2009-03-20Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sectionsTrent Piepho
A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1', which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section gcc has now and might add in the future. However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command. This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards have a linker script that looks something like this: *(.text) . = ALIGN(16); *(.rodata) *(.rodata.str1.4) *(.eh_frame) I change this to: *(.text) . = ALIGN(16); *(.eh_frame) *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*))) This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned. However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to 16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is. Signed-off-by: Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org>
2008-11-18Align end of bss by 4 bytesSelvamuthukumar
Most of the bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes at a time. And the loop end is checked for an 'equal' condition. Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so that the loop will end as expected.

2008-01-12Fix linker scripts: add NOLOAD atribute to .bss/.sbss sectionsWolfgang Denk
With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with ELDK 4.2 beta): ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab] For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above. The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in the image. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>

2006-09-01Add support for a saving build objects in a separate directory.Marian Balakowicz
Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and support two use cases: 1) Add O= to the make command line 'make O=/tmp/build all' 2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location 'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build' 'make' The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script 'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build' './MAKEALL' Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable. When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and the object files are placed in the source directory.

2005-04-02Prepare for SoC rework of ARM code:wdenk
- rename CONFIG_BOOTBINFUNC into CONFIG_INIT_CRITICAL - rename memsetup into lowlevel_init (function name and source files)

- update ARM boards to use constants from mach-types.h
2004-02-08Patch by Anders Larsen, 09 Jan 2004:wdenk
ARM memory layout fixes: the abort-stack is now set up in the correct RAM area, and the BSS is zeroed out as it should be. Furthermore, the magic variables 'armboot_end' and 'armboot_end_data' of the linker scripts are replaced by '__bss_start' and '_end', resp., which is a further step to eliminate unnecessary differences between the implementation of the CPU architectures.
2003-12-06* Patch by Gleb Natapov, 19 Sep 2003:wdenk
Move most of the timer interrupt related PPC code to ppc_lib/interrupts.c * Patch by Anders Larsen, 17 Sep 2003: Bring ARM memory layout in sync with the documentation: stack and malloc-heap are now located _below_ the U-Boot code
2003-09-18* Patches by Anders Larsen, 17 Sep 2003:wdenk
- fix spelling errors - set GD_FLG_DEVINIT flag only after device function pointers are valid - Allow CFG_ALT_MEMTEST on systems where address zero isn't writeable - enable 3.rd UART (ST-UART) on PXA(XScale) CPUs - trigger watchdog while waiting in serial driver
2003-06-27* Code cleanup:wdenk
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc. - split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c) * Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003: - major rework of command structure (work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
2003-05-30* Get (mostly) rid of CFG_MONITOR_LEN definition; compute real lengthwdenk
instead CFG_MONITOR_LEN is now only used to determine _at_compile_ _time_ (!) if the environment is embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate flash sector. * Cleanup CFG_DER #defines in config files (wd maintained only)
