Previous patches cleaning up linker symbols, also merged any explicit
. = ALIGN(x); into section definitions -- e.g
.bss ALIGN(x) : instead of
. = ALIGN(x);
. bss : {...}
However, if the output address is not specified then one will be chosen
for the section. This address will be adjusted to fit the alignment
requirement of the output section following the strictest alignment of
any input section contained within the output section. So let's get rid
of the redundant ALIGN directives when they are not needed.
While at add comments for the alignment of __bss_start/end since our
C runtime setup assembly assumes that __bss_start - __bss_end will be
a multiple of 4/8 for armv7 and armv8 respectively.
It's worth noting that the alignment is preserved on .rel.dyn for
mach-zynq which was explicitly aligning that section on an 8b
boundary instead of 4b one.

image_copy_start/end are defined as c variables in order to force the compiler
emit relative references. However, defining those within a section definition
will do the same thing since [0].
So let's remove the special sections from the linker scripts, the
variable definitions from sections.c and define them as a symbols within
a section.

commit 47bd65ef057f ("arm: make __rel_dyn_{start, end} compiler-generated")
were moving the __rel_dyn_start/end on c generated variables that were
injected in their own sections. The reason was that we needed relative
relocations for position independent code and linker bugs back then
prevented us from doing so [0].
However, the linker documentation pages states that symbols that are
defined within a section definition will create a relocatable
type with the value being a fixed offset from the base of a section [1].

__efi_runtime_rel_start/end are defined as c variables for arm7 only in
order to force the compiler emit relative references. However, defining
those within a section definition will do the same thing since [0].
On top of that the v8 linker scripts define it as a symbol.
So let's remove the special sections from the linker scripts, the
variable definitions from sections.c and define them as a symbols within
the correct section.

commit 3ebd1cbc49f0 ("arm: make __bss_start and __bss_end__ compiler-generated")
and
commit f84a7b8f54db ("ARM: Fix __bss_start and __bss_end in linker scripts")
were moving the bss_start/end on c generated variables that were
injected in their own sections. The reason was that we needed relative

However, the linker documentation pages states that symbols that are
defined within a section definition will create a relocatable type with
the value being a fixed offset from the base of a section [1].
So let's start cleaning this up starting with the bss_start and bss_end
variables. Convert them into symbols within the .bss section definition.

In order to avoid defining CONFIG_ARMV[78_]SECURE_BASE as empty in the
linker scripts, if not already defined, add and use
__ARMV[78_]SECURE_BASE for when the base is not defined and we want the
linker scripts to continue.

Rename the sections used to implement linker lists so they begin with
'__u_boot_list' rather than '.u_boot_list'. The double underscore at the
start is still distinct from the single underscore used by the symbol
names.
Having a '.' in the section names conflicts with clang's ASAN
instrumentation which tries to add redzones between the linker list
elements, causing expected accesses to fail. However, clang doesn't try
to add redzones to user sections, which are names with all alphanumeric
and underscore characters.

Allow PSCI layer to handle any SiP service functions added by
platform vendors. PSCI layer will look for SiP service function
in the SiP function table located in '._secure_svc_tbl_entries'
section if the SMC function identifier is not found in the PSCI
standard functions table. Use DECLARE_SECURE_SVC macro to declare
and add platform specific SiP service function.
This new section '._secure_svc_tbl_entries' is located next to
'._secure.text' section. Refer to arch/arm/cpu/armv8/u-boot.lds.

Some times gcc may generate data that is then used within code that may
be part of an efi runtime section. That data could be jump tables,
constants or strings.
In order to make sure we catch these, we need to ensure that gcc emits
them into a section that we can relocate together with all the other
efi runtime bits. This only works if the -ffunction-sections and
-fdata-sections flags are passed and the efi runtime functions are
in a section that starts with ".text".
Up to now we had all efi runtime bits in sections that did not
interfere with the normal section naming scheme, but this forces
us to do so. Hence we need to move the efi_loader text/data/rodata
sections before the global *(.text*) catch-all section.
With this patch in place, we should hopefully have an easier time
to extend the efi runtime functionality in the future.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Allow placing a Linux kernel image header at the start of the U-Boot
binary. This is useful since the image header reports the amount of memory
(BSS and similar) that U-Boot needs to use, but that isn't part of the
binary size. This can be used by the code that loads U-Boot into memory to
determine where to load U-Boot, based on other users of memory.

This patch adds secure_text, secure_data and secure_stack sections for ARMv8 to
hold PSCI text and data, and it is based on the legacy implementation of ARMv7.
ARMV8_SECURE_BASE defines the address for PSCI secure sections, ARMV8_PSCI and
ARMV8_PSCI_NR_CPUS are firstly used in this patch, so they are introduce here
in Kconfig too.

After booting has finished, EFI allows firmware to still interact with the OS
using the "runtime services". These callbacks live in a separate address space,
since they are available long after U-Boot has been overwritten by the OS.
This patch adds enough framework for arbitrary code inside of U-Boot to become
a runtime service with the right section attributes set. For now, we don't make
use of it yet though.
We could maybe in the future map U-boot environment variables to EFI variables
here.
