[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] trace: make call depth limit customizable

Heinrich Schuchardt xypron.glpk at gmx.de
Sun Jun 2 11:30:09 UTC 2019


Up to now we had hard coded values for the call depth up to which trace
records are created: 200 for early tracing, 15 thereafter. UEFI
applications reach a call depth of 80 or above.

Provide customizing settings for the call trace depth limit and the early
call trace depth limit. Use the old values as defaults.
