[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: socfpga: Fix bootcounter located at the end of internal SRAM

Commit 768f23dc8ae3 ("ARM: socfpga: Put stack at the end of SRAM") broke those socfpga boards that keep the bootcounter at the end of the internal SRAM as the bootcounter needs 8 bytes by default and thus the very first SPL call to board_init_f_alloc_reserve overwrites the bootcounter.
This patch allows to move the initial stack pointer down a bit by checking if CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR is located in the internal SRAM area and then using this address as location for the start of the stack pointer.
No new macros / defines are added by this approach.

Ok, so no new macros are defined, but this is limited to the boot counter. However, I need to store additional data that survives a reboot somewhere, so I think an explicit range reservation would be nicer.
I could still do what I want with your patch by allocating my data above the bootcounter, but this works in a more or less implicit/hidden way, not explicitly configured...

Ah, I was not aware that you have a different reasoning to allocate some memory in the internal SRAM.
I could still do what I want with your patch by allocating my data above the bootcounter, but this works in a more or less implicit/ hidden way, not explicitly configured...
Some implicit (hidden) means is definitely not good. You can go ahead with your approach. But please don't introduce new defines for things that are already configured - meaning 0x8 bytes reserved and 0xfffffff8 as bootcounter location are redundant. This is a bit messy and might get out of hand, once those defines are not in sync any more.
And you probably need to add new defines to Kconfig as well (e.g. SOCFPGA_INIT_RAM_END_RESERVE).
Thanks, Stefan

Thanks for discussing this and finding a better solution. I'm looking forward to the new patch.

Well, you configure the bootcounter location in defconfig as an address, so you cannot really use this for a calculation other than your approach.
And you probably need to add new defines to Kconfig as well (e.g. SOCFPGA_INIT_RAM_END_RESERVE).
An even cleaner solution would be to be able to override CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE, but since this is a globally used define, I don't think I can provide a patch for this soon.
Maybe we'll start with your patch to fix the bootcounter in the mainline boards and I'll provide a patch for my additional requirements once I find the time.

Can we have this check on CONFIG_INIT_RAM_SIZE instead of the initial stack pointer?
That would ensure the SPL size checks stay intact.

Sorry for being unclear. What I meant was: currently CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZEis 0x10000 (the full 64 kByte). So if CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR is 0xfffffff8, I think we should define CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE to 0xfff8. That way, not only the CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR define is correct but CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is checked to not overlap this address, too.
Would that make sense to you?

Yes, I thought that you meant it this way. I'm not sure if we should go this way. As we would change CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE to something that does not represent the physical size of the on-chip SRAM. This could be very confusing and misleading, if this define is used elsewhere.

Hmm, okay. I dont want to push you there. I just thought it would be good to have the SPL binary size check correct...

Yes, I thought that you meant it this way. I'm not sure if we should go this way. As we would change CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE to something that does not represent the physical size of the on-chip SRAM. This could be very confusing and misleading, if this define is used elsewhere.
Hmm, okay. I dont want to push you there. I just thought it would be good to have the SPL binary size check correct...
Of course would this be good. But perhaps we can make this SPL binary size check "better" by not changing the INIT_RAM_SIZE define. Its definitely possible - I just don't know how hard (I didn't look into this).
Thanks, Stefan

INIT_RAM_SIZE should reflect reality IMO

Right. I'll check how the SPL size check works with different offsets then.

Since this is a bugfix, will it be merged for 2018.11?

I'll pick it if Stefan is fine with it (I guess he is) ?
