OK, so you let gd->con_buf_idx increment always and modulo to get the array index - fine if CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ is ^2 - see below >> >> Yes I agree, although if you have more than 1KB of data it might be a >> >> bug. >> >> I personally don't see the need - I expect the amount of pre-console output >> would be faily limited considering that the board should do everything it >> can to initialise console as early as possible. > > until people hit an early fail and add a lot of debug printf's and then the > output gets silently clipped. it's confusing imo, and i say this having > implemented early debug output in other systems (including linux) and seeing > how people used/reacted to it.

Until someone doesn't read the documentation and figures they can only squeeze 200 bytes out of their L1 cache after making room for gd and stack and then tries to print 201 bytes of debug info and trashes either the stack or gd and then things start to get a lot weirder than simply having their early debug messgaes clipped... To be safe, CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ would need to be checked for ^2 size and now we only get 128 bytes rather than 200 :( - Better to add another long in gd and get 196 Regards, Graeme

One could argue that not clipping at all is the _right_ default ;) But I can easily add to print_pre_console_buffer()... if (gd->conf_buf_idx >= CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ) puts("Pre-console buffer clipped") >> >> > give people a foot and they'll take 1MiB :p >> >> > >> >> > it's fairly easy as well: >> >> > #define CIRC_BUF_IDX(idx) ((idx) & (CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ-1)) >> >> > buffer[CIRC_BUF_IDX(gd->conf_buf_idx++)] = c; >> >> >> >> But does that work for non power-of-two buffer sizes... >> > >> > no, but not that big of a deal. so you get limited to the last 1KiB, >> > 4KiB, 8KiB, 16KiB, etc... amount of data. >> >> Until someone doesn't read the documentation and figures they can only >> squeeze 200 bytes out of their L1 cache after making room for gd and stack >> and then tries to print 201 bytes of debug info and trashes either the >> stack or gd and then things start to get a lot weirder than simply having >> their early debug messgaes clipped... > > this is really a non-issue as it's trivial to catch at CPP time: > #if (CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ & (CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ - 1)) > # error "CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ must be a power-of-two" > #endif Nice - hadn't thought of that >> To be safe, CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ would need to be checked for ^2 size >> and now we only get 128 bytes rather than 200 :( - Better to add another >> long in gd and get 196 > > my systems dont have nearly the size restrictions yours do, so if you think > that's better, that's fine by me. i dont care so much about the internal > implementation details of the circular buffer ... i only care that it is a > circular buffer and not one that stops too soon. Well actually, I have a 12-year old CPU with 16kB of cache - More than enough for initial stack, gd and pre-console buffer. It was actually Wolgang who raised the size issue, but that was probably more aimed at those that do not have the space for the buffer at all I'll do another rev of the two-patch series implementing the 'power of two' trap and circular buffer. P.S. Can we move this discussion over to that thread now: [PATCH 0/2] console: Squelch and pre-console buffer http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-August/099607.html Regards, Graeme

If you want to support arbitrary buffer sizes, then just use #define CIRC_BUF_IDX(idx) ((idx) % CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ) Best regards, Wolfgang Denk

Well, the difference of "i & (CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ-1)" versus "i % CONFIG_SYS_TMP_CON_BUF_SZ" is 1 versus 4 assembler instructions on Power, and 2 versus 5 assembler instructions on ARM. I think we can tolerate this. Best regards, Wolfgang Denk

This patch is for Graeme to take a look at. I found that have_console is not a flag yet. Also a few tidy-ups to handle buffer overflow and to avoid printing a 'dumping buffer' message when nothing was outputted. Also I tried to simplify the maths for the location of the pre-console buffer. IMO this should be done in board.c though.
