nios2: Update linker scripts to ensure appended device tree is aligned

2026-01-20T18:07:17Z

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: - Aligns the final section before _end 8-bytes by adding '. = ALIGN(8);' to the final section before the symbol. - Remove a now-spurious '. = ALIGN(x);' statement that was intended to provide the above alignments. - Ensure that we do have alignment by adding an ASSERT so that when not aligned we fail to link (and explain why).

linker_lists: Rename sections to remove . prefix

2022-06-23T16:58:18Z

Rename the sections used to implement linker lists so they begin with '__u_boot_list' rather than '.u_boot_list'. The double underscore at the start is still distinct from the single underscore used by the symbol names. Having a '.' in the section names conflicts with clang's ASAN instrumentation which tries to add redzones between the linker list elements, causing expected accesses to fail. However, clang doesn't try to add redzones to user sections, which are names with all alphanumeric and underscore characters. Signed-off-by: Andrew Scull Reviewed-by: Simon Glass

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

2018-05-07T13:34:12Z

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. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini

nios2: define _end in link script

2015-10-22T23:28:38Z

Since commit 44c6e6591cb451ae606f8bde71dd5fb7b4002544 "rename _end to __bss_end__" , the _end was removed. But we need it now for separated device tree control, ie, CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE . The _end is used by fdtdec_setup() to find the blob. Signed-off-by: Thomas Chou Acked-by: Marek Vasut Reviewed-by: Simon Glass

nios2: remove gp assignments in link script

2015-10-22T23:28:38Z

Since we don't use gp for small data with option "-G0", we use gp as global data pointer. The _gp location is not needed. The ALIGN(16) was for gp only. It is removed, so that we can get correct address of dtb in u-boot-dtb.bin image. Signed-off-by: Thomas Chou Reviewed-by: Simon Glass Acked-by: Marek Vasut

nios2: link to CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE and remove text_base hook

2014-08-30T09:48:43Z

This patch changes the link script to base at CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE. Then we can remove the text_base hook in nios2-generic board. Signed-off-by: Thomas Chou

Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-arm

2013-03-18T18:37:18Z

Albert's rework of the linker scripts conflicted with Simon's making everyone use __bss_end. We also had a minor conflict over README.scrapyard being added to in mainline and enhanced in u-boot-arm/master with proper formatting.

Replace __bss_end with bss_end

2013-03-15T20:13:54Z

Note this is a tree-wide change affecting multiple architectures. At present we use __bss_start, but mostly __bss_end__. This seems inconsistent and in a number of places __bss_end is used instead. Change to use __bss_end for the BSS end symbol throughout U-Boot. This makes it possible to use the asm-generic/sections.h file on all archs. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
