To enable DM on MPC85xx, we need pre-relocation malloc, which is

Why do you need this? Does the code get too long and enters
exception handler space?


Those are the reason I sent the patch as RFC: There seems to be some kind of
alignment issue with the exception vectors. If the nops are not there, the
board crashes as soon as the timer_interrupt is raised for the first
time.  The
commit 96d2bb952bbf2e5a14f6ad668312cbce3cc4485a (powerpc/mpc85xx: Don't
relocate exception vectors), among other things, removed the explicit
alignment
of the vectors for E500. If you add those back in (and remove the nops), the
code works too. So maybe some kind of alignment for the vectors is
needed after
all?

There is requirement for alignment. For e500 core, the interrupt vector offset registers (IVORs) have lowest 4 bit cleared. So the vectors must be aligned to
16 bytes. For legacy cores, the exception vectors are fixed. You have to make
sure the vectors are exactly where they should be.

I think you can use .align 4. Try it.


Tried it and works perfectly, thanks. Will include this in v2, too.

This patch presumes stack is right under GD, which is OK. But
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN has not been used by powerpc. Presumption of
(CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN + GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE) <
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE
may not be true. Would it be better to check at compiling time to
make sure we
have enough init ram for the malloc len?


Yes, good idea; I'll add an appropriate check in v2 of the patch. Maybe
something like

#if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN + GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE + 0x80 >
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE
#error "CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN too large to fit into initial RAM."
#endif

to ensure we leave at least a minimum of ~128 byte stack space, too?


I don't think so. We know the size of GD, and we know the size of MALLOC_LEN.
But we don't know the depth of stack until we compile it. I would put GD on top,
followed by MALLOC, and leave the rest to stack. I know the DDR driver we use
needs way more than 128 bytes for stack.


OK, something like

#if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN + GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE > CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE
#error "CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN too large to fit into initial RAM."
#endif

then? The stack might end up awfully small, but if there are drivers that need
a lot of stack, we can't do a much better test anyway.

Also, from what I see, the GD is on top for all MPC85xx boards (except for
T4240QDS, apparently?), because they define either

#define CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE)

or

#define CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END - GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE)

and then

#define CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET       CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET

So the memory layout is as you said: GD on top, followed by MALLOC, and the
rest for the stack.

Best regards,

Mario
