2015-11-18board: axs10x switch serial port and Ethernet to driver modelAlexey Brodkin
With this change Synopsys DesignWare SDP board is switched to driver model for both serial port (serial_dw) and Ethernet (Designware GMAC). This simplifies include/configs/axs101.h and allows for reuse of Linux's Device Tree description. For simplicity Linux's .dts files are not blindly copied but only very few extracts of them are really used (those that are supported in U-Boot at the moment).

2015-11-10Various Makefiles: Add SPDX-License-Identifier tagsTom Rini
After consulting with some of the SPDX team, the conclusion is that Makefiles are worth adding SPDX-License-Identifier tags too, and most of ours have one. This adds tags to ones that lack them and converts a few that had full (or in one case, very partial) license blobs into the equivalent tag.

2015-07-01arc: significant cache reworkAlexey Brodkin
[1] Align cache management functions to those in Linux kernel. I.e.: a) Use the same functions for all cache ops (D$ Inv/Flush) b) Split cache ops in 3 sub-functions: "before", "lineloop" and "after". That way we may re-use "before" and "after" functions for region and full cache ops. [2] Implement full-functional L2 (SLC) management. Before SLC was simply disabled early on boot. It's also possible to enable or disable L2 cache from config utility. [3] Disable/enable corresponding caches early on boot. So if U-Boot is configured to use caches they will be used at all times (this is useful in partucular for speed-up of relocation). Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>
2015-07-01arc: implement slave cores kick-start for Linux kernelAlexey Brodkin
With new SMP-enabled CPUs with ARC HS38 cores and corresponding support in Linux kernel it's required to add basic SMP support in U-Boot. Currently we assume the one and only core starts execution after power-on. So most of things in U-Boot is handled in UP mode. But when U-Boot is used for loading and starting Linux kernel right before jumping to kernel's entry point U-Boot: [1] Sets all slave cores to jump to the same address [kernel's entry point] [2] Really starts all slav cores In ARC's implemetation of SMP in Linux kernel all cores are supposed to run the same start-up code. But only core with ID 0 (master core) processes further while others are looping waiting for master core to complete some initialization. That means it's safe to un-pause slave cores and let them execute kernel - they will wait for master anyway.

2015-06-25Move default y configs out of arch/board KconfigJoe Hershberger
Some archs/boards specify their own default by pre-defining the config which causes the Kconfig system to mix up the order of the configs in the defconfigs... This will cause merge pain if allowed to proliferate. Remove the configs that behave this way from the archs.

The bin files are prefixed with arc(eb)-buildroot-linux- for earlier releases, but with arc(eb)-snps-linux- for the latest releases.

2015-04-10arc: make sure _start is in the beginning of .text sectionAlexey Brodkin
This is important to have entry point in the beginning of .text section because it allows simple loading and execution of U-Boot. For example pre-bootloader loads U-Boot in memory starting from offset 0x81000000 and then just jumps to the same address. Otherwise pre-bootloader would need to find-out where entry-point is. In its turn if it deals with binary image of U-Boot there's no way for pre-bootloader to get required value. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>

This change adds functions required for controlling SLC: * slc_enable/disable * slc_flush/invalidate For now we just disable SLC to escape DMA coherency issues until either: * SLC flush/invalidate is supported in DMA APIin U-Boot * hardware DMA coherency is implemented (that might be board specific so probably we'll need to have a separate Kconfig option for controlling SLC explicitly) Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com>

[2] Add dummy entry to target list to make sure target type is always mentioned in defconfig.

2015-04-03arc: clean-up init procedureAlexey Brodkin
Intention behind this work was elimination of as much assembly-written code as it is possible. In case of ARC we already have relocation fix-up implemented in C so why don't we use C for U-Boot copying, .bss zeroing etc. It turned out x86 uses pretty similar approach so we re-used parts of code in "board_f.c" initially implemented for x86. Now assembly usage during init is limited to stack- and frame-pointer setup before and after relocation. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com> Cc: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2015-04-03arc: move low-level interrupt and exception handlers in a separate fileAlexey Brodkin

2015-04-03arc: cache - build invalidate_icache_all() and invalidate_dcache_all()Alexey Brodkin
always Make both invalidate_icache_all() and invalidate_dcache_all() available even if U-Boot is configured with CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF and/or CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF. This is useful because configuration of U-Boot may not match actual hardware features. Real board may have cache(s) but for some reason we may want to run U-Boot with cache(s) disabled (for example if some peripherals work improperly with existing drivers if data cache is enabled). So board may start with cache(s) enabled (that's the case for ARC cores with built-in caches) but early in U-Boot we disable cache(s) and make sure all contents of data cache gets flushed in RAM.

2015-02-13arc: introduce U-Boot port for ARCv2 ISAAlexey Brodkin
ARC HS and ARC EM are new cores based on ARCv2 ISA which is binary incompatible with ISAv1 (AKA ARCompact). Significant difference between ISAv2 and v1 is implementation of interrupt vector table. In v1 it is implemented in the same way as on many other architectures - as a special location where user may put whether code executed in place (if machine word of space is enough) or jump to a full-scale interrupt handler. In v2 interrupt table is just an array of adresses of real interrupt handlers. That requires a separate section for IVT that is not encoded as code by assembler. This change adds support for following cores: * ARC EM6 (simple 32-bit microcontroller without MMU) * ARC HS36 (advanced 32-bit microcontroller without MMU) * ARC HS38 (advanced 32-bit microcontroller with MMU) As a part of ARC HS38 new version of MMU (v4) was introduced.

2015-02-09arc: build libgcc in U-BootAlexey Brodkin
This way we may have very limited set of functions implemented so we save some space. Also it allows us to build U-Boot for any ARC core with the same one toolchain because we don't rely on pre-built libgcc. For example: * we may use little-endian toolchain but build U-Boot for ether endianess * we may use non-multilibbed uClibc toolchain but build U-Boot for whatever ARC CPU flavour that current GCC supports Private libgcc built from generic C implementation contributes only 144 bytes to .text section so we don't see significant degradation of size: --->8--- $ arc-linux-size u-boot.libgcc-prebuilt text data bss dec hex filename 222217 24912 214820 461949 70c7d u-boot.libgcc-prebuilt $ arc-linux-size u-boot.libgcc-private text data bss dec hex filename 222361 24912 214820 462093 70d0d u-boot.libgcc-private --->8--- Also I don't notice visible performance degradation compared to pre-built libgcc (where at least "*div*" functions are had-written in assembly) on typical operations of downloading 10Mb uImage over TFTP and bootm.

Some cache operations ({i|d}cache_{enable|disable|status} or flush_dcache_all) are built and used even if CONFIG_SYS_{I|D}CACHE_OFF is set. This is required for force disable of caches on early boot. What if something was executed before U-boot and enabled caches (low-level bootloaders, previously run kernel etc.)? But if CPU doesn't really have caches any attempt to access cache-related AUX registers triggers instruction error exception. So for convenience we'll try to avoid exceptions by checking if CPU actually has caches (we check separately data and instruction cache existence) at all.

2015-01-09arc: introduce "mdbtrick" targetAlexey Brodkin
MetaWare debugger (MDB) is still used as a primary tool for interaction with target via JTAG. Moreover some very advanced features are not yet implemented in GDB for ARC (and not sure if they will be implemnted sometime soon given complexity and rare need for those features for common user). So if we're talking about development process when U-Boot is loaded in target memory not by low-level boot-loader but manually through JTAG chances are high developer uses MDB for it. But MDB doesn't support PIE (position-independent executable) - it will refuse to even start - that means no chance to load elf contents on target. Then the only way to load U-Boot in MDB is to fake it by: 1. Reset PIE flag in ELF header This is simpe - on attempt to open elf MDB checks header and if it doesn't match its expectation refuces to use provided elf. 2. Strip all debug information from elf If (1) is done then MDB will open elf but on parsing of elf's debug info it will refuse to process due to debug info it cannot understand (symbols with PIE relocation). Even though it could be done manually (I got it documented quite a while ago here http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ARCNotes) having this automated way is very convenient. User may build U-Boot that will be loaded on target via MDB saying "make mdbtrick". Then if we now apply the manipulation MDB will happily start and will load all required sections into the target. Indeed there will be no source-level debug info available. But still MDB will do its work on showing disassembly, global symbols, registers, accessing low-level debug facilities etc. As a summary - this is a pretty dirty hack but it simplifies life a lot for us ARc developers.
