Dear coreboot folks,
do you know if the timer mentioned in the BIOS and Kernel Developer’s Guide (BKGD) for the AMD Family 14h processors [1]
2.11.4 BIOS Timer
The root complex implements a 32-bit microsecond timer (see D0F0xE4_x0130_80F0 and D0F0xE4_x0130_80F1) that the BIOS can use to accurately time wait operations between initialization steps. To ensure that BIOS waits a minimum number of microseconds between steps BIOS should always wait for one microsecond more than the required minimum wait time.
could be used for implementing `tsc_freq_mhz()` as done for Intel Haswell processors?
The Wikipedia article for Time Stamp Counter (TSC) claims that since AMD family 10h processors a constant TSC is integrated [2]. Indeed, checking the processor flags under GNU/Linux, the flag `tsc_constant` is present.

Yes and no. We can do this for coreboot's own code for AMD platforms, but it obviously does not make much sense to hack this into AGESA if there are not already provisions for it.
Since AGESA is the only thing relevant going forward the question is what AGESA needs, timing-wise. Have you checked?

So there is the infrastructure already. The only problem is how to hook this up into coreboot. Create `src/cpu/amd/agesa/tsc_delay.c` and somehow call the AGESA `F14GetTscRate()` from it?

haswell: 24MHz monotonic time implementation
Haswell ULT devices have a 24MHz package-level counter. Use this counter to provide a timer_monotonic_get() implementation.
Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/3153
But the problem is, that the register is part of the PCI config space(?) and the Root Complex/PCI stuff is not yet available in ramstage?

There are also other timers in the processor cores.
2.4.5 Timers
Each core includes the following timers. These timers do not vary in frequency regardless of the current P-state or C-state. • MSR0000_0010 [Time Stamp Counter (TSC)]; the TSC increments at the rate specified by MSRC001_0015[TscFreqSel]. • The APIC timer (APIC380 and APIC390), which decrements at a rate of 2x CLKIN.
It looks like that is what AGESA uses and which might be there from the “beginning”.
Thanks,
Paul

The only problem is how to hook this up into coreboot. Create `src/cpu/amd/agesa/tsc_delay.c` and somehow call the AGESA `F14GetTscRate()` from it?
There are also other timers in the processor cores.
2.4.5 Timers Each core includes the following timers. These timers do not vary in frequency regardless of the current P-state or C-state. • MSR0000_0010 [Time Stamp Counter (TSC)]; the TSC increments at the rate specified by MSRC001_0015[TscFreqSel]. • The APIC timer (APIC380 and APIC390), which decrements at a rate of 2x CLKIN.It looks like that is what AGESA uses and which might be there from the “beginning”.
