265072ba75 MIPS: add .padding section to linker script
Commit 79fd7e649e

    MIPS: always keep all sections in u-boot ELF binary.

    Always keep all sections in u-boot ELF binary. Move all unneeded
    sections after _end to avoid allocating space in the final binary.
    Also remove .deadcode section which is now obsolete.

removed section .deadcode because the original symptoms were not
visible anymore. Unfortuneatly the binutils bug still exists.

The size of .rel.dyn section is often bigger than needed for all
entries. But objcopy only allocates space as much as required for all
reloc entries. Thus there is a gap between the last entry and
__rel_dyn_end in u-boot.bin. If u-boot is booted from RAM (e.g. in
SPL scenarios) that area could contain garbage data which could lead
to CPU exceptions during relocation.

a0af08b9db MIPS: define __init_end in u-boot.lds
The generic board code uses the __init_end symbol to calculate
monitor_flash_len. Define said symbol for MIPS, equivalent to
__image_copy_end which is used for the same purpose in
arch/mips/lib/board.c.

ef123c5253 Refactor linker-generated arrays
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.

0ba8926e08 MIPS: u-boot.lds: add relocation specific sections
This section contain the table needed for dynamic
relocation. Also provide symbols for the relocation
code to access the table.

Discard all sections which are not needed in the final
ELF binary and U-Boot image. Section .dynsym cannot be
discarded or GNU ld crashes otherwise. This section
will be stripped by GNU objcpy in a later patch.

28875e2c47 MIPS: start.S: use symbol __image_copy_end for U-Boot image relocation
Use the newly introduced symbol __image_copy_end as end address for
relocation of U-Boot image. This is needed for dynamic relocation added
in later patches. This patch obsoletes the symbols uboot_end and
uboot_end_data which are removed.

45397816b2 MIPS: compute num_got_entries from .got section's size
The '__got_start' and '__got_end' symbols are used
only in the linker script to compute the value of
the 'num_got_entries' symbol.

Remove the symbols and use the SIZEOF(.got) command
to get the size of the .got section.
