[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] arm: socfpga: fix comment about SPL memory layout

The comment about SPL memory layout for socfpga gen5 is outdated: the initial malloc memory is now at the end of the SRAM, gd is below it (see board_init_f_alloc_reserve).

Instead of fixing the SPL stack to 64 KiB in the board config header via CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE, let's just use CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN in the defconfig.
This also has the advandage that it removes sub-mach specific ifdefs in socfpga_common.h.

Can't we default these stack sizes with imply in Kconfig files instead ? Then they won't have to be in the defconfigs either.

I guess you mean default the *malloc* sizes, not *stack* sizes? Yes, that should work.
I started this whole series because all gen5 defconfigs set the initial malloc size to 8 KiB, while I monitored socrates to only need a bit more than 1 KiB. With my reset patches, something around 1.5 KiB is still enough. So I'd move that to imply 2 KiB for gen5 and 64 KiB for a10 in a patch 4/4 for v2.

If SPL pre-reloc stage puts the stack into DDR, U-Boot should be able to do that, too.
The reason to do so is that this way, U-Boot initial stack can be larger than SPL initial stack. In situations where we want to save the SPL in SRAM for next boot without reloading, this prevents overwriting the SPL DTB in SRAM if U-Boot stack usage gets too high.

Here you mention SPL pre-reloc stage, while about mid-way through the patch you have a comment talking about SPL post-reloc stage, which one is it ? I think the commit message needs rewording, it's not clear what the patch does based on it.
On a separate note, this is likely a fix for current release, right ?
Finally , keep in mind the A10 needs to load the FPGA before DRAM becomes available, so the stack shenanigans there become even more nasty.

Ehrm right. The commit message is wrong. Post-reloc is correct.

Not really. For A10, this should not change anything, just ensure the common header file does not use 2 different ways to achieve the same thing. Note that A10 does *not* enable a different stack/malloc area for SPL post-reloc!
For gen5, yes there is a change, but only in U-Boot, not in SPL. But this is not a fix, it's an improvement to be able to make the SPL malloc pool smaller without U-Boot overwriting it. It's currently not overwritten as both malloc sizes are the same. I'd change that in a follow-up patch which reduces SPL malloc size for gen5.
Finally , keep in mind the A10 needs to load the FPGA before DRAM becomes available, so the stack shenanigans there become even more nasty.
Right, that's why even the initial malloc size for SPL is 64 KiB, right? As written above, this patch should not change anything for A10, so this should still work.
From reading the A10 SPL code, I didn't quite get how this works though, as
it seems the simple-malloc members in gd are only initialized after spl_early_init(), so after initializing DT/DM? Or is A10 not yet converted to DT?

No, that's because the A10 does a lot of allocations in SPL iirc.

It's semi-converted. The early part still needs some work.
