-msingle-pic-base is a new gcc option for ppc and
it reduces the size of my u-boot with 6-8 KB.
While at it, add -fno-jump-tables too to save a
few more bytes.
-msingle-pic-base will be in gcc 4.6, however
backported patches are available at

The -fPIC flag belongs with -mrelocatable, move it there.
Also change -fPIC to -fpic as this produces smaller
binaries.
However, currently -mrelocatable promotes -fpic to -fPIC, a
fix for this is in upcoming gcc 4.6 or you can apply this small
patch to gcc:

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section. We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

As we try to get rid of board specific config.mk files we must
provide a way for board specific settings of the LDSCRIPT variable
(path to the linker script) where needed.
We now implement the following hierarchy:
- Highest priority has a "#define CONFIG_SYS_LDCONFIG" in the board
config file.
- If CONFIG_SYS_LDCONFIG is not set, and the system is booting from
NAND (CONFIG_NAND_SPL is set), then a board specific linker
script board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds gets used.
- If we are not booting from NAND, we test if a processor specific
linker script arch/powerpc/cpu/$(CPU)/u-boot.lds exists; if so we
use that.
- As default, arch/powerpc/config.mk gets used.

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.

The fixup procedure just stored a constant value in the
fixup table rather than just adjusting the table.
Although that doesn't seem to do any harm, it prevents
relocation more that once.

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.

The fixup routine must not fixup NULL pointers.
Problem can be seen by
char *testfun(void) __attribute__((weak));
char *(*myfun)(void) = testfun;
Then add
printf("myfun:%p, &myfun:%p\n", myfun, &myfun);
before relocation and after relocation.
myfun should be NULL in both cases but it is not.

Now that warm booting is not supported, there isn't a need for the
BOOTFLAG_COLD and BOOTFLAG_WARM defines, so remove them.
Note that this change makes the board info bd_bootflags field useless.
It will always be set to 0, but we leave it around so that we don't
break the board info structure that some OSes are expecting to be passed
from U-Boot.

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) {

The MPC5200 has a nasty problem that will cause silent data corruption
when performing unaligned 16 or 32 byte accesses when reading from the
local bus - typically this affects reading from flash. The problem can
be easily shown:

This commit implements a workaround at least for the most blatant
problem: using memcpy() from NOR flash. We rename the assembler
routine into __memcpy() and provide a wrapper, which will use a
byte-wise copy loop for unaligned source or target addresses when
reading from NOR flash, and branch to the optimized __memcpy()
in all other cases, thus minimizing the performance impact.
Tested on lite5200b and TQM5200S.

This patch consolidates bootcount_{store|load} for PowerPC by
implementing a common version in arch/powerpc/lib/bootcount.c. This
code is now used by all PowerPC variants that currently have these
functions implemented.
The functions now use the proper IO-accessor functions to read/write the
values.
This code also supports two different bootcount versions:
a) Use 2 separate words (2 * 32bit) to store the bootcounter
b) Use only 1 word (2 * 16bit) to store the bootcounter
Version b) was already used by MPC5xxx.

Subsequent patch extends mpc512x serial driver to support
multiple PSC ports. The driver will provide an uninit()
function to stop the serial controller and to disable the
controller's clock. Adding uninit() entry to struct serial_device
allows disabling the serial controller after usage of
a stdio serial device.
This patch adds uninit() entry to the struct serial_device
and fixes initialization of this structure in the code
accordingly.

As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.
Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.
