x86: Add CBMEM console driver for coreboot
This patch builds upon the recently introduced CBMEM console feature of coreboot. CBMEM console uses a memry area allocated by coreboot to store the console output. The memory area has a certain structure, which allows to determine where the buffer is, the buffer size and the location of the pointer in the buffer. This allows different phases of the firmware (rom based coreboot, ram based coreboot, u-boot after relocation with this change) to keep adding text to the same buffer. Note that this patch introduces a new console driver and adds the driver to the list of drivers to be used for console output, i.e. it engages only after u-boot relocates. Usiong CBMEM console for capturing the pre-relocation console output will be done under a separate change. >From Linux, run the cbmem.py utility (which is a part of the coreboot package) to see the output, e.g.: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv SCSI: AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 6 ports ? Gbps 0xf impl SATA mode flags: 64bit ilck stag led pmp pio ... Magic signature found Kernel command line: "cros_secure quiet loglevel=1 console=tty2... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Note that the entire u-boot output fits into the buffer only if the coreboot log level is reduced from the most verbose. Ether the buffer size will have to be increased, or the coreboot verbosity permanently reduced. Signed-off-by: Vadim Bendebury <vbendeb@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
