These are all the files which use the API incorrectly but did not get
built using MAKEALL -a powerpc|arm. I have no compiler for them, but
the remaining issues should be far less than without this patch.
Any outstanding issues are left to the maintainers of boards that use
these drivers.

Adapt linking of standalone applications to pass through
endianess options to LD.
Build tested with:
- ELDK 4 mips_4KC- and mips4KCle
- Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2011.03-93
With this patch all 26 MIPS boards can be compiled now in one step by
running "MAKEALL -a mips".

Jz4740 is a multimedia application processor targeting for mobile
devices like e-Dictionary, eBook, portable media player (PMP) and
GPS navigator. Jz4740 is powered by Ingenic 360 MHz XBurst CPU core
(JzRISC), in which RISC/SIMD/DSP hybrid instruction set architecture
provides high integration, high performance and low power consumption.
JzRISC incorporated in Jz4740 is the advanced and power-efficient
32-bit RISC core, compatible with MIPS32, with 16K I-Cache and 16K
D-Cache, and can operate at speeds up to 400 MHz.
On-chip modules such as LCD controller, embedded audio codec, multi-
channel SAR-ADC, AC97/I2S controller and camera I/F offer a rich
suite of peripherals for multimedia application. NAND controller
(SLC/MLC), USB (host 1.1 and device 2.0), UART, I2C, SPI, etc. are
also available.
For more info about Ingenic XBurst Jz4740:
http://en.ingenic.cn/eng/
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Ingenic
This patch introduces XBurst CPU support in U-Boot. It's compatible
with MIPS32, but requires a bit different cache maintenance, timer
routines, and boot mechanism using USB boot tool, so XBurst support
can go into a separate new home, cpu/xburst/.

Allow redirection of console output prior to console initialisation to a
temporary buffer.
To enable this functionality, the board (or arch) must define:
- CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER - Enable pre-console buffer
- CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR - Base address of pre-console buffer
- CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ - Size of pre-console buffer (in bytes)
The pre-console buffer will buffer the last CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ bytes
Any earlier characters are silently dropped.

Current timer routines (arch/mips/lib/timer.c) are implemented assuming
that MIPS32 coprocessor (CP0) resources, Counter and Compare registers
in this case, are available. But this doesn't always work.
We need to make sure that all MIPS-based systems don't necessarily use
CP0 counter/compare registers as time keeping resources. And some MIPS
variant processors might come with different hardware specs with genuine
MIPS32 CP0 registers.
With this change, each $(CPU)/ directory can have its own timer code.

All current CPUs and SoCs are based on MIPS32 arch. The complete
code resides in the global arch/mips/cpu directory. This is not
suitable if other MIPS architectures like MIPS64 or Octeon should
be supported in the future.
To achieve this the current CPU code is moved to its own mips32
subdirectory. All MIPS32 boards have to use mips32 as config switch
in board.cfg.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE has always been just a bad workarond for not
being able to use "sizeof(struct global_data)" in assembler files.
Recent experience has shown that manual synchronization is not
reliable enough. This patch renames CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE into
GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE which gets automatically generated by the
asm-offsets tool. In the result, all definitions of this value can be
deleted from the board config files. We have to make sure that all
files that reference such data include the new <asm-offsets.h> file.
No other changes have been done yet, but it is obvious that similar
changes / simplifications can be done for other, related macro
definitions as well.

Motivation:
* Old environment code used a pessimizing implementation:
- variable lookup used linear search => slow
- changed/added variables were added at the end, i. e. most
frequently used variables had the slowest access times => slow
- each setenv() would calculate the CRC32 checksum over the whole
environment block => slow
* "redundant" envrionment was locked down to two copies
* No easy way to implement features like "reset to factory defaults",
or to select one out of several pre-defined (previously saved) sets
of environment settings ("profiles")
* No easy way to import or export environment settings
======================================================================
API Changes:
- Variable names starting with '#' are no longer allowed
I didn't find any such variable names being used; it is highly
recommended to follow standard conventions and start variable names
with an alphanumeric character
- "printenv" will now print a backslash at the end of all but the last
lines of a multi-line variable value.
Multi-line variables have never been formally defined, allthough
there is no reason not to use them. Now we define rules how to deal
with them, allowing for import and export.
- Function forceenv() and the related code in saveenv() was removed.
At the moment this is causing build problems for the only user of
this code (schmoogie - which has no entry in MAINTAINERS); may be
fixed later by implementing the "env set -f" feature.
Inconsistencies:
- "printenv" will '\\'-escape the '\n' in multi-line variables, while
"printenv var" will not do that.
======================================================================
Advantages:
- "printenv" output much better readable (sorted)
- faster!
- extendable (additional variable properties can be added)
- new, powerful features like "factory reset" or easy switching
between several different environment settings ("profiles")
Disadvantages:
- Image size grows by typically 5...7 KiB (might shrink a bit again on
systems with redundant environment with a following patch series)
======================================================================
Implemented:
- env command with subcommands:
- env print [arg ...]
same as "printenv": print environment
- env set [-f] name [arg ...]
same as "setenv": set (and delete) environment variables
["-f" - force setting even for read-only variables - not
implemented yet.]
- end delete [-f] name
not implemented yet
["-f" - force delete even for read-only variables]
- env save
same as "saveenv": save environment
- env export [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
export internal representation (hash table) in formats usable for
persistent storage or processing:
-t: export as text format; if size is given, data will be
padded with '\0' bytes; if not, one terminating '\0'
will be added (which is included in the "filesize"
setting so you can for exmple copy this to flash and
keep the termination).
-b: export as binary format (name=value pairs separated by
'\0', list end marked by double "\0\0")
-c: export as checksum protected environment format as
used for example by "saveenv" command
addr: memory address where environment gets stored
size: size of output buffer
With "-c" and size is NOT given, then the export command will
format the data as currently used for the persistent storage,
i. e. it will use CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE as output block size and
prepend a valid CRC32 checksum and, in case of resundant
environment, a "current" redundancy flag. If size is given, this
value will be used instead of CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE; again, CRC32
checksum and redundancy flag will be inserted.
With "-b" and "-t", always only the real data (including a
terminating '\0' byte) will be written; here the optional size
argument will be used to make sure not to overflow the user
provided buffer; the command will abort if the size is not
sufficient. Any remainign space will be '\0' padded.
On successful return, the variable "filesize" will be set.
Note that filesize includes the trailing/terminating '\0'
byte(s).
Usage szenario: create a text snapshot/backup of the current
settings:
=> env export -t 100000
=> era ${backup_addr} +${filesize}
=> cp.b 100000 ${backup_addr} ${filesize}
Re-import this snapshot, deleting all other settings:
=> env import -d -t ${backup_addr}
- env import [-d] [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
import external format (text or binary) into hash table,
optionally deleting existing values:
-d: delete existing environment before importing;
otherwise overwrite / append to existion definitions
-t: assume text format; either "size" must be given or the
text data must be '\0' terminated
-b: assume binary format ('\0' separated, "\0\0" terminated)
-c: assume checksum protected environment format
addr: memory address to read from
size: length of input data; if missing, proper '\0'
termination is mandatory
- env default -f
reset default environment: drop all environment settings and load
default environment
- env ask name [message] [size]
same as "askenv": ask for environment variable
- env edit name
same as "editenv": edit environment variable
- env run
same as "run": run commands in an environment variable
======================================================================
TODO:
- drop default env as implemented now; provide a text file based
initialization instead (eventually using several text files to
incrementally build it from common blocks) and a tool to convert it
into a binary blob / object file.
- It would be nice if we could add wildcard support for environment
variables; this is needed for variable name auto-completion,
but it would also be nice to be able to say "printenv ip*" or
"printenv *addr*"
- Some boards don't link any more due to the grown code size:

So far, getenv() would work before relocation is most cases, even
though it was not intended to be used that way. When switching to a
hash table based implementation, this would break a number of boards.
For convenience, we make getenv() check if it's running before
relocation and, if so, use getenv_f() internally.
Note that this is limited to simple cases, as we use a small static
buffer (32 bytes) in the global data for this purpose.
For this reason, it is also not a good idea to convert all current
uses of getenv_f() into getenv() - some of the existing use cases need
to be able to deal with longer variable values, so getenv_f() is still
needed and recommended for use before relocation.

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) {
