LAR archive, the LAR utility will segfault. This is reproduced easily by
zerofilling the LAR, then adding anything to it.
Looking at the code, the reason is obvious:
lar_empty_offset() can return an error code (-1). None of the callers
check for an error code, they simply assume the return value is valid.

for this is that currently, if you select no compression, the bss
segment of filo takes up 153K with just zeroes. With this patch, it
always takes up a lar header + 1 byte. I left the one byte so that
the checksum wouldn't be broken.
This patch could have taken out the calloc in the compression area,
but since it only uses compile-time memory, I decided to keep this
simple.

Due to some problems with PCI transactions, Geode LX needs the ROM cache properties to be write-serialize + cache disabled by runtime. More details below.
Add mainboard_pre_payload() call to each mainboard as the final coreboot function before the payload is called by stage1.
Note that this patch also grows the bootblock from 16K to 20K to make room for mainboard_pre_payload().
"The problem is a transaction depth issue and bottlenecks inside the GX
and LX that go across PCI. The conditions are very complicated but it
comes down to we need write serialization for writes to PCI. If you
look in the data book you can't have write serialization and the cache
enabled on a given area. During coreboot we don't have to worry about
a write or a PCI bus master so I think we can enable caching the ROM.
After coreboot we can't be sure what will happen in the system so we
need to set it up to be safe. For example flashrom just clears the
write protect bit. If the cache were enabled (no write serialization)
and flashrom was writing the ROM we would be in a precarious position.
A PCI bus master doing a read or a write that has a hit on a tag
would cause enough bottleneck conditions that it might hit the bug. We
could change flashrom but that doesn't help other tools. We need to
leave the system in a safe state. Also, caching the ROM after it is no
longer used doesn't make much sense. So, we need a call just before
the payload runs to clean up the system."

dereference or worse) in case the archive length is exactly
sizeof(struct lar_header). Such an archive is invalid because the
filename directly after the LAR header is always dereferenced and has to
be at least 1 byte in the "empty filename" case (only terminating \0).
Improve LAR code documentation and reorder variables in one assignment
to make the code more obvious and readable. This will help people

The system will default to old behaviour. See Kconfig in the root.
I still wish to kill ELF mode very soon, however.
LAR is a very capable format. With two simple extensions, we can use
LAR to replace all that we are using ELF for now. This change can
really make life better:
1. we can use streaming decompress instead of the current "uncompress
elf to memory and then copy segments" approach. So we can get rid of
THIS hardcode:
#define UNCOMPRESS_AREA (0x400000)
2. A simple lar l can show ALL segments, including payload segments
3. It's really easy to see where things will go in memory, and catch problems
4. We can figure out an ELF input file is bogus BEFORE we flash, not
AFTER we flash and try to boot it
5. did I mention streaming decompress?
6. We no longer have to worry about where we decompress the elf in
memory (this problem was causing trouble when the payload was a linux
kernel -- it was so big)
7. Since we have a load address, we can create this lar entry:
normal/cmdline
and specify that it be loaded at a place where linux will find it as
the cmdline.
8. The decision on whether to XIP can be made in the LAR entry, not in
hardcode. For example, if initram needs to be XIP, set the load
address to 0xffffffff. Done.
The change is simple. Add a load address and entry point to the lar
header. Extend the lar tool to parse the elf file and create multiple
lar segments. It looks like this:
normal/payload0 (33192 bytes, lzma compressed to 18088 bytes @0x38
load @0x100000, entry 0x105258)
normal/payload1 (72 bytes, lzma compressed to 47 bytes @0x4718 load
@0x1225a0, entry 0x105258)
normal/option_table (932 bytes @0x4798 load @0, entry 0)
normal/stage2 (33308 bytes, lzma compressed to 15474 bytes @0x4b78
load @0, entry 0)
normal/initram (4208 bytes @0x8828 load @0, entry 0)
linuxbios.bootblock (16384 bytes @0xfc000 load @0, entry 0)
note that the payload is now payload/segment0, payload/segment1, etc. I've extended
linuxbios to look for these. Note that you can now see all the things
that get loaded ;they're no longer hidden in an ELF header somewhere.
Elf failures are gone!
Note that I've left legacy elf support in, for now, but recommend we
get rid of it as soon as possible.
patch attached. This is a first pass. lar.c needs some refactoring but
I want to get the cmdline going. You can now have a linux payload and
it will uncompress with no problems.
This has been tested with filo and BOCHS.
This patch includes ONLY the lar changes, the other changes are next.

creating and accessing the LAR into new code utilizing mmap which
facilitates moving about within the archive.
This code also turns the bootblock path name as a constant value.
It also requires that the user specify a size when the LAR is
created.
This patch was missing do_no_uncompress() which was fixed before
commit. This part should be reviewed.
