[U-Boot] [PATCH v11 13/30] arm: relocate_code(): Use __image_copy_end for end of relocation

Benoît Thébaudeau benoit.thebaudeau at advansee.com
Tue Apr 9 21:48:42 CEST 2013


Use __image_copy_end instead of __bss_start for the end of the image to
relocate. This is the same as commit 033ca72, but applied to all ARM start.S.

This is a more appropriate symbol naming for an image copy & relocate feature,
and this also saves a useless copy of data put between __image_copy_end and
__bss_start in linker scripts (e.g. relocation information, or MMU
initialization tables used only before jumping to the relocated image).
