2025-12-06update GCC version check after Kbuild bumpBrian Sune
ARM GCC tool check is not up to date, while issues are reported such as file truncated linker errors. Using ARM official cross tools shows that 10.0.1 is a safe version to support latest kbuild bump properly. Signed-off-by: Brian Sune <[email protected]>

2025-04-11Kbuild: Always use $(PHASE_)Tom Rini
It is confusing to have both "$(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 <[email protected]>

2023-04-25arm: Centralize fixed register logicTom Rini
When building for ARM64, we need to pass -ffixed-x18 and otherwise pass -ffixed-r9. Rather than having this logic in two places, we can do this once in arch/arm/config.mk. Further, while gcc will ignore being passed both -ffixed-r9 and -ffixed-x18 and simply use -ffixed-x18, clang will note that -ffixed-r9 is not used. Remove this duplication to also remove the warning. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2022-09-02Makefile: Allow LTO to be disabled for a buildSimon Glass
LTO (Link-Time Optimisation) is an very useful feature which can significantly reduce the size of U-Boot binaries. So far it has been made available for selected ARM boards and sandbox. However, incremental builds are much slower when LTO is used. For example, an incremental build of sandbox takes 2.1 seconds on my machine, but 6.7 seconds with LTO enabled. Add a NO_LTO parameter to the build, similar to NO_SDL, so it can be disabled during development if needed, for faster builds. Add some documentation about LTO while we are here.

2022-06-23linker_lists: Rename sections to remove . prefixAndrew Scull
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.

2021-09-02ARM: Prevent the compiler from using NEON registersSamuel Holland
For ARMv8-A, NEON is standard, so the compiler can use it even when no special target flags are provided. For example, it can use stores from NEON registers to zero-initialize large structures. GCC 11 decides to do this inside the DRAM init code for the Allwinner H6. However, GCC 11 has a bug where it generates misaligned NEON register stores even with -mstrict-align. Since the MMU is not enabled this early in SPL, the misaligned store causes an exception and breaks booting. Work around this issue by restricting the compiler to using GPRs only, not vector registers. This prevents any future surprises relating to NEON use as well.

2018-07-25efi_loader: Rename sections to allow for implicit dataAlexander Graf
Some times gcc may generate data that is then used within code that may be part of an efi runtime section. That data could be jump tables, constants or strings. In order to make sure we catch these, we need to ensure that gcc emits them into a section that we can relocate together with all the other efi runtime bits. This only works if the -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections flags are passed and the efi runtime functions are in a section that starts with ".text". Up to now we had all efi runtime bits in sections that did not interfere with the normal section naming scheme, but this forces us to do so. Hence we need to move the efi_loader text/data/rodata sections before the global *(.text*) catch-all section. With this patch in place, we should hopefully have an easier time to extend the efi runtime functionality in the future. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <[email protected]> [agraf: Fix x86_64 breakage]
2018-05-07SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel styleTom Rini
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 <[email protected]>
2018-04-27clang: Update documentationTom Rini
As of clang-5.0, things have changed a bit. First, we cannot automatically guess -target values as if we do not pass one with CC then cc-option will fail. Second, to disable movt/movw relocations the argument has become -mno-movt. Related to the target part, we cannot use arm-none-eabi as that ends up being too generic of an ARM target for things like say rpi_3_32b to work. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <[email protected]>

2017-04-08ARMv8: add GOT sections to the list of sections copiedPhilipp Tomsich
Recent Linux distributions (e.g. Debian 9) include cross-compilers for AArch64, but only for the aarch64-linux-gnu triplet only. It can thus be expected that users will attempt to use the system cross-compiler (instead of an aarch64-elf variant) to compile U-Boot for their ARMv8 target systems. One key differences between an aarch64-linux-gnu and an aarch64-elf compiler are the default settings regarding position-independent: with the aarch64-linux-gnu compiler, the default will create and use the global offset table. This change-set adjusts the list of sections copied on ARMv8 to include the GOT sections. With this added, the list matches the previous setup for AArch32 closely. Note that this is not an 'academic' issue, but was in fact encountered by our QA during testing of the RK3399-Q7 BSP and resulted in an early failure of the SPL stage during FDT setup.

2016-03-15efi_loader: Add runtime servicesAlexander Graf
After booting has finished, EFI allows firmware to still interact with the OS using the "runtime services". These callbacks live in a separate address space, since they are available long after U-Boot has been overwritten by the OS. This patch adds enough framework for arbitrary code inside of U-Boot to become a runtime service with the right section attributes set. For now, we don't make use of it yet though. We could maybe in the future map U-boot environment variables to EFI variables here.

2016-01-31arm: config: enforce -fno-pic for gccPeng Fan
Android's tool chain enable the -mandroid at default. This option will enable the -fpic, which cause uboot compilation failure: " LD u-boot u-boot contains unexpected relocations: R_ARM_ABS32 R_ARM_RELATIVE " In my testcase, arm-linux-androideabi-gcc-4.9 internally enables '-fpic', so when compiling code, there will be relocation entries using type R_ARM_GOT_BREL and .got section. When linking all the built-in.o using ld, there will be R_ARM_ABS32 relocation entry and .got section in the final u-boot elf image. This can not be handled by u-boot, since u-boot only expects R_ARM_RELATIVE relocation entry. arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.9 default does not enable '-fpic', so there is not .got section and R_ARM_GOT_BREL in built-in.o. And in the final u-boot elf image, all relocation entries are R_ARM_RELATIVE. we can pass '-fno-pic' to xxx-gcc to disable pic. whether the toolchain internally enables or disables pic, '-fno-pic' can work well.

2015-01-09arm: build arch memset/memcpy in Thumb2 modeStefan Agner
Resynchronize memcpy/memset with kernel 3.17 and build them in Thumb2 mode (unified syntax). Those assembler files can be built and linked in ARM mode too, however when calling them from Thumb2 built code, the stack got corrupted and the copy did not succeed (the exact details have not been traced back). However, the Linux kernel builds those files in Thumb2 mode. Hence U-Boot should build them in Thumb2 mode too when CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD is set. To build the files without warning, some assembler instructions had to be replaced with their UAL compliant variant (thanks Jeroen for this input). To build the file in Thumb2 mode the implicit-it=always option need to be set to generate Thumb2 compliant IT instructions where needed. We add this option to the general AFLAGS when building for Thumb2.
