1bef0c530b MIPS: fix linking of standalone programs
Use the global MIPS specific u-boot.lds for linking standalone programs
instead of the outdated ones in examples/standalone/. Also pass --gc-sections
in LDFLAGS_STANDALONE to optimize the size of standalone programs.
Finally remove the deprecated config.mk files in arch/mips/cpu/mips[32,64]/.

9630146411 MIPS: make size of relocation table fixed but configurable
Currently the size of the relocation table will be shrunk
to the actual size needed. Although this gives a maximal
space saving, it messes up the _end symbol. This breaks
features like appended DTBs because the _end symbol doesn't
point to the real end of the U-Boot binary.

Remove the size shrinking and make the size of the relocation
table fixed but configurable. This follows the Linux approach
and the user can adjust the size to his needs.

Also rename the relocation table section from .rel to .data.reloc
to follow the Linux approach and to avoid ambiguities with the
.rel.* sections added by the linker.

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.

703ec9ddf9 MIPS: Stop building position independent code
U-Boot has up until now built with -fpic for the MIPS architecture,
producing position independent code which uses indirection through a
global offset table, making relocation fairly straightforward as it
simply involves patching up GOT entries.

Using -fpic does however have some downsides. The biggest of these is
that generated code is bloated in various ways. For example, function
calls are indirected through the GOT & the t9 register:

  8f998064   lw     t9,-32668(gp)
  0320f809   jalr   t9

Without -fpic the call is simply:

  0f803f01   jal    be00fc04 <puts>

This is more compact & faster (due to the lack of the load & the
dependency the jump has on its result). It is also easier to read &
debug because the disassembly shows what function is being called,
rather than just an offset from gp which would then have to be looked up
in the ELF to discover the target function.

Another disadvantage of -fpic is that each function begins with a
sequence to calculate the value of the gp register, for example:

  3c1c0004   lui    gp,0x4
  279c3384   addiu  gp,gp,13188
  0399e021   addu   gp,gp,t9

Without using -fpic this sequence no longer appears at the start of each
function, reducing code size considerably.

This patch switches U-Boot from building with -fpic to building with
-fno-pic, in order to gain the benefits described above. The cost of
this is an extra step during the build process to extract relocation
data from the ELF & write it into a new .rel section in a compact
format, plus the added complexity of dealing with multiple types of
relocation rather than the single type that applied to the GOT. The
benefit is smaller, cleaner, more debuggable code. The relocate_code()
function is reimplemented in C to handle the new relocation scheme,
which also makes it easier to read & debug.

Taking maltael_defconfig as an example the size of u-boot.bin built
using the Codescape MIPS 2016.05-06 toolchain (gcc 4.9.2, binutils
2.24.90) shrinks from 254KiB to 224KiB.

e92d9124f8 MIPS: do not build position-independent executables for SPL
SPL binaries are usually linked to a fixed address in SRAM.
Furthermore SPL binaries do not need to relocate itself. Thus
do not build them as position-independent binaries which helps
to largely reduce the size of SPL binaries.

265072ba75 MIPS: add .padding section to linker script
Commit 79fd7e649e

    MIPS: always keep all sections in u-boot ELF binary.

    Always keep all sections in u-boot ELF binary. Move all unneeded
    sections after _end to avoid allocating space in the final binary.
    Also remove .deadcode section which is now obsolete.

removed section .deadcode because the original symptoms were not
visible anymore. Unfortuneatly the binutils bug still exists.

The size of .rel.dyn section is often bigger than needed for all
entries. But objcopy only allocates space as much as required for all
reloc entries. Thus there is a gap between the last entry and
__rel_dyn_end in u-boot.bin. If u-boot is booted from RAM (e.g. in
SPL scenarios) that area could contain garbage data which could lead
to CPU exceptions during relocation.

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.
