Revert "Merge patch series "pxe: Allow extlinux booting without CMDLINE enabled""

2024-04-18T14:29:35+00:00

As reported by Jonas Karlman this series breaks booting on some AArch64
platforms with common use cases. For now the best path forward is to
revert the series.

This reverts commit 777c28460947371ada40868dc994dfe8537d7115, reversing
changes made to ab3453e7b12daef47b9e91da2a2a3d48615dc6fc.

treewide: Make arch-specific bootm code depend on BOOTM

2024-04-10T23:04:25+00:00

Allow these functions to be compiled in when CONFIG_BOOTM is enabled,
even if CONFIG_CMD_BOOTM is not.

SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style

2018-05-07T13:34:12+00:00

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.

arc: Get rid of handwritten string routines

2018-03-21T13:21:34+00:00

U-Boot is a bit special piese of software because it is being
only executed once on power-on as compared to operating system
for example. That's why we don't care much about performance
optimizations instead we're more concerned about size. And up-to-date
compilers might produce much smaller code compared to
performance-optimized routines copy-pasted from the Linux kernel.

Here's an example:
------------------------------->8--------------------------
--- size_asm_strings.txt
+++ size_c_strings.txt
@@ -1,2 +1,2 @@
    text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
- 121260	   3784	   3308	 128352	  1f560	u-boot
+ 120448	   3784	   3308	 127540	  1f234	u-boot
------------------------------->8--------------------------

See we were able to shave off ~800 bytes of .text section.

Also usage of string routines implemented in C gives us an ability
to support more HW flavors for free: generated instructions will match
our target as long as correct compiler option is used.

arc: use timer driver for ARC boards

2017-03-24T11:47:52+00:00

This commit replaces legacy timer code with usage of arc timer
driver.

It removes arch/arc/lib/time.c file and selects CONFIG_CLK,
CONFIG_TIMER and CONFIG_ARC_TIMER options for all ARC boards by default.
Therefore we remove CONFIG_CLK option from less common axs101 and
axs103 defconfigs.

Also it removes legacy CONFIG_SYS_TIMER_RATE config symbol from
axs10x.h, tb100.h and nsim.h configs files as it is no longer required.

arc: No need in sections defined in sources with newer tools

2016-08-05T09:50:25+00:00

Starting from arc-2016.03 GNU tools linker properly works with
symbols defined in linker script and so external declarations
are no longer required, dump them.

arc: fix separate compilation of start.o

2015-04-10T16:22:40+00:00

While testing "arc: make sure _start is in the beginning of .text
section" I haven't done proper clean-up of built binaries and so missed
another tiny bit that lead to the following error:
 --->8---
    LD      u-boot
 arc-linux-ld.bfd: cannot find arch/arc/lib/start.o
 Makefile:1107: recipe for target 'u-boot' failed
 make: *** [u-boot] Error 1
 --->8---

Fix is trivial: put "start.o" in "extra-y".

arc: make sure _start is in the beginning of .text section

2015-04-10T15:45:34+00:00

This is important to have entry point in the beginning of .text section
because it allows simple loading and execution of U-Boot.

For example pre-bootloader loads U-Boot in memory starting from offset
0x81000000 and then just jumps to the same address.

Otherwise pre-bootloader would need to find-out where entry-point is. In
its turn if it deals with binary image of U-Boot there's no way for
pre-bootloader to get required value.

arc: clean-up init procedure

2015-04-03T06:47:49+00:00

Intention behind this work was elimination of as much assembly-written
code as it is possible.

In case of ARC we already have relocation fix-up implemented in C so why
don't we use C for U-Boot copying, .bss zeroing etc.

It turned out x86 uses pretty similar approach so we re-used parts of
code in "board_f.c" initially implemented for x86.

Now assembly usage during init is limited to stack- and frame-pointer
setup before and after relocation.

arc: move low-level interrupt and exception handlers in a separate file

2015-04-03T06:47:49+00:00

This separation makes maintenance of code easier because those low-level
interrupt- or exception handling routines are pretty static and usually
require not much care while start-up code is a subject of modifications
and enhancements.
