cd82f19985 armv7: Add Position Independent Execution support
A U-Boot image could be loaded and executed at a different
location than it was linked at.

For example, Aspeed takes a stable release version of U-Boot image
as the golden one for recovery purposes. When the primary storage
such as flash is corrupted, the golden image would be loaded to any
SRAM/DRAM address on demands through ethernet/UART/etc and run for
rescue.

To deal with this condition, the PIE is needed as there is only one
signed, golden image, which could be however executed at different
places.

This patch adds the PIE support for ARMv7 platform.

as it is already done in crt0_64.S:

	ldr	x18, [x18, #GD_NEW_GD]		/* x18 <- gd->new_gd */

22b7b86005 spl: separate SPL_FRAMEWORK config for spl and tpl
Right now enabling SPL_FRAMEWORK will also enable it for the TPL in all
cases, making the TPL bigger. There may be cases where the TPL is really
size constrained due to its underlying ram size.

Therefore introduce a new TPL_FRAMEWORK option and make the relevant
conditionals check for both. The default is set to "y if SPL_FRAMEWORK"
to mimic the previous behaviour where the TPL would always get the
SPL framework if it was enabled in SPL.

a5a5d997b4 spl: Allow performing BSS init early before board_init_f()
On some platform we have sufficient memory available early on to allow
setting up and using a basic BSS prior to entering board_init_f(). Doing
so can for example be used to carry state over to board_init_r() without
having to resort to extending U-Boot's global data structure.

To support such scenarios add a Kconfig option called CONFIG_SPL_EARLY_BSS
to allow moving the initialization of BSS prior to entering board_init_f(),
if enabled. Note that using this option usually should go along with using
CONFIG_SPL_SEPARATE_BSS and configuring BSS to be located in memory
actually available prior to board_init_f().

83d290c56f SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style
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.

3a649407a4 arm: Migrate SYS_THUMB_BUILD to Kconfig, introduce SPL_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
Today, we have cases where we wish to build all of U-Boot in Thumb2 mode for
various reasons.  We also have cases where we only build SPL in Thumb2 mode due
to size constraints and wish to build the rest of the system in ARM mode.  So
in this migration we introduce a new symbol as well, SPL_SYS_THUMB_BUILD to
control if we build everything or just SPL (or in theory, just U-Boot) in
Thumb2 mode.

adc421e4ce arm: move gd handling outside of C code
As of gcc 5.2.1 for Thumb-1, it is not possible any
more to assign gd from C code, as gd is mapped to r9,
and r9 may now be saved in the prolog sequence, and
restored in the epilog sequence, of any C functions.

Therefore arch_setup_gd(), which is supposed to set
r9, may actually have no effect, causing U-Boot to
use a bad address to access GD.

Fix this by never calling arch_setup_gd() for ARM,
and instead setting r9 in arch/arm/lib/crt0.S, to
the value returned by board_init_f_alloc_reserve().

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.

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.

don't have the ability to test aarch64 yet.
