This commit changes the location of include directives
of board configuration files.
The purpose of this change is:
- Slim down $(TOPDIR)/config.mk
- Prevent $(TOPDIR)/Makefile from including the same
configuration file twice
- Do not include include/config.mk multiple times
because ARCH, CPU, BOARD, VENDOR, SOC are exported
Before this commit:
- include/autoconf.mk was included from $(TOPDIR)/Makefile
and $(TOPDIR)/config.mk
(This means $(TOPDIR)/Makefile included include/autoconf.mk twice)
- include/{spl,tpl}-autoconf.mk was included from $(TOPDIR)/config.mk
- include/config.mk was included from $(TOPDIR)/Makefile
and $(TOPDIR)/config.mk
(This means $(TOPDIR)/Makefile included include/config.mk twice)
After this commit:
- include/autoconf.mk is included from $(TOPDIR)/Makefile
and $(TOPDIR)/scripts/Makefile.build
- include/{spl,tpl}-autoconf.mk is included from $(TOPDIR)/spl/Makefile
and $(TOPDIR)/scripts/Makefile.build
- include/config.mk is included from $(TOPDIR)/config.mk and
$(TOPDIR)/spl/Makefile

Now we are ready to switch over to real Kbuild.
This commit disables temporary scripts:
scripts/{Makefile.build.tmp, Makefile.host.tmp}
and enables real Kbuild scripts:
scripts/{Makefile.build,Makefile.host,Makefile.lib}.
This switch is triggered by the line in scripts/Kbuild.include
-build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build.tmp obj
+build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build obj
We need to adjust some build scripts for U-Boot.
But smaller amount of modification is preferable.
Additionally, we need to fix compiler flags which are
locally added or removed.
In Kbuild, it is not allowed to change CFLAGS locally.
Instead, ccflags-y, asflags-y, cppflags-y,
CFLAGS_$(basetarget).o, CFLAGS_REMOVE_$(basetarget).o
are prepared for that purpose.

This commit changes the working directory
where the build process occurs.
Before this commit, build process occurred under the source
tree for both in-tree and out-of-tree build.
That's why we needed to add $(obj) prefix to all generated
files in makefiles like follows:
$(obj)u-boot.bin: $(obj)u-boot
Here, $(obj) is empty for in-tree build, whereas it points
to the output directory for out-of-tree build.
And our old build system changes the current working directory
with "make -C <sub-dir>" syntax when descending into the
sub-directories.
On the other hand, Kbuild uses a different idea
to handle out-of-tree build and directory descending.
The build process of Kbuild always occurs under the output tree.
When "O=dir/to/store/output/files" is given, the build system
changes the current working directory to that directory and
restarts the make.
Kbuild uses "make -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.build obj=<sub-dir>"
syntax for descending into sub-directories.
(We can write it like "make $(obj)=<sub-dir>" with a shorthand.)
This means the current working directory is always the top
of the output directory.

I'd like to slim down config.mk file

We should rather define them at the top Makefile

U-Boot makefiles has been used "SHELL" variable to store shell

We should never use "SHELL" variable because it is
a special variable for GNU Make.
Changing SHELL may cause unpredictable side effects
whose root cause is usually difficult to find.
We should use a generic variable name "CONFIG_SHELL".
We should not use the syntax as follows either:

This depends on "bash" although GNU Make generally
invokes "sh" to run the each rule.

Due to the nand SPL on some board(e.g. P1022DS)has a size limit, it can
not be more than 4K. So, the SPL cannot initialize the DDR with the SPD
code. This patch introduces TPL to enable a loader stub that is loaded
by the code from the SPL. It initializes the DDR with the SPD or other
operations.
The TPL's size is sizeable, the maximum size is decided by the memory's
size that TPL runs. It initializes the DDR through SPD code, and copys
final uboot image to DDR. So there are three stage uboot images:
* spl_boot, * tpl_boot, * final uboot image

SPL defines CONFIG_SPL_BUILD but this does not percolate to the
autoconf.mk Makefile. As a result the build breaks when
CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is used in the board-specific include header file. With
this, there is a possibility of having a CONFIG option defined in the
header file but not defined in the Makefile causing all kinds of build
failure and problems.
It also messes things for up, for example, when one might want to
undefine options to keep the SPL small and doesn't want to be stuck with
the CONFIG options used for U-boot. Lastly, this also avoids defining
special CONFIG_SPL_ variables for cases where some options are required
in U-boot but not in SPL.
We add a spl-autoconf.mk rule that is generated for SPL with the
CONFIG_SPL_BUILD flag and conditionally include it for SPL builds.

Like many other projects, U-Boot has a tradition of including big
blocks of License headers in all files. This not only blows up the
source code with mostly redundant information, but also makes it very
difficult to generate License Clearing Reports. An additional problem
is that even the same lincenses are referred to by a number of
slightly varying text blocks (full, abbreviated, different
indentation, line wrapping and/or white space, with obsolete address
information, ...) which makes automatic processing a nightmare.
To make this easier, such license headers in the source files will be
replaced with a single line reference to Unique Lincense Identifiers
as defined by the Linux Foundation's SPDX project [1]. For example,
in a source file the full "GPL v2.0 or later" header text will be
replaced by a single line:
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
We use the SPDX Unique Lincense Identifiers here; these are available
at [2].
Note: From the legal point of view, this patch is supposed to be only
a change to the textual representation of the license information,
but in no way any change to the actual license terms. With this patch
applied, all files will still be licensed under the same terms they
were before.
Note 2: The apparent difference between the old "COPYING" and the new
"Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt" only results from switching to the upstream
version of the license which is differently formatted; there are not
any actual changes to the content.
Note 3: There are some recurring questions about linense issues, such
as:
- Is a "All Rights Reserved" clause a problem in GPL code?
- Are files without any license header a problem?
- Do we need license headers at all?
The following excerpt from an e-mail by Daniel B. Ravicher should help

At present mkimage is set up to always build with image signing support.
This means that the SSL libraries (e.g. libssl-dev) are always required.
Adjust things so that mkimage can be built with and without image signing,
controlled by the presence of CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE in the board config file.
If CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not enabled, then mkimage will report a warning
that signing is not supported. If the option is enabled, but libraries are
not available, then a build error similar to this will be shown:

RSA provides a public key encryption facility which is ideal for image
signing and verification.
Images are signed using a private key by mkimage. Then at run-time, the
images are verified using a private key.
This implementation uses openssl for the host part (mkimage). To avoid
bringing large libraries into the U-Boot binary, the RSA public key
is encoded using a simple numeric representation in the device tree.

make never uses the SHELL variable from the environment. Instead, it
uses /bin/sh, or the value assigned to the SHELL variable by the Makefile. This
makes the export of the SHELL variable useless for sub-makes (but still useful
for the environment of recipes). However, we want all makes to use the same
shell.
This patch fixes this issue by moving the SHELL variable setup and export to the
top config.mk, so that all Makefile-s including it use the same shell.
Since BASH is used by default, this makes it possible to use things
like 'echo -e ...' in sub-makes, which would otherwise fail e.g. with /bin/sh
symlinked to /bin/dash on Ubuntu.

at runtime just before U-Boot is linked.
The purpose of this code is to especially generate the appropriate
boundary symbols around each subsection in the section carrying the
linker-generated arrays. Obviously, the interim linker code for actual
placement of the variables into the section is generated too. The
generated file, u-boot.lst, is included into u-boot.lds via the linker
INCLUDE directive in u-boot.lds .
Adjustments are made in the Makefile and spl/Makefile so that the

U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again. On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.
This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.
Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l
Before: After: Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555 15205 -26%
qong 31692 14490 -54%
As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.
