And that also obviously breaks "efi-x86" target as well because CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE seems to not be defined for EFI and then LD gets a string like "-Ttext -o u-boot" where CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is supposed to be used as some value. Frankly I'm not sure what to do with that - probably EFI is just a very special case... But FWIW I'm not very happy with mandatory "-ttext $(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE)" in case of ARC and here's why: 1. In case of ARCv2 ISA interrupt vector table is not just another code section with jump instructions to corresponding handlers but instead it's just a set of addresses pointing to corresponding handlers. I.e. that's a traditional IVT (interrupt vector table) which among other architectures is used on older ARCompact (AKA ARCv1 ISA): ------------------->8----------------- .ivt jump 0x1000_0000 jump 0x1000_1000 ... ------------------->8----------------- And that's what we have for ARCv2: ------------------->8----------------- .ivt 0x1000_0000 0x1000_1000 ... ------------------->8----------------- 2. Now one may think there's no big difference in 2 cases above except content: it is either encoded instructions or literals. But that really matters because in case of ARC (regardless ISA version) instructions are encoded in __middle-endian__ format while literals are normal little-endians. Consider the following example: ------------------->8----------------- .section .ivt .word 0x10000000 .word 0x10001000 .align 256 .section .text .word 0x10000000 .word 0x10001000 ------------------->8----------------- That will be compiled into this: ------------------->8----------------- Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <.text>: 0: 0000 1000 b 131072 ;0x20000 4: 1000 1000 ld r0,[r8] Disassembly of section .ivt: 00000000 <.ivt>: 0: 00 00 00 10 .word 0x10000000 4: 00 10 00 10 .word 0x10001000 ------------------->8----------------- Note how bytes are swapped in .text section. In the end that basically means we cannot put IVT in the beginning of .text section how it is usually done. We need to keep .ivt and .text sections as separate substances. And so far what we used to do we put .ivt section after .text. It was done as a preparation for ARCv2 port introduction here: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=20a58ac0d8e09d0bf1a74c6b68fea22784512b51 Now here comes another challenge - so far U-Boot was not the first piece of software that was executed by CPU, but what's even more important U-Boot was started by boot-ROM via jump to U-Boot's entry point (which happened to be it's start of .text section). But now we're going to run U-Boot as the first ever thing on power on and for that we'll put U-Boot in ROM such that CPU starts execution from "reset" vector and that will be U-Boot. In other words in hardware location of IVT is hard-coded as 0x0000_0000 and that's where we'll put U-Boot. With explanation above I think it's quite clear that we cannot have .text section there at 0x0000_0000 because what's going to happen is CPU will fetch the first "data" word from ROM and will attempt to junp at address it "sees" there. Obviously that won't be a correct address and so CPU will just jump into some unexpected location. Which basically means we need to put .ivt section in the very beginning of the image and have .text section at say 0x0000_1000. I.e. now we'll need to keep in mind at least 2 things: 1) CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is not the base-address of the uboot.img 2) .ivt's base-address is something just a couple of kB below CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE So if "-Ttext CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE" is not used for each and every board I may use CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE directly in linker just as we have it now, see http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=arch/arc/cpu/u-boot.lds#l14 and then there might be any section like .ivt, .text, .myfunkysection etc. In fact in the Linux kernel "-Ttext XXX" is not used for everybody - some arches like MIPS and PPC indeed set it but others do other things. The simplest thing might be is to add another #ifdef for ARC and X86 which both use CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE directly in their linker scripts like that: ------------------->8----------------- --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -820,9 +820,11 @@ LDFLAGS_u-boot += $(LDFLAGS_FINAL) # Avoid 'Not enough room for program headers' error on binutils 2.28 onwards.

So, part of the issue is that we need newer kernel.org toolchains (https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/7.3.0/) in order for buildman to be able to grab a nios2 toolchain, and that in turn has its own issues. You can however grab one of those (or the 6.4.0) version manually, extract into ~/.buildman/ and then just let buildman build the arch. -- Tom -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
