On x86, cpu_info lives at the top of stack. Make the arm do that as well, as the threading model needs that and so will multicore support. As part of this change, make the stack size a power of 2. Also make it much smaller -- 2048 bytes is PLENTY for ram stage. Note that the small stack size is counterintuitive for rom stage. How can this work in rom stage, which needs a HUGE stack for lzma? The main use of STACK_SIZE has always been in ram stage; since 2002 or so it was to size per-core stacks (see, e.g., src/arch/x86/lib/c_start.S:.space CONFIG_MAX_CPUS*CONFIG_STACK_SIZE and, more recently, thread stacks. So, we define the STACK_TOP for rom and ram stage, but the STACK_SIZE has no real effect on the ROM stage (no hardware red zones on the stack) and hence we're ok with actually defining the "wrong" stack size. In fact, the coreboot_ram ldscript for armv7 sizes the stack by subtracting CONFIG_STACK_BOTTOM from CONFIG_STACK_TOP, so we replicate that arithmetic in bootblock.inc Observed stack usage in ramstage: BS: BS_PAYLOAD_LOAD times (us): entry 1 run 153887 exit 1 Jumping to boot code at 23104044 CPU0: stack: 02072800 - 02073000, lowest used address 020728d4, stack used: 1836 bytes entry = 23104044 Which means we do need 2K, not 1K.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
