Populate header file xen.lds.h with the first portion of macros storing constructs common to x86 and arm linker scripts. Replace the original constructs with these helpers. No functional improvements to x86 linker script. Making use of common macros improves arm linker script with: - explicit list of debug sections that otherwise are seen as "orphans" by the linker. This will allow to fix issues after enabling linker option --orphan-handling one day, - extended list of discarded section to include: .discard, destructors related sections, .fini_array which can reference .text.exit, - sections not related to debugging that are placed by ld.lld. Even though we do not support linking with LLD on Arm, these sections do not cause problem to GNU ld. Please note that this patch does not aim to perform the full sync up between the linker scripts. It creates a base for further work. Signed-off-by: Michal Orzel <michal.orzel@arm.com> --- Changes since v2: -refactor commit msg -move constructs together with surrounding ifdefery -list constructs other than *_SECTIONS in alphabetical order -add comment about EFI vs EFI support Changes since v1: -merge x86 and arm changes into single patch -do not propagate issues by generalizing CTORS -extract sections not related to debugging into separate macro -get rid of _SECTION suffix in favor of using more meaningful suffixes --- xen/arch/arm/xen.lds.S | 44 +++---------- xen/arch/x86/xen.lds.S | 96 +++------------------------- xen/include/xen/xen.lds.h | 129 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 147 insertions(+), 122 deletions(-)
