    Fix relocation of __PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE__ · 7173f5f6
    Vikram Kanigiri authored
    When a platform port does not define PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE, the total
    memory that should be allocated per-cpu to accommodate all bakery locks is
    calculated by the linker in bl31.ld.S. The linker stores this value in the
    __PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE__ linker symbol. The runtime value of this symbol is
    different from the link time value as the symbol is relocated into the current
    section (.bss). This patch fixes this issue by marking the symbol as ABSOLUTE
    which allows it to retain its correct value even at runtime.
    
    The description of PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE in the porting-guide.md has been
    made clearer as well.
