We can determine which of these we need given CPU_BIG_ENDIAN being
enabled or not, so move that logic to Kconfig from config.mk.

<content type='text'>
Align Kconfig and Kbuild logic to Linux 4.19 release with minimal impact
on files outside of this scope.

Our previous Kconfig sync was done by commit 5972ff077e0f ("kconfig /
kbuild: re-sync with Linux 4.18").

In this particular re-sync in order to keep clang support working a
number of related changes needed to be pulled in that had been missed
previously.  Not all of these changes we easily traceable and so have
been omitted from the list below.

The imported Linux commits are:
[From prior to v4.18]
9f3f1fd29976 kbuild: Add __cc-option macro
d7f14c66c273 kbuild: Enable Large File Support for hostprogs

f60b992e30ff kbuild: replace $(LDFLAGS) $(ldflags-y) with $(ld_flags)

c931d34ea085 arm64: build with baremetal linker target instead of Linux when available
5accd7f3360e kconfig: handle format string before calling conf_message_callback()
a2ff4040151a kconfig: rename file_write_dep and move it to confdata.c
0608182ad542 kconfig: split out useful helpers in confdata.c

98a4afbfafd2 kconfig: fix "Can't open ..." in parallel build
9a9ddcf47831 kconfig: suppress "configuration written to .config" for syncconfig

<title>ARC: rework setting of ARC CPU specific compiler options</title>

It's a very rare if at all existing occasion when ARC CPU template
is used as is w/o any changes - in the end it's a beauty and competitive
advantage of ARC cores to be tailored for a particular use-case - and
so it doesn't make a lot of sense to offer template-based "-mcpu" selection.
Given for each and every platform we end-up adding quite a few more flags
it's logical to move "-mcpu" selection to platform's definition as well
which we exactly do here.

<title>ARC: Don't use COMMON section for global not-initialized variables</title>

By default GCC puts global non-initialized variables in COMMON section.
And we used to ignore existence of COMMON section in our linker
scripts though smart LD silently appended it right after .bss.

And the problem here is variables from COMMON section even though
require zeroing in run-time were not zeroed as they were placed
right after __bss_end symbol.

It was a pure luck we never faced serious problem due to this,
but now it is fixed.

Now as for some other architectures we'll just force GCC to put
those global variables in normal .bss section.

This solution is much nicer than adding COMMON section to each and
every linker script.

<title>SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style</title>

<id>83d290c56fab2d38cd1ab4c4cc7099559c1d5046</id>
<content type='text'>
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Finally GCC's garbage collector works on ARC so let's use it.
That's what I may see for HSDK:

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 290153	  10068	 222616	 522837	  7fa55	u-boot

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 261999	   9460	 222360	 493819	  788fb	u-boot

Overall ~5% of memory footprint saved.

<title>arc: Fix final linkage with Elf32 tools</title>

<id>d53b128df40d8b2f5dd87cac194163fca2bc17ed</id>
<content type='text'>
ARC Elf32 tools by default enable usage of so-called "small data"
section or in ARC PRM parlance "GP-relative addressing".

The idea is to put up to 2kB of frequently used data into a separate
location and use indirect addressing via dedicated core register (GP).
Where GP is used as a base for offset calculation.

And so if "-msdata" toggle is passed to the compiler either explicitly
or implicitly (that's Elf32 tools case) it will try to put some data
in that "small data" area and then to calculate real offset from GP
to be encoded in instructions we need to know the base value which
liker gets from __SDATA_BEGIN__ symbol in hte linker script.

In U-Boot we don't use that feature and linker script doesn't define
__SDATA_BEGIN__ which gives us the following linkage error if we use
Elf32 tools:
-------------------------&gt;8-------------------
  LD      u-boot

ARC Elf32 tools by default enable usage of so-called "small data"
section or in ARC PRM parlance "GP-relative addressing".

The idea is to put up to 2kB of frequently used data into a separate
location and use indirect addressing via dedicated core register (GP).
Where GP is used as a base for offset calculation.

And so if "-msdata" toggle is passed to the compiler either explicitly
or implicitly (that's Elf32 tools case) it will try to put some data
in that "small data" area and then to calculate real offset from GP
to be encoded in instructions we need to know the base value which
liker gets from __SDATA_BEGIN__ symbol in hte linker script.

In U-Boot we don't use that feature and linker script doesn't define
__SDATA_BEGIN__ which gives us the following linkage error if we use
Elf32 tools:
