ARM PIC has used r10 as the base register, but the tree has never been
consistent about it. Toolchain.defs gives CONFIG_BUILD_PIC
-mpic-register=r9 and CONFIG_PIC -mpic-register=r10, twenty-five lines
apart, and arm_initialstate.c sets REG_R9 from inline assembly under one
and REG_PIC under the other, with a comment reading "Set the PIC base
register (probably R10)". This settles it on r9 for all of PIC: NXFLAT,
ELF PIC and CONFIG_BUILD_PIC alike.
r9 is the right choice rather than an arbitrary one. It is the AAPCS
platform register, the "static base", and it is what GCC itself picks
for -msingle-pic-base on an EABI target; r10 is the non-EABI default.
It also removes a combination that cannot build today. Stack checking
adds -ffixed-r10 in armv7-m/Toolchain.defs and armv8-m/Toolchain.defs,
while CONFIG_PIC adds -mpic-register=r10, and GCC rejects the pair with
"unable to use 'r10' for PIC register". The comment above REG_PIC has
always said the register "can be R9 if stack checking is enabled", but
the definition was unconditionally REG_R10, so it would have named the
wrong register even had the build succeeded.
The thunk generator moves with the firmware. NXFLAT import stubs had
the register baked in as "add ip,ip,sl", so a module built for r9 would
load and then branch to a wild address on its first call out. The stubs
now come from NXFLAT_PIC_REG in the in-tree tool, which is built only
when CONFIG_NXFLAT is set, following the
CONFIG_BOARD_ETC_ROMFS_PASSWD_ENABLE precedent in tools/Unix.mk.
That leaves modules built before this change, and they are the reason
for the ABI marker. The NXFLAT header cannot carry a version: h_magic
is written by ldnxflat, which is GPL, derived from elf2flt, and stays
out of this repository, so it can never be changed in step with the
loader. The import table can, because both of its ends are in-tree --
mknxflat emits it and nxflat_bindimports() reads it -- and ldnxflat
passes it through untouched. So every module now imports
__nxflat_abi_v2, the base firmware defines it, and a module that does
not import it is refused.
Making the marker a real exported symbol rather than a name the loader
special-cases is what keeps it out of the build system's way: a board's
symbol table picks it up exactly as it picks up printf, so mksymtab.sh
and its equivalents need no change. It also gives the reverse direction
a diagnosis for free -- a module built against a newer ABI than its
firmware fails with "Exported symbol __nxflat_abi_v2 not found".
Most of the remaining churn is boards restating a default. ARCHPICFLAGS
is a "?=" default so that a board only speaks up when it differs, and
twenty-six were assigning the value the default already had. MKNXFLAT
gets the same treatment: thirteen boards named the same tool, and the
only thing that varies is ARM versus Thumb-2, which falls out of
CONFIG_ARM_THUMB. LDNXFLAT gains a default too -- it stays an
out-of-tree PATH lookup, but naming it centrally fixes boards that never
assigned it, where it expanded to nothing and handed make a recipe
beginning "-e", whose leading dash make ate as "ignore errors".
The non-ARM boards carrying -mpic-register=r10 lose it: it is an
ARM-only option, reachable only through CPICFLAGS, which is only used to
build NXFLAT modules, and no non-ARM board enables NXFLAT.
Boards keep nothing about PIC flags any more. ARCHPICFLAGS was set by
sixty-three of them and only ever fed CPICFLAGS, which is only used to
build NXFLAT modules; no board outside arch/arm enables NXFLAT, so every
non-ARM copy was setting a variable nothing read. Those are removed
rather than moved somewhere more central, which would only make dead
text look load-bearing. LDNXFLAT goes the same way as MKNXFLAT, for the
same reason: thirteen boards named the same tool that Toolchain.defs now
names once.
One of them was not merely redundant. am67/t3-gem-o1 asked for
"-mpic-register=r10 -ffixed-r10", which GCC refuses outright with
"unable to use 'r10' for PIC register" -- the very combination the
filter-out machinery in Toolchain.defs exists to prevent. It has
survived because that board does not build NXFLAT modules, so the flags
are never handed to a compiler. Renaming the register would have
carried the fault forward unchanged, so the line goes.
Tested on lm3s6965-ek:qemu-nxflat under QEMU, configured and built with
no overrides. The nxflat example runs the errno, hello and struct
modules with output identical to the same config built from master.
Built with the old out-of-tree thunk generator instead, the same
firmware refuses all three with ENOEXEC rather than locking up in a
HardFault, which is what this change is for. mps3-an547:picostest,
which is CONFIG_PIC without CONFIG_NXFLAT, builds clean and does not
build the thunk generator.
The .def files pick up two cosmetic changes here alongside the register:
a "Dyanamic" typo that codespell rejects, and a reworded comment in each
thunk_*.c. Neither appears in the emitted thunk -- both are in C
comments -- so the generated text is still what the upstream tool
produces, modulo the register itself.
BREAKING CHANGE: ARM PIC moves from r10 to r9. An NXFLAT module built
before this change has r10 baked into its import stubs and will not run
against a firmware carrying it; the two cannot be mixed. The module is
refused with ENOEXEC rather than branching to a wild address, by way of the
__nxflat_abi_v2 marker described below.
Quick fix: rebuild the module against this tree. Its source needs no
change. A board that reserved r10 by hand, or that assigned ARCHPICFLAGS
or MKNXFLAT to restate a default, should drop those assignments; nothing
else is affected, and CONFIG_PIC without CONFIG_NXFLAT needs no action.

When I try to set priorities in certain programs, such as init_priority(HIGH_PRIORITY), I've noticed that during linking, there's no guarantee that the programs will be compiled in the sequence I've specified based on priority. This has led to some runtime errors in my program.
I realized that in the ld file, when initializing dynamic arrays, there's no assurance of initializing init_array.* before init_array. This has resulted in runtime errors in the program. Consequently, I've rearranged the init_array.* in the ld file of NuttX to be placed before init_array and added a SORT operation to init_array.* to ensure accurate initialization based on priorities during linking.
Changes the executable type built against the `make export` target fully linked by default. This greatly improves performance when loading applications, as relocations no longer need to be processed.
Enable this option to optimization the unused input sections with the
linker by compiling with " -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections ", and
linking with " --gc-sections ".

## Summary
A lot of linker scripts were listed twice, once for unix, once for windows.
This PR cleans up the logic so they're only listed once.
## Impact
Any opportunity to use a single source of truth and reduce lines of code is a win!
## Testing
CI will test all build
In the current compilation environment, the recursive assignment(=) for compile
flags will be delayed until every file is actually need to be compile.
For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
arch/arm/src/Makefile:
INCLUDES += ${shell $(INCDIR) "$(CC)" $(ARCH_SRCDIR)$(DELIM)chip}
INCLUDES += ${shell $(INCDIR) "$(CC)" $(ARCH_SRCDIR)$(DELIM)common}
INCLUDES += ${shell $(INCDIR) "$(CC)" $(ARCH_SRCDIR)$(DELIM)$(ARCH_SUBDIR)}
INCLUDES += ${shell $(INCDIR) "$(CC)" $(TOPDIR)$(DELIM)sched}
CPPFLAGS += $(INCLUDES) $(EXTRAFLAGS)
CFLAGS += $(INCLUDES) $(EXTRAFLAGS)
CXXFLAGS += $(INCLUDES) $(EXTRAFLAGS)
AFLAGS += $(INCLUDES) $(EXTRAFLAGS)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All compilation options will be included recursively,
which will be delayed until the compilation options are actually used:
tools/Config.mk:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
define COMPILE
@echo "CC: $1"
$(Q) $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $($(strip $1)_CFLAGS) $1 -o $2
endef
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All compile flags to be reexecuted $(INCDIR) as long as one file needs to be compiled,
but in fact, the compilation options have not changed in the current directory.
So the we recommand to change the syntax of assignment
From
Recursive (=)
To
Simple (:=)
In this way, we can ensure that all compilation options are expanded only once and reducing repeated works.

Only Make.defs files tht followed the same pattern as the ARM Make.defs were modified. This excludes some of the sim and renesas Make.defs files and all of the z80 Make.defs files.
So call 'make EXTRAFLAGS=-Wno-cpp' could suppress the warnings with pre-processor
directive #warning in GCC.
