Segmentation error while compile Coreboot binary on branch 4.8.1
by Balázs Vinarz 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi! Have you experienced anything like this while compiling from the branch 4.8.1? I have a fresh and a ~ 1 year old crossgcc pack, but both are end up after a make menuconfig ; make -j8 with the same way. In the latest crossgcc build, I had to apply an include string fix to binutils and a -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition to the acpica's LDFLAGS. #### $ CC=/usr/bin/gcc make -d -j8 GNU Make 4.3 Built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Copyright (C) 1988-2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Max RAM problem
by Ale 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hello everyone, I have a kgpe d16 motherboard with coreboot and seabios, and 2 opteron 6282 SE processor with 64 gb of RAM: all the modules are 16 Gb hynix HMT42GR7AFR4C - RD and all are inserted into the orange slots. The problem is, if I add 2 additional modules, inside the last 2 orange slots, the machine doesn't starts and only black screen is shown, no log is detected over COM port. Any suggestion? Maybe another RAM module configuration is needed, because I read that 192 Gb of RAM is possible to obtain (I have followed the official Asus manual for the RAM-Slots configuration) Thank you very much Best regards Ale

Asan/Ubsan for further testing
by Shawn C 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi, coreboot have two types of sanitizers already: Ubsan and Asan. This is good starting point. I found a few catches by simply enabling CONFIG_COVERAGE, CONFIG_UBSAN and CONFIG_ASAN: https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/288 The developer seems haven't enable them in the testing process yet. It would be better if we add those debug features by default during the development which could possibly kill more bugs in the coreboot and the sanitizers themselves. Any ideas? regards Shawn C

Reserve Device DRAM
by Bryan Angelo 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

I would appreciate any guidance on the proper way to reserve (arbitrary) DRAM for a MMIO device in coreboot such that the Linux driver for that device is also able to map the reserved DRAM. Based on code inspection, my attempt is to add a cbmem entry via cbmem_alloc and mark that memory as reserved via reserved_ram_resource in the read_resources operation for the device driver. static void foo_read_resources(struct device *dev) { void *buf; const unsigned long size = 0x8000; if (cbmem_entry_find(CBMEM_ID_FOO)) return; buf = cbmem_add(CBMEM_ID_FOO, size); if (!buf) return; reserved_ram_resource(dev, 0, ((unsigned long)buf) >> 10, size >> 10); } I can see that the resource is allocated during resource reading. MMIO: fd110500 resource base *8de82000* size 8000 align 0 gran 0 limit 0 flags f0004200 index 0 I then pass this resource to the linux driver via an ACPI device entry. acpigen_write_name("_CRS"); acpigen_write_resourcetemplate_header(); const struct cbmem_entry *ce = cbmem_entry_find(CBMEM_ID_FOO); if (ce) acpigen_write_mem32fixed(1, (uint32_t)cbmem_entry_start(ce), (uint32_t)cbmem_entry_size(ce)); However, the memory is presented to Linux as "type 16" instead of "reserved" in the physical RAM map. [ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map: [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000fff] type 16 [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009ffff] usable [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000000a0000-0x00000000000fffff] reserved [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x000000008de34fff] usable *[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000008de35000-0x000000008fffffff] type 16* [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000090000000-0x00000000cfffffff] reserved [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000f8000000-0x00000000fbffffff] reserved [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000022f33ffff] usable [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000022f340000-0x000000022fffffff] reserved The e820 type 16 is unknown to the linux kernel, causing it to mark the region as busy. This subsequently causes devm_ioremap_resource to fail when called on the DRAM address from the ACPI device entry. Looking through the code, it seems that coreboot marks the entire cbmem as type 16 in bootmem despite my (improper, it would seem) attempt to mark the ram as reserved. What would be the proper way to reserve (arbitrary) DRAM for a MMIO device such that the memory is marked as reserved in the BIOS physical RAM map? Thanks.

Add Nuvoton NCT6797D to coreboot/util/superiotool/nuvoton.c
by Clay Daniels 02 Jan '21

02 Jan '21

I would like to add my Nuvoton NCT6797D superio chip to the coreboot utility superiotool. With the help of several nice folks on the freenode #coreboot irc channel, I have modified my local superiotool and it works well. I have never made a commit to Gerrit, but I have established Gerrit & Github accounts. I see the page to start a change request at: https://review.coreboot.org/dashboard/self However, I am not so sure of myself yet, so I'm writing to get advice. Feel free to respond , even if all you have to say is that it's not my place to propose a patch.
