ARM/AArch64: Fix GetCmdLine semihosting directivesnewlib-snapshot-20170519
When simulating arm code, the target program startup code (crt0) uses semihosting invocations to get the command line from the simulator. The simulator returns the command line and its size into the area passed in parameter. (ARM 32-bit specifications : http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0058d/DUI0058.pdf chapter "5.4.19 SYS_GET_CMDLINE"). The memory area pointed by the semihosting register argument is located in .text section (usually not writtable (RX)). If we run this code on a simulator that respects this rights properties (qemu user-mode for instance), the command line will not be written to the .text program memory, in particular the length of the string. The program runs with an empty command line. This problem hasn't been seen earlier probably because qemu user-mode is not so much used, but this can happen with another simulator that refuse to write in a read-only segment. With this modification, the command line can be correctly passed to the target program. Changes: - libgloss/arm/crt0.S : Arguments passed to the AngelSWI_Reason_GetCmdLine semihosting invocation are placed into .data section instead of .text - libgloss/aarch64/crt0.S : Idem for aarch64 AngelSVC_Reason_GetCmdLine semihosting.
