MIPS: Reserve space for relocation table

mpredfearn · ralfbaechle · commit 069fd766271d · 2016-05-13T14:02:02.000+02:00
When CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled, add a new section in the memory map to be filled with relocation data. CONFIG_RELOCATION_TABLE_SIZE allows the amount of space reserved to be adjusted if necessary. The relocs tool will populate this reserved space with relocation information. The space is reserved within the elf by filling it with 0's, and an invalid entry is left at the start of the space such that kernel relocation will be aborted if the table is empty.
