[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/3] x86: fsp: Load GDT before calling FspInitEntry

[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/3] x86: fsp: Load GDT before calling FspInitEntry

[Bin Meng]

Currently the FSP execution environment GDT is setup by U-Boot in
arch/x86/cpu/start16.S, which works pretty well. But if we try to
move the FspInitEntry call a little bit later to better fit into
U-Boot's initialization sequence, FSP will fail to bring up the AP
due to #GP fault as AP's GDT is duplicated from BSP whose GDT is
now moved into CAR, and unfortunately FSP calls AP initialization
after it disables the CAR. So basically the BSP's GDT still refers
to the one in the CAR, whose content is no longer available, so
when AP starts up and loads its segment register, it blows up.

To resolve this, we load GDT before calling into FspInitEntry.
The GDT is the same one used in arch/x86/cpu/start16.S, which is
in the ROM and exists forever.

Could we rename this to gdt_initial or something like that? To me, gdt
is a bit vague for an exported symbol. We need to use a name that
indicates it is only used at the start.

Perhaps this should be declared as char gdt[] so you don't need to
take its address later? See asm/linkage.h for how they do it.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 3/3] x86: fsp: Move FspInitEntry call to board_init_f()

[Bin Meng]

The call to FspInitEntry is done in arch/x86/lib/fsp/fsp_car.S so far.
It worked pretty well but looks not that good. Apart from doing too
much work than just enabling CAR, it cannot read the configuration
data from device tree at that time. Now we want to move it a little
bit later as part of init_sequence_f[] being called by board_init_f().
This way it looks and works better in the U-Boot initialization path.

Due to FSP's design, after calling FspInitEntry it will not return to
its caller, instead it jumps to a continuation function which is given
by bootloader with a new stack in system memory. The original stack in
the CAR is gone, but its content is perserved by FSP and described by
a bootloader temporary memory HOB. Technically we can recover anything
we had before in the previous stack, but that is way too complicated.
To make life much easier, in the FSP continuation routine we just
simply call fsp_init_done() and jump back to car_init_ret() to redo
the whole board_init_f() initialization, but this time with a non-zero
HOB list pointer saved in U-Boot's global data so that we can bypass
the FspInitEntry for the second time.

Would it be possible to put this into arch_cpu_init()? Or do you think
it is better to have a separate call?

I was thinking to do that in arch_cpu_init previously, but I changed
my idea mainly for:
- I need modify every cpu codes which uses FSP. So far there are two,
not a big deal :)
- Since x86_fsp_init() will jump back to call board_init_f() again, I
feel putting it as early as possible right after fdtdec_setup() could
save some boot time, like no need to execute trace_early_init() and
initf_malloc() which are meaningless, while still could gain access to
device tree.
