The attached patch allows the use of gcc 4.5.0 for AMD builds. The AMD Tilapia BIOS built with gcc 4.5.0 and this patch has passed testing on the simnow target only. Can someone confirm that the attached patch allows an AMD family 10h BIOS such as Tilapia to work on real hardware? At the same time I will try to get the change tested on real hardware.
Root cause: After function STOP_CAR_AND_CPU disables cache as ram, the cache as ram stack can no longer be used. Called functions must be inlined to avoid stack usage. Also, the compiler must keep local variables register based and not allocated them from the stack. With gcc 4.5.0, some functions declared as inline are not being inlined. This patch forces these functions to always be inlined by adding the qualifier __attribute__((always_inline)) to their declaration.
Thanks, Scott
