Dear ArmPkg maintainers (and later BaseTools maintainer), This is a fix for debugger correlation of global variables for AArch64 built on GCC.
Before this change looking at global variables with a debugger showed bogus memory locations. This is because the offset of the .data section in the ELF file did not reflect where it was placed in the PE-COFF (.efi) output. This change passes a linker control script so that the data section is packed next to .text so the ELF accurately reflects the relationship between the sections when converted to PE-COFF by GenFw. I have tested this with the Lauterbach debugger. I don't know how well it will work with other debuggers and debug scripts. If you would rather view the change as a github pull request: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/12 Signed-off-by: Eugene Cohen <eug...@hp.com>
