fix(build): enforce single partition for LTO build
For example, build for PLAT=fvp SPD=spmd fails with a following error
when LTO is enabled using GCC 13.2.1:
aarch64-none-elf/bin/ld: /tmp/ccrG0Z8D.ltrans0.ltrans.o: in function `spmd_smc_forward':
arm-trusted-firmware/services/std_svc/spmd/spmd_main.c:749:(.text+0xbe50): undefined reference to `rdist_ctx'
aarch64-none-elf/bin/ld: arm-trusted-firmware/services/std_svc/spmd/spmd_main.c:749:(.text+0xbe58): undefined reference to `dist_ctx'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Access to rdist_ctx and dist_ctx is defined using inline assembler
like
__asm__ volatile ("ldr %0, =rdist_ctx" : "=r" (v) : "X" (rdist_ctx));
Access assembler function definitions moved to a different ltrans then
actual variables. Partitioner doesn't take into account defined and
used symbols in inline assembler. Depending on compiler partitioner
decision the same code builds for some platforms successfully.
This is a known gcc problem
1. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57703
2. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46820
TF-A source code isn't that big and enforcing single partitioning will
not affect build performance, but will fix problems with 'undefined
references' related to inline assembler.
