2017-09-10ARM: XIP kernel: store .data compressed in ROMNicolas Pitre1-0/+62
The .data segment stored in ROM is only copied to RAM once at boot time and never referenced afterwards. This is arguably a suboptimal usage of ROM resources. This patch allows for compressing the .data segment before storing it into ROM and decompressing it to RAM rather than simply copying it, saving on precious ROM space. Because global data is not available yet (obviously) we must allocate decompressor workspace memory on the stack. The .bss area is used as a stack area for that purpose before it is cleared. The required stack frame is 9568 bytes for __inflate_kernel_data() alone, so make sure the .bss is large enough to cope with that plus extra room for called functions or fail the build. Those numbers were picked arbitrarily based on the above 9568 byte stack frame: 10240 (2.5 * PAGE_SIZE): used to override -Wframe-larger-than whose default value is 1024. 12288 (3 * PAGE_SIZE): minimum .bss size to contain the stack.
