The CBMEM area is a downward-growing memory region used by coreboot to
dynamically allocate tagged data structures ("CBMEM entries") that
remain resident during boot.

This implements a driver which exports access to the CBMEM entries
via sysfs under /sys/bus/coreboot/devices/cbmem-&lt;id&gt;.

This implementation is quite versatile.  Examples of how it could be
used are given below:

* Tools like util/cbmem from the coreboot tree could use this driver
  instead of finding CBMEM in /dev/mem directly.  Alternatively,
  firmware developers debugging an issue may find the sysfs interface
  more ergonomic than the cbmem tool and choose to use it directly.

* The crossystem tool, which exposes verified boot variables, can use
  this driver to read the vboot work buffer.

* Tools which read the BIOS SPI flash (e.g., flashrom) can find the
  flash layout in CBMEM directly, which is significantly faster than
  searching the flash directly.

Write access is provided to all CBMEM regions via
/sys/bus/coreboot/devices/cbmem-&lt;id&gt;/mem, as the existing cbmem
tooling updates this memory region, and envisioned use cases with
crossystem can benefit from updating memory regions.

<title>firmware: coreboot: Register bus in module init</title>

<id>65946690ed8d972fdb91a74ee75ac0f0f0d68321</id>
<content type='text'>
The coreboot_table driver registers a coreboot bus while probing a
"coreboot_table" device representing the coreboot table memory region.
Probing this device (i.e., registering the bus) is a dependency for the
module_init() functions of any driver for this bus (e.g.,
memconsole-coreboot.c / memconsole_driver_init()).

With synchronous probe, this dependency works OK, as the link order in
the Makefile ensures coreboot_table_driver_init() (and thus,
coreboot_table_probe()) completes before a coreboot device driver tries
to add itself to the bus.

With asynchronous probe, however, coreboot_table_probe() may race with
memconsole_driver_init(), and so we're liable to hit one of these two:

1. coreboot_driver_register() eventually hits "[...] the bus was not
   initialized.", and the memconsole driver fails to register; or
2. coreboot_driver_register() gets past #1, but still races with
   bus_register() and hits some other undefined/crashing behavior (e.g.,
   in driver_find() [1])

We can resolve this by registering the bus in our initcall, and only
deferring "device" work (scanning the coreboot memory region and
creating sub-devices) to probe().

[1] Example failure, using 'driver_async_probe=*' kernel command line:

<title>firmware: google: Test spinlock on panic path to avoid lockups</title>

Currently the gsmi driver registers a panic notifier as well as
reboot and die notifiers. The callbacks registered are called in
atomic and very limited context - for instance, panic disables
preemption and local IRQs, also all secondary CPUs (not executing
the panic path) are shutdown.

With that said, taking a spinlock in this scenario is a dangerous
invitation for lockup scenarios. So, fix that by checking if the
spinlock is free to acquire in the panic notifier callback - if not,
bail-out and avoid a potential hang.

The help text for GOOGLE_FIRMWARE states that it should only be
enabled when building a kernel for Google's own servers.  However,
many of the drivers dependent on it are also useful on Chromebooks or
on any platform using coreboot.

Update the help text to reflect this double duty.

<title>bus: Make remove callback return void</title>

The driver core ignores the return value of this callback because there
is only little it can do when a device disappears.

This is the final bit of a long lasting cleanup quest where several
buses were converted to also return void from their remove callback.
Additionally some resource leaks were fixed that were caused by drivers
returning an error code in the expectation that the driver won't go
away.

With struct bus_type::remove returning void it's prevented that newly
implemented buses return an ignored error code and so don't anticipate
wrong expectations for driver authors.

<title>kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers</title>

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.

There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain

At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

<title>firmware: google: Enable s0ix logging by default</title>

<content type='text'>
Many moons ago, support was added to the SMI handlers to log s0ix entry
and exit. Early iterations of firmware on Apollo Lake correctly returned
"unsupported" for this new command they did not recognize, but
unfortunately also contained a quirk where this command would cause them
to power down rather than resume from s0ix.

Fixes for this quirk were pushed out long ago, so all APL devices still
in the field should have updated firmware. As such, we no longer need to
have the s0ix_logging_enable be opt-in, where every new platform has to
add this to their kernel commandline parameters. Change it to be on by
default.

In theory we could remove the parameter altogether: updated versions of
Chrome OS containing a kernel with this change would also be coupled
with firmware that behaves properly with these commands. Eventually we
should probably do that. For now, convert this to an opt-out parameter
so there's an emergency valve for people who are deliberately running
old firmware, or as an escape hatch in case of unforeseen regressions.
