commit 0409e88dded8e9815a9c9e7ffa00dadc67928c63 Author: Stefan Reinauer reinauer@chromium.org Date: Fri Apr 19 14:22:29 2013 -0700
cbmem utility: compatibility with older coreboot versions
Commit b8ad224 changed the memory address in lb_cbmem_ref coreboot table entries from a pointer to a uint64_t. This change was introduced to make the cbmem utility work on both 32bit and 64bit userland. Unfortunately, this broke the cbmem utility running on older versions of coreboot because they were still providing a 32bit only field for the address while the cbmem utility would now take the following 4 bytes as upper 32bits of a pointer that can obviously not be mmapped. This change checks if the size of the lb_cbmem_ref structure provided by coreboot is smaller than expected, and if so, ignore the upper 32bit of the address read. Also make the memory mapping more robust by using O_SYNC and O_DIRECT when opening /dev/mem and fix a potential type conflict in a debug message.
