With the stack and text base used by U-Boot SPL and proper on RK3399
there is a high likelihood of overlapping when U-Boot proper + FDT nears
1 MiB in size.
Currently the following memory layout is used:
- 0x00000000 (@0 MiB): U-Boot SPL text base
- 0x00040000 (@256 KiB): TF-A
- 0x00200000 (@2 MiB): U-Boot proper text base
- 0x00300000 (@3 MiB): U-Boot proper init stack
- 0x00400000 (@4 MiB): U-Boot SPL init stack
- 0x00400000 (@4 MiB): U-Boot SPL bss
- 0x02000000 (@64 MiB): U-Boot SPL reloc stack
- 0x08400000 (@132 MiB): optional OPTEE
SPL load TF-A, U-Boot proper and optional OPTEE after SPL stack has
relocated, meaning that there is room for close to 2 MiB (@2-4 MiB).
However, the initial stack used by U-Boot proper is limiting the size
of U-Boot proper + FDT to below 1 MiB (@2-3 MiB).
Instead change to use the following memory layout:
- 0x00000000 (@0 MiB): U-Boot SPL text base
- 0x00040000 (@256 KiB): TF-A
- 0x00200000 (@2 MiB): U-Boot proper text base
- 0x00400000 (@4 MiB): U-Boot SPL init stack
- 0x00800000 (@8 MiB): U-Boot proper init stack (changed)
- 0x02000000 (@32 MiB): U-Boot SPL bss (changed)
- 0x04000000 (@64 MiB): U-Boot SPL reloc stack
- 0x08400000 (@132 MiB): optional OPTEE
This should leave room for loading and running a U-Boot proper close
to 6 MiB (@2-8 MiB) in size. When U-Boot proper has relocated is should
be possible to use @2-132 MiB and @164 MiB+ for scripts, kernel etc.
With the moved SPL reloc stack it is also possible to use a much larger
malloc area in SPL, e.g. using default SPL_STACK_R_MALLOC_SIMPLE_LEN.

Do we not need to update memory addresses in the environment as well?
scriptaddr=0x00500000
This is at 5MiB if I'm not mistaken?
Basically everything in include/configs/rk3399_common.h in
ENV_MEM_LAYOUT_SETTINGS needs to be updated to be located after 164MiB?
Did I misunderstand something? I find it weird the current values seems
to be located after U-Boot SPL bss and that e.g.
kernel_addr_r=0x02080000
is at 32.5MiB, and with U-Boot SPL reloc stack currently at 64MiB... a
31.5+MiB kernel Image would mess up the data there? (what do we need it
for BTW once in U-boot proper after relocation?).
Side question, what about making those values the default for RK3399
instead of having it in each defconfig? This could grow quickly out of
hands to move this to the Kconfig symbol itself, so not sure it's that
interesting to the project, but raising this anyway.
Cheers,
Quentin
