Arne: Could you help me understand MMCONF_SUPPORT and MMCONF_SUPPORT_DEFAULT? It looks like the area gets reserved for MMCONF_SUPPORT, even if MMCONF_SUPPORT_DEFAULT isn't selected.
My understanding of the code as it was before I started messing with it, is that MMCONF_SUPPORT is intended to indicate whether the facility is available at all, and MMCONF_SUPPORT_DEFAULT toggles the actual use of it (by Coreboot). Both src/northbridge/amd/amdfam10/northbridge.c and src/northbridge/intel/i945/northbridge.c contains code like this:
#if CONFIG_MMCONF_SUPPORT_DEFAULT .ops_pci_bus = &pci_ops_mmconf, #else .ops_pci_bus = &pci_cf8_conf1, #endif
which, alongside romcc_io.h's
#if CONFIG_MMCONF_SUPPORT_DEFAULT return pci_mmio_read_config32(dev, where); #else return pci_io_read_config32(dev, where); #endif
is more or less the only use for MMCONF_SUPPORT_DEFAULT as far as I can see. I'll leave it to others to determine if this actually makes sense.
(Having SUPPORT without SUPPORT_DEFAULT gives you an MCFG area that you can communicate to the OS (at least potentially), as well as the option of explicitly doing individual config accesses via mmio instead of ports. I don't think anyone is doing either of these today.)
Thanks for the explanation. It looks like the trouble with reserving a region for MMCONF is related to broken UMA code.
Thanks, Myles
