There are currently four symbols here, so drop the word 'two'.

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

image_copy_start/end are defined as c variables in order to force the compiler
emit relative references. However, defining those within a section definition
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 within
a section.

were moving the __rel_dyn_start/end on c generated variables that were
injected in their own sections. The reason was that we needed relative
relocations for position independent code and linker bugs back then
prevented us from doing so [0].

However, the linker documentation pages states that symbols that are
defined within a section definition will create a relocatable
type with the value being a fixed offset from the base of a section [1].

<title>treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")</title>

This commit does the same thing as Linux commit 33def8498fdd.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

This commit does the same thing as Linux commit 33def8498fdd.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

<title>SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style</title>

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.

<title>ARM: Add an empty secure stack section</title>

Until now we've been using memory beyond psci_text_end as stack space
for the secure monitor or PSCI implementation, even if space was not
allocated for it.

This was partially fixed in ("ARM: allocate extra space for PSCI stack
in secure section during link phase"). However, calculating stack space
from psci_text_end in one place, while allocating the space in another
is error prone.

This patch adds a separate empty secure stack section, with space for
CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI_NR_CPUS stacks, each 1 KB. There's also
__secure_stack_start and __secure_stack_end symbols. The linker script
handles calculating the correct VMAs for the stack section. For
platforms that relocate/copy the secure monitor before using it, the
space is not allocated in the executable, saving space.

For platforms that do not define CONFIG_ARMV7_PSCI_NR_CPUS, a whole page
of stack space for 4 CPUs is allocated, matching the previous behavior.
