cpu/x86: Introduce and use `CPU_X86_LAPIC` With using a Kconfig option to add the x86 LAPIC support code to the build, there's no need for adding the corresponding directory to subdirs in the CPU/SoC Makefile. Comparing which CPU/SoC Makefiles added (cpu/)x86/mtrr and (cpu/)x86/lapic before this and the corresponding MTRR code selection patch and having verified that all platforms added the MTRR code on that patch shows that soc/example/min86 and soc/intel/quark are the only platforms that don't end up selecting the LAPIC code. So for now the default value of CPU_X86_LAPIC is chosen as y which gets overridden to n in the Kconfig of the two SoCs mentioned above.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.
For details please consult:
ANY_TOOLCHAIN
Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig
and make nconfig
)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
