Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Commit c3d3a54 uses CONFIG_ARMV7 to determine whether to call the
v7_flush_cache_all function. This breaks the build for all non-OMAP3
boards (like Panda and OMAP4430SDP) since there is only a v7_flush_cache_all
implementation for OMAP3.
This patch uses CONFIG_OMAP3XXX instead of CONFIG_ARMV7 so that only boards
with a v7_flush_cache_all will make the call.
Tested on Beagle, Overo, Panda, and OMAP4430SDP

When this define was introduced, the idea was to provide a soft
migration path for ARM boards to get adapted to the new relocation
support. However, other recent changes led to a different
implementation (ELF relocation), where this no longer works. By now
CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC does not only not help any more, but it
actually hurts because it obfuscates the actual code by sprinkling it
with lots of dead and non-working debris.
So let's make a clean cut and drop CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC.

By now, the majority of architectures have working relocation
support, so the few remaining architectures have become exceptions.
To make this more obvious, we make working relocation now the default
case, and flag the remaining cases with CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC.

CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE has always been just a bad workarond for not
being able to use "sizeof(struct global_data)" in assembler files.
Recent experience has shown that manual synchronization is not
reliable enough. This patch renames CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE into
GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE which gets automatically generated by the
asm-offsets tool. In the result, all definitions of this value can be
deleted from the board config files. We have to make sure that all
files that reference such data include the new <asm-offsets.h> file.
No other changes have been done yet, but it is obvious that similar
changes / simplifications can be done for other, related macro
definitions as well.

This patch proposes to migrate the davinci_emac driver to using the
eth_device->write_hwaddr function pointer as suggested by Ben Warren.
All the davinci boards had the behaviour, prior to this patch, of
sync'ing the environment variable enetaddr with the MAC address read
from non-volatile storage on boot -- when the two locations disagreed,
the environment variable value took precendence. This patch keeps the
same behaviour but lets eth_initialize take care of it.
This patch refactors davinci_emac setup in the boards so that the MAC
address is read from non-volatile storage into the environment variable
and then the environment variable value is use in eth_intialize. The
only exception is the direct call to davinci_eth_set_mac_addr made by
the da830evm board init which was changed into an assignment of the
enetaddr field.

!! This breaks support for all arm boards !!
To compile in old style, you must define
CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC or you can compile
with "CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC=1 ./MAKEALL board"
!! This define will be removed soon, so convert your
board to use relocation support

This has been tested on at91sam9263 and STN8815.
Again, I didn't check if it has bad effects
on non-arm926 cores.
Initially I had a "done" bit to only set up page tables
at the beginning. However, since the aligmnent requirement
was for the whole object file, this extra integer tool 16kB
in BSS, so I chose to remove it.
Also, note not all boards use PHYS_SDRAM, but it looks like
it's the most used name (more than CONFIG_SYS_DRAM_BASE for
example).

While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function. This
function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
vs. getgrent_r, etc.).
Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.
To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {
