the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 7a95abbb000a9088f65e19a78e2468dea8e5b740 Author: Vadim Bendebury vbendeb@chromium.org Date: Wed Sep 21 16:12:39 2011 -0700
Add timestamp collecting to coreboot.
This patch adds code to initialize the time stamp collection facility in coreboot. It adds a table in the CBMEM section, which provides the base timer reading value (all other readings are offsets of this one) and an array of timestamp id/timestamp value pairs.
Just two values are being added now, this will have to be used more extensively and also integrated into payloads to provide more comprehensive boot process time measurements.
Also, since the CBMEM area could already contain a section (from the previous run, before reset), when processing a section addition request we should check if a section already exists and return its address, if so.
