* nvram: Fix 'missing' nvram on FSP systems.Cyril Bur2017-11-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit ba4d46fdd9eb ("console: Set log level from nvram") wants to read from NVRAM rather early. This works fine on BMC based systems as nvram_init() is actually synchronous. This is not true for FSP systems and it turns out that the query for the console log level simply queries blank nvram. The simple fix is to wait for the NVRAM read to complete before performing any query. Unfortunately it turns out that the fsp-nvram code does not inform the generic NVRAM layer when the read is complete, rather, it must be prompted to do so. This patch addresses both these problems. This patch adds a check before the first read of the NVRAM (for the console log level) that the read has completed. The fsp-nvram code has been updated to inform the generic layer as soon as the read completes. The old prompt to the fsp-nvram code has been removed but a check to ensure that the NVRAM has been loaded remains. It is conservative but if the NVRAM is not done loading before the host is booted it will not have an nvram device-tree node which means it won't be able to access the NVRAM at all, ever, even after the NVRAM has loaded.

* nvram: add nvram_query_eq()Oliver O'Halloran2016-10-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | Adds a helper that looks for the given NVRAM config string and checks that associated value is equal to the supplied value. Signed-off-by: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Stewart Smith <stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* nvram: force re-verification after writingOliver O'Halloran2016-10-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The running OS is free to re-write the contents of NVRAM. The skiboot NVRAM parser relies on the NVRAM contents being valid so we need to force the NVRAM contents to be revalidated after the host OS has written to it.

* core/nvram: add support for skiboot config stringsOliver O'Halloran2016-08-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This allows the ibm,skiboot partition to be used to store NUL terminated key=value OF configuration strings. These strings can be written using the nvram utility found in the linux powerpc-utils package. Currently the only use case for this is passing command line arguments to the boot kernel so only ASCII strings are supported. The 0xFF binary escaping mechanism for configuration strings is not supported. Signed-off-by: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Stewart Smith <stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* core/init: recheck nvram on fast rebootOliver O'Halloran2016-08-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | If the previously running OS modifies the NVRAM it may be left in an invalid state. To prevent errors we need to re-validate the nvram format in the fast-reboot path. Signed-off-by: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Stewart Smith <stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* nvram: rename nvram-format.h to nvram.hOliver O'Halloran2016-08-301-0/+23
The NVRAM handling code was split into two files so that the partition parsing could be separately tested. Currently there is no nvram.h and the tests #include nvram-format.c directly. This patch renames nvram-format.h to something more sensible. Signed-off-by: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Stewart Smith <stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
