ARM: simplify and fix linker script for TCM

2018-03-10T01:20:43Z

Let's put the TCM stuff in the __init section directly. No need for a separately freed memory area. Remove redundant linker sections, as well as comments that were more confusing than no comments at all. Finally make it XIP compatible by using LOAD_OFFSET in the section LMA specification.

ARM: linker script: factor out TCM bits

This is a plain move with identical results, and therefore still broken in the XIP case. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Tested-by: Chris Brandt

ARM: linker script: factor out stuff for the DISCARD section

2018-03-10T01:19:35Z

Move common entries to vmlinux.lds.h and leave XIP and non-XIP entries in their respective file. The ARM_NOMMU_KEEP() and ARM_NOMMU_DISCARD() macros are added to be usable within the definition of ARM_DISCARD macro. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Tested-by: Chris Brandt

ARM: linker script: factor out some common definitions between XIP and non-XIP

2018-03-10T01:19:01Z

Lots of duplications between vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux-xip.lds.S. This may lead to one file being updated but not the other. For example, SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT and HYPERVISOR_TEXT were missing from the XIP version. This creates vmlinux.lds.h where a bunch of common defines are moved.
