2018-08-03armv8: Reduce exception handling codeAndre Przywara
The arm64 exception handling code is quite big, mostly due to architectural alignment requirements. Each exception entry spans 32 instructions, which sounds generous, but is too small to fit all of the save/branch/restore code in there. So at the moment we use only four instructions, branching into shared save and restore routines. To not leave the space for those remaining 28 instructions wasted, let's split the save and restore routines and stuff them into the gaps. This saves about 250 bytes of code, which is helpful for those tight SPLs. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com>
2018-05-07SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel styleTom Rini
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. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>
2017-12-04armv8: shrink exception table codeAndre Przywara
In the moment our exception entry code needs 34 instructions, so we can't use put it directly into the table entry, which offers "only" 32 instructions there. Right now we just put an unconditional branch there, then use a macro to place the 34 instructions *per entry* after that. That effectivly doubles the size of our exception table, which is quite a waste, given that we use it mostly for debugging purposes. Since the register saving part is actually identical, let's just convert that macro into a function, and "bl" into it directly from the exception slot, of course after having saved at least the original LR. This saves us about 950 bytes of code, which is quite a relief for some tight SPLs, in particular the 64-bit Allwinner ones. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com>
2016-03-15arm64: Allow exceptions to returnAlexander Graf
Our current arm64 exception handlers all panic and never return to the exception triggering code. But if any handler wanted to continue execution after fixups, it would need help from the exception handling code to restore all registers. This patch implements that help. With this code, exception handlers on aarch64 can successfully return to the place the exception happened (or somewhere else if they modify elr). Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Various files are needlessly rebuilt every time due to the version and build time changing. As version.h is not actually needed, remove the include.
