nb/amd/agesa: select ROMSTAGE_CACHED_CBMEM
AGESA sets up MTRR's to cache the whole dram, so decompressing postcar stage to cbmem should be fast and is now selected by default.

So far it's good on fam14. Postcar is decompressed during boot and does not cause issues.

Patch Set 7:
That AGESA (or any blob) manipulates MTRRs is discouraged and I understand such behaviour was removed for amd/stoneyridge.
Also, src/vendorcode/amd/agesa/f14/Legacy/Proc/hobTransfer.c shows there is some back-and-forth copying of AGESA heap. The code is form of CAR migration with intermediate buffer kept as uncacheable.

Right. I suppose the commit message is not entirely accurate then. What I meant was that the location where cbmem ends up will be set up as WB by AGESA and that this is recommended if one wants to decompress+clflush postcar (+ other things in cbmem) there.

1ms improvement is just noise here in my opinion, specially when adding new dependency on having AGESA do MTRR setups.

I think we already mostly keep AGESA's MTRR setup be we work around it by using more MTRR's: UC on regular boot to make sure cbmem hits memory before invd in postcar and WB on S3 resume to speed up things.
1ms on ~14ms is indeed just noise here. The advantages are: - No need to punch an UC hole with MTRR's for cbmem to make sure postcar hits memory before invd - postcar is compressed: 16380 vs 12461 (lz4 compressed) - (TODO)Some of the code can be simplified/removed if one can safely assume the presence of clflush.

For a better overview:
``` 3:after ram initialization 411,357 (281,617) 4:end of romstage 426,279 (14,921) 100:start of postcar 426,418 (138) ```
``` 3:after ram initialization 414,538 (284,955) 17:starting LZ4 decompress (ignore for x86) 421,713 (7,175) 18:finished LZ4 decompress (ignore for x86) 427,201 (5,487) 100:start of postcar 428,672 (1,471) ```
(By the way, *end of romstage* is missing.)
If I remember correctly, the 22 ms overall decrease is due to the difference in *cbmem post*, which accesses the flash ROM chip, and reads with the used chip has a lot of timing variations. (I think, Kyösti even verified it with the datasheet.)

Board boots fine until SeaBIOS, then I don't get any graphics in Linux. Here's my coreboot boot log captured with FT232H adapter - https://pastebin.com/g3LyVBZx . Maybe it's just an unfortunate parent of this change and the change itself is fine. Please rebase this change series on top of a stable commit like e6fb1344ed9188e19be4b54bdf1a76680b8c4523 or master (if it's okay currently), then I could retest this. Meanwhile, need to unbrick a laptop...

Patch Set 7:
While building for G505S (15h) I got:
CC romstage/southbridge/amd/agesa/hudson/smbus.o CC romstage/southbridge/amd/agesa/hudson/smbus_spd.o CC romstage/vendorcode/amd/agesa/common/agesa-entry.o LINK cbfs/fallback/romstage.debug OBJCOPY cbfs/fallback/romstage.elfmake: *** No rule to make target '".car.data"', needed by 'build/coreboot.pre'. Stop.
But that's maybe because I selected a "Compress postcar with LZ4 (COMPRESS_POSTCAR) [Y/n/?] (NEW) y". Now will try without it
Either downgrade to make or apply https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/38790
Board boots fine until SeaBIOS, then I don't get any graphics in Linux. Here's my coreboot boot log captured with FT232H adapter - https://pastebin.com/g3LyVBZx . Maybe it's just an unfortunate parent of this change and the change itself is fine. Please rebase this change series on top of a stable commit like e6fb1344ed9188e19be4b54bdf1a76680b8c4523 or master (if it's okay currently), then I could retest this. Meanwhile, need to unbrick a laptop...
On weekends I have some time for unbricking, so if you have new ideas about how to make this change bootable - please go ahead, and I'll test again happily.

So, I89fdc6066027447bf72968c66e6f5eb5fbb630c7 [1] works for you?
I’d say payload problems are unrelated to postcar changes.

This [1] doesn't work as well, I'll put -1 and share a boot log there. I don't think these are the payload problems: 1) The problems happen even if I choose the same SeaBIOS build 2) It could be that something related to graphic init (resources allocation, AtomBIOS OpROM loading, etc.) got corrupted - i.e. AtomBIOS got overwritten by something else, so the graphics in Linux got broken, or something else like a resource conflict. These problems aren't new - happened a couple times in a coreboot master and have been quickly resolved. It's unlikely these two changes got a problematic parent commit - but if Arthur thinks it could be really a case, hope he rebases these changes on top of a good parent - or fixes the code body of changes to make them work

To investigate a problem of this change (almost no graphics (super distorted) on GRUB screen and no graphics at all in Linux), you could compare a "fail" bootlog here https://pastebin.com/g3LyVBZx with a good log at CB:41924 https://pastebin.com/u0RXtQvQ . This problem may be just a side effect exposing the issue with this code or a parent's change code (not clear yet)

AGESA sets up MTRR's to cache the whole dram, so decompressing postcar stage to cbmem should be fast and is now selected by default. Postcar stage will now be compressed by default.
