This patch adds a minimal framework for Dickens CCN-504

to snoop/DVM domain and setting QoS of the RN-I ports.
LS2085A platform makes use of these configurations to support
better network data performance and to boot a SMP Linux.

Current many cpu use the same flush_cache() function, which just call
the flush_dcache_range().
So implement a weak flush_cache() for all the cpus to use.
In original weak flush_cache() in arch/arm/lib/cache.c, there has some
code for ARM1136 & ARM926ejs. But in the arch/arm/cpu/arm1136/cpu.c and
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/cache.c, there implements a real flush_cache()
function as well. That means the original code for ARM1136 & ARM926ejs
in weak flush_cache() of arch/arm/lib/cache.c is totally useless.
So in this patch remove such code in flush_cache() and only call
flush_dcache_range().

To fix this, we rework the hook slightly. A good portion of

is needed on ARMv8 we can re-use this by and large. So rename the
current hook to psci_update_dt(), move the prototype to <asm/psci.h> and
add an #ifdef that will make re-use later easier.

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.

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.

Resynchronize memcpy/memset with kernel 3.17 and build them in

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.

Commit 8bc347e2ec "ARM: bootm: Allow booting in secure mode on hyp capable
systems" added the capability to select nonsec vs sec mode boot via an
environment var.
There is a subtle gotcha with this functionality, which is that the PSCI nodes
are still created in the fdt (via armv7_update_dt->fdt_psci) even when booting
in secure mode. Which means that if the kernel is PSCI aware then it will fail
to boot because it will try and do PSCI from secure world, which won't work.
This likely didn't get noticed before because the original purpose was to
support booting the legacy linux-sunxi kernels which don't understand PSCI.
To fix expose boot_nonsec (renaming with armv7_ prefix) outside of bootm.c and
use from the virt-dt code.
As well as avoiding the creation of the PSCI nodes we should also avoid
reserving the secure RAM, so do so.

The semihosting code exposes internal file handle handling
functions to read(), open(), close() and get the length of
a certain file handle.
However the code using it is only interested in either
reading and entire named file into memory or getting the
file length of a file referred by name. No file handles
are used.
Thus make the file handle code internal to this file by
removing these functions from the semihosting header file
and staticize them.
This gives us some freedom to rearrange the semihosting
code without affecting the external interface.

The API is protected using the new CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY setting.
Boards can set this to the size to be used for the non-cached area. The
area will typically be right below the malloc() area, but architectures
should take care of aligning the beginning and end of the area to honor
any mapping restrictions. Architectures must also ensure that mappings
established for this area do not overlap with the malloc() area (which
should remain cached for improved performance).

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

A regression was introduced in commit 41623c91. The consequence of that
is the non-relocation of the section .vectors symbols :
_undefined_instruction, _software_interrupt, _prefetch_abort,
_data_abort, _not_used, _irq and _fiq.
Before commit 41623c91, the exception vectors were in a .text section.
The .text section has the attributes allocatable and executable [1].
In commit 41623c91, a specific section is created, called .vectors, with
the attribute executable only.
What have changed between commit 41623c91^ and 41623c91 is the attribute
of the section which contains the exception vectors.
An allocatable section is "a section [that] occupies memory during
process execution" [1] which is the case of the section .vectors.
Adding the lacking attribute (SHF_ALLOC or "a") for the definition of
the section .vectors fixed the issue.
To summarize, the fix has to mark .vectors as allocatable because the
exception vectors reside in "memory during execution" and they need to
be relocated.

We have not had a good method to debug the early boot stage such as

debuggers for that, but it is difficult in some cases.
(For example, my debugger cannot connect to the ARM processor when
it is in the secure state. It sometimes happens when I need to
debug the early boot stage on ARM SoCs with secure extension.)
The low level debug feature in Linux would be also helpful for U-boot
when we are stucking in nasty problems where the console is not
available yet.
You have to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_LL to use this feature.
For now, only 8250-compatible UART devices are supported.
