To prepare for linker script creation with flexible number of linker
passes depending on system configuration then the Zephyr CMake linker
script generator has been updated to use pass names instead of pass
numbers.
This allows greater flexibility as a section can now be active based on
the settings on the pass and not the linking pass index number.
As part of this, the `PASS` processing in `linker_script_common.cmake`
has been adjusted so that it properly handles when a linking pass is
handling multiple settings, such as both `LINKER_APP_SMEM_UNALIGNED`
and `DEVICE_HANDLES_PASS1` in same linking pass.
As the number of linking passes are more flexible, then the PASS
argument in `zephyr_linker_section()` and
`zephyr_linker_section_configure()` has been updated to also support
a `NOT <name>` argument, for example: `PASS NOT LINKER_ZEPHYR_FINAL`.

Currently all calls to `configure_linker_script()` specifies `-D<name>`
when calling `configure_linker_script()`.
This works well for the gcc pre-processed ld linker script templates,
but Zephyr also supports a CMake linker script generator which can be
used for ld scripts and armlink scatter files.
In this case, a `-D` must be stripped.
This commit changes this so that Zephyr CMake build system calls
`configure_linker_script()` without `-D`.
Thus the `LINKER_SCRIPT` choice can decide how this information should
be passed to underlying linker script functionality, that is `-D` for
linker script template and CMake variable for the CMake linker script
generator.

Update -fno-pie to only be added when relevant. This fixes native_posix
builds on Debian hosts.
* Debian and other Linux distributions have ld with --warn-textrel as
default.
* The option generates a warning when linking on x86.
* The warning make scripts/twister fail because we treat all warnings
as error.
* The warning is issued when no PIE objects are linked against PIE
library.
* PIE (Position Independent Executable) or not can be seen with the
following command.
* When you want to generate non PIE, link with `-no-pie.`
Non PIE
$ readelf -l build/zephyr/zephyr.elf | grep 'Elf file type is'

Issue #35244
Signed-off-by: Yuval Peress <peress@google.com>
The root cause of #38591 was region symbols being placed before the
section description for data region.
Some region start symbols are placed before section description, other
region start symbols are placed inside the first section in the region
and thus identical to the sections own first symbol.
To support both schemes with the linker generator, a new
`SYMBOL SECTION` argument has been added to the zephyr_linker_group()
function.
The ld_script.cmake linker script generator has been updated to support
the new argument so that generated ld linker script has identical
behavior to the templated ld linker scripts.

A "Linker script" choice group has been added to the linker options
menu.
The existing HAVE_CUSTOM_LINKER_SCRIPT config has been relocated inside
the linker script menu.
Two new entries has been created:
- LD template, for using the old ld template files together with the C
pre-processor to create the final linker script.
- CMake linker generator, used for ARMClang / armlink toolchain.
The CMake linker generator is also supported for LD linker scripts
for the ARM architecture.
In CMake, the file cmake/linker/ld/target.cmake has been updated to
support the CMake LD linker generator.

Adding intial version of ld_script.cmake.
This script can generate ld linker script from the Zephyr CMake linker
functions.
This script is called by the build system and all linker settings, such
as memory regions, groups, output sections, linker symbols defined with
Zephyr CMake linker functions are passed to this script in order to
generate an ld linker script.

The current gen_handles.py script uses linker defined symbols.
As preparation for support of more linkers the gen_tables.py now takes
the device start symbol as argument.
For example, armlink and ld uses different symbols.
With ld those can be named explicitly, but for armlink the linker
decides the names.
For ld, Zephyr defines: __device_start
For armlink, the symbol is defined as: Image$$<section name>$$Base
Therefore knowledge of the linker symbol to be used must be passed to
gen_handles.py so that the correct symbol can be used for locating
devices.
To support this change, the creation of the asm, compiler, compiler-cpp,
linker targets has been moved from target_toolchain_flags.cmake to
target_toolchain.cmake.
All linkers has been updated to support the use of the
device_start_symbol on the linker target.
List of linkers updated:
- ld
- lld
- arcmwdt

This allows memory partitions to be put into the pinned
section so they are available during boot. For example,
the stack guard (in libc partition) is needed during boot
but before the paging mechanism is initialized. Without
pinning it in physical memory, it would fault in early
boot process.
A new cmake property app_smem,pinned_partitions is
introduced so that additional partitions can be pinned
if needed.

This means that gcc will link using `/usr/bin/ld` per default.
If ld points to lld, then linking will fail.
This commit will first look for ld.bfd, and if found then use
-fuse-ld=bfd for linking. If ld.bfd is not found, then ld is used as

Fixes: #28847
This commit fixes two places that was causing gen_relocate_app to fail
in windows.
gen_relocate_app.py now splits only on first `:` in
`<MEM_REGION>:<file>`.
Windows contains `:` in path, thus only first `:` is valid for splitting
mem region and file path.
Second part of the issue is fixed in CMake where `'` was used for
quoting of command arguments.
This causes a file not found on Windows because the final `'` would be
treated as part of the filename. Similar the first `'` would be treated
as path of the mem region name.
This is fixed by using `"` for quoting, which works correctly on all
platforms.

The current zephyr_get_compile_<type> flags returns compile / include
flags based on generator expressions.
But they also included a space.
This have the unintended side-effect that when the properties are
fetched into another variable and later appended to lists in order to
finally be used in a CMake target function / custom command, then CMake
in some cases will quote the string, creating a quoted argument like:
"arg0 arg1 arg2: instead of individual arguments like: "arg0" "arg1"
"arg2".
By using $<SEMICOLON>, then arguments are seperated correctly.

This commit extends `target_ld_options()` with a NO_SPLIT flag.
Specifying `NO_SPLIT` will ensure that all linker flags will be applied
together when testing the compiler and linker.
This allows a caller to ensure that flags are tested together.
This fixes the RISC-V case where the flags `-mabi` and `-march` were
omitted because they were tested individually.
Note, the update of `target_ld_options()` will allow the same flag on
`zephyr_ld_options()`

This commit updates the get Zephyr settings functions to be able to
handle settings if those settings are expressed using a generator
expression.
As example, zephyr_get_include_directories_for_lang(...) would prefix
each include property of zephyr_interface with `-I`, like this:
Property: include;include/generated;lib/libc/minimal/include
becomes: `-Iinclude -Iinclude/generated -Ilib/libc/minimal/include`
But if the property contains a generator expression:
Property: include;$<TARGET_PROPERTY:compiler,some_include>
becomes: -Iinclude -I$<TARGET_PROPERTY:compiler,some_include>
and in case that property is a list, this results in:
`-Iinclude -Iinclude/list_item1;include/list_item2;include/list_itemN`
and thus breaking the build.
This is fixed by using `$<JOIN:<list>>` expression instead, which
ensures all list item, regardless of provided as simple list or through
the usage another generator expression, will always expand correctly.
Functions updated in the commit:
- zephyr_get_include_directories_for_lang
- zephyr_get_system_include_directories_for_lang
- zephyr_get_compile_definitions_for_lang
- zephyr_get_compile_options_for_lang
The sample `application_development/external_lib` has been updated
according to those changes.
