| - Stack checking extensions when built with STACK_CHECK=1 |
| - Reduced stack usage in some areas, -Wstack-usage=1024 now. |
| |
| - Some functions could use 2kb stack, now all are <1kb |
| - Unsafe libc functions such as sprintf() have been removed |
| - Symbolic backtraces |
| - expose skiboot symbol map to OS (via device-tree) |
