81f98bbd62 malta: setup PIIX4 interrupt route
Without setting up the PIRQ[A:D] interrupt routes, PCI interrupts will
be left disabled. Linux does not set up this routing but relies upon it
having been set up by the bootloader, reading back the IRQ lines which
the PIRQ[A:D] signals have been routed to.

This patch routes PIRQA & PIRQB to IRQ 10, and PIRQC & PIRQD to IRQ 11.
This matches the setup used by YAMON.

baf37f06c5 malta: support for coreFPGA6 boards
This patch adds support for running on Malta boards using coreFPGA6
core cards, including support for the msc01 system controller used
with them. The system controller is detected at runtime allowing one
U-boot binary to run on a Malta with either.

Due to the PCI I/O base differing between Maltas using gt64120 & msc01
system controllers, the UART setup is modified slightly. A second UART
is added so that there is one pointing at the correct address for each
system controller. The Malta board then defines its own
default_serial_console function to select the correct one at runtime.
The incorrect UART will simply not function.

Tested on:
  - A coreFPGA6 Malta running interAptiv and proAptiv bitstreams, both
    with and without an L2 cache.
  - QEMU.

fa476f75bf mips32: detect L1 cache sizes if they're not defined
For boards such as the MIPS Malta with an FPGA core card it is desirable
to be able to detect the L1 cache sizes at runtime, since they are not
dependant upon the board but on the FPGA bitstream in use. This patch
performs that detection when the CONFIG_SYS_[DI]CACHE_SIZE macros are
not defined by the board configuration. In cases where the sizes are
detected this patch also removes the restriction that the I-cache &
D-cache line sizes must be the same, as this is not necessarily true.

If the cache sizes are defined by a configuration then they will be
hardcoded as before, so this patch will not add overhead to such
boards.

f0550f87f4 MIPS: fix __raw_* IO accessors
The purpose of the __raw* IO accessors is to provide
IO access in native-endian order. However in the current
MIPS implementation, the 16 and 32 bit variants of the
__raw accessors are swapping the values on big-endian
systems if the CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE option is enabled.

The patch changes the IO accessor macros to fix this
broken behaviour.

1865286466 Introduce generic link section.h symbol files
We create a separate header file for link symbols defined by the link
scripts. It is helpful to have these all in one place and try to
make them common across architectures. Since Linux already has a similar
file, we bring this in even though many of the symbols there are not
relevant to us.

Each architecture has its own asm/sections.h where symbols specifc to
that architecture can be added. For now everything except AVR32 just
includes the generic header.

One change is needed in arch/avr32/lib/board.c to make this conversion
work.

04380c651a MIPS: add dynamic relocation support
The code handles relocation entries with the
following relocation types only:
  mips32: R_MIPS_REL32
  mips64: R_MIPS_REL+R_MIPS_64
  xburst: R_MIPS_REL32

Other relocation entries are skipped without
processing. The code must be extended if other
relocation types must be supported.

Add -pie to LDFLAGS_FINAL to generate the .rel.dyn
fixup table, which will be applied to the relocated
image before transferring control to it.

The CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC is not needed
after the patch, so remove that as well.

80421fcc3e MIPS: Ingenic XBurst Jz4740 processor support
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/.

25ddd1fb0a Replace CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE by auto-generated value
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.

ea882baf9c New implementation for internal handling of environment variables.
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:
  DU405, canyonlands, sequoia, socrates.

- Build tested on PPC and ARM only; runtime tested with NOR and NAND

91a76751a0 Make getenv() work before relocation.
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.

819833af39 Move architecture-specific includes to arch/$ARCH/include/asm
This helps to clean up the include/ directory so that it only contains
non-architecture-specific headers and also matches Linux's directory
layout which many U-Boot developers are already familiar with.
