arm: Update linker scripts to ensure appended device tree is aligned

2026-01-20T18:06:41+00:00

With commit 0535e46d55d7 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version
v1.7.2-35-g52f07dcca47c") it is now a fatal error to U-Boot if our
device tree is not 8-byte aligned. In commit 85f586035d75 ("ARM: OMAP2+:
Pad SPL binary to 8-byte alignment before DTB") Beleswar Padhi explains
that we must have ALIGN(x) statements inside of a section to ensure that
padding is included and not simply that the linker address counter is
incremented. To that end, this patch:
- Expands some linker sections to be more readable when adding a second
  statement to the section.
- Aligns the final section before _end (for U-Boot) or
  _image_binary_end or __bss_end (for xPL phases) by 8-bytes by adding
  '. = ALIGN(8);' to the final section before the symbol.
- Ensure that we do have alignment by adding an ASSERT so that when not
  aligned we fail to link (and explain why).
- Remove now-spurious  '. = ALIGN(x);' statements that were intended to
  provide the above alignments.

arm: move _end to linker symbols

2024-06-07T22:20:29+00:00

commit 6e2228fb052b ("Merge patch series "Clean up arm linker scripts")
was cleaning up linker scripts for armv7 and v8 but was leaving
_end and __secure_stack_start/end.

commit d0b5d9da5de2 ("arm: make _end compiler-generated")
was moving _end to be compiler generated. _end is defined as c variable
in its own section to force the compiler emit relative a reference.
However, defining those in the linker script will do the same thing
since [0].

So let's remove the special sections from the linker scripts, the
variable definitions from sections.c and define them as a symbols.
It's worth noting that _image_binary_end symbol is now redundant and
can be removed in the future.

The .end section has been removed from the new binary

Revert "Merge patch series "arm: dts: am62-beagleplay: Fix Beagleplay Ethernet""

When bringing in the series 'arm: dts: am62-beagleplay: Fix Beagleplay
Ethernet"' I failed to notice that b4 noticed it was based on next and
so took that as the base commit and merged that part of next to master.

This reverts commit c8ffd1356d42223cbb8c86280a083cc3c93e6426, reversing

Convert CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT et al to Kconfig

2021-08-31T21:47:49+00:00

This converts the following to Kconfig:
   CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
   CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY

In order to do this, we need to introduce SPL and TPL variants of these
options so that we can clearly disable these options only in SPL in some
cases, and both instances in other cases.

common: Drop asm/global_data.h from common header

2021-02-02T20:33:42+00:00

Move this out of the common header and include it only where needed.  In
a number of cases this requires adding "struct udevice;" to avoid adding
another large header or in other cases replacing / adding missing header
files that had been pulled in, very indirectly.   Finally, we have a few
cases where we did not need to include  at all, so
remove that include.

treewide: convert bd_t to struct bd_info by coccinelle

2020-07-17T13:30:13+00:00

The Linux coding style guide (Documentation/process/coding-style.rst)
clearly says:

  It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.

Besides, using typedef for structures is annoying when you try to make
headers self-contained.

Let's say you have the following function declaration in a header:

  void foo(bd_t *bd);

This is not self-contained since bd_t is not defined.

To tell the compiler what 'bd_t' is, you need to include 

  #include 
  void foo(bd_t *bd);

Then, the include direcective pulls in more bloat needlessly.

If you use 'struct bd_info' instead, it is enough to put a forward
declaration as follows:

  struct bd_info;
  void foo(struct bd_info *bd);

Right, typedef'ing bd_t is a mistake.

I used coccinelle to generate this commit.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

  
  @@
  typedef bd_t;
  @@
  -bd_t
  +struct bd_info
