At least BBL relies on the flat binaries containing all the bytes in the
actual image to exist in the file. Before this revert the flat images
dropped the trailing zeros, which caused BBL to put its copy of the
device tree where Linux thought the BSS was, which wreaks all sorts of
havoc. Manifesting the bug is a bit subtle because BBL aligns
everything to 2MiB page boundaries, but with large enough kernels you're
almost certain to get bitten by the bug.
While moving the sections around isn't a great long-term fix, it will at
least avoid producing broken images.
This reverts commit 22e6a2e14cb8ebcae059488cf24e778e4058c2bf.

The objcopy only emits loadable sections when creating flat kernel
Image. To have minimal possible size of flat kernel Image, we should
have all non-loadable sections after loadable sections.
Currently, execption table section (loadable section) is after BSS
section (non-loadable section) in the RISC-V vmlinux.lds.S. This
is not optimal for having minimal flat kernel Image size hence this
patch makes BSS section as the last section in RISC-V vmlinux.lds.S.
In addition, we make BSS section aligned to 16byte instead of PAGE
aligned which further reduces flat kernel Image size by few KBs.
The flat kernel Image size of Linux-4.20-rc4 using GCC 8.2.0 is
8819980 bytes with current RISC-V vmlinux.lds.S and it reduces to
7991740 bytes with this patch applied. In summary, this patch reduces
Linux-4.20-rc4 flat kernel Image size by 809 KB.

This patch extends Linux RISC-V build system to build and install:
Image - Flat uncompressed kernel image
Image.gz - Flat and GZip compressed kernel image
Quiet a few bootloaders (such as Uboot, UEFI, etc) are capable of
booting flat and compressed kernel images. In case of Uboot, booting
Image or Image.gz is achieved using bootm command.
The flat and uncompressed kernel image (i.e. Image) is very useful
in pre-silicon developent and testing because we can create back-door
HEX files for RAM on FPGAs from Image.

This patch contains all the build infrastructure that actually enables
the RISC-V port. This includes Makefiles, linker scripts, and Kconfig
files. It also contains the only top-level change, which adds RISC-V to
the list of architectures that need a sed run to produce the ARCH
variable when building locally.
