xtensa: reorganize vectors placement

2020-02-05T05:57:02+00:00

Allow vectors to be either merged into the kernel .text or put at a
fixed virtual address independently of XIP option. Drop option that
puts vectors at a fixed offset from the kernel text. Add choice to
Kconfig.
Vectors at fixed virtual address may be useful for XIP-aware MTD support
and for noMMU configurations with available IRAM. Configurations without
VECBASE register must put their vectors at specific locations regardless
of the selected option. All other configurations should happily use
merged vectors.

xtensa: separate SMP and XIP support

2020-02-05T05:56:15+00:00

There's no real dependency between SMP and XIP, allow them to be
selected together. Always define 2- and 4-argument SECTION_VECTOR
macros, always use 4-argument macro for the secondary reset vector and
always define relocation entry for it.

xtensa: move fast exception handlers close to vectors

2020-02-05T05:53:39+00:00

On XIP kernels it makes sense to have exception vectors and fast
exception handlers together (in a fast memory). In addition, with MTD
XIP support both vectors and fast exception handlers must be outside of
the FLASH.

Add section .exception.text and move fast exception handlers to it.
Put it together with vectors when vectors are outside of the .text.

xtensa: add XIP kernel support

2019-11-26T19:33:38+00:00

XIP (eXecute In Place) kernel image is the image that can be run
directly from ROM, using RAM only for writable data.

XIP xtensa kernel differs from regular xtensa kernel in the following
ways:
- it has exception/IRQ vectors merged into text section. No vectors
  relocation takes place at kernel startup.
- .data/.bss location must be specified in the kernel configuration,
  its content is copied there in the _startup function.
- .init.text is merged with the rest of text and is executed from ROM.
- when MMU is used the virtual address where the kernel will be mapped
  must be specified in the kernel configuration. It may be in the KSEG
  or in the KIO, __pa macro is adjusted to be able to handle both.

xtensa: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment

2019-11-04T17:42:27+00:00

Since the EXCEPTION_TABLE is read-only, collapse it into RO_DATA.

vmlinux.lds.h: Replace RW_DATA_SECTION with RW_DATA

2019-11-04T14:57:41+00:00

Rename RW_DATA_SECTION to RW_DATA. (Calling this a "section" is a lie,
since it's multiple sections and section flags cannot be applied to
the macro.)

vmlinux.lds.h: Replace RODATA with RO_DATA

2019-11-04T14:53:15+00:00

There's no reason to keep the RODATA macro: replace the callers with
the expected RO_DATA macro.

vmlinux.lds.h: Move NOTES into RO_DATA

2019-11-04T14:34:41+00:00

The .notes section should be non-executable read-only data. As such,
move it to the RO_DATA macro instead of being per-architecture defined.
