On my A10 OlinuxIno Lime I noticed a huge (5+ seconds) delay coming from
console_init_r. This turns out to be caused by the preconsole buffer flushing
to the cfb_console. The Lime only has a 16 bit memory bus and that is already
heavy used to scan out the 1920x1080 framebuffer.
The problem is that print_pre_console_buffer() was printing the buffer once
character at a time and the cfb_console code then ends up doing a cache-flush
for touched display lines for each character.
This commit fixes this by first building a 0 terminated buffer and then
printing it in one puts() call, avoiding unnecessary cache flushes.
This changes the time for the flush from 5+ seconds to not noticable.
The downside of this approach is that the pre-console buffer needs to fit
on the stack, this is not that much to ask since we are talking about plain
text here. This commit also adjusts the sunxi CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ to
actually fit on the stack. Sunxi currently is the only user of the pre-console
code so no other boards need to be adjusted.

this is an atempt to make the export of functions typesafe.
I replaced the jumptable void ** by a struct (jt_funcs) with function pointers.
The EXPORT_FUNC macro now has 3 fixed parameters and one
variadic parameter
The first is the name of the exported function,
the rest of the parameters are used to format a functionpointer
in the jumptable,
the EXPORT_FUNC macros are expanded three times,
1. to declare the members of the struct
2. to initialize the structmember pointers
3. to call the functions in stubs.c

(resending to the list since my tweaks are not quite trivial)
Currently the pre-console buffer can accumulate early log messages
and flush them to the serial console as soon as it becomes available.
This patch just adds one more pre-console buffer flushing point and
does all the same for the other consoles too. This is particularly
useful for the vga/hdmi/lcd console, where we can see all the older
messages now (except for the log messages from SPL).
Naturally, we don't want to get an extra copy of the log messages
on the serial console again at the second flushing point, so the
serial console has to be explicitly filtered out.

Commit 709ea54 made a subtle change to the way the U-Boot API jump table
is set up. So at present putc(), getc(), tstc() and puts() do not work
correctly from functions that use the U-Boot API.
Previously these were set to the stdio functions, but these now take a
parameter specifying which stdio device to use. Instead, we should change
them to use the global functions which do not have a parameter.
This is a slight change in behaviour. The functions will now output to
all selected stdio devices - for example putc() will output a character to
all devices selected by stdout. However in most cases there is only one,
and it isn't necessarily incorrect behaviour anyway.
The API version is not changed since it is compatible with what was there
before.

This is not supported properly on sandbox, and interferes with running

For sandbox we have a fallback console which is used very early in
U-Boot, before serial drivers are available. Rather than try to guess
when to switch to the real console, add a flag so we can be sure. This
makes sure that sandbox can always output a panic() message, for example,
and avoids silent failure (which is very annoying in sandbox).
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
If the console is not present, we try to reduce overhead by stopping any
output in vprintf(), before it gets to putc(). This is of dubious merit
in general, but in the case of sandbox it is incorrect since we have a
fallback console which reports errors very early in U-Boot. If this is
defeated U-Boot can hang or exit with no indication of what is wrong.
Remove the optimisation for sandbox.

At present stdio device functions do not get any clue as to which stdio
device is being acted on. Some implementations go to great lengths to work
around this, such as defining a whole separate set of functions for each
possible device.
For driver model we need to associate a stdio_dev with a device. It doesn't
seem possible to continue with this work-around approach.
Instead, add a stdio_dev pointer to each of the stdio member functions.
Note: The serial drivers have the same problem, but it is not strictly
necessary to fix that to get driver model running. Also, if we convert
serial over to driver model the problem will go away.
Code size increases by 244 bytes for Thumb2 and 428 for PowerPC.

With sandbox, errors and problems may be reported before console_init_f()
is executed. For example, an argument may not parse correctly or U-Boot may

This patch adds support for console output before the console is inited.
The main purpose of this is to deal with a very early panic() which would
otherwise cause a silent hang.
A new board_pre_console_putc() function is added to the board API. If
provided by the board it will be called in the event of console output
before the console is ready. This function should turn on all UARTs and
spray the character out if it possibly can.
The feature is controlled by a new CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_PUTC option.

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.
There are some locations in the code which anticipate printf() being called
before the console is ready by squelching printf() on gd->have_console.
Move this squelching into printf(), vprintf(), puts() and putc(). Also
make tstc() and getc() return 0 if console is not yet initialised

If a board uses cfb_console driver and splash image
and also defines CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE, the user is
locked out even if "silent" is not set. It is not
possible to get any output, neither on vga console
device nor on serial console after redirecting the
output to the serial console, since the GD_FLG_SILENT
flag remains set.
Fix the problem by redirecting the output from frame
buffer to serial console if splashimage is used.
Only suppress the output if "silent" environment
variable was set and don't set the GD_FLG_SILENT
flag arbitrarily.

So far the console API uses the following naming convention:
======Extract======
typedef struct device_t;
int device_register (device_t * dev);
int devices_init (void);
int device_deregister(char *devname);
struct list_head* device_get_list(void);
device_t* device_get_by_name(char* name);
device_t* device_clone(device_t *dev);
=======
which is too generic and confusing.
Instead of using device_XX and device_t we change this
into stdio_XX and stdio_dev
This will also allow to add later a generic device mechanism in order
to have support for multiple devices and driver instances.

Modifications to support console multiplexing. This is controlled using
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_MUX in the board configuration file.
This allows a user to specify multiple console devices in the environment
with a command like this: setenv stdin serial,nc. As a result, the user can
enter text on both the serial and netconsole interfaces.
All devices - stdin, stdout and stderr - can be set in this manner.
1) common/iomux.c and include/iomux.h contain the environment setting
implementation.
2) doc/README.iomux contains a somewhat more detailed description.
3) The implementation in (1) is called from common/cmd_nvedit.c to
handle setenv and from common/console.c to handle initialization of
input/output devices at boot time.
4) common/console.c also contains the code needed to poll multiple console
devices for input and send output to all devices registered for output.
5) include/common.h includes iomux.h and common/Makefile generates iomux.o
when CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_MUX is set.

- show PCI clock frequency on MPC8260 systems
- add FCC_PSMR_RMII flag for HiP7 processors
- in do_jffs2_fsload(), take load address from load_addr if not set
explicit, update load_addr otherwise
- replaced printf by putc/puts when no formatting is needed
(smaller code size, faster execution)
ARM memory layout fixes: the abort-stack is now set up in the
correct RAM area, and the BSS is zeroed out as it should be.
Furthermore, the magic variables 'armboot_end' and 'armboot_end_data'
of the linker scripts are replaced by '__bss_start' and '_end',
resp., which is a further step to eliminate unnecessary differences
between the implementation of the CPU architectures.
- Added Motorola CPU 8540/8560 support (cpu/85xx)
- Added Motorola MPC8540ADS board support (board/mpc8540ads)
