2016-06-02arm: include: Import unified.h from Linux kernelMarek Vasut
Import unified.h from Linux kernel 4.4.6 , commit 0d1912303e54ed1b2a371be0bba51c384dd57326 . This header file contains macros used in libgcc functions in Linux kernel on ARM and will be needed for the libgcc sync. Since unified.h defines the W(instr) macro, we must drop this from the macro from memcpy.S , otherwise this triggers a warning about symbol redefinition. In order to keep the changes to unified.h to the minimum, tweak arch/arm/lib/Makefile such that it defines the CONFIG_ARM_ASM_UNIFIED macro, which places .syntax unified into all of the assembler files. This is mandatory. Moreover, for Thumb2 build, define CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL macro if and only if Thumb2 build is enabled. This macro is checked by unified.h and toggles between ARM and Thumb2 variant of the instructions in the assembler source files. Finally, this patch defines __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=N macro based on the new CONFIG_SYS_ARM_ARCH Kconfig option. This macro selects between more optimal and more dense codepaths which work on armv5 and newer and less optimal codepaths which work on armv4 and possible armv3m. Tegra2 needs the same special handling as it does in arch/arm/Makefile to cater for the arm720t boot core.

2015-01-09arm: build arch memset/memcpy in Thumb2 modeStefan Agner
Resynchronize memcpy/memset with kernel 3.17 and build them in Thumb2 mode (unified syntax). Those assembler files can be built and linked in ARM mode too, however when calling them from Thumb2 built code, the stack got corrupted and the copy did not succeed (the exact details have not been traced back). However, the Linux kernel builds those files in Thumb2 mode. Hence U-Boot should build them in Thumb2 mode too when CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD is set. To build the files without warning, some assembler instructions had to be replaced with their UAL compliant variant (thanks Jeroen for this input). To build the file in Thumb2 mode the implicit-it=always option need to be set to generate Thumb2 compliant IT instructions where needed. We add this option to the general AFLAGS when building for Thumb2. Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Tested-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch>
2011-04-27arm: Use optimized memcpy and memset from linuxMatthias Weisser
Using optimized versions of memset and memcpy from linux brings a quite noticeable speed (x2 or better) improvement for these two functions.
