Julius Werner 75fdfeec7a arm: Fix checkstack() to use correct stack size
checkstack() runs at the end of ramstage to warn about stack overflows,
and it assumes that CONFIG_STACK_SIZE is always the size of the stack to
check. This is only true for systems that bring up multiprocessing in
ramstage and assign a separate stack for each core, like x86 and ARM64.
Other architectures like ARM and MIPS (for now) don't touch secondary
CPUs at all and currently don't look like they'll ever need to, so they
generally stay on the same (SRAM-based) stack they have been on since
their bootblock.

This patch tries to model that difference by making these architectures
explicitly set CONFIG_STACK_SIZE to zero, and using that as a cue to
assume the whole (_estack - _stack) area in checkstack() instead. Also
adds a BUG() to the stack overflow check, since that is currently just
as non-fatal as the BIOS_ERR message (despite the incorrect "SYSTEM
HALTED" output) but a little more easy to spot. Such a serious failure
should not drown out in all the normal random pieces of lower case boot
spam (also, I was intending to eventually have a look at assert() and
BUG() to hopefully make them a little more useful/noticeable if I ever
find the time for it).

BRANCH=None
BUG=None
TEST=Booted Pinky, noticed it no longer complains about stack overflows.
Built Falco, Ryu and Urara.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
