Subject: arc: make sure _start is in the beginning of .text section
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=89576072cb60d50b61813f901c6fc296c01de506;p=u-boot.git

arc: make sure _start is in the beginning of .text section

This is important to have entry point in the beginning of .text section
because it allows simple loading and execution of U-Boot.

For example pre-bootloader loads U-Boot in memory starting from offset
0x81000000 and then just jumps to the same address.

Otherwise pre-bootloader would need to find-out where entry-point is. In
its turn if it deals with binary image of U-Boot there's no way for
pre-bootloader to get required value.
