2013-03-12Refactor linker-generated arraysAlbert ARIBAUD1-64/+0
Refactor linker-generated array code so that symbols which were previously linker-generated are now compiler- generated. This causes relocation records of type R_ARM_ABS32 to become R_ARM_RELATIVE, which makes code which uses LGA able to run before relocation as well as after. Note: this affects more than ARM targets, as linker- lists span possibly all target architectures, notably PowerPC.

2012-10-22common: Add symbol handling for generic lists into MakefileMarek Vasut1-0/+64
This patch adds essential components for generation of the contents of the linker section that is used by the linker-generated array. All of the contents is held in a separate file, u-boot.lst, which is generated at runtime just before U-Boot is linked. The purpose of this code is to especially generate the appropriate boundary symbols around each subsection in the section carrying the linker-generated arrays. Obviously, the interim linker code for actual placement of the variables into the section is generated too. The generated file, u-boot.lst, is included into u-boot.lds via the linker INCLUDE directive in u-boot.lds . Adjustments are made in the Makefile and spl/Makefile so that the u-boot.lds and u-boot-spl.lds depend on their respective .lst files.
