As shipped, H2C only loads the option ROM for the built-in video, and that
only when it needs display the BIOS warning screens.
By setting a flag in the GBB, you can allow all option ROMs to be loaded:
Note that we'll never enable this ourselves (and there's a factory test to
ensure that*) because it executes non-verified code. But if a customer wants
to void their warranty and set this flag in the read-only flash so they can
install and use other PCI devices, they should be able to do so.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:6148
TEST=none
The only way to test this is to use a BIOS that was compiled with serial
debugging enabled, so there's nothing for QA to do. If you have such a BIOS,
you can see the difference like so:
flashrom -r oldbios.bin
gbb_utility -s --flags=2 oldbios.bin newbios.bin
flashrom -w newbios.bin
<reboot>
When bit 1 of the GBB flags is 0, you'll see these lines in the serial
output:
LoadOpRomImage-->GetSystemConfigurationTable Status = Success
LoadOpRomImage-->GetH2cBootMode Status = Success
When bit 1 of the GBB flags is 1, you'll see these lines in the serial
output:
LoadOpRomImage-->GetSystemConfigurationTable Status = Success
LoadOpRomImage-->GetH2cBootMode Status = Success
LoadOpRomImage-->PCI OpRom on 1.0.0 is allowed!!!
This happens in any boot mode (normal, developer, recovery).

This enables us to support playing sounds in the background if the BIOS
allows it, so we don't have to block while beeping is happening. The new
declaration is:
VbError_t VbExBeep(uint32_t msec, uint32_t frequency);
If the audio codec can run in the background, then:
zero frequency means OFF, non-zero frequency means ON
zero msec means return immediately, non-zero msec means delay (and
then OFF if needed)
else:
non-zero msec and non-zero frequency means ON, delay, OFF, return
zero msec or zero frequency means do nothing and return immediately
The return value is used by the caller to determine the capabilities. The
implementation should always do the best it can if it cannot fully support
all features - for example, beeping at a fixed frequency if frequency
support is not available. At a minimum, it must delay for the specified
non-zero duration.
Currently, VbExBeep() is called only when displaying the dev-mode screen.
BUG=none
TEST=manual
I've tested on x86 and ARM, all timeouts and noises work as before.
Note that ARM and coreboot will require a corresponding change to their
VbExBeep() implementations, which will have to be handled with separate,
simultaneous CLs.

The vboot library needs to decompress the images so that it can handle those
that are special cases (like rendering the HWID). This means that 1) it
needs access to the BIOS' native decompression routine, and 2) that
VbExDisplayImage() only needs to handle the uncompressed native-format image
and doesn't need to know about how the image is packed in the GBB.
BUG=chromium-os:19134

This requires a change to vboot_api.h, which requires a (simultaneous)
matching change to the BIOS, at least for U-Boot, which builds separately.
I've made that change and run the "vbexport_test display" command from the
modified U-Boot, but that also requires a change to the way U-Boot is built
so that I can get at the U-Boot commandline.

The old (v2.0) parser is compatible with new (v2.1) structs. That is,
this won't break existing firmware or vbutil_firmware.
A new (v2.1) parser parsing an old (v2.0) struct will return 0 for the
flags.
This will be used to support the RO-normal code path in a subsequent CL.

Pressing Tab at a firmware screen now displays real data, including
the recovery reason, HWID, and contents of VbNvStorage.
Entry point start/end time tracking in VbSharedData now refers to the
new wrapper APIs.
Added capability for calling firmware to request recovery mode (for
example, if it's unable to initialize RAM, can't find the SSD, etc.).
Previously, calling firmware had no (good) way to do this other than
faking the recovery button being pressed.
