Fix a few gcc warnings.

2011-05-12T21:17:52+00:00

Noticed while building all of mpc8xx. Also
constify usage string in timer.c
Warnings fixed are:
timer.c: In function 'timer':
timer.c:189: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments
timer.c:258: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments
atm.c: In function 'atmUnload':
atm.c:99: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
atm.c: In function 'atmLoad':
atm.c:65: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
codec.c: In function 'codsp_write_pop_int':
codec.c:678: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
codec.c: In function 'codsp_write_cop_short':
codec.c:585: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
codec.c: In function 'codsp_write_sop_int':

Fix variable flavor in examples/standalone/Makefile

2011-05-12T20:25:16+00:00

GNU Makefile have two flavors of variables, recursively expanded that is
defined by using '=', and simply expanded that is defined by using ':='.

The bug is caused by using recursively expanded flavor for BIN and SREC.
As you can see below, they are prepended by $(obj) twice.

We can reproduce this bug with a simplified version of this Makefile:
$ cat >Makefile <<\EOF
obj := /path/to/obj/
ELF := hello_world

BIN_rec = $(addsuffix .bin,$(ELF))      # recursively expanded
BIN_sim := $(addsuffix .bin,$(ELF))     # simply expanded

ELF := $(addprefix $(obj),$(ELF))
BIN_rec := $(addprefix $(obj),$(BIN_rec))
BIN_sim := $(addprefix $(obj),$(BIN_sim))

show:
	@echo BIN_rec=$(BIN_rec)
	@echo BIN_sim=$(BIN_sim)

.PHONY: show
EOF
$ make show
BIN_rec=/path/to/obj//path/to/obj/hello_world.bin
BIN_sim=/path/to/obj/hello_world.bin

MIPS: Introduce --gc-sections for MIPS

2011-05-09T15:08:10+00:00

All architectures but MIPS are using --gc-sections on final linking.
This patch introduces that feature for MIPS to reduce the memory and
flash footprint.

Make STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR configurable per board

2011-04-12T20:58:32+00:00

Rename STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR into CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
and allow that the architecture-specific default value gets
overwritten by defining the value in the board header file.

Fix build problems caused by "_end" -> "__bss_end__" rename

2011-03-31T06:54:35+00:00

Commit 44c6e65 "rename _end to __bss_end__ broke building of a large
number of systems (at least all PowerPC?):

libstubs.o: In function `app_startup':
examples/standalone/stubs.c:197: undefined reference to `__bss_end__'

The rename should not be done for the files in the
examples/standalone/ directory, as these are not using the code from
start.S, but do their own BSS clearing, and either use their own
linker scripts or the ones provided by the compilers.

rename _end to __bss_end__

2011-03-27T17:18:37+00:00

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section.  We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

Switch from archive libraries to partial linking

2010-11-17T20:02:18+00:00

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

examples/standalone: Use gcc's -fno-toplevel-reorder

2010-10-12T20:47:03+00:00

Using -fno-toplevel-reorder causes gcc to not reorder functions.  This
ensures that an application's entry point will be the first function in
the application's source file.

This change, along with commit 620bbba524fbaa26971a5004793010b169824f1b
should cause a standalone application's entry point to be at the base of
the compiled binary.  Previously, the entry point could change depending
on gcc version and flags.

Note -fno-toplevel-reorder is only available in gcc version 4.2 or
greater.
