Hi guys This series of patches adds support for 64 bits payloads. With them, it is possible to use a 64 bit payload. It works with old elf boot process and new CBFS selfboot. With CBFS, when parsing the ELF, the elfclass will be stored in a new field of the cbfs_payload structure. This field is used later to decide or not if we need to switch to 64 bits mode before jumping into the payload.
64 bits mode needs paging and paging needs some memory to store the page tables. It's hardcoded and needs to be improved. It's far from perfect and I don't think it can be included as it in the main coreboot trunk. But it may give some ideas. It is required so : Signed-off-by: Thomas Jourdan <[email protected]> But all the assembly code to switch to 64 bits mode is taken from the EDK2 project (https://edk2.tianocore.org). So credits are for them. Regards, Thomas
