There is no 'sandbox:' tag.
This seems to break sandbox in a pretty strange way:

Also the commit message suggests that this patch changes sandbox to use --gc-sections, which is not obvious from the subject. I think that should be a separate commit and in fact it should really be separate commits for each arch, I think. That might help people notice it...
I only noticed now since the EFI pull request has landed.
Can you try my bss patch really quick? Maybe we're just overwriting gd.

This patch breaks efi-x86_app_defconfig. The EFI application no longer boots. I was testing on top of u-boot/master.
If I do:
diff --git a/arch/x86/config.mk b/arch/x86/config.mk index 586e11a..fc119ec 100644 --- a/arch/x86/config.mk +++ b/arch/x86/config.mk @@ -24,7 +24,6 @@ endif ifeq ($(IS_32BIT),y) PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -march=i386 -m32 # TODO: These break on x86_64; need to debug further -PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -fdata-sections else PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += $(if $(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD),,-fpic) -fno-common -m64 endif
Then it boots again. Can you please take a look?
Regards, Bin
Please can we revert the offending patch quickly for the release? I am not comfortable with the sandbox changes either (data-sections, etc.).
I can not reproduce the sandbox breakage (and travis doesn't seem to either, otherwise it would be broken for everyone, no?). Can you give me some guidelines on how to reproduce the failures for you and I'll just fix it?
I would like to revert the sandbox changes at least. I don't want to enable -ffunction-sections, for example.
Could you please explain why? In general I always thought the sandbox target was meant as debugging aid which allows you to find and debug bugs more easily.
I would assume that chances for breakage are higher with function and data sections, because the linker could remove code it considers dead? So for a debugging target, I would think it makes sense to have it enabled rather than disabled.
