 * Partial Linker Script for OpenTitan Device Executables
 *
 * This Linker Script controls all the sections that we need in the ELF file for
 * a device executable, but which are not mapped into memory or otherwise
 * allocated on the device itself.
 *
 * These contain amongst other things:
 * - debugging information needed by DV logging,
 * - DWARF Sections
 * - RISC-V Attributes sections
 *
 * This is also where we specify the sections to discard, because it is a common
 * file between all our other linker scripts.
 *
 * This partial linker script requires the main linker script to define the
 * following symbols:
 * - _dv_log_offset

/*
 * Start DV Sections.
 *
 * The following sections are used by DV to implement logging in an
 * alternate way, which enables simulation speed up by completely avoiding
 * any string format processing or even the actual transmission of log data
 * to a real peripheral.
 *
 * These sections are marked as dummy so that they can still be extracted
 * using readelf or similar utilities. As such, the content in these sections
 * is not relevant for the actual SW code and can be safely discarded.
