Some systems (like Google Link device) provide the ability to keep a
history of the target CPU port80 accesses, which is extremely handy
for debugging. The problem is that the EC handling port 80 access is
orders of magnitude slower than the AP. This causes random loss of
trace data.
This change allows to throttle port 80 accesses such that in case the
AP is trying to post faster than the EC can handle, a delay is
introduced to make sure that the post rate is throttled. Experiments
have shown that on Link the delay should be at least 350,000 of tsc
clocks.
Throttling is not being enabled by default: to enable it one would
have to set MIN_PORT80_KCLOCKS_DELAY to something like 400 and rebuild
the u-boot image. With upcoming EC code optimizations this number
could be decreased (new new value should be established
experimentally).

Some u-boot modules rely on availability of get_ticks() and
get_tbclk() functions, reporting a free running clock and its
frequency respectively. Traditionally these functions return number
and frequency of timer interrupts.
Intel's core architecture processors however are known to run the
rdtsc instruction at a constant rate of the so called 'Max Non Turbo
ratio' times the external clock frequency which is 100MHz. This is
just as good for the timer tick functions in question.

This changes the layout in decreasing addresses from:

This allows the stack to grow significantly more since it isn't constrained by

that the stack is the lowest addressed area used by the main part of u-boot.
In the original layout, that means that u-boot tramples all over itself. In

Implement arch_phys_memset so that it can set memory at physical addresses
above 4GB using PAE paging. Because there are only 5 page tables in PAE mode,
1 PDPT and 4 PDTs, those tables are statically allocated in the BSS. The
tables must be 4K page aligned and are declared that way, and because U-Boot
starts as 4K aligned and the relocation code relocates it to a 4K aligned
address, the tables work as intended.
While paging is turned on, all 4GB are identity mapped except for one 2MB
page which is used as the window into high memory. This way, U-Boot will
continue to work as expected when running code that expects to access memory
freely, but the code can still get at high memory through its window.
The window is put at 2MB so that it's 2MB page aligned, low in memory to be
out of the way of things U-Boot is likely to care about, and above the lowest
1MB where lots of random things live.

A hook is installed to configure PCI bus bridges as they encountered by u-boot.
The hook extracts the secondary bus number from the bridge's config space and
then recursively scans that bus.
On Coreboot, the PCI bus address space has identity mapping with the
physical address space, so declare it as such to ensure that the "pci_map_bar"
function used by some PCI drivers is behaving properly. This fixes the
EHCI PCI driver initialization on Stumpy.
This was tested as follows:
Ran the PCI command on Alex, saw devices on bus 0, the OXPCIe 952 on
bus 1, and empty busses 2 through 5. This matches the bridges
reported on bus 0 and the PCI configuration output from coreboot.

U-boot needs a host controller or "hose" to interact with the PCI busses
behind them. This change installs a host controller during initialization of
the coreboot "board" which implements some of X86's basic PCI semantics. This
relies on some existing generic code, but also duplicates a little bit of code
from the sc520 implementation. Ideally we'd eliminate that duplication at some
point.
It looks like in order to scan buses beyond bus 0, we'll need to tell u-boot's
generic PCI configuration code what to do if it encounters a bridge,
specifically to scan the bus on the other side of it.

- Added commit message
This patch moves towards reducing board.c to simply a set of init cores for
the three initialisation phases (Flash, Flash/RAM, and RAM), a set of three
init function arrays and a init function array processing function
Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

If vboot successfully verifies a kernel, it will leave it in place and
basically ready to boot. The zeropage table which is part of the x86 boot

because the image is already in place there's no need to copy it around.
This change refactors the code which implements the zboot command so that
the configuration of the zeropage table and loading the pieces of the
kernel into memory are done separately. Also, because the command line goes
before the zeropage table in vboot which is somewhat incompatible with the
normal protocol, where to put the command line is a now a parameter instead
of being hard coded.

When gcc compiles some 64 bit operations on a 32 bit machine, it generates
calls to small functions instead of instructions which do the job directly.
Those functions are defined in libgcc and transparently provide whatever
functionality was necessary. Unfortunately, u-boot can be built with a
non-standard ABI when libgcc isn't. More specifically, u-boot uses
-mregparm. When the u-boot and libgcc are linked together, very confusing
bugs can crop up, for instance seemingly normal integer division or modulus
getting the wrong answer or even raising a spurious divide by zero
exception.
This change borrows (steals) a technique and some code from coreboot which
solves this problem by creating wrappers which translate the calling
convention when calling the functions in libgcc. Unfortunately that means
that these instructions which had already been turned into functions have
even more overhead, but more importantly it makes them work properly.
To find all of the functions that needed wrapping, u-boot was compiled
without linking in libgcc. All the symbols the linker complained were
undefined were presumed to be the symbols that are needed from libgcc.
These were a subset of the symbols covered by the coreboot code, so it was
used unmodified.
To prevent symbols which are provided by libgcc but not currently wrapped
(or even known about) from being silently linked against by code generated
by libgcc, a new copy of libgcc is created where all the symbols are
prefixed with __normal_. Without being purposefully wrapped, these symbols
will cause linker errors instead of silently introducing very subtle,
confusing bugs.
Another approach would be to whitelist symbols from libgcc and strip out
all the others. The problem with this approach is that it requires the
white listed symbols to be specified three times, once for objcopy, once so
the linker inserts the wrapped, and once to generate the wrapper itself,
while this implementation needs it to be listed only twice. There isn't
much tangible difference in what each approach produces, so this one was
preferred.

There are two blobs embedded into the u-boot image which are linked to run
at an address which is different from where they actually end up in the
ROM, one called "realmode" and one called "bios". There are realmode_setup
and bios_setup functions which prepare those blobs by copying them into the
location they're supposed to run from, among other things.
During u-boot relocation from ROM to RAM, the text and a few data segments
are copied over. The realmode and bios sections are not copied, and so the
only place they can be read from is their original location in the ROM.
Looking specifically at the bios blob, there are symbols defined in the
linker script called __bios_start and __bios_size which are defined to be
the start and size of the blob in the ROM.
In the bios_setup function, there seem to be two mistakes happening. First,
the offset from ROM to RAM is being added to __bios_start which implies that
this code expects to use the copy moved to RAM. No such copy is made, so
that's wrong. More subtly, when u-boot relocates itself, it goes through
all of the relocations stored in .rel.dyn and fixes them up. This has the
effect of transforming the __bios_start reference in bios_setup so that it
refers to the version in RAM (if one existed) instead of the one in ROM. To
correct for that, the offset actually needs to be subtracted out again to
translate the address back into the ROM.
The net effect is that for both blobs, a + needs to be changed to a -.
