The ARM link scripts are very similar but each CPU has its own. This series adds support for a default link script across an architecture in arch/<arch>/cpu/u-boot.lds.

This patch series received no comments, and I apologize for not having chimed in on it as it goes the right way about simplifying ARM architecture.

Currently, all patches in the series do apply except patch 7, which fails on arch/arm/cpu/pxa/u-boot.lds. As this is trivial, I'm going on removing the file manually and testing, but can you please resubmit V3 with a fixed 1/7 patch?

Please make sure there were no changes to the linker file. I believe there were
some and it might break pxa.

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out. I am not testing pxa boards now, so Simon has time to submit a vV3 patch set before I get bitten by any change in PXA boards.

Yes there was a change to add a 4KB MMU memory area to the link script, presumably to allow early MMU enable and using that cache space as SRAM.

Exactly, PXA250 has no SRAM so I needed some place to put stack to etc.

I think I will add this feature to the generic .lds file since it does no harm, and it's a feature I would like to implement one day (early MMU enable). It might help ARM11 also.
