Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] arm/build: Warn on orphan section placement
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2020 13:49:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200622204915.2987555-2-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200622204915.2987555-1-keescook@chromium.org>

We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement
heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between
versions. All sections need to be explicitly named in the linker
script.

Specifically, this would have made a recently fixed bug very obvious:

ld: warning: orphan section `.fixup' from `arch/arm/lib/copy_from_user.o' being placed in section `.fixup'

Refactor linker script include file for use in standard and XIP linker
scripts, as well as in the coming boot linker script changes. Add debug
sections explicitly. Create ARM_COMMON_DISCARD macro with unneeded
sections .ARM.attributes, .iplt, .rel.iplt, .igot.plt, and .modinfo.
Create ARM_STUBS_TEXT macro with missed text stub sections .vfp11_veneer,
and .v4_bx. Finally enable orphan section warning.
