All vector instructions on powerpc mpc85xx must not be used because U-Boot
does not enable them. Usage cause random crashes. SPE vector instructions
are already disabled by compiler flags, so disable also AltiVec and VSX
vector instructions.
Linux kernel disables AltiVec and VSX instructions too.

Specifying -mspe=no also disables usage of SPE instructions. It is
documented in "[PATCH,rs6000] make -mno-spe work as expected" email:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg00311.html
So replace -mspe=yes by -mspe=no, so make it clear that u-boot has to be
compiled without SPE instructions.
Linux kernel contains following Makefile code to achieve it:
# No SPE instruction when building kernel
# (We use all available options to help semi-broken compilers)
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-mno-spe)
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-mspe=no)
Do same for U-Boot.

When gcc's default cpu (selected by --with-cpu= during gcc's configure
phase) does not match target U-Boot board cpu then U-Boot binary does not
have to be compiled correctly. Lot of distributions sets gcc's default cpu
to generic powerpc variant which works fine.
U-Boot already pass -Wa,-me500 flag to gcc which instructs GNU AS to accept
e500 specific instructions when processing assembler source files (.S).
This affects also assembly files generated by gcc from C source files. And
because gcc for generic powerpc cpu puts '.machine ppc' at the beginning of
the generated assembly file, it basically overwrites -me500 flag by which
was GNU AS invoked (from U-boot build system).
It started to be an issue since binutils 2.38 which does not keep enabled
extra functional units selected by previous cpu. Hence issuing directive
'.machine ppc' (generated by gcc for generic powerpc) after '.machine e500'
(specifying at command line) disables usage of e500 specific instructions.
And compiling arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/tlb.c code throws following
assembler errors:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:127: Error: unrecognized opcode: `tlbre'
{standard input}:418: Error: unrecognized opcode: `tlbre'
{standard input}:821: Error: unrecognized opcode: `msync'
{standard input}:821: Error: unrecognized opcode: `tlbwe'
{standard input}:884: Error: unrecognized opcode: `tlbsx'
This issue was already hit by Debian people and is reported in bug tracker:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1003490
Calling gcc with -mcpu=8540 flag fixes this issue because -mcpu=8540 tells
gcc to compile code for e500 core/cpu (overwriting gcc's default cpu) and
does not put '.machine ppc' directive into assembly anymore.
Also if gcc is invoked with -mcpu=8540 then it pass -me500 flag to GNU AS.
So it is unnecessary to manually specify -Wa,-me500 flag because it is
implicitly added.
Fix this issue properly by specifying correct -mcpu compiler flag for all
supported powerpc cores in U-Boot mpc85xx platform, which are: e500v1,
e500v2, e500mc, e5500 and e6500. For specifying e500v1 and e500v2 cores,
gcc has unintuitive -mcpu=8540 and -mcpu=8548 flag names, for other cores
-mcpu matches core name.
The only difference between gcc's -mcpu=8540 and -mcpu=8548 flags is
support for double precision floating point SPE instructions. As U-Boot
does not use floating point, it is fine to use -mcpu=8540 for both e500v1
and e500v2 cores. Moreover gcc 9 completely removed e500 floating point
support, so since gcc 9 -mcpu=8548 is just alias to -mcpu=8540.
Note that U-Boot's CONFIG_E500 option is set also for other cpus, not only
for e500v1 and e500v2. So do not check for CONFIG_E500 and rather set e500
as last fallback value when no other mpc85xx cpu matches.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again. On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.
This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.
Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l
Before: After: Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555 15205 -26%
qong 31692 14490 -54%
As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.

The -fPIC flag belongs with -mrelocatable, move it there.
Also change -fPIC to -fpic as this produces smaller
binaries.
However, currently -mrelocatable promotes -fpic to -fPIC, a
fix for this is in upcoming gcc 4.6 or you can apply this small

The switch from archive libraries to partial linking has introduced a
number of problems, that are non-trivial to solve. For example, it is
no longer possible to include individual object files in the linker
script as we did before for example in the case of boards with
embedded environment to fill up the gap caused by the need to align
the environment on flash erase block boundaries.
The best (but unfortunately not easiest) approach to address this
problem is to enable -ffunction-sections (and -fdata-sections) so
we can again (and even in much finer granularity) place certain code
where we want it. When doing this step, it seems only consequent to
also add --gc-sections which has the added benefit of reducing the
memory footprint of the U-Boot image (both in flash and in RAM).
Unfortunately, this requires changes to a lot of linker scripts.

As we try to get rid of board specific config.mk files we must
provide a way for board specific settings of the LDSCRIPT variable
(path to the linker script) where needed.
We now implement the following hierarchy:
- Highest priority has a "#define CONFIG_SYS_LDCONFIG" in the board
config file.
- If CONFIG_SYS_LDCONFIG is not set, and the system is booting from
NAND (CONFIG_NAND_SPL is set), then a board specific linker
script board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds gets used.
- If we are not booting from NAND, we test if a processor specific
linker script arch/powerpc/cpu/$(CPU)/u-boot.lds exists; if so we
use that.
- As default, arch/powerpc/config.mk gets used.

better match the Linux directory structure.
Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in

is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
