more log data. Add support for this. Note that the bloblist must have sufficient spare space for this to work. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2021-01-27bloblist: Support relocating to a larger spaceSimon Glass
Typically in TPL/SPL the bloblist is quite small. But U-Boot proper may want to add a lot more to it, such as ACPI tables. Add a way to expand the bloblist by relocating it in U-Boot proper, along with the other relocation activities. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-11-06x86: Allow putting some tables in the bloblistSimon Glass
At present all tables are placed starting at address f0000 in memory, and can be up to 64KB in size. If the tables are very large, this may not provide enough space. Also if the tables point to other tables (such as console log or a ramoops area) then we must allocate other memory anyway. The bloblist is a nice place to put these tables since it is contiguous, which makes it easy to reserve this memory for linux using the 820 tables. Add an option to put some of the tables in the bloblist. For SMBIOS and ACPI, create suitable pointers from the f0000 region to the new location of the tables.

2020-10-06bloblist: Allow custom alignment for blobsSimon Glass
Some blobs need a larger alignment than the default. For example, ACPI tables often start at a 4KB boundary. Add support for this. Update the size of the test blob to allow these larger records. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-10-06bloblist: Add a commandSimon Glass
It is helpful to be able to see basic statistics about the bloblist and also to list its contents. Add a 'bloblist' command to handle this. Put the display functions in the bloblist modules rather than in the command code itself. That allows showing a list from SPL, where commands are not available. Also make bloblist_first/next_blob() static as they are not used outside this file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-09-25acpi: tpm: Add a TPM1 tableSimon Glass
This provides information about a v1 TPM in the system. Generate this table if the TPM is present. Add a required new bloblist type and correct the header order of one header file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-09-25acpi: tpm: Add a TPM2 tableSimon Glass
This provides information about a v2 TPM in the system. Generate this table if the TPM is present. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-09-25x86: apl: Support writing the IntelGraphicsMem tableSimon Glass
This table is needed by the Linux graphics driver to handle graphics correctly. Write it to ACPI. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-09-25x86: coral: Add ACPI tables for coralSimon Glass
This device has a large set of ACPI tables. Bring these in from coreboot so that full functionality is available (apart from SMI). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-02-05bloblist: Tidy up a few comments and code-style nitsSimon Glass
Add a messing error code to bloblist_new() and tidy up the line length in bloblist_addrec(). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-02-05bloblist: Add a new function to add or check sizeSimon Glass
A common check is to see if a blob is present, create it if not and make sure that the size is large enough. Add a function to handle this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2018-11-26Add core support for a bloblist to convey data from SPLSimon Glass
At present there is no standard way in U-Boot to pass information from SPL to U-Boot proper. But sometimes SPL wants to convey information to U-Boot that U-Boot cannot easily figure out. For example, if SPL sets up SDRAM then it might want to pass the size of SDRAM, or the location of each bank, to U-Boot proper. Add a new 'bloblist' feature which provides this. A bloblist is set up in the first phase of U-Boot that runs (i.e. TPL or SPL). The location of this info may be in SRAM or CAR (x86 cache-as-RAM) or somewhere else. Information placed in this region is preserved (with a checksum) through TPL and SPL and ends up in U-Boot. At this point it is copied into SDRAM so it can be used after relocation.
