We noticed on the DXR2 platform (AM335x with a SMSC LAN9303 switch connected
to the CPSW MAC) that the network performance in U-Boot is quite poor. Only
when the transfer is started without a cable connected, and the cable is
plugged after the first timeout "T" occured, an increased in performance
can be seen. Debugging has revealed, that the cpsw driver has constant
link checking builtin into the rx and tx functions. This results in the
bad performance and seems to be unnecessary. The link has already been
checked in the init function, before the transfer is started. This usually
is sufficient.
BTW: I have seen no other network driver in U-Boot so far, that constantly
checks for link in the rx / tx functions.
The performance numbers on the DXR2 board are:
0.56 MiB/s cpsw_check_link() in rx and tx path
0.87 MiB/s cpsw_check_link() only in tx path
1.0 MiB/s cpsw_check_link() only in rx path
2.7 MiB/s no cpsw_check_link() in rx and tx path
So with this patch the network performance on DXR2 increases from 0.56
to 2.7 MiB/s (nearly 5 times as fast).

I guess some developers are already getting sick of this tool

The idea popped up on my mind was to skip Makefiles and
to run script/kconfig/conf directly.
This tool should become about 4 times faster.

[1] The boards.cfg is removed if the program is terminated
during __gen_boards_cfg() function but before boards.cfg
is actually touched. In this case, the previous boards.cfg
should be kept as it is.

When compiling the current code on GCC 4.8.3, the following warnings
appear:
warning: format '%zu' expects argument of type 'size_t', but argument
2 has type 'long unsigned int' [-Wformat=]
There were many mails about such warnings on different architectures.
This patch limits itself to the nios2 architecture.
The problem is that for the size_t (%zu, %zd, ...) arguments of
printf GCC does not verify the type match to size_t type. It verifies
the type match to the compiler-defined __SIZE_TYPE__ type. Thus, if
size_t is defined different from __SIZE_TYPE__ - warnings inevitably
appear.
There is a comment by Thomas Chou to the (rejected) patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/272102/
which explains that the older GCC toolchains (gcc-3.4.6 and gcc-4.1.2)
expect size_t to be "unsigned long" and the newer expect it to be
"unsigned int". Thus, no matter how we define size_t - either way
warnings appear when using some GCC version.
By rejecting that patch, a choice was made to prefer older GCC versions
and leave the warnings when building with the newer toolchains.
Personally, I disagree with this choice...
In any case, this patch proposes a way to fix the warnings for any GCC
version. Just define size_t using the __SIZE_TYPE__ compiler-defined
type and the type verification will pass.
I tested that this fixes the warning on GCC 4.8.3. I don't have an
older toolchain to test with, but __SIZE_TYPE__ was definitely defined
in GCC 3.4.6, so it should work there too.

Commit 51148790 added scripts/multiconfig.py written in Python 2
to adjust Kconfig for U-Boot.
It has been hard for Python 3 users because Python 2 and Python 3
are not compatible with each other.
We are not happy about adding a new host tool dependency
(in this case, Python version dependency) for the core build process.
After some discussion, we decided to use only basic tools.
The script may get a bit more unreadable by shell scripting,
but we believe it is worthwhile.
In addition, this commit revives "<board>_config" target that is
equivalent to "<board>_defconfig" for backwards compatibility.
It is annoying to adjust various projects which use U-Boot.

It's not unusual for DHCP servers to take a couple hundred milliseconds
to respond to DHCP discover messages. One possible reason for the delay
can be that the server checks (typically using an ARP request) that the
IP it's about to hand out isn't in use yet. To make matters worse, some
servers may also queue up requests and process them sequentially, which
can cause excessively long delays if clients retry too fast.
Commit f59be6e850 ("net: BOOTP retry timeout improvements") shortened
the retry timeouts significantly, but the BOOTP/DHCP implementation in
U-Boot doesn't handle that well because it will ignore incoming replies
to earlier requests. In one particular setup this increases the time it
takes to obtain a DHCP lease from 630 ms to 8313 ms.
This commit attempts to fix this in two ways. First it increases the
initial retry timeout from 10 ms to 250 ms to give DHCP servers some
more time to respond. At the same time a cache of outstanding DHCP
request IDs is kept so that the implementation will know to continue
transactions even after a retransmission of the DISCOVER message. The
maximum retry timeout is also increased from 1 second to 2 seconds. An
ID cache of size 4 will keep DHCP requests around for 8 seconds (once
the maximum retry timeout has been reached) before dropping them. This
should give servers plenty of time to respond. If it ever turns out
that this isn't enough, the size of the cache can easily be increased.
With this commit the DHCP lease on the above-mentioned setup still takes
longer (1230 ms) than originally, but that's an acceptable compromise to
improve DHCP lease acquisition time for a broader range of setups.
To make it easier to benchmark DHCP in the future, this commit also adds
the time it took to obtain a lease to the final "DHCP client bound to
address x.x.x.x" message.
