Child sections can be created depending on the CFLAGS used when building Contiki.
For instance, if built with -ffunction-sections or -fdata-sections would create
one section per function/variable and -Os sometimes split part of .text into one
child section.
This can also be an issue if we start linking with external libraries that are
built in such a way. Since we can't foresee how the port is going to be used,
we should make sure it is ready for the cases above.
This patch fixes this by correctly grouping child sections into their parent
sections.
Patch developed while investigating a bug with José Souza (jose.souza@intel.com).
This patch adds "--build-id=none" to default LDFLAGS so
.note.gnu.build-id section is not generated. This section
contains unique identification for the built files what is
not important to us (at least at this moment).
This change simplifies all linker scripts for SoCs based on x86
(at this moment we only have Quark X1000) since we don't have to
care about it anymore.
This is a refactoring patch, no functionality is changed. It moves
loader.S and galileo.ld from platform/galileo/ to cpu/x86/ directory
since they seem to be more SoC-specific than platform-specific.
It also renames galileo.ld to quarkX1000.ld since it can be used by
any platform based on Quark X1000 SoC, not only Galileo.
Furthermore, this patch also renames loader.S to bootstrap_quarkX1000.S
since it is pretty much a bootstrap code to any platform based on Quark
X1000 SoC.
