root disk. The embedded image is linked into the kernel in the .mfs
section.
Add rules and variables to kern.pre.mk and kern.post.mk that handle the
linking of the image. First objcopy is used to generate an object file.
Then, the object file is linked into the kernel.

emulator to do the early porting to FreeBSD long long ago). The clutter
and complexity of some of this code keeps getting in the way of other
maintenance, so it's time to go.

In bsd.sys.mk, these get appended to the regular CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS for

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).

Cummulative patch of changes that are not vendor-specific:
- ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture support
- ARM SMP support
- VFP/Neon support
- ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
- Simplification of startup code for all platforms
The following systems are involved:
- DB-88F5182
- DB-88F5281
- DB-88F6281
- DB-78100
- SheevaPlug
This overhaul covers the following major changes:
- All integrated peripherals drivers for Marvell ARM SoC, which are
currently in the FreeBSD source tree are reworked and adjusted so they
derive config data out of the device tree blob (instead of hard coded /
tabelarized values).
- Since the common FDT infrastrucutre (fdtbus, simplebus) is used we say
good by to obio / mbus drivers and numerous hard-coded config data.
Note that world needs to be built WITH_FDT for the affected platforms.

The above families of SOCs are built around CPU cores compliant with ARMv5TE
instruction set architecture definition. They share a number of integrated
peripherals. This commit brings support for the following basic elements:
* GPIO
* Interrupt controller
* L1, L2 cache
* Timers, watchdog, RTC
* TWSI (I2C)
* UART
Other peripherals drivers will be introduced separately.

This allows to fix a problem with ARM kernel.bin not having the MFS image
embedded: it is objcopied from the kernel.noheader temporary ELF file, which
was not subject to embedding the MFS image previously.

a proper solution.
- Add a dummy entry point which just calls the C entry points, and try to make
sure it's the first code in the binary.
- Copy a bit more than func_end to try to copy the whole load_kernel()
function. gcc4 puts code behind the func_end symbol.

You should configure the kernel with a new config(8) then.
