From b84d7d8f1e1066f810866304a16a3583f88e7c98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafal Jaworowski Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 13:27:15 +0100 Subject: API: Use stack pointer as API signature search hint in the glue layer. De-hardcode range in RAM we search for the API signature. Instead use the stack pointer as a hint to narrow down the range in which the signature could reside (it is malloc'ed on the U-Boot heap, and is hoped to remain in some proximity from stack area). Adjust PowerPC code in API demo to the new scheme.
