- * Discard the relocation entries for secure text.
- * The secure code is bundled with u-boot image, so there will
- * be relocations entries for the secure code, since we use
- * "-mword-relocations" to compile and "-pie" to link into the
- * final image. We do not need the relocation entries for secure
- * code, because secure code will not be relocated, it only needs
- * to be copied from loading address to CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE,
- * which is the linking and running address for secure code.
- * If keep the relocation entries in .rel.dyn section,
- * "relocation offset + linking address" may locates into an
- * address that is reserved by SoC, then will trigger data abort.
+ * If CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE is true, secure code will not
+ * bundle with u-boot, and code offsets are fixed. Secure zone
+ * only needs to be copied from the loading address to
+ * CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE, which is the linking and running
+ * address for secure code.
*
- * The reason that move .rel._secure at the beginning, is to
- * avoid hole in the final image.
+ * If CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE is undefined, the secure zone will
+ * be included in u-boot address space, and some absolute address
+ * were used in secure code. The absolute addresses of the secure
+ * code also needs to be relocated along with the accompanying u-boot
+ * code.
+ *
+ * So DISCARD is only for CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE.
