u-boot.bin can be loaded at any 4-byte aligned memory location and directly
'jumped' to using the 'go' command using the load address as the start
address. Doing so performs a 'warm boot' which skips memory initialisation
and other low-level initialisations, relocates U-Boot to upper memory and
starts U-Boot in RAM as per normal 'cold boot'
|

|
By reserving space for the Global Data immediately below the stack during
assembly level initialisation, the C declaration of the static global data
can be removed, along with the 'RAM Bootstrap' function. This results in
cleaner code, and the ability to pass boot-up flags from assembler into C

By using another register, reduce code size by one instruction
|
|
%ebx will hold low-level boot flags and must be preserved
|
|
Using %ebp as a return pointer prevents creating 'load anywhere' images
|
|
To allow for 'load anywhere' images, the %ebp return pointer 'hack' must
be removed, so we cannot have two 'calls' to get_mem_size
|
|
Progress indication is not relocation friendly so remove it in
preperation for full relocatability support
|

Change to:
- reparam=3
- no-from-pointer
- no-stack-protector
- preferred-stack-boundary=2
- no-top-level-reorder
These options make the code a little smaller and faster

Perform some basic code cleanups of the x86 files

Linux has C macros and code to load the GTD after switching to Protected
Mode. Using these greatly simplifies the assembler code

Commit 077e1958ca4afe12d88043b123ded058c51b89f7 broke the ability of the
x86 port to boot from a cold-reset by removing the initial IDT. Re-
instate the initial IDT to allow cold-booting of x86 boards

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {

Currently, the GDT is either located in FLASH or in the non-relocated
U-Boot image in RAM. Both of these locations are unsafe as those
locations can be erased during a U-Boot update. Move the GDT into the
highest available memory location and relocate U-Boot to just below it

Add a parameter to the 32-bit entry to indicate if entry is from Real
Mode or not. If entry is from Real Mode, execute the destructive 'sizer'
routine to determine memory size as we are booting cold and running in
Flash. If not entering from Real Mode, we are executing a U-Boot image
from RAM and therefore the memory size is already known (and running
'sizer' will destroy the running image)
There are now two 32-bit entry points. The first is the 'in RAM' entry
point which exists at the start of the U-Boot binary image. As such,
you can load u-boot.bin in RAM and jump directly to the load address
without needing to calculate any offsets. The second entry point is
used by the real-to-protected mode switch
This patch also changes TEXT_BASE to 0x6000000 (in RAM). You can load
the resulting image at 0x6000000 and simple go 0x6000000 from the u-boot
prompt
Hopefully a later patch will completely elliminate any dependency on
TEXT_BASE like a relocatable linux kernel (perfect world)

This patch allows the low-level assembler boot-strap to obtain the RAM
size without calling the destructive 'sizer' routine. This allows
boot-strapping from a U-Boot image loaded in RAM

There is an error in how the assembler version of the sc520 memory size
reporting code works. As a result, it will only ever report at most the
size of one bank of RAM

Shamelessly steal the Linux x86 crash handling code and shove it into
U-Boot (cool - it fits). Be sure to include suitable attribution to
