Even if ARC core might handle unaligned access to data this
hardware feature by default is disabled.
But GCC starting from 8.1.0 unconditionally uses it for ARC HS cores.
Which leads to quite strange and fatal run-time failures like the one

CREG GPIO is a driver for weird soc-specific output ports, which are
controlled by some fields in memory mapped register.
Example:
31 9 7 5 0 < bit number
| | | | |
[ not used | gpio-1 | gpio-0 | <-shift-> ] < 32 bit register
^ ^
| |
write 0x2 == set output to "1" (activate)
write 0x3 == set output to "0" (deactivate)
As of tooday we only support fixed (hardcoded) bit per gpio line,
activate / deactivatei and shift values. Fix that by read them from
device tree to be able to use this driver for other boards.
Remove "hsdk" prefix from compatible string as this driver can be
used with different boards like HSDK, AXS101, AXS103, etc.

Synopsys DesignWare ARC EM Development Kit (ARC EMDK) is
an FPGA-based development platform from Synopsys aimed to speed-up
development of software for ARC EM cores and entire subsystems based on
ARC EM like Data Fusion, Secure and Sensor & Control subsystems.
U-Boot is supposed to be used as a primary bootloader on EMDK allowing

We used to have the one and only linker script for all ARC boards
and so we relied on a particular order of symbols there.
Because of that we used __ivt_end as the marker of the end of all the
code which won't be true any longer if we move .ivt section to any other
place. That said we'd better check for each section separately.
A couple of other improvements:
1. There's no point to include the marker of section end in interested
range because its address is beyond the section, i.e. we should
compare with "<" but not "<=".
2. .ivt section for ARCv2 cores is just an array of 32-bit ints and
they are not swapped even on little-endia cores while in case of
ARCompact cores .ivt contains valid code so swapping is required.
3. Just in case add check for ARC600 which is also ARCompact
and its .ivt is normal code.

We don't care much about I$ line length really as there're
no per-line ops on I$ instead we only do full invalidation of it
on occasion of relocation and right before jumping to the OS.
Also as compared to Linux kernel where we don't support different
lengths of I$ and D$ lines in U-Boot we have to deal with such an
exotic configs if the target board is not supposed to run Linux kernel.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

hsdk_clock get - save clock frequencies to axi_freq, cpu_freq
and tun_freq environment variables
hsdk_clock print - show CPU, AXI, DDR and TUNNEL current
clock frequencies.
hsdk_clock print_all - show all currently used clock frequencies.
hsdk_init - setup board HW in one of pre-defined configuration
(hsdk_hs34 / hsdk_hs36 / hsdk_hs36_ccm / hsdk_hs38 /
hsdk_hs38_ccm / hsdk_hs38x2 / hsdk_hs38x3 / hsdk_hs38x4)

We don't implement separate flush_dcache_all() intentionally as
entire data cache invalidation is dangerous operation even if we flush
data cache right before invalidation.
There is the real example:
We may get stuck in the following code if we store any context (like
BLINK register) on stack in invalidate_dcache_all() function.
BLINK register is the register where return address is automatically saved
when we do function call with instructions like 'bl'.
void flush_dcache_all() {
__dc_entire_op(OP_FLUSH);
// Other code //
}
void invalidate_dcache_all() {
__dc_entire_op(OP_INV);
// Other code //
}
void foo(void) {
flush_dcache_all();
invalidate_dcache_all();
}
Now let's see what really happens during that code execution:
foo()
|->> call flush_dcache_all
[return address is saved to BLINK register]
[push BLINK] (save to stack) ![point 1]
|->> call __dc_entire_op(OP_FLUSH)
[return address is saved to BLINK register]
[flush L1 D$]
return [jump to BLINK]
<<------
[other flush_dcache_all code]
[pop BLINK] (get from stack)
return [jump to BLINK]
<<------
|->> call invalidate_dcache_all
[return address is saved to BLINK register]
[push BLINK] (save to stack) ![point 2]
|->> call __dc_entire_op(OP_FLUSH)
[return address is saved to BLINK register]
[invalidate L1 D$] ![point 3]
// Oops!!!
// We lose return address from invalidate_dcache_all function:
// we save it to stack and invalidate L1 D$ after that!
return [jump to BLINK]
<<------
[other invalidate_dcache_all code]
[pop BLINK] (get from stack)
// we don't have this data in L1 dcache as we invalidated it in [point 3]
// so we get it from next memory level (for example DDR memory)
// but in the memory we have value which we save in [point 1], which
// is return address from flush_dcache_all function (instead of
// address from current invalidate_dcache_all function which we
// saved in [point 2] !)
return [jump to BLINK]
<<------
// As BLINK points to invalidate_dcache_all, we call it again and
// loop forever.
Fortunately we may do flush and invalidation of D$ with a single one
instruction which automatically mitigates a situation described above.
And because invalidate_dcache_all() isn't used in common U-Boot code we
implement "flush and invalidate dcache all" instead.

We improve on 2 things:
1. Only ARC HS family has "dmb" instructions so do compile-time
check for automatically defined macro __ARCHS__.
Previous check for ARCv2 ISA was not good enough because ARC EM
family is v2 ISA as well but still "dmb" instaruction is not
supported in EM family.
2. Still if there's no dedicated instruction for memory barrier
let's at least insert compile-time barrier to make sure
compiler deosn't reorder critical memory operations.

Disabling relocation might be useful on ARC for 2 reasons:
a) For advanced debugging with Synopsys proprietary MetaWare debugger
which is capable of accessing much more specific hardware resources
compared to gdb. For example it may show contents of L1 and L2 caches,
internal states of some hardware blocks etc.
But on the downside MetaWare debugger still cannot work with PIE.
Even though that limitation could be work-arounded with change of ELF's
header and stripping down all debug info but with it we won't have
debug info for source-level debugging which is quite inconvenient.
b) Some platforms which might benefit from usage of U-Boot basically
don't have enough RAM to accommodate relocation of U-Boot so we
keep code in flash and use as much of RAM as possible for more
interesting things.

This commit basically reverts two commits:
1. cf628f772ef2 ("arc: arcv1: Disable master/slave check")
2. 6cba327bd96f ("arcv2: Halt non-master cores")
With mentioned commits in-place we experience more trouble than
benefits. In case of SMP Linux kernel this is really required as
we have all the cores running from the very beginning and then we
need to allow master core to do some preparatory work while slaves
are not getting in the way.
In case of U-Boot we:
a) Don't really run more than 1 core in parallel
b) We may use whatever core for that

U-Boot is a bit special piese of software because it is being
only executed once on power-on as compared to operating system
for example. That's why we don't care much about performance
optimizations instead we're more concerned about size. And up-to-date
compilers might produce much smaller code compared to
performance-optimized routines copy-pasted from the Linux kernel.
Here's an example:
------------------------------->8--------------------------
--- size_asm_strings.txt
+++ size_c_strings.txt
@@ -1,2 +1,2 @@
text data bss dec hex filename

ARC Elf32 tools by default enable usage of so-called "small data"
section or in ARC PRM parlance "GP-relative addressing".
The idea is to put up to 2kB of frequently used data into a separate
location and use indirect addressing via dedicated core register (GP).
Where GP is used as a base for offset calculation.
And so if "-msdata" toggle is passed to the compiler either explicitly
or implicitly (that's Elf32 tools case) it will try to put some data
in that "small data" area and then to calculate real offset from GP
to be encoded in instructions we need to know the base value which
liker gets from __SDATA_BEGIN__ symbol in hte linker script.
In U-Boot we don't use that feature and linker script doesn't define
__SDATA_BEGIN__ which gives us the following linkage error if we use
Elf32 tools:
------------------------->8-------------------
LD u-boot
.../bin/arc-elf32-ld.bfd: Error: Linker symbol __SDATA_BEGIN__ not found
.../bin/arc-elf32-ld.bfd: final link failed: Bad value
------------------------->8-------------------
Note if uClibc or glibc tools are used that problem doesn't happen
because usage of "small data section" is disabled by default as not very
useful for bigger executables. Moreover GP is just another name of r26
so we're loosing 1 core register which is not used by the compiler as a
generic register with "-msdata".

This is useful to make sure no stale data exists in caches after bootloaders.
The worst thing could be some lines of cache were locked in a bootloader
for example during DDR recalibration and never unlocked. This may lead
to really unpredictable issues later down the line.
