As doc/README.ARC says, pre-build ARC toolchains are available at
the Synopsys GitHub page.
The bin files are prefixed with arc(eb)-buildroot-linux- for earlier
releases, but with arc(eb)-snps-linux- for the latest releases.
The symbolic links prefixed with arc(eb)-linux- are also available
for all the release, so those prefixes can be used as the default
CROSS_COMPILE regardless of the toolchains version/variants.

This is important to have entry point in the beginning of .text section
because it allows simple loading and execution of U-Boot.
For example pre-bootloader loads U-Boot in memory starting from offset
0x81000000 and then just jumps to the same address.
Otherwise pre-bootloader would need to find-out where entry-point is. In
its turn if it deals with binary image of U-Boot there's no way for
pre-bootloader to get required value.

ARCv2 cores may have built-in SLC (System Level Cache, AKA L2-cache).
This change adds functions required for controlling SLC:
* slc_enable/disable
* slc_flush/invalidate
For now we just disable SLC to escape DMA coherency issues until either:
* SLC flush/invalidate is supported in DMA APIin U-Boot
* hardware DMA coherency is implemented (that might be board specific
so probably we'll need to have a separate Kconfig option for
controlling SLC explicitly)

Intention behind this work was elimination of as much assembly-written
code as it is possible.
In case of ARC we already have relocation fix-up implemented in C so why
don't we use C for U-Boot copying, .bss zeroing etc.
It turned out x86 uses pretty similar approach so we re-used parts of
code in "board_f.c" initially implemented for x86.
Now assembly usage during init is limited to stack- and frame-pointer
setup before and after relocation.

Make both invalidate_icache_all() and invalidate_dcache_all() available
even if U-Boot is configured with CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF and/or
CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF.
This is useful because configuration of U-Boot may not match actual
hardware features. Real board may have cache(s) but for some reason we
may want to run U-Boot with cache(s) disabled (for example if some
peripherals work improperly with existing drivers if data cache is
enabled). So board may start with cache(s) enabled (that's the case for
ARC cores with built-in caches) but early in U-Boot we disable cache(s)
and make sure all contents of data cache gets flushed in RAM.

ARC HS and ARC EM are new cores based on ARCv2 ISA which is binary
incompatible with ISAv1 (AKA ARCompact).
Significant difference between ISAv2 and v1 is implementation of
interrupt vector table.
In v1 it is implemented in the same way as on many other architectures -
as a special location where user may put whether code executed in place
(if machine word of space is enough) or jump to a full-scale interrupt
handler.
In v2 interrupt table is just an array of adresses of real interrupt
handlers. That requires a separate section for IVT that is not encoded
as code by assembler.
This change adds support for following cores:
* ARC EM6 (simple 32-bit microcontroller without MMU)
* ARC HS36 (advanced 32-bit microcontroller without MMU)
* ARC HS38 (advanced 32-bit microcontroller with MMU)
As a part of ARC HS38 new version of MMU (v4) was introduced.
Also this change adds AXS131 board which is the same DW ARC SDP base board but
with ARC HS38 CPU tile.

This way we may have very limited set of functions implemented so we
save some space.
Also it allows us to build U-Boot for any ARC core with the same one
toolchain because we don't rely on pre-built libgcc.
For example:
* we may use little-endian toolchain but build U-Boot for ether
endianess
* we may use non-multilibbed uClibc toolchain but build U-Boot for
whatever ARC CPU flavour that current GCC supports
Private libgcc built from generic C implementation contributes only 144
bytes to .text section so we don't see significant degradation of size:
--->8---
$ arc-linux-size u-boot.libgcc-prebuilt
text data bss dec hex filename
222217 24912 214820 461949 70c7d u-boot.libgcc-prebuilt
$ arc-linux-size u-boot.libgcc-private

222361 24912 214820 462093 70d0d u-boot.libgcc-private
--->8---

pre-built libgcc (where at least "*div*" functions are had-written in
assembly) on typical operations of downloading 10Mb uImage over TFTP and

"reset.c" and "cpu.c" have no architecture-specific code at all.
Others are applicable to either ARC CPU.
This change is a preparation to submission of ARCv2 architecture port.
Even though ARCv1 and ARCv2 ISAs are not binary compatible most of
built-in modules still have the same programming model - AUX registers
are mapped in the same addresses and hold the same data (new featues
extend existing ones).
So only low-level assembly code (start-up, interrupt handlers) is left
as CPU(actually ISA)-specific. This significantyl simplifies maintenance

Even though existing implementation works fine in preparation to
submission of ARCv2 architecture we need this change.
In case of ARCv2 interrupt vector table consists of just addresses
of corresponding handlers. And if those addresses will be in .text
section then assembler will encode them as everything in .text section
as middle-endian and then on real execution CPU will read swapped
addresses and will jump into the wild.
Once introduced new section is situated so .text section remains the
first which allows us to use common linker option for linking everything
to a specified CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.

Some cache operations ({i|d}cache_{enable|disable|status} or

This is required for force disable of caches on early boot.
What if something was executed before U-boot and enabled caches
(low-level bootloaders, previously run kernel etc.)?
But if CPU doesn't really have caches any attempt to access
cache-related AUX registers triggers instruction error exception.
So for convenience we'll try to avoid exceptions by checking if CPU
actually has caches (we check separately data and instruction cache
existence) at all.

MetaWare debugger (MDB) is still used as a primary tool for interaction
with target via JTAG. Moreover some very advanced features are not yet
implemented in GDB for ARC (and not sure if they will be implemnted
sometime soon given complexity and rare need for those features for
common user).
So if we're talking about development process when U-Boot is loaded in
target memory not by low-level boot-loader but manually through JTAG
chances are high developer uses MDB for it.
But MDB doesn't support PIE (position-independent executable) - it will
refuse to even start - that means no chance to load elf contents on
target.
Then the only way to load U-Boot in MDB is to fake it by:
1. Reset PIE flag in ELF header
This is simpe - on attempt to open elf MDB checks header and if it
doesn't match its expectation refuces to use provided elf.
2. Strip all debug information from elf
If (1) is done then MDB will open elf but on parsing of elf's debug
info it will refuse to process due to debug info it cannot understand
(symbols with PIE relocation).
Even though it could be done manually (I got it documented quite a while
ago here http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ARCNotes) having this automated
way is very convenient. User may build U-Boot that will be loaded on
target via MDB saying "make mdbtrick".
Then if we now apply the manipulation MDB will happily start and will
load all required sections into the target.
Indeed there will be no source-level debug info available. But still MDB
will do its work on showing disassembly, global symbols, registers,
accessing low-level debug facilities etc.
As a summary - this is a pretty dirty hack but it simplifies life a lot
for us ARc developers.

In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under

It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the
command line for cross compile.
But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line.
Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done.
That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a
