      PIE: Use PC relative adrp/adr for symbol reference · f1722b69
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch fixes up the AArch64 assembly code to use
      adrp/adr instructions instead of ldr instruction for
      reference to symbols. This allows these assembly
      sequences to be Position Independant. Note that the
      the reference to sizes have been replaced with
      calculation of size at runtime. This is because size
      is a constant value and does not depend on execution
      address and using PC relative instructions for loading
      them makes them relative to execution address. Also
      we cannot use `ldr` instruction to load size as it
      generates a dynamic relocation entry which must *not*
      be fixed up and it is difficult for a dynamic loader
      to differentiate which entries need to be skipped.

      Add support for romlib in the build system · 5accce5b
      Roberto Vargas authored
      
      
      Romlib is a new image that is stored in ROM and contains the code of
      several libraries that can be shared between different images. All
      the functions within in the library are accessed using a jump table
      which allows to update the romlib image whithout changing the binary
      compatibility. This jump table can be also stored in RAM and it can
      allow to patch a romlib with potential bugs fixes..
