* x86: Add SMBIOS table supportBin Meng2015-10-21-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) is a specification for how motherboard and system vendors present management information about their products in a standard format by extending the BIOS interface on Intel architecture systems. As of today the latest spec is 3.0 and can be downloaded from DMTF website. This commit adds a simple and minimum required implementation.

* x86: Generate a valid ACPI tableSaket Sinha2015-08-26-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement write_acpi_table() to create a minimal working ACPI table. This includes writing FACS, XSDT, RSDP, FADT, MCFG, MADT, DSDT & SSDT ACPI table entries. Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_ACPI_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we need actually write the APCI table just like we did for PIRQ routing, MP table and SFI tables. With ACPI table existence, linux kernel gets control of power management, thermal management, configuration management and monitoring in hardware.

* x86: Generate a valid MultiProcessor (MP) tableBin Meng2015-07-14-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement write_mp_table() to create a minimal working MP table. This includes an MP floating table, a configuration table header and all of the 5 base configuration table entries. The I/O interrupt assignment table entry is created based on the same information used in the creation of PIRQ routing table from device tree. A check duplicated entry logic is applied to prevent writing multiple I/O interrupt entries with the same information. Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_MP_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we need actually write the MP table at the F seg, just like we did for PIRQ routing and SFI tables. With MP table existence, linux kernel will switch to I/O APIC and local APIC to process all the peripheral interrupts instead of 8259 PICs. This takes full advantage of the multicore hardware and the SMP kernel. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* x86: Add MultiProcessor (MP) table APIsBin Meng2015-07-14-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | The MP table provides a way for the operating system to support for symmetric multiprocessing as well as symmetric I/O interrupt handling with the local APIC and I/O APIC. We provide a bunch of APIs for U-Boot to write the floating table, configuration table header as well as base and extended table entries.

* x86: Add support for the Simple Firmware Interface (SFI)Simon Glass2015-04-29-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | This provides a way of passing information to Linux without requiring the full ACPI horror. Provide a rudimentary implementation sufficient to be recognised and parsed by Linux. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>

* x86: Write configuration tables in last_stage_init()Bin Meng2015-04-29-0/+30
We can write the configuration table in last_stage_init() for all x86 boards, but not with coreboot since coreboot already has them. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
