[PATCH v2] semihosting/arm-compat: remove heuristic softmmu SYS_HEAPINFO


From: Alex Bennée
Subject: [PATCH v2] semihosting/arm-compat: remove heuristic softmmu SYS_HEAPINFO
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2021 11:26:17 +0100

The previous numbers were a guess at best. While we could extract the
information from a loaded ELF file via -kernel we could still get
tripped up by self decompressing or relocating code. Besides sane
library code like newlib will fall back to known symbols to determine
of the location of the heap. We can still report the limits though as
we are reasonably confident that busting out of RAM would be a bad
thing for either stack or heap.
