[WIP]cpu/x86/cache: CLFLUSH programs to memory before running
When cbmem is initialized in romstage and postcar placed in the stage cache + cbmem where it is run, the assumption is made that this are all in UC memory such that calling invd in postcar is ok.
For performance reasons (e.g. postcar decompression) it is desirable to cache cbmem and the stage cache during romstage. Another reason is that AGESA sets up MTRR during romstage to cache all dram, which is currently worked around by using additional MTRR to make that UC.
TODO be nice to reviewers and spit some parts off.

This is not sufficient. When CAR is active it's microarchitecturally defined how a clflush is handled in CAR mode. You need a way for the chipset to indicate this is valid sequence that can be performed.
This seems to work for Intel CPUs with a NEM and also older ones lacking it. Subrata tested a similar concept with WB caching cbmem on much more recent Intel CPU's (probably NEM enhanced). So at first sight it looks like this will be ok for most Intel? Probably worth checking for some AMD.

It wanted to use that as proxy that dram is ready and avoid it when things are loaded into CAR like FSP (if non-XIP). Is checking for [start, start + size] being inside the CAR region sufficient/better?

Those results are clearly empirical which suggests that the chipsets need to opt-in to affirm this will work.

If that's the case then please comment the purpose of what the check is for. It's clearly indirect w.r.t. to what you want accomplish from your explanation.

`!ENV_CACHE_AS_RAM` might be a good choice, it also covers the `RESET_VECTOR_IN_RAM` case.

Why not place the constant on the left-hand side of the operation?
I'm curious, does the compiler optimize it differently?
As the the operand has no side effects, it should be safe to treat it the same.

I'm not sure if the compiler can infer that cpuid_edx has no side-effect, so it may not be able to optimize out the code as-is.
In any case, I'd write this function as follows:
bool clflush_supported(void) { /* CLFLUSH while operating in CAR might not be supported by platforms */ if (ENV_CACHE_AS_RAM && !CONFIG(X86_CLFLUSH_CAR)) return false;
return !!(cpuid_edx(1) >> CPUID_FEATURE_CLFLUSH_BIT); }

When cbmem is initialized in romstage and postcar placed in the stage cache + cbmem where it is run, the assumption is made that these are all in UC memory such that calling INVD in postcar is OK.
For performance reasons (e.g. postcar decompression) it is desirable to cache cbmem and the stage cache during romstage.
Another reason is that AGESA sets up MTRR during romstage to cache all dram, which is currently worked around by using additional MTRR's to make that UC.

I'm not sure if the compiler can infer that cpuid_edx has no side-effect, so it may not be able to optimize out the code as-is.
In any case, I'd write this function as follows:
bool clflush_supported(void) { /* CLFLUSH while operating in CAR might not be supported by platforms */ if (ENV_CACHE_AS_RAM && !CONFIG(X86_CLFLUSH_CAR)) return false;
return !!(cpuid_edx(1) >> CPUID_FEATURE_CLFLUSH_BIT); }
I sort of rewrote it.

cpu/x86/cache: CLFLUSH programs to memory before running
When cbmem is initialized in romstage and postcar placed in the stage cache + cbmem where it is run, the assumption is made that these are all in UC memory such that calling INVD in postcar is OK.
For performance reasons (e.g. postcar decompression) it is desirable to cache cbmem and the stage cache during romstage.
Another reason is that AGESA sets up MTRR during romstage to cache all dram, which is currently worked around by using additional MTRR's to make that UC.
TESTED on asus/p5ql-em, up/squared on both regular and S3 resume bootpath. Sometimes there are minimal performance improvements when cbmem is cached (few ms).

I mean, if you have the timestamps before and after, could you please add them?
Timestamp differences are minimal. The smaller footprint due to compression is the major win here.

I think it's best to move it up. Nice catch
