commit 6e2228fb052b ("Merge patch series "Clean up arm linker scripts")
was cleaning up linker scripts for armv7 and v8 but was leaving
_end and __secure_stack_start/end.
commit d0b5d9da5de2 ("arm: make _end compiler-generated")
was moving _end to be compiler generated. _end is defined as c variable
in its own section to force the compiler emit relative a reference.
However, defining those in the linker script 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.
It's worth noting that _image_binary_end symbol is now redundant and
can be removed in the future.

The .end section has been removed from the new binary

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.

__efi_runtime_start/end are defined as c variables for arm7 only in

On top of that the v8 linker scripts define it as a symbol.

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].

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.

The main reason is that DT memory reserved code is expecting DT to be 64bit
aligned. For more information take a look at commit 5bd5ee02b23b ("xilinx:

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.

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.

When using EFI_LOADER, we add a few special sections for runtime code and
data which get relocated on demand when executing a target OS.
These runtime structures need to get annotated properly in the linker script.
While we do that properly in the generic one, we missed out on the zynq
specific linker script.
This patch adds the EFI runtime section annotations into the zynq linker script
so that the efi loader code actually works on that platform.
