114c86d826 arm: relocation: clear .bss section with arch memset if defined
For ARM architecture, enable the CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET/MEMCPY,
will highly increase the memset/memcpy performance. This is able
thanks to the ARM multiple register instructions.

Unfortunatelly the relocation is done without the cache enabled,
so it takes some time, but zeroing the BSS memory takes much more
longer, especially for the configs with big static buffers.

A quick test confirms, that the boot time improvement after using
the arch memcpy for relocation has no significant meaning.
The same test confirms that enable the memset for zeroing BSS,
reduces the boot time.

So this patch enables the arch memset for zeroing the BSS after
the relocation process. For ARM boards, this can be enabled
in board configs by defining: 'CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET'.

This was tested on Trats2.
A quick test with trace. Boot time from start to main_loop() entry:
- ~1384ms - before this change
-  ~888ms - after this change

db910353a1 arm: spl: Allow board_init_r() to run with a larger stack
At present SPL uses a single stack, either CONFIG_SPL_STACK or
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR. Since some SPL features (such as MMC and
environment) require a lot of stack, some boards set CONFIG_SPL_STACK to
point into SDRAM. They then set up SDRAM very early, before board_init_f(),
so that the larger stack can be used.

This is an abuse of lowlevel_init(). That function should only be used for
essential start-up code which cannot be delayed. An example of a valid use is
when only part of the SPL code is visible/executable, and the SoC must be set
up so that board_init_f() can be reached. It should not be used for SDRAM
init, console init, etc.

Add a CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R option, which allows the stack to be moved to a new
address before board_init_r() is called in SPL.

The expected SPL flow (for CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK) is documented in the README.

ba19599b44 dm: arm: spl: Allow simple malloc() in SPL
For SPL it is sometimes useful to have a simple malloc() just to permit
driver model to work, in the cases where the full malloc() is not made
available by the board config.

db544b9662 imx: fix exception vectors relocation in imx27
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.

aae2aef9c8 arm: Set up global data before board_init_f()
At present arm defines CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA, meaning that
the global_data pointer is set up in board_init_f(). However it is
actually set up before this, it just isn't zeroed.

If we zero the global data before calling board_init_f() then we
don't need to define CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA.

Make this change (on arm32 only) to simplify the init process. I
don't have the ability to test aarch64 yet.

6ba2bc8fa9 arm: use canonical sub mnemonic
Building some arm boards with older binutils may produce errors like this:

---8<---
crt0.S: Assembler messages:
crt0.S:70: Error: register expected, not '#(184)' -- `sub sp,#(184)'
--->8---

Use canonical version of the subtract mnemonic to avoid those issues.

fe1378a961 ARM: use r9 for gd
To be more EABI compliant and as a preparation for building
with clang, use the platform-specific r9 register for gd
instead of r8.

note: The FIQ is not updated since it is not used in u-boot,
and under discussion for the time being.

The following checkpatch warning is ignored:
WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see

3929fb0a14 Replace __bss_end__ with __bss_end
Note this is a tree-wide change affecting multiple architectures.

At present we use __bss_start, but mostly __bss_end__. This seems
inconsistent and in a number of places __bss_end is used instead.

Change to use __bss_end for the BSS end symbol throughout U-Boot. This
makes it possible to use the asm-generic/sections.h file on all
archs.

e05e5de7fa arm: move C runtime setup code in crt0.S
Move all the C runtime setup code from every start.S
in arch/arm into arch/arm/lib/crt0.S. This covers
the code sequence from setting up the initial stack
to calling into board_init_r().

Also, rewrite the C runtime setup and make functions
board_init_*() and relocate_code() behave according to
normal C semantics (no jumping across the C stack any
more, etc).

Some SPL targets had to be touched because they use
start.S explicitly or for some reason; the relevant
maintainers and custodians are cc:ed.
