[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 1/4] ARM: fix CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE semantics

Albert ARIBAUD albert.u.boot at aribaud.net
Fri Apr 12 17:14:30 CEST 2013


Remove SPL-related ASSERT() in arch/arm/cpu/u-boot.lds
as this file is never used for SPL builds.

Rewrite the ASSERT() in arch/arm/cpu/u-boot-spl.lds
to separately test image (text,data,rodata...) size,
BSS size, and full footprint each against its own max,
and make Tegra boards check full footprint.

Also, output section mmutable is not used in SPL builds.
Remove it.

Finally, update README regarding the (now homogeneous)
semantics of CONFIG_SPL_[BSS_]MAX_SIZE and add the new
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT macro.
