Hi!
I have old boards that I'm trying to get up to current
revisions of various pieces of software, and I'm running
into a couple of problems with barebox. After bisecting
and sorting though git history for a couple of days,
these are my findings...
1st problematic patch:
070de908da ("ARM: remove PBL_FORCE_PIGGYDATA_COPY")
This patch claims to remove an option, but it also kills a region
overlap test that I appear to need on my board. This gets further
complicated by patches
81ca755487 ("common.h: remove unused region_overlap()")
04e2aa516e ("common.h: move and rename lregion_overlap()")
that first removes the needed but unused function, and then
repurposes its name, and by patch
0be48260b8 ("ARM: Merge single pbl with multi pbl")
which merges the old single pbl function into the multi pbl case.
2nd problematic patch
3e4a040545 ("ARM: mmu: use client domain permissions to support ARMv7 eXecute Never")
This just doesn't work for my boards, and I need to revert it.
3rd problematic patch
c5d38e9201 ("lds: Add and use RO_DATA_SECTION macro")
Again, just doesn't work on my board. I'm doing a partial revert, but
that gets further complicated by patch
cd23b6facf ("common: add initial barebox deep-probe support")
which piles in one more entry in the non-functional RO_DATA_SECTION
macro.
I'm going to follow up with patches. I very much realize that
these patches are most likely not acceptable as-is, but I do
include them since they are probably the best description of
where the problems are.
Cheers,
Peter

common.h: reintroduce region_overlap() as old_region_overlap()
ARM: copy data if there is a region overlap
Revert "ARM: mmu: use client domain permissions to support ARMv7
eXecute Never"
lds: the RO_DATA_SECTION macro does not work on my SAMA5D3 board
