This brings arm into line with how every other arch does it. For some
reason, only arm lacked a definition of a symbol named kernbase in its
locore.S file(s) for use in its ldscript.arm file. Needlessly different
means harder to maintain.
Using a common symbol name also eases work in progress on a script to help
generate arm and arm64 kernels packaged in various ways (like with a header
blob needed for a bootloader prepended to the kernel file).
symbols from the linked kernel.
The main thrust of this change is to generate a kernel that has the arm
"marker" symbols stripped. Marker symbols start with $a, $d, $t or $x, and
are emitted by the compiler to tell other toolchain components about the
locations of data embedded in the instruction stream (literal-pool
stuff). They are used for generating mixed-endian binaries (which we don't
support). The linked kernel has approximately 21,000 such symbols in it,
wasting space (500K in kernel.full, 190K in the final linked kernel), and
sometimes obscuring function names in stack tracebacks.
This change also simplifies the way the kernel is linked. Instead of using
sed to generate two different ldscript files to generate both an elf kernel
and a binary (elf headers stripped) kernel, we now use a single ldscript
that refers to a "text_start" symbol, and we provide the value for that
symbol using --defsym on the linker command line.
Nothing uses these anymore. They were for super small armv4 boards without
uboot. We removed armv4 support before 13.0, but neglected to garbage collect
this at the same time. Today, both flavors of armv5 kernels (mv and ralink) boot
via uboot which has its own compression scheme for boards that need it.
Note: OLDFILES has not been updated beacuse installkernel will move the whole
directory out of the way before installing the new kernel.

r336773 removed all things xscale. However, some things xscale are
really armv5. Revert that entirely. A more modest removal will follow.
Noticed by: andrew@
The OLD XSCALE stuff hasn't been useful in a while. The original
committer (cognet@) was the only one that had boards for it. He's
blessed this removal. Newer XSCALE (GUMSTIX) is for hardware that's
quite old. After discussion on arm@, it was clear there was no support
for keeping it.

VERSREQ < 7.+ physically will not work with new config(8) due to major bump,
which is why I bumped it in the first place... Back to the original version
config-generated hints.c/env.c from r335998 and later are incompatible with
earlier kernels due to no longer setting envmode/hintmode. A minor bump for
this is insufficient, as matching major version with a later minor version
is still viewed as backwards-compatible.
This was an MI kernel change, soo all VERSREQ's are bumped.

This actually fixes the build issues on sparc64 that my inclusion of

This slipped passed me because apparently, I never did a clean build.
files that can use the default value.
It used to be required that the low-order bits of KERNVIRTADDR matched
the low-order bits of the physical load address for all arm platforms.
That hasn't been a requirement for armv6 platforms since FreeBSD 10.
There is no longer any relationship between load addr and KERNVIRTADDR
except that both must be aligned to a 2 MiB boundary.
This change makes the default KERNVIRTADDR value 0xc0000000, and removes the
options from all the platforms that can use the default value. The default
is now defined in vmparam.h, and that file is now included in a few new
places that reference KERNVIRTADDR, since it may not come in via the
forced-include of opt_global.h on the compile command line.
Make armv7 as a new MACHINE_ARCH.
Copy all the places we do armv6 and add armv7 as basically an
alias. clang appears to generate code for armv7 by default. armv7 hard
float isn't supported by the the in-tree gcc, so it hasn't been
updated to have a new default.
Support armv7 as a new valid MACHINE_ARCH (and by extension
TARGET_ARCH).
Add armv7 to the universe build.

Previously the linker emulation was only passed when building binary
objects for firmware modules. This change always passes the desired
output format for kernel modules and kernels rather than requiring the
toolchain's default output format to match the desired output format.
This in turn permits use of external toolchains whose default output
format does not match the desired output format.

make the ARM EABI the default ABI on arm, armeb, armv6 and armv6eb.
This is intended to be the default ABI from now on with the old ABI to be
retired. Because of this all users are strongly suggested to upgrade to the
ARM EABI.
As the two ABIs are incompatible it is unlikely upgrading in place will
work. Users should perform a full backup and either use an external machine
to upgrade, or install to an alternative location on their media. They
should also reinstall all ports or packages when these are available.
The only known issues are:
- pkg incorrectly detects the ABI. This is fixed upstream, and will a
patch will be made to the port.
- GDB can have issues with executables built with clang.
__FreeBSD_version has been bumped.
- We need to add "-mllvm -arm-enable-ehabi" to clangs CFLAGS when
generating the unwind tables to tell it to add the required directives to
the assembly it generates.
but LDFLAGS is not (yet) passed on to the linker (via SYSTEM_LD et al).
Do so now. As such, any kernel configuration can now define linker
flags by setting LDFLAGS as normal and not have to revert to hacks
like setting DEBUG for flags that do not relate to debugging (see
sys/powerpc/conf/MPC85XX).
