Issue with Linker Script in STM32CubeMX 6.12.1

[Semer CHERNI]

Important Notice for STM32CubeMX Users

Current Release: STM32CubeMX 6.12.1

Purpose: This release primarily addresses issues related to STM32MPUs.

Problem: Issues introduced with the generated code for Makefile and CMake projects.

Recommendation:

• For MCU Users: If you are using an MCU (not an MPU), it is recommended to stay on STM32CubeMX 6.12.0.
• For MPU Users generating code for MCUs: follow the instructions below.

Issue Description:

• Problem: When compiling a CMake or Makefile project, a build error occurs due to a syntax error related to the linker file.
  
• Cause: The .data, .bss, and ._user_heap_stack sections are not attributed to the RAM memory region. Additionally, the RAM attribute is missing from the highest address in the user stack calculation formula.

Solution:

1. Attribute Memory Sections: Ensure that the .data, .bss, and ._user_heap_stack sections are attributed to the appropriate RAM memory region
   .
2. Update Stack Calculation: Add the RAM attribute to the highest address in the user stack calculation formula.
