This feature is inspired by /proc/config.gz of Linux. In Linux,
if CONFIG_IKCONFIG is enabled, the ".config" file contents are
embedded in the kernel image. If CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC is also
enabled, the ".config" contents are exposed to /proc/config.gz.
Users can do "zcat /proc/config.gz" to check which config options
are enabled on the running kernel image.
The idea is almost the same here; if CONFIG_CMD_CONFIG is enabled,
the ".config" contents are compressed and saved in the U-Boot image,
then printed by the new command "config".
The usage is quite simple. Enable CONFIG_CMD_CONFIG, then run
> config
from the command line interface. The ".config" contents will be
printed on the console.
This feature increases the U-Boot image size by about 4KB (this is
mostly due to the gzip-compressed .config file). By default, it is
enabled only for Sandbox because we do not care about the memory
footprint on it. Of course, this feature is architecture agnostic,
so you can enable it on any board if the image size increase is
acceptable for you.

We convert CONFIG_PARTITION_UUIDS to Kconfig first. But in order to cleanly
update all of the config files we must also update CMD_PART and CMD_GPT to also
be in Kconfig in order to avoid complex logic elsewhere to update all of the

Use the generic "distro" boot framework to enable automatic DHCP boot.
MMC and USB are not yet implemented, so this is the only boot option.
The fdt and kernel addresses are adopted from downstream; ramdisk and

Enable CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE via Kconfig.
Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <michal.simek@xilinx.com>

Currently, CMD_PXE is forcibly enabled in config_distro_defaults.h, so
that general purpose distributions can rely on it being defined. This
header is included, under conditions or not, by various archs or
famillies of archs / SoCs.
However, it is very possible that boards based on those SoCs will not
have a physical ethernet connector at all, even if the have a MAC; for
example, the Nanopi Neo AIR (sunxi H3) does not. It is also possible
that network booting is absolutely not necessary for a device.
However, it is not possible to disable the PXE command, as it is
forcibly enabled and is non-configurable.
But it turns out we already have a config option to build a distro-ready
image, in the name of DISTRO_DEFAULTS.
Move CMD_PXE out of the hard-coded config_distro_defaults.h into a
Kconfig option, that gets selected by DISTRO_DEFAULTS when it is set.

Commit e2f88dfd2d96 ("libfdt: Introduce new ARCH_FIXUP_FDT option")
allows us to skip memory setup of DTB, but a problem for ARM is that
spin_table_update_dt() and psci_update_dt() are skipped as well if
CONFIG_ARCH_FIXUP_FDT is disabled.
This commit allows us to skip only fdt_fixup_memory_banks() instead
of the whole of arch_fixup_fdt(). It will be useful when we want to
use a memory node from a kernel DTB as is, but need some fixups for
Spin-Table/PSCI.

I took a closer look at this after the commit was applied, and found
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN=0x2000 was too much. 8KB memory for SPL is
actually too big for some boards. Perhaps 0x800 is enough, but the
situation varies board by board.

We need to ensure that CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is configured via Kconfig so
that it is always available to the build system. Otherwise we can run
into cases where we have inconsistent sizes of certain attributes.
Ravi Babu reported offset mismatch of struct dwc3 across files since
commit 95ebc253e6d4 ("types.h: move and redefine resource_size_t").
Since the commit, resource_addr_t points to phys_addr_t, whose size
is dependent on CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT for ARM architecture.
I tried my best to use "select" where possible (for example, ARMv8
architecture) because I think this kind of option is generally user-
unconfigurable. However, I see some of PowerPC boards have 36BIT
defconfigs as well as 32BIT ones. I moved CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT to the
defconfigs for such boards.
CONFIG_36BIT is no longer referenced, so all of the defines were
removed from CONFIG_SYS_EXTRA_OPTIONS.

DISTRO_DEFAULTS is intended to mirror / replace
include/config_distro_defaults.h.
The intend is for boards which include this file to select this from
their Kconfig files and when moving setting to Kconfig which are #define-ed
in config_distro_defaults.h to select this from DISTRO_DEFAULTS so that
boards which have selected DISTRO_DEFAULTS will keep the same configuration
as before without needing any defconfig file changes.
The initial list of selected things matches all settings recently removed
from config_distro_defaults.h because they have been converted to Kconfig,
with the exception of CMD_ELF and CMD_NET, which have a default of y, if
the default of these ever changes they should be selected by DISTRO_DEFAULTS
too.
For testing and example purposes this commit also converts ARCH_SUNXI
to use DISTRO_DEFAULT instead of selecting everything it needs itself.

There are already two FIT options in Kconfig but the CONFIG options are
still in the header files. We need to do a proper move to fix this.
Move these options to Kconfig and tidy up board configuration:
CONFIG_FIT
CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
CONFIG_FIT_VERBOSE
CONFIG_OF_STDOUT_VIA_ALIAS
CONFIG_RSA
Unfortunately the first one is a little complicated. We need to make sure
this option is not enabled in SPL by this change. Also this option is
enabled automatically in the host builds by defining CONFIG_FIT in the
image.h file. To solve this, add a new IMAGE_USE_FIT #define which can
be used in files that are built on the host but must also build for U-Boot
and SPL.

Moving them into their own directory makes them easier to find and is more

For historical reason, CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE has been specified
in various ways:
[1] by board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/config.mk
[2] by CONFIG_SYS_EXTRA_OPTIONS
(This was "options" field of boards.cfg before Kconfig conversion)
[3] by include/configs/${BOARD}.h
[4] by configs/${BOARD}_defconfig
Most of M68K boards use either [1] or [2], both of which we want to
deprecate. Switch them into [4], which is the newest way (Kconfig).
We still allow [3] too, because it is still used by many boards and
we expect much time for conversion.

At present in SPL we place the device tree immediately after BSS. This
avoids needing to copy it out of the way before BSS can be used. However on
some boards BSS is not placed with the image - e.g. it can be in RAM if
available.
Add an option to tell U-Boot that the device tree should be placed at the
end of the image binary (_image_binary_end) instead of at the end of BSS.
Note: A common reason to place BSS in RAM is to support the FAT filesystem.
We should update the code so that it does not use so much BSS.

malloc_simple uses a part of the stack as heap, initially it uses
SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN bytes which typically is quite small as the initial
stacks sits in SRAM and we do not have that much SRAM to work with.
When DRAM becomes available we may switch the stack from SRAM to DRAM
to give use more room. This commit adds support for also switching to
a new bigger malloc_simple heap located in the new stack.
Note that this requires spl_init to be called before spl_relocate_stack_gd

This commit introduces new config: CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_CLEAR_ON_INIT.
This config is an expert option and is enabled by default.
The all amount of memory reserved for the malloc, is by default set
to zero in mem_malloc_init(). When the malloc reserved memory exceeds
few MiB, then the boot process can slow down.
So disabling this config, is an expert option to reduce the boot time,
and can be disabled by Kconfig.
Note:
After disable this option, only calloc() will return the pointer
to the zeroed memory area. Previously, without this option,
the memory pointed to untouched malloc memory region, was filled
with zeros. So it means, that code with malloc() calls should
be reexamined.

At present SPL uses a single stack, either CONFIG_SPL_STACK or
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR. Since some SPL features (such as MMC and
environment) require a lot of stack, some boards set CONFIG_SPL_STACK to
point into SDRAM. They then set up SDRAM very early, before board_init_f(),
so that the larger stack can be used.
This is an abuse of lowlevel_init(). That function should only be used for
essential start-up code which cannot be delayed. An example of a valid use is
when only part of the SPL code is visible/executable, and the SoC must be set
up so that board_init_f() can be reached. It should not be used for SDRAM
init, console init, etc.
Add a CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R option, which allows the stack to be moved to a new
address before board_init_r() is called in SPL.
The expected SPL flow (for CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK) is documented in the README.

When Kconfig for U-boot was examined, one of the biggest issues was
how to support multiple images (Normal, SPL, TPL). There were
actually two options, "single .config" and "multiple .config".
After some discussions and thought experiments, I chose the latter,
i.e. to create ".config", "spl/.config", "tpl/.config" for Normal,
SPL, TPL, respectively.
It is true that the "multiple .config" strategy provided us the
maximum flexibility and helped to avoid duplicating CONFIGs among
Normal, SPL, TPL, but I have noticed some fatal problems:
[1] It is impossible to share CONFIG options across the images.
If you change the configuration of Main image, you often have to
adjust some SPL configurations correspondingly. Currently, we
cannot handle the dependencies between them. It means one of the
biggest advantages of Kconfig is lost.
[2] It is too painful to change both ".config" and "spl/.config".
Sunxi guys started to work around this problem by creating a new
configuration target. Commit cbdd9a9737cc (sunxi: kconfig: Add
%_felconfig rule to enable FEL build of sunxi platforms.) added
"make *_felconfig" to enable CONFIG_SPL_FEL on both images.
Changing the configuration of multiple images in one command is a
generic demand. The current implementation cannot propose any
good solution about this.
[3] Kconfig files are getting ugly and difficult to understand.
Commit b724bd7d6349 (dm: Kconfig: Move CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to
Kconfig) has sprinkled "if !SPL_BUILD" over the Kconfig files.
[4] The build system got more complicated than it should be.
To adjust Linux-originated Kconfig to U-Boot, the helper script
"scripts/multiconfig.sh" was introduced. Writing a complicated
text processor is a shell script sometimes caused problems.
Now I believe the "single .config" will serve us better. With it,
all the problems above would go away. Instead, we will have to add
some CONFIG_SPL_* (and CONFIG_TPL_*) options such as CONFIG_SPL_DM,
but we will not have much. Anyway, this is what we do now in
scripts/Makefile.spl.
I admit my mistake with my apology and this commit switches to the
single .config configuration.
It is not so difficult to do that:
- Remove unnecessary processings from scripts/multiconfig.sh
This file will remain for a while to support the current defconfig
format. It will be removed after more cleanups are done.
- Adjust some makefiles and Kconfigs
- Add some entries to include/config_uncmd_spl.h and the new file
scripts/Makefile.uncmd_spl. Some CONFIG options that are not
supported on SPL must be disabled because one .config is shared
between SPL and U-Boot proper going forward. I know this is not
a beautiful solution and I think we can do better, but let's see
how much we will have to describe them.
