To enable DM on MPC85xx, we need pre-relocation malloc, which is
implemented in this patch.

Why do you need this? Does the code get too long and enters exception handler space?


Those are the reason I sent the patch as RFC: There seems to be some kind of
alignment issue with the exception vectors. If the nops are not there, the
board crashes as soon as the timer_interrupt is raised for the first time. The
commit 96d2bb952bbf2e5a14f6ad668312cbce3cc4485a (powerpc/mpc85xx: Don't
relocate exception vectors), among other things, removed the explicit alignment
of the vectors for E500. If you add those back in (and remove the nops), the
code works too. So maybe some kind of alignment for the vectors is needed after
all?

This patch presumes stack is right under GD, which is OK. But
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN has not been used by powerpc. Presumption of
(CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN + GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE) < CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE may not be true. Would it be better to check at compiling time to make sure we
have enough init ram for the malloc len?


Yes, good idea; I'll add an appropriate check in v2 of the patch. Maybe
something like

#if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN + GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE + 0x80 > CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE
#error "CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN too large to fit into initial RAM."
#endif

to ensure we leave at least a minimum of ~128 byte stack space, too?
