soc/intel/common/block/acpi: Fill PEP S0 mask on failure

There is a bug floating around where communciation with the PMC fails
after transitions through S3/S4/S5. This CL does not address that issue.
However in working with error cases presented by a failing PMC, we're
forced into an early return in read_pmc_lpm_requirements(), which sets
up _DSM buffers in the SSDT for the PEP device.

The function itself returns void, so the error is swallowed regardless.
However returning early is not the appropriate action because it causes
the size of the buffer written into the _DSM method to change. This causes
the SSDT to change size and layout across an S3 or S4 transition, which
results in mayhem in the kernel, as the kernel is not expecting these
tables to change out from under it.

Instead of returning early, it's better to simply print the error and
keep going, attaching a zeroed out buffer for the substate requirements.
This results in an empty requirements mask for all states. From what I
can see in the kernel this is no more broken than today's behavior, as
this buffer seems to only be used for printing a debugfs file.

In fact in this particular case the kernel doesn't even notice, as this
buffer is copied out at boot, and not refreshed at resume.

coreboot README

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.

Payloads

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.

Supported Hardware

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

Build Requirements

  • make
  • gcc / g++ Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse - by generating broken object code. Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).
  • iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
  • pkg-config
  • libssl-dev (openssl)

Optional:

  • doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
  • gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
  • ncurses (for make menuconfig and make nconfig)
  • flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)

Building coreboot

Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.

Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware

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.
