--- Comment #15 from Andrew Stubbs <ams at sourceware dot org> ---
It's just because the padding is added to the output section size when
--gap-fill is set in the following snippet:
objcopy.c, copy_object()
size = bfd_section_size (obfd, osections[i]);
gap_start = bfd_section_lma (obfd, osections[i]) + size;
gap_stop = bfd_section_lma (obfd, osections[i + 1]);
if (gap_start < gap_stop)
{
if (! bfd_set_section_size (obfd, osections[i],
size + (gap_stop - gap_start)))
The u-boot build system is doing this:
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objcopy -j .text -j .secure_text -j .rodata -j .hash -j
.data -j .got.plt -j .u_boot_list -j .rel.dyn --gap-fill=0xff -O binary u-boot
u-boot.bin
