[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] spl: add overall SPL size check

This adds a size check for SPL that can dynamically check generated SPL binaries (including devicetree) for a size limit that ensures this image plus global data, heap and stack fit in initial SRAM.
Since some of these sizes are not available to make, a new host tool 'spl_size_limit' is added that dumps the resulting maximum size for an SPL binary to stdout. This tool is used in toplevel Makefile to implement the size check on SPL binaries.

Ah, now I get it, and why you said you depend on Heinrich's series now, OK. This isn't quite what I envisioned, but, maybe that's OK. I was thinking we could drop the whole of the shell function, stat() the file and return 0/error. But I guess on the whole we've got the shell function portable and not too fragile looking, so maybe it's not worth the extra work there.
I do have one problem I'd like to discuss, which is that to replicate this for a TPL size limit (which we totally have and need to deal with), we cp and sed spl_size_limit.c to tpl_size_limit.c.
I don't however see a clever way to avoid that. CONFIG_IS_ENABLED() would let us have the same #if test, but doing size_limit -= CONFIG_SPL_FOO CONFIG_TPL_FOO; is probably getting too clever.
Thanks!

I also thought in your direction first. But then I figured with the current way of doing the size check, showing the current vs. maximum would be easier. If the Makefile didn't know the size, the new tool would have to print it to show the difference...

Hmm, let me think about that.

OK, so as I see it, this is not a race but a dependency problem: the "tools-only" target just does not generate the "generic-asm-offsets.h" file.
However, just adding a dependency to include/generated/generic-asm-offsets.h leads to an error (no rule to build that file) since that file is generated by Kbuild magic that I don't really get...
Any idea how to make this depend on /Kbuild being run?

No, I have no idea.
'tools' depends on 'prepare', which depends on 'prepare0'.
So, the dependency should be correct, but I do not see CHK include/generated/generic-asm-offsets.h in the log at all.
I do not know why.

Thanks for the hint! The target in question was 'tools-only', not 'tools'. And in contrast to 'tools', 'tools-only' is missing the dependency to 'prepare'. We could just add that unless we go JJ's python way.
