Subject: [PATCH] ieee1275: drop HEAP_MAX_ADDR, HEAP_MIN_SIZE
f20682
f20682
HEAP_MAX_ADDR is confusing. Currently it is set to 32MB, except
f20682
on ieee1275 on x86, where it is 64MB.
f20682
f20682
There is a comment which purports to explain it:
f20682
f20682
/* If possible, we will avoid claiming heap above this address, because it
f20682
   seems to cause relocation problems with OSes that link at 4 MiB */
f20682
f20682
This doesn't make a lot of sense when the constants are well above 4MB
f20682
already. It was not always this way. Prior to
f20682
commit 7b5d0fe4440c ("Increase heap limit") in 2010, HEAP_MAX_SIZE and
f20682
HEAP_MAX_ADDR were indeed 4MB. However, when the constants were increased
f20682
the comment was left unchanged.
f20682
f20682
It's been over a decade. It doesn't seem like we have problems with
f20682
claims over 4MB on powerpc or x86 ieee1275. (sparc does things completely
f20682
differently and never used the constant.)
f20682
f20682
Drop the constant and the check.
f20682
f20682
The only use of HEAP_MIN_SIZE was to potentially override the
f20682
HEAP_MAX_ADDR check. It is now unused. Remove it.
