x86 has always used relocation offset in the opposite sense to the ELF
standard - Fix this

git mergetool has a nasty habit of mangling umlats - fix ones that have

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.
Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

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'
|
|
Provides a small speed increase and prepares for fully relocatable image.
Downside is the TEXT_BASE, bss, load address etc must ALL be aligned on a
a 4-byte boundary which is not such a terrible restriction as everything
is already 4-byte aligned anyway

Tidy up the linker script and discard some sections to save space
|
|
Create more generic names for the symbols exported from the linker script
|
|
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
|
|
This patch removes the completely unused CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
feature from U-Boot. It has only been implemented for PPC4xx and was not
used at all. So let's remove it and make the code smaller and cleaner.

Commit 54841ab50c20d6fa6c9cc3eb826989da3a22d934 made the argv parameter
to do_go_exec() const but did not allow for the fact that argv[-1] is
set to point to the global data structure and relies on argv being non-
const.
With this patch, do_go_exec() creates a new copy of the argv array with
an extra element to store global data pointer rather than simply
clobbering an arbitrary memory location.

While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function. This
function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
vs. getgrent_r, etc.).
Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.
To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

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) {
...

It is possibly to setup x86 boards to use non-PC/AT configurations. For
example, the sc520 is an x86 CPU with PC/AT and non-PC/AT peripherals.
This function allows the board to set itself up for maximum PC/AT
compatibility just before booting the Linux kernel (the Linux kernel
'just works' if everything is PC/AT compliant)

In order to locate the 16-bit BIOS code, we need to know the reloaction
offset.

This was broken a long time ago by a49864593e083a5d0779fb9ca98e5a0f2053183d
which munged the NIOS and x86 do_go_exec()

Also move lib_$ARCH/config.mk to arch/$ARCH/config.mk
This change is intended to clean up the top-level directory structure
and more closely mimic Linux's directory organization.
