There is currently a problem that U-Boot can not work on ARMv4
because assembly imlementations of memcpy() and some other functions
use "bx lr" instruction that is not available on ARMv4 ("mov pc, lr"
should be used instead).
A working preprocessor-based solution to this problem is found in
arch/arm/lib/relocate.S. Move it to the "ret" macro in
arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h and change all "bx lr" code
to "ret lr" in functions that may run on ARMv4. Linux source code
deals with this problem in the same manner.

The generic ARM relocate_code function was using its own function entry
point as a relocation base, and it was obtaining that address by using
the "adr" instruction on that entry point label.
However that label is not just an ordinary label, instead we explicitly
mark it as a function start address. Normally that doesn't change much
(other than for debugging), but when assembled in Thumb mode, newer
versions of the GNU assembler prepare everything for this address being
used as the argument to a "bx" call, so make sure bit 0 is set in there
to mark this function as Thumb code. Of course this doesn't end up very
well when we use this address for the ensuing memcpy operation.
To avoid this problem, and to solve it in a robust way, add an extra
label, which is not marked as a function entry, and use that for the adr
instruction. This lets all assemblers generate the right immediate offset
in the "adr" instruction.
This fixes in particular ARMv7-M ports when using GNU binutils v2.37 or
newer (commit d3e52e120b68 seems to trigger the change in behaviour).

A U-Boot image could be loaded and executed at a different
location than it was linked at.
For example, Aspeed takes a stable release version of U-Boot image
as the golden one for recovery purposes. When the primary storage
such as flash is corrupted, the golden image would be loaded to any
SRAM/DRAM address on demands through ethernet/UART/etc and run for
rescue.
To deal with this condition, the PIE is needed as there is only one
signed, golden image, which could be however executed at different
places.
This patch adds the PIE support for ARMv7 platform.

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.

Rather than hard-coding the relocation type, add it to the ELF header file
and use it from there.

Commit 3ff46cc4 fixed exception vectors setting in
the general ARM case, by either copying the exception
and indirect vector tables to normal (0x00000000) or
high (0xFFFF0000) vectors address, or setting VBAR to
U-Boot's base if applicable.
i.MX27 SoC is ARM926E-JS, thus has only normal and
high options, but does not provide RAM at 0xFFFF0000
and has only ROM at 0x00000000; it is therefore not
possible to move or change its exception vectors.
Besides, i.MX27 ROM code does provide an indirect
vectors table but at a non-standard address and with
the reset and reserved vectors missing.
Turn the current vector relocation code into a weak
routine called after relocate_code from crt0, and add
strong version for i.MX27.

This commit relocates the exception vectors.
As ARM1176 and ARMv7 have the security extensions, it uses VBAR. For
the other ARM processors, it copies the relocated exception vectors to
the correct address: 0x00000000 or 0xFFFF0000.

r9 is a platform-specific register in ARM EABI and not per
definition a general purpose register. Do not use it while
relocating so it can be used for gd.

This change is only done where needed: some linker
scripts may contain relocation symbols yet remain
unchanged.
__rel_dyn_start and __rel_dyn_end each requires
its own output section; putting them in relocation
sections changes their flags and breaks relocation.

Discard all .dynsym sections from linker scripts
Remove all __dynsym_start definitions from linker scripts
Remove all __dynsym_start references from the codebase
Note: this touches include/asm-generic/sections.h, which
is not ARM-specific, but actual uses of __dynsym_start
are only in ARM, so this patch can safely go through
the ARM repository.

Replace all relocate_code routines from ARM start.S files
with a single instance in file arch/arm/lib/relocate.S.
For PXA, this requires moving the dcache unlocking code
