Currently we use incremental linking (ld -r) to link several object
files from one directory into one built-in.o object file containing the
linked code from that directory (and its subdirectories).
Linux has, some time ago, moved to thin archives instead.
Thin archives are archives (.a) that do not really contain the object
files, only references to them.
Using thin archives instead of incremental linking
- saves disk space
- apparently works better with dead code elimination
- makes things easier for LTO
The third point is the important one for us. With incremental linking
there are several options how to do LTO, and that would unnecessarily
complicate things.
We have to use the --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive linking option
instead of --start-group/--end-group, otherwise linking may fail because
of unresolved symbols, or the resulting binary will be unusable.
We also need to use the P flag for ar, otherwise final linking may fail.

At present sandbox has a start.o in the 'start' target but also includes
it in the normal target list. This is not how this is normally handled. It
is needed because sandbox does not include the u-boot-init variable in its
link rule.
Update the rule and move start.o from the normal target list to the
'extras' list.

This partially reverts commit 7e21fbca26.
That change broke sandbox EFI support for unknown reasons. It also changes
sandbox to use--gc-sections which we don't want.
For now I am just reverting the sandbox portion as presumably this change
is safe on other architectures.

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.

[agraf: Fix x86_64 breakage]
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.

- The macro __BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT__ is gcc-specific. If it is not defined
we'll just assume 16. This is correct for at least the common cases
and LLVM does not provide an equivalent macro.
- When linking U-Boot we're passing -T to the linker, and while gcc will
just pass this along with LLVM we need to be specific.

SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer - see www.libsdl.org) is a library which
provides simple graphics and sound features. It works under X11 and also
with a simple frame buffer interface. It is ideally suited to sandbox
U-Boot since it fits nicely with the low-level feature set required by
U-Boot. For example, U-Boot has its own font drawing routines, its own
keyboard processing and just needs raw sound output.
We can use SDL to provide emulation of these basic functions for sandbox.
This significantly expands the testing that is possible with sandbox.
Add a basic SDL library which we will use in future commits.

Sandbox doesn't actually provide U-Boot access to the machine's physical
memory. Instead it provides a RAM buffer of configurable size, and all
memory accesses are within that buffer. Sandbox memory starts at 0 and
is CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE bytes in size. Allowing access outside this buffer
might produce unpredictable results in the event of an error, and would
expose the host machine's memory architecture to the sandbox U-Boot.
Most U-Boot functions assume that they can just access memory at given
address. For sandbox this is not true.
Add a map_sysmem() call which converts a U-Boot address to a system
address. In most cases this is a NOP, but for sandbox it returns a
pointer to that memory inside the RAM buffer.
To get a U-Boot feature to work correctly within sandbox, you should call
map_sysmem() to get a pointer to the address, and then use that address for
any U-Boot memory accesses.
