[PATCH v2 1/6] memory: add support for requesting barebox area as a whole

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



barebox-specific code and data is normally located at the end of
early-known memory. To ensure it's not overwritten, parts of it are
reserved with request_sdram_region at different places.

Gaps in the reservation lead to multiple issues in the past.
So for documentation purposes and to avoid functiosn like
memory_bank_first_find_space finding vacant area where there isn't,
allow architectures call register_barebox_area to do one full
SDRAM request for the area.

Region requests for subsets of this area will be switched in the
follow-up commit to use the new request_barebox_region, which allocates
a subregion if it lies inside a registered barebox area and defers
to request_sdram_region otherwise.

The motivation for this patch is that with the addition of handoff data,
doing separate memory reservation for every accounting structure (cookie
and linked list) in addition to the data could make iomem output a bit
unwieldy, but we really want to avoid anyone else overwriting it.

While at it, we also rename the regions for barebox code and bss to be
more descriptive.
