Subject: [RFC PATCH 03/11] ARM: dls: Add ENTRY_HEADER macro to add .text section
Date: Thu, 11 May 2023 01:37:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230510233711.37345-4-jmaselbas@zdiv.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230510233711.37345-1-jmaselbas@zdiv.net>

On sunxi platforms the boot rom (BROM) looks for a specific header which
will also be loaded in memory, causing pbl, or barebox, image not loaded
at the expected BASE addresse. This also cause an issue with relocatable
pbl: instruction used for relocation expect the image to be aligned on a
4K page boundary.

The proposed solution here is to allow to specify custom sections to put
in the very begging of the .text section.
