If the coreboot and filo overlap, it will "slice off" a piece at the beginning or end. In the beginning case, a new segment is inserted before the current one. The ptr will move forward and doesn't seem to have any chance to process the "new" segment.
You are aware that your patch only has an effect for non-compressed payloads?
Patrick and Zheng,
I'm struggling to understand the bug. If the payload is uncompressed, it can put a segment before coreboot in the bouncebuffer (this seems to be the bug?). Then the loop needs to be re-run on the newly split/added segment. If it is compressed, It will skip all of the coreboot area and not allocate a segment before coreboot (put the entire thing in the bounce buffer?).
Does this get back to the CONFIG_RAMBASE=0x00200000 on fam10?
