From: Simon Glass Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 15:03:00 +0000 (-0700) Subject: arm: spl: Allow board_init_r() to run with a larger stack X-Git-Tag: v2015.04-rc4~121 X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db910353a126d84fe8dff7a694ea792f50fcfb6a;p=oweals%2Fu-boot.git arm: spl: Allow board_init_r() to run with a larger stack At present SPL uses a single stack, either CONFIG_SPL_STACK or CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR. Since some SPL features (such as MMC and environment) require a lot of stack, some boards set CONFIG_SPL_STACK to point into SDRAM. They then set up SDRAM very early, before board_init_f(), so that the larger stack can be used. This is an abuse of lowlevel_init(). That function should only be used for essential start-up code which cannot be delayed. An example of a valid use is when only part of the SPL code is visible/executable, and the SoC must be set up so that board_init_f() can be reached. It should not be used for SDRAM init, console init, etc. Add a CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R option, which allows the stack to be moved to a new address before board_init_r() is called in SPL. The expected SPL flow (for CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK) is documented in the README.
