the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 27baa32fbefa19afe2bc96b60f534ca20cb49065 Author: Timothy Pearson tpearson@raptorengineeringinc.com Date: Wed Aug 12 11:19:10 2015 -0500
cpu/amd/model_10xxx: Do not initialize SMM memory if SMM is disabled
In the wake of the recent Intel "Memoy Sinkhole" exploit a code review of the AMD SMM code was undertaken. While native Family 10h support does not appear to be affected by the same SMM flaw, it also does not require SMM to function. Therefore, the SMM memory range initialization should only be executed if SMM will be used on the target platform.
