commit cefdb7ff9ca88116340f0d11609d241d80f5440c Author: Julius Werner jwerner@chromium.org Date: Mon Dec 1 13:11:52 2014 -0800
vboot2: Reduce minimum required work buffer size
Apparently our initial submission of 16K was a little too generous for the vboot2 work buffer, and I hear that we should also be well within bounds for 12K. This patch reduces the minimum asserted by memlayout so some of our low-mem boards can get a few more kilobytes back for discretionary spending. Also changes the required minimum alignment to 8 since that's what the current vboot code aligns it to anyway, and add a warning comment to make it clearer that this is a dangerous number people should not be playing with lightly.
BRANCH=None BUG=None TEST=Built and booted on Pinky.
