GCC 10 no longer passes -many to the assembler. This enables more
checks in the assembler.
The 0 in the tlbie instruction is the L operand which selects a 4KiB
page size.
The work area initialization was done by the BSP through
bsp_work_area_initialize(). This approach predated the system
initialization through the system initialization linker set. The
workspace and C program heap were unconditionally initialized. The aim
is to support RTEMS application configurations which do not need the
workspace and C program heap. In these configurations, the workspace
and C prgram heap should not get initialized.
Change all bsp_work_area_initialize() to implement _Memory_Get()
instead. Move the dirty memory, sbrk(), per-CPU data, workspace, and
malloc() heap initialization into separate system initialization steps.
This makes it also easier to test the individual initialization steps.
This change adds a dependency to _Heap_Extend() to all BSPs. This
dependency will be removed in a follow up change.
Update #3838.
Fix the __size symbol value to reflect the total size of the bootloader.
This prevents a bootloader crash with application images above a certain
threshold (e.g. fileio sample program).
Update #3727.
The GNU ld had a couple of changes which resulted in a broken bootloader
image generation. Recent linker versions tie assignments to their
nearest output section statement. Place all absolute symbols which are
used with @sectoff relocations into a special section.

Update #3727
Rename _SMP_Get_processor_count() in _SMP_Get_processor_maximum() to be
in line with the API level rtems_scheduler_get_processor_maximum().
Update #3732.
Add rtems_scheduler_get_processor() as a replacement for
rtems_get_current_processor(). The rtems_get_current_processor() is a
bit orphaned. Adopt it by the Scheduler Manager. This is in line with
the glibc sched_getcpu() function.
Deprecate rtems_get_current_processor().
Update #3731.
- Use CamelCase as it is not used in our C code. Enables simple search and
replace.
- Prefix with "RTEMS" to aid deployment and integration. It aids
searching and sorting.
Update #3706.
Fix small data area in case no fixed size is desired. Rename
bsp_section_set_sdata_sbss_size into bsp_section_small_data_area_size
since this symbol reflects the overall small data area size (including
space for libdl). Do not use bsp_section_sbss_size before definition in
linker command file. Add new symbols to <bsp/linker-symbols.h>.
Update #3687.
- Add support for architecure sections that can be handled by the
architecture back end.
- Add trampoline/fixup support for PowerPC. This means the PowerPC
now supports large memory loading of applications.
- Add a bit allocator to manage small block based regions of memory.
- Add small data (sdata/sbss) support for the PowerPC. The support
makes the linker allocated small data region of memory a global
resource available to libdl loaded object files.
