Building with SDCC 4.6.0 emits tons of warnings e.g.:
cmd_parser.c:31: warning 356: object in read-only code space should be const
cmd_parser.c:36: warning 357: pointer to object in read-only code space should be pointer to const
These of course become fatal when building with --Werror.
Comparing resultant binaries, it seems that a single string is shifted
(deduplication?) but the numbers emitted at the end of the build are
otherwise identical.
The common segment is the scarce one: sixteen kilobytes shared by every bank,
and before this it had about 2.5 kB left. Most of what moves here runs once at
startup and does not have to sit in it. The two SerDes helpers are the
exception: the link-change handler and the SFP polling both reach sds_config()
while the switch is running, so they are not startup-only. None of it is
reached from an interrupt.
boot.c takes setup_i2c, init_smi, nic_setup, rtl8373_revision, rtl8224_enable,
early_boot_handle_button, set_hostname_default and the two SerDes helpers.
BANK3 is enabled with the linker flag; nothing else in the build needed
changing.
Everything moved is declared __banked, since every caller is outside BANK3:
main() and friends run from the common area and rtl837x_init.c calls
sds_config() and sds_config_mac() from BANK2. The calls the moved code makes
outward were already banked, so that side needed no work.
Common segment 13393 -> 10137 bytes, leaving 5787 free rather than 2531.
BANK3 holds 3732. All 34 machines in machine.h build and link. Walking
the generated assembly for plain lcalls that cross a bank boundary finds none
among 2808 calls; those build cleanly and only fail at run time, so it seemed
worth checking by machine rather than by eye.
