example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
the following checkpoints are implemented:
-- Detailed boot stage timing
- CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
- Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
- of the boot process.
-
- CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
- This is the number of available user bootstage records.
- Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
- a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
- the limit, recording will stop.
-
- CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
- Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
-
- Timer summary in microseconds:
- Mark Elapsed Stage
- 0 0 reset
- 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
- 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
- 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
- 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
- 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
- 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
- 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
-
- CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
- Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
- and un/stashing of bootstage data.
-
- CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
- Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
- node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
- has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
- mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
- accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
- For example:
-
- bootstage {
- 154 {
- name = "board_init_f";
- mark = <3575678>;
- };
- 170 {
- name = "lcd";
- accum = <33482>;
- };
- };
-
- Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

+config BOOTSTAGE
+ bool "Boot timing and reporting"
+ help
+ Enable recording of boot time while booting. To use it, insert
+ calls to bootstage_mark() with a suitable BOOTSTAGE_ID from
+ bootstage.h. Only a single entry is recorded for each ID. You can
+ give the entry a name with bootstage_mark_name(). You can also
+ record elapsed time in a particular stage using bootstage_start()
+ before starting and bootstage_accum() when finished. Bootstage will
+ add up all the accumated time and report it.
+
+ Normally, IDs are defined in bootstage.h but a small number of
+ additional 'user' IDs can be used but passing BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC
+ as the ID.
+
+ Calls to show_boot_progress() wil also result in log entries but
+ these will not have names.
+
+config BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
+ bool "Display a detailed boot timing report before booting the OS"
+ depends on BOOTSTAGE
+ help
+ Enable output of a boot time report just before the OS is booted.
+ This shows how long it took U-Boot to go through each stage of the
+ boot process. The report looks something like this:

+ help
+ This is the number of available user bootstage records.
+ Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)

+ bool "Store boot timing information in the OS device tree"
+ depends on BOOTSTAGE
+ help
+ Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'

+
+config BOOTSTAGE_STASH
+ bool "Stash the boot timing information in memory before booting OS"
+ depends on BOOTSTAGE
+ help
+ Some OSes do not support device tree. Bootstage can instead write
+ the boot timing information in a binary format at a given address.
+ This happens through a call to bootstage_stash(), typically in
+ the CPU's cleanup_before_linux() function. You can use the
+ 'bootstage stash' and 'bootstage unstash' commands to do this on
+ the command line.
+
+config BOOTSTAGE_STASH_ADDR
+ hex "Address to stash boot timing information"
+ default 0
+ help
+ Provide an address which will not be overwritten by the OS when it
+ starts, so that it can read this information when ready.
+
+config BOOTSTAGE_STASH_SIZE
+ hex "Size of boot timing stash region"
+ default 4096
+ help
+ This should be large enough to hold the bootstage stash. A value of
+ 4096 (4KiB) is normally plenty.
