arm: mxs: Avoid passing FORCE to commands

2026-06-15T18:49:56Z

Commit bd3f9ee679b4 ("kbuild: Bump the build system to 6.1") adds FORCE as a prerequisite to the if_changed rules here, but the commands use $^ so FORCE leaks in as a stray operand. The dd in cmd_mkalign_mxs fails (silently, since its stderr is discarded) and the binary is never aligned, stat in cmd_mkivt_mxs emits an error and cst receives a bogus argument. Use $< and $(real-prereqs) instead, which exclude FORCE. Fixes: bd3f9ee679b4 ("kbuild: Bump the build system to 6.1") Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

arm: Remove rel.dyn from SPL linker scripts

2026-01-28T18:57:01Z

As of v2026.01, no platforms contain any rel.dyn sections in their xPL phase images. Their inclusion in linker scripts initially was an oversight as part of taking the full U-Boot linker scripts and modifying them down. Then in commit 8b0ebe054bb3 ("arm: Update linker scripts to ensure appended device tree is aligned") these sections were used to force correct alignment for the device tree. This however, lead to a different problem. That problem is that when we do not have a separate BSS section in SPL we instead would overlay the BSS with the rel.dyn section, in the common linker script case. This in turn lead to creating an incorrectly sized BSS "pad" file sometimes (depending on arbitrary changes within the rest of the binary itself). This in turn lead to the dtb being in the wrong location in the binary and not found at run time. This commit fixes a few things: - Remove the rel.dyn section from all ARM SPL linker scripts. - In turn, this moves the dtb alignment statement in to another section. - For ast2600 which uses CONFIG_POSITION_INDEPENDENT we need to keep the symbols however.

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

2026-01-20T18:06:41Z

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.

kbuild: Bump the build system to 6.1

2026-01-02T16:28:14Z

Our last sync with the kernel was 5.1. We are so out of sync now, that tracking the patches and backporting them one by one makes little sense and it's going to take ages. This is an attempt to sync up Makefiles to 6.1. Unfortunately due to sheer amount of patches this is not easy to review, but that's what we decided during a community call for the bump to 5.1, so we are following the same guidelines here.

Kbuild: Always use $(PHASE_)

2025-04-11T18:16:44Z

It is confusing to have both "$(PHASE_)" and "$(XPL_)" be used in our Makefiles as part of the macros to determine when to do something in our Makefiles based on what phase of the build we are in. For consistency, bring this down to a single macro and use "$(PHASE_)" only. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini
