SPEAr: Enable dcache for fast file transfer

2012-07-07T12:07:41Z

Enable data cache with 1:1 mapping of DDR to enable fast file transfer over tty which was doing lot of copy. This feature is enabled only for flashing operation i.e. when CONFIG_SPEAR_USBTTY is enabled. This has been tested on SPEAr320, SPEAr600 and SPEAr900 evaluation boards. Following figures show an estimate on the performance improvements. The test setup was a Linux host (not Windows) and involved measurement of only binary transfer time, through kermit. The flash erase and flash copy time would be unaffected by these patches. Another thing is this that the timings remained more or less same across ARM9 and Cortex based devices, hence reporting only one of the cases.

SPEAr: Initialize SNOR in early_board_init_f

2012-07-07T12:07:41Z

flash reading is required earlier than flash_init is called since the env_init is called before flash_init. This makes the smi_init necessary before env_init being called. Signed-off-by: Amit Virdi Acked-by: Stefan Roese Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese

SPEAr: Place ethaddr write and read within CONFIG_CMD_NET

2012-07-07T12:07:40Z

ethaddr can be optionally read from i2c memory. So, chip_config command supports reading/writing hw mac id into i2c memory. Placing this code within CONFIG_CMD_NET as this would only be needed when network interface is configured Signed-off-by: Vipin Kumar Signed-off-by: Amit Virdi Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese

SPEAr: Eliminate dependency on Xloader table

2012-07-07T12:07:40Z

Xloader table was used primarily to inform u-boot about the DDR size. However, now the ddr size is calculated at runtime which eliminates any need for the Xloader table. So removing this unnecessary code. Signed-off-by: Amit Virdi Acked-by: Stefan Roese Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese

SPEAr: Fix ARM relocation support

2012-07-07T12:07:39Z

While the u-boot code is running from the flash, it is essential that no access is made to the bss segment. This is due to the fact that .rel.dyn and .bss areas overlap and former contains information used in relocation. In SPEAr, this was not taken into consideration. As a result, while the relocation wasn't complete, dram_init populated an uninitialized global variable resulting in corruption of .rel.dyn area, which resulted in u-boot crash. This commit fixes this problem by removing code that accesses bss segment Signed-off-by: Amit Virdi Acked-by: Stefan Roese Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese

punt unused clean/distclean targets

2011-10-15T20:20:36Z

The top level Makefile does not do any recursion into subdirs when cleaning, so these clean/distclean targets in random arch/board dirs never get used. Punt them all. MAKEALL didn't report any errors related to this that I could see. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger

Switch from archive libraries to partial linking

2010-11-17T20:02:18Z

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols". This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended. This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is inspired. The name of each former library archive is preserved except for extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker scripts. This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but include source files that depend these disabled features in the build, resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include: - disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS; - enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE. Signed-off-by: Sebastien Carlier

cmd_usage(): simplify return code handling

2010-07-24T18:43:57Z

Lots of code use this construct: cmd_usage(cmdtp); return 1; Change cmd_usage() let it return 1 - then we can replace all these ocurrances by return cmd_usage(cmdtp); This fixes a few places with incorrect return code handling, too. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk
