We've seen an increasing need to reduce stack sizes more and more for space reasons, and it's always guesswork because no one has a good idea how little is too litte. We now have boards with 3K and 2K stacks, and old pieces of common code often allocate large temporary buffers that would lead to very dangerous and hard to detect bugs when someone eventually tries to use them on one of those. This patch tries improve this situation at least a bit by declaring 2K as the minimum stack size all of coreboot code should work with. It checks all function frames with -Wstack-usage=1536 to make sure we don't allocate more than 1.5K in a single buffer. This is of course not a perfect test, but it should catch the most common situation of declaring a single, large buffer in some close-to-leaf function (with the assumption that 0.5K is hopefully enough for all the "normal" functions above that). Change one example where we were a bit overzealous and put a 1K buffer into BSS back to stack allocation, since it actually conforms to this new assumption and frees up another kilobyte of that highly sought-after verstage space. Not touching x86 with any of this since it's lack of __PRE_RAM__ BSS often requires it to allocate way more on the stack than would usually be considered sane. BRANCH=veyron BUG=None TEST=Compiled Cosmos, Daisy, Falco, Blaze, Pit, Storm, Urara and Pinky, made sure they still build as well as before and don't show any stack usage warnings.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------ If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
