2024-10-11T17:44:47+00:00

Use the new symbol to refer to any 'SPL' build, including TPL and VPL

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.

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

2024-04-10T23:06:27+00:00

Simon Glass  says:

This series is the culmanation of the current line of refactoring
series. It adjusts pxe to call the booting functionality directly
rather than going through the command-line interface.

With this is is possible to boot using the extlinux bootmeth without
the command line enabled.

It also updates fastboot to do a similar thing.

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.

mips: implement __udivdi3

2024-03-13T20:15:40+00:00

Squashfs wasn't compiling because the lldiv() directives
turn into __udivdi3 and we are using private libgcc.

After this squashfs compiles for MIPS.

mips: spl: Flush cache before jumping to U-Boot proper

2020-04-27T18:29:33+00:00

This patch adds a MIPS specific jump_to_image_no_args() implementation,
which flushes the U-Boot proper image loaded from the boot device in
SPL before jumping to it.

It has been noticed on MT76x8, that this cache flush is needed. Other
MIPS platforms might need it as well.

mips: cmd: go: Flush cache before jumping to app/image

2020-04-09T17:00:00+00:00

It has been noticed on MT7628/88 platforms, that booting the RAM image
does not work reliably. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Debugging
showed that this "might" be a cache related issue as very strange
errors occurred (e.g. output corrupted etc).

This patch adds a cache flush for the complete SDRAM area to the go cmd
before jumping to the entry point for the MIPS architecture. The
complete area is flushed as we don't know at this point, how big the
area of the "application" really is.

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.

MIPS: Stop building position independent code

2017-07-25T18:44:00+00:00

U-Boot has up until now built with -fpic for the MIPS architecture,
producing position independent code which uses indirection through a
global offset table, making relocation fairly straightforward as it
simply involves patching up GOT entries.

Using -fpic does however have some downsides. The biggest of these is
that generated code is bloated in various ways. For example, function
calls are indirected through the GOT & the t9 register:

  8f998064   lw     t9,-32668(gp)
  0320f809   jalr   t9

Without -fpic the call is simply:

  0f803f01   jal    be00fc04 

This is more compact & faster (due to the lack of the load & the
dependency the jump has on its result). It is also easier to read &
debug because the disassembly shows what function is being called,
rather than just an offset from gp which would then have to be looked up
in the ELF to discover the target function.

Another disadvantage of -fpic is that each function begins with a
sequence to calculate the value of the gp register, for example:

  3c1c0004   lui    gp,0x4
  279c3384   addiu  gp,gp,13188
  0399e021   addu   gp,gp,t9

Without using -fpic this sequence no longer appears at the start of each
function, reducing code size considerably.

This patch switches U-Boot from building with -fpic to building with
-fno-pic, in order to gain the benefits described above. The cost of
this is an extra step during the build process to extract relocation
data from the ELF & write it into a new .rel section in a compact
format, plus the added complexity of dealing with multiple types of
relocation rather than the single type that applied to the GOT. The
benefit is smaller, cleaner, more debuggable code. The relocate_code()
function is reimplemented in C to handle the new relocation scheme,
which also makes it easier to read & debug.

Taking maltael_defconfig as an example the size of u-boot.bin built
using the Codescape MIPS 2016.05-06 toolchain (gcc 4.9.2, binutils
2.24.90) shrinks from 254KiB to 224KiB.

MIPS: add handling for generic and EJTAG exceptions

2016-11-30T15:12:17+00:00

Add exception handlers for generic and EJTAG exceptions. Most of
the assembly code is imported from Linux kernel and adapted to U-Boot.
The exception vector table will be reserved above the stack before
U-Boot is relocated. The exception handlers will be installed and
activated after relocation in the initr_traps hook function.

Generic exceptions are handled by showing a CPU register dump similar
to Linux kernel. For example:

malta # md 1

EJTAG exceptions are checked for SDBBP and delegated to the SDBBP handler
if necessary. Otherwise the debug mode will simply be exited. The SDBBP
handler currently prints the contents of registers c0_depc and c0_debug.
This could be extended in the future to handle semi-hosting according to
the MIPS UHI specification.
