[PATCH v5 22/23] gpu: nova-core: extract FWSEC from BIOS and patch it to run FWSEC-FRTS

Thu Jun 12 14:01:50 UTC 2025
The FWSEC firmware needs to be extracted from the VBIOS and patched with
the desired command, as well as the right signature. Do this so we are
ready to load and run this firmware into the GSP falcon and create the
FRTS region.
[joelagnelf at nvidia.com: give better names to FalconAppifHdrV1's fields]

+//! FWSEC is a High Secure firmware that is extracted from the BIOS and performs the first step of
+//! the GSP startup by creating the WPR2 memory region and copying critical areas of the VBIOS into
+//! it after authenticating them, ensuring they haven't been tampered with. It runs on the GSP
+//! falcon.
+//!
+//! Before being run, it needs to be patched in two areas:
+//!
+//! - The command to be run, as this firmware can perform several tasks ;
+//! - The ucode signature, so the GSP falcon can run FWSEC in HS mode.
