Hi,
We are now allocating partition's stack inside linker script file, and there are two external patches trying to move these stack definitions into partition's BSS/ZI: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/5374/5 https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/6508/1
The advantages: - Simplify the linker script/sct templating, stack items can be saved. - Stack as global just uses 8 bytes alignment instead of wider bytes alignment (such as 32 bytes in most of the cases). - Stack is private data, putting private data together is a direct way.
And the disadvantages: - Stack memory and global memory may affect each other - actually we don't apply such protecting mechanism now?
Anything I missed? Any feedbacks are welcome. We would collect your feedbacks and update the patches if they are still available after your comments. Other proposals are welcome, too.
Thanks.
