History

Furquan Shaikh 20f25dd5c8 Rename coreboot_ram stage to ramstage Rename coreboot_ram stage to ramstage. This is done in order to provide consistency with other stage names (bootblock, romstage) and to allow any Makefile rule generalization, required for patches to be submitted later.

Function tracing
----------------

Enable CONFIG_TRACE in debug menu. Run the compiled image on target. You will get
a log with a lot of lines like:

...
~0x001072e8(0x00100099)
~0x00108bc0(0x0010730a)
...

First address is address of function which was just entered, the second address
is address of functions which call that.

You can use the log2dress to dress the log again:

...
src/arch/x86/lib/c_start.S:85 calls /home/ruik/coreboot/src/boot/selfboot.c:367
/home/ruik/coreboot/src/boot/selfboot.c:370 calls /home/ruik/coreboot/src/device/device.c:325
...

Alternatively, you can use genprof to generate a gmon.out file, which can be used
by gprof to show the call traces. You will need to install uthash library to compile
that.

Great use is:

make
./genprof /tmp/yourlog ;  gprof ../../build/ramstage |  ./gprof2dot.py -e0 -n0 | dot -Tpng -o output.png

Which generates a PNG with a call graph.
