Using sysutils/u-boot-rpi4/ as an example . . .
# pwd
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-rpi4/work/u-boot-2019.10
A grep showed the EFI_RESERVED_MEMORY_TYPE reserving the
first page in RAM:
./board/raspberrypi/rpi/rpi.c: efi_add_memory_map(0, 1, =
EFI_RESERVED_MEMORY_TYPE, 0);
More completely:
int ft_board_setup(void *blob, bd_t *bd)
{
/*
* For now, we simply always add the simplefb DT node. Later, we
* should be more intelligent, and e.g. only do this if no =
enabled DT
* node exists for the "real" graphics driver.
*/
lcd_dt_simplefb_add_node(blob);
=20
#ifdef CONFIG_EFI_LOADER
/* Reserve the spin table */
efi_add_memory_map(0, 1, EFI_RESERVED_MEMORY_TYPE, 0);
#endif
return 0;
}
As stands it appears that the above is where more than one
page would fit the existing structure: more than the
spin table needs to be preserved.
I doubt reserving two pages (or even a few) would be
a problem (compared to under sizing the space for some
contexts, such a FreeBSD).
I do not know if the arguements might provide a way for
armstub8*.bin to indicate what to reserve instead of
hard coded constants.
