Upcoming release - coreboot 25.03
|
||||
========================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
The 25.03 release is scheduled for the end of March, 2025
|
||||
The coreboot project is pleased to announce the release of coreboot
|
||||
25.03, marking another milestone in our ongoing work to delivering
|
||||
open-source firmware. This release brings important improvements to
|
||||
display handling, USB debugging capabilities, and CPU topology
|
||||
management, along with various other enhancements that further improve
|
||||
the reliability and performance of coreboot across supported platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Update this document with changes that should be in the release notes.
|
||||
|
||||
* Please use Markdown.
|
||||
* See the past few release notes for the general format.
|
||||
* The chip and board additions and removals will be updated right
|
||||
before the release, so those do not need to be added.
|
||||
* Note that all changes before the release are done are marked upcoming.
|
||||
A final version of the notes are done after the release.
|
||||
We extend our sincere thanks to all contributors who have made this
|
||||
release possible. Your expertise and collaborative efforts continue to
|
||||
propel the coreboot project forward. As always, we value the
|
||||
participation of everyone in the community, from long-time developers to
|
||||
those new to the project. The next coreboot release, 25.06, is scheduled
|
||||
for the end of June 2025.

### drivers/intel/fsp2_0: Enable panel-orientation aware bitmap rotation
|
||||
|
||||
* This section should have full descriptions and can or should have
|
||||
a link to the referenced commits.
|
||||
Implement logo bitmap rotation within fsp_convert_bmp_to_gop_blt() to
|
||||
support devices with portrait-oriented displays. The rotation is driven
|
||||
by the panel framebuffer orientation, allowing the logo to be displayed
|
||||
correctly regardless of physical panel orientation.
|
||||
|
||||
This resolves issues where the logo was displayed incorrectly on
|
||||
portrait-oriented displays.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, discard the display orientation change if the LID is
|
||||
closed aka built-in display is not active. This will ensure that display
|
||||
orientation is proper when extended display is attached w/o any display
|
||||
rotation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### util/find_usbdebug: Fix lsusb -t parsing for usbutils v016 and newer
|
||||
|
||||
Commit e24294ff9ade ("lsusb -t: print ports and buses and devices with
|
||||
same width") [1] in the usbutils repository changed the format of the
|
||||
lsusb -t output, breaking the find_usbdebug.sh script. This commit is
|
||||
present in usbutils version 016 and later.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the output of lsusb -V to set the parsing patterns based on the
|
||||
version in order to maintain compatibility with older versions of
|
||||
usbutils. A simple integer comparison of the version number is used for
|
||||
this, which will not work with versions older than v001 as those use a
|
||||
0.nn version number format. However, since v001 was released in late
|
||||
2010, it is probably safe to assume that no one will be using a version
|
||||
of usbutils older than that. Usbutils v016 was released in late 2023 so
|
||||
there could still conceivably be systems using older versions, such as
|
||||
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which is on v014.

||||

### cpu/x86/topology: Fix FSP-S crash caused by shared core ID
|
||||
|
||||
This resolves a crash issue observed on Meteor Lake and introduced by
|
||||
commit 70bdd2e1fad9fe89835aab240ed4b41a02f15078 ("cpu/x86/topology:
|
||||
Simplify CPU topology initialization"). This commit simplifies the code
|
||||
and provides more detailed CPU topology information by generalizing the
|
||||
use of the Extended Topology Enumeration Leaves 0x1f. As a result, the
|
||||
coreboot APIC core_id field does not provide the fully detailed path
|
||||
information.
|
||||
|
||||
It turns out that the topology core identifier is used by the coreboot
|
||||
MP service mp_get_processor_info() implementation. But the MP Service
|
||||
EFI_CPU_PHYSICAL_LOCATION data structure only captures information about
|
||||
the package, core, and thread. The core identifier returned to the MP
|
||||
service caller must incorporate the full hierarchical path (die group,
|
||||
die, module, tile, module and core).
|
||||
|
||||
This commit adds a new field to the cpu topology structure to represent
|
||||
the core ID within the package.
|
||||
|
||||
For reference, here is that signature of the crash:
|
||||
|
||||
LAPIC 0x40 in X2APIC mode.
|
||||
CPU Index 2 - APIC 64 Unexpected Exception:13 @ 10:69f3d1e4 - Halting

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The crash occurred when FSP attempted to lock the Protected
|
||||
Processor Inventory Number Enable Control MSR (IA32_PPIN_CTL
|
||||
0x4e).

|
||||
|
||||
FSP experiences issues due to attempting to lock the same register
|
||||
multiple times for a single core. This is caused by an inconsistency in
|
||||
the processor information data structure, where multiple cores share the
|
||||
same identifier. This is not permitted and triggers a General Protection
|
||||
Fault Exception.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### {drivers, lib}: Move low-battery user notification logic outside FSP
|
||||
|
||||
This patch refactors low-battery user notification logic (Kconfig, APIs
|
||||
to check if low-battery rendering is required, low-battery shutdown is
|
||||
required) outside FSP driver code to ensure in future non-FSP platforms
|
||||
might still be able to leverage this feature/logics to render the
|
||||
low-battery indicator icon during boot.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifically, it:
|
||||
|
||||
- Moves Kconfig options related to low-battery notifications from
|
||||
drivers/intel/fsp to lib/
|
||||
- Relocates the low-battery check and shutdown APIs drivers/intel/fsp
|
||||
to bootsplash.h
|
||||
* Adjusts the vendor driver to utilize the new APIs for low-battery
|
||||
rendering decisions.
|
||||
* Drop the unwanted header file "fsp/api.h" from bmp_logo.c
|
||||
|
||||
This change avoids tight coupling of low-battery functionality to FSP,
|
||||
promoting code reusability across platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### soc/intel/cannonlake: Use common ACPI code for SRAM and HECI
|
||||
|
||||
Use the newly-created ACPI devices in common/acpi, and adjust the SoC
|
||||
ACPI name for the CSE/HECI device to match.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### lib: Introduce early power off support Kconfig option
|
||||
|
||||
This commit introduces the `HAVE_EARLY_POWEROFF_SUPPORT` Kconfig option
|
||||
and the `platform_do_early_poweroff()` API.
|
||||
|
||||
The Kconfig option enables platform-specific early power off support,
|
||||
which is often required on Intel platforms. The corresponding API allows
|
||||
platforms to implement the necessary hardware operations for early power
|
||||
off, typically before memory initialization.
