BSS is zeroed by crt0.S, but after board_init_f(), before board_init_r(). Socfpga just had this double-zeroing because it invalidly used BSS in board_init_f(). Some weeks ago on this list, we've had a discussion whether it would be good to generally allow such early usage of BSS, possibly via a config option (socfpga is not the only platform affected). The outcome was negative and so I've started this patch. Regards, Simon > > [...]
