Hi, all! We have common request_sdram_region("stack", ...) in mem_malloc_resource() (common/memory.c). But we also have ARM-special request_sdram_region("stack", ...) inside arm_request_stack() initcall. In normal situation there is no problem at all. Here is the 'iomem' log for versatile qemu virtual board: 0x00000000 - 0x03ffffff (size 0x04000000) ram0 0x00c00000 - 0x00ffffff (size 0x00400000) malloc space 0x01000000 - 0x0102d5f3 (size 0x0002d5f4) barebox 0x0102d5f4 - 0x0102f307 (size 0x00001d14) barebox data 0x0102f308 - 0x010346db (size 0x000053d4) bss 0x03ff8000 - 0x03ffffff (size 0x00008000) stack But if the board use MEMORY_LAYOUT_FIXED then we can have a problem. I enabled CONFIGURABLE_MEMORY_LAYOUT for versatile. Here is a patch: diff --git a/arch/arm/Kconfig b/arch/arm/Kconfig index bd10591..2969b19 100644 --- a/arch/arm/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm/Kconfig @@ -134,6 +134,7 @@ config ARCH_VERSATILE bool "ARM Versatile boards (ARM926EJ-S)" select CPU_ARM926T select GPIOLIB + select HAVE_CONFIGURABLE_MEMORY_LAYOUT config ARCH_VEXPRESS bool "ARM Vexpres boards" I have rebuilt barebox with this memory layout: CONFIG_HAVE_CONFIGURABLE_MEMORY_LAYOUT=y # CONFIG_MEMORY_LAYOUT_DEFAULT is not set CONFIG_MEMORY_LAYOUT_FIXED=y CONFIG_STACK_BASE=0x20000 CONFIG_STACK_SIZE=0x8000 CONFIG_MALLOC_BASE=0x00c00000 CONFIG_MALLOC_SIZE=0x400000 Here is the 'iomem' log for MEMORY_LAYOUT_FIXED: 0x00000000 - 0x03ffffff (size 0x04000000) ram0 0x00020000 - 0x00027fff (size 0x00008000) stack 0x00c00000 - 0x00ffffff (size 0x00400000) malloc space 0x01000000 - 0x0102d61b (size 0x0002d61c) barebox 0x0102d61c - 0x0102f327 (size 0x00001d0c) barebox data 0x0102f328 - 0x010346fb (size 0x000053d4) bss 0x03ff8000 - 0x03ffffff (size 0x00008000) stack The result is confusing! We got two stack regions: * the first region registered by common code (CONFIG_STACK_BASE=0x20000); * the second region registered by ARM-specific code. -- Best regards, Antony Pavlov _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
