LTO (Link-Time Optimisation) is an very useful feature which can
significantly reduce the size of U-Boot binaries. So far it has been
made available for selected ARM boards and sandbox.
However, incremental builds are much slower when LTO is used. For example,
an incremental build of sandbox takes 2.1 seconds on my machine, but 6.7
seconds with LTO enabled.
Add a NO_LTO parameter to the build, similar to NO_SDL, so it can be
disabled during development if needed, for faster builds.
Add some documentation about LTO while we are here.

Rename the sections used to implement linker lists so they begin with
'__u_boot_list' rather than '.u_boot_list'. The double underscore at the
start is still distinct from the single underscore used by the symbol
names.
Having a '.' in the section names conflicts with clang's ASAN
instrumentation which tries to add redzones between the linker list
elements, causing expected accesses to fail. However, clang doesn't try
to add redzones to user sections, which are names with all alphanumeric
and underscore characters.

For ARMv8-A, NEON is standard, so the compiler can use it even when no
special target flags are provided. For example, it can use stores from
NEON registers to zero-initialize large structures. GCC 11 decides to
do this inside the DRAM init code for the Allwinner H6.
However, GCC 11 has a bug where it generates misaligned NEON register
stores even with -mstrict-align. Since the MMU is not enabled this early
in SPL, the misaligned store causes an exception and breaks booting.
Work around this issue by restricting the compiler to using GPRs only,
not vector registers. This prevents any future surprises relating to
NEON use as well.

Some times gcc may generate data that is then used within code that may
be part of an efi runtime section. That data could be jump tables,
constants or strings.
In order to make sure we catch these, we need to ensure that gcc emits
them into a section that we can relocate together with all the other
efi runtime bits. This only works if the -ffunction-sections and
-fdata-sections flags are passed and the efi runtime functions are
in a section that starts with ".text".
Up to now we had all efi runtime bits in sections that did not
interfere with the normal section naming scheme, but this forces
us to do so. Hence we need to move the efi_loader text/data/rodata
sections before the global *(.text*) catch-all section.
With this patch in place, we should hopefully have an easier time
to extend the efi runtime functionality in the future.

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.

Recent Linux distributions (e.g. Debian 9) include cross-compilers for
AArch64, but only for the aarch64-linux-gnu triplet only. It can thus
be expected that users will attempt to use the system cross-compiler
(instead of an aarch64-elf variant) to compile U-Boot for their ARMv8
target systems.
One key differences between an aarch64-linux-gnu and an aarch64-elf
compiler are the default settings regarding position-independent: with
the aarch64-linux-gnu compiler, the default will create and use the
global offset table.
This change-set adjusts the list of sections copied on ARMv8 to include
the GOT sections. With this added, the list matches the previous setup
for AArch32 closely.
Note that this is not an 'academic' issue, but was in fact encountered
by our QA during testing of the RK3399-Q7 BSP and resulted in an
early failure of the SPL stage during FDT setup.

After booting has finished, EFI allows firmware to still interact with the OS
using the "runtime services". These callbacks live in a separate address space,
since they are available long after U-Boot has been overwritten by the OS.
This patch adds enough framework for arbitrary code inside of U-Boot to become
a runtime service with the right section attributes set. For now, we don't make
use of it yet though.
We could maybe in the future map U-boot environment variables to EFI variables
here.

will be R_ARM_ABS32 relocation entry and .got section
in the final u-boot elf image. This can not be handled

arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.9 default does not enable '-fpic',

and linked in ARM mode too, however when calling them from Thumb2
built code, the stack got corrupted and the copy did not succeed
(the exact details have not been traced back). However, the Linux
kernel builds those files in Thumb2 mode. Hence U-Boot should
build them in Thumb2 mode too when CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD is set.
To build the files without warning, some assembler instructions
had to be replaced with their UAL compliant variant (thanks
Jeroen for this input).
To build the file in Thumb2 mode the implicit-it=always option need
to be set to generate Thumb2 compliant IT instructions where needed.
We add this option to the general AFLAGS when building for Thumb2.
