To be able to relocate the .bss section at run time independently from
the rest of the code, we must make sure that no GOTOFF relocations are
used with .bss symbols. This usually means that no global variables can
be marked static unless they're also const.
To enforce this, suffice to fail the build whenever a private symbol
is allocated to .bss and list those symbols for convenience.
The user_stack and user_stack_end labels in head.S were converted into
non exported symbols to remove false positives.

If the zImage load address is slightly below the relocation address,
there is a risk for the copied data to overwrite the copy loop or
cache flush code that the relocation process requires. Always
bump the relocation address by the size of that code to avoid this
issue.
Noticed by Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>.
While at it, let's start the copy from the restart symbol which makes
the above code size computation possible by the assembler directly,
given that we don't need to preserve the code before that point anyway.
And therefore we don't need to carry the _start pointer in r5 anymore.

Otherwise cache_clean_flush can overwrite some of the relocated
area depending on where the kernel image gets loaded. This fixes

With commit 6d7d0ae5 "improvements to compressed/head.S" the code
relocates itself, calls cache_clean_flush, and restart from the
beginning in order to determine the new stack location amongst other
things. But cache_clean_flush in the ARMv7 case was stashing the
content of some registers to the old stack location, possibly corrupting
the newly relocated code. Let's rework register assignment in
cache_clean_flush to avoid stack usage entirely.
Thanks to Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com> for investigating
this problem.

With ARMv5+ and EABI, the compiler expects a 64-bit aligned stack so

Many architecture specific versions of uncompress.h make use of global
variables marked static. In such case the GOT is bypassed and the
code in head.S can't relocate them.
Instead of removing the static keyword from all those files and hope that
it won't come back, let's simply
define it out.

The return value for decompress_kernel() is no longer used. Furthermore,

In commit d239b1dc093d the hardcoded 4x estimate for the decompressed
kernel size was replaced by the exact Image file size and passed to
the linker as a symbol value. Turns out that this is unneeded as the
size is already included at the end of the compressed piggy data.
For those compressed formats that don't include this data, the build
system already takes care of appending it using size_append in
scripts/Makefile.lib. So let's use that instead.

This patch adds adds very basic support for booting tegra with a
device tree. It simply allows the existing machine_descs to match
against the tegra compatible values so that the kernel can boot.
Kernel parameters and the initrd pointer is read out of the tree
instead of atags.
This is not complete device tree support. This change will be
reverted when a new machine_desc is added that can populate the
device registrations directly from data in the tree instead of using
hard coded data. That change will be made in a future patch.

The inline assembly differences for v6 vs. v7 are purely
optimizations. On a v7 processor, an mrc with the pc sets the
condition codes to the 28-31 bits of the register being read. It
just so happens that the TX/RX full bits the DCC support code is
testing for are high enough in the register to be put into the
condition codes. On a v6 processor, this "feature" isn't
implemented and thus we have to do the usual read, mask, test
operations to check for TX/RX full. Thus, we can drop the v7
implementation and just use the v6 implementation for both.

We currently presume a 4x expansion to guess the decompressed kernel size
in order to determine if the decompressed kernel is in conflict with
the location where zImage is loaded. This guess may cause many issues
by overestimating the final kernel image size:
- This may force a needless relocation if the location of zImage was
fine, wasting some precious microseconds of boot time.
- The relocation may be located way too far, possibly overwriting the
initrd image in RAM.
- If the kernel image includes a large already-compressed initramfs image
then the problem is even more exacerbated.
And if by some strange means the 4x guess is too low then we may overwrite
ourselves with the decompressed image.
So let's use the exact decompressed kernel image size instead. For that
we need to rely on the stat command, but this is hardly a new build
dependency as the kernel already depends on many external commands
to be built provided by the coreutils package where stat is found.

In the case of a conflict between the memory used by the compressed
kernel with its decompressor code and the memory used for the
decompressed kernel, we currently store the later after the former and
relocate it afterwards.
This would be more efficient to do this the other way around i.e.
relocate the compressed data up front instead, resulting in a smaller
copy. That also has the advantage of making the code smaller and more
straight forward.

Introduce a CPU_V6K configuration option for platforms to select if they
have a V6K CPU core. This allows us to identify whether we need to
support ARMv6 CPUs without the V6K SMP extensions at build time.
Currently CPU_V6K is just an alias for CPU_V6, and all places which
reference CPU_V6 are replaced by (CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K).
Select CPU_V6K from platforms which are known to be V6K-only.

This adds support for the family of Systems-on-Chip produced initially
by VIA and now its subsidiary WonderMedia that have recently become
widespread in lower-end Chinese ARM-based tablets and netbooks.
Support is included for both VT8500 and WM8505, selectable by a
configuration switch at kernel build time.
Included are basic machine initialization files, register and
interrupt definitions, support for the on-chip interrupt controller,
high-precision OS timer, GPIO lines, necessary macros for early debug,
pulse-width-modulated outputs control, as well as platform device
configurations for the specific drivers implemented elsewhere.

This allows a ROM-able zImage to be written to MMC and
for SuperH Mobile ARM to boot directly from the MMCIF
hardware block.
This is achieved by the MaskROM loading the first portion
of the image into MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion
contains loader code which copies the entire image to SDRAM
and jumps to it. From there the zImage boot code proceeds
as normal, uncompressing the image into its final location
and then jumping to it.

Russell, please consider merging this for 2.6.38.
This patch depends on:
* "mmc, sh: Move MMCIF_PROGRESS_* into sh_mmcif.h"
which will be merged though Paul Mundt's rmobile sh-2.6.
The absence of this patch will break the build if
the (new) CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF option is set.
There are no subtle side-effects.
v2:
Addressed comments by Magnus Damm
* Fix copyright in vrl4.c
* Fix use of #define CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF in mmcif-sh7372.c
* Initialise LED GPIO lines in head-ap4evb.txt instead of mmcif-sh7372.c
as this is considered board-specific.
v3:
Addressed comments made in person by Magnus Damm
* Move mmcif_loader to be earlier in the image and
reduce the number of blocks of boot program loaded by the MaskRom
from 40 to 8 accordingly.
* Move LED GPIO initialisation into mmcif_progress_init
- This leaves the partner jet script unbloated
Other
* inline mmcif_update_progress so it is a static inline in a header file
v4:
* Use htole16() and htole32() in v4rl.c to ensure
that the output is little endian
v5:
Addressed comments by Russell King
* Simplify assembly code
* Jump to code rather than an address <- bug fix

CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL
The code which makes up the zImage header intends to leave a
32-byte gap followed by a branch to the real entry point, a magic
number, and a word containing the absolute entry point address.
This gets messed up with with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, because the
size of the initial padding NOPs changes.
Instead, the header can be made fully compatible by restoring it to
ARM.
In the Thumb-2 case, we can replace the initial NOPs with a
sequence which switches to Thumb and jumps to the real entry point.
As a consequence, the zImage entry point is now always ARM, so no
special magic is needed any more for the uImage rules in the
Thumb-2 case.

bootp/init.S
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).
This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.
In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:
* .quad and .double:
.align 3
* .long, .word, .single, .float:
.align (or .align 2)
* .short:
No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
