treewide: rework linker symbol declarations in sections header

2023-08-09T13:21:42+00:00

1. Convert all linker symbols to char[] type so that we can get the
   corresponding address by calling array name 'var' or its address
   '&var'. In this way, we can avoid some potential issues[1].
2. Remove unused symbol '_TEXT_BASE'. It has been abandoned and has
   not been referenced by any source code.
3. Move '__data_end' to the arch x86's own sections header as it's
   only used by x86 arch.
4. Remove some duplicate declared linker symbols. Now we use the
   standard header file to declare them.

[1] This patch fixes the boot failure on MIPS target. Error log:
SPL: Image overlaps SPL

SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style

2018-05-07T13:34:12+00:00

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

arc: No need in sections defined in sources with newer tools

2016-08-05T09:50:25+00:00

Starting from arc-2016.03 GNU tools linker properly works with
symbols defined in linker script and so external declarations
are no longer required, dump them.

arc: relocate - minor refactoring and clean-up

2015-01-15T19:38:42+00:00

 * use better symbols for relocatable region boundaries
("__image_copy_start" instead of "CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE")
 * remove useless debug messages because they will only show up in case
of both problem (when normal "if" branch won't be taken) and DEBUG take
place which is pretty rare situation.

arc: introduce separate section for interrupt vector table

2015-01-15T19:38:42+00:00

Even though existing implementation works fine in preparation to
submission of ARCv2 architecture we need this change.

In case of ARCv2 interrupt vector table consists of just addresses
of corresponding handlers. And if those addresses will be in .text
section then assembler will encode them as everything in .text section
as middle-endian and then on real execution CPU will read swapped
addresses and will jump into the wild.

Once introduced new section is situated so .text section remains the
first which allows us to use common linker option for linking everything
to a specified CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.

arc: add architecture header files

2014-02-07T13:14:32+00:00

These are header files used by ARC700 architecture.

Also note that "arch-arc700/hardware.h" is only required for compilation of
"designware_i2c" driver which refers to "asm/arch/hardware.h".
It would be good to fix mentioned driver sometime soon but it will cause
changes in ARM board configs that use "designware_i2c".
