+Estimating stack usage

isn't this usable for any target and not just omap3 ?

To a degree, yes. If you try this on full u-boot instead it highlights some of the funny build things we do (there's still a handful of always-compiled-often-empty files like tqm8xx_pcmcia.c) and the lack of dealing with #ifdef's makes life real hard.

+With gcc 4.6 (and later) and the use of GNU cflow it is possible to
estimate stack usage at various points in run sequence of SPL.  The
-fstack-usage option to gcc will produce '.su' files (such as
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/syslib.su) that will give stack usage information and
cflow can construct program flow. +
+Must have gcc 4.6 or later, which supports -fstack-usage

tools/checkpatch.pl is also pretty useful and doesn't require any compile
version

checkstack.pl I assume you mean (which I posted the other week). I believe it only reports 'large' usages whereas -fstack-usage reports all.

I'm not opposed to that also being merged of course, but it's just not the same :)

+$ for F in `cd spl; find  -name *.su`; do \
+       echo $F | sed -e 's/.su$/.c/'; done>  used-spl.list

find spl -name '*.su' | sed -e 's:^spl/::' -e 's:[.]su$:.c:'>  used-spl.list
-mike

Thanks.
