the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 985ff36bee24d1e5a8bd698409a0a05e15528c01 Author: Julius Werner jwerner@chromium.org Date: Wed Sep 18 14:39:50 2013 -0700
armv7: Support stack dump after exceptions
This patch enhances the armv7 exception handlers in Coreboot and libpayload to show the correct SP and LR registers from the aborted context, and also dump a part of the current stack. Since we cannot access the banked registers of SVC mode from a different exception mode, it changes Coreboot (and its payloads) to run in System mode instead. As both modes can execute all privileged instructions, this should not have any noticeable effect on firmware operation (please correct me if I'm wrong!).
