Incorrect section attributes with ALLOW_RO_XLAT_TABLES=1 - TF-A

6 Mar 2020


      Hi.
If I build TF-A with ALLOW_RO_XLAT_TABLES=1,
the base xlat table goes into .rodata section
instead of .bss section.
Then, I see a warning like:
/tmp/ccswitLr.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccswitLr.s:297: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata
Is this a know issue?
[Reproduce Command]
make PLAT=fvp CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ALLOW_RO_XLAT_TABLES=1
