[MIPS] Fix $gp usage

2007-10-21T01:55:36+00:00

Now we load $gp with _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, but this is incorrect use.
As a general principle, we should use _gp for $gp.

Thanks to linker script's help we fortunately have _gp which equals to
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. But once _gp gets out of alignment, we will not
be able to access to GOT entires, global variables and procedure entry
points. The right thing to do is to use _gp.

This patch also introduce a new symbol `.gpword _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_'
which holds the offset from _gp. When updating GOT entries, we use this
offset and _gp to calculate the final _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.

This patch is originally submitted by Vlad Lungu , then
I made some change to leave over num_got_entries.

Fix U-Boot compilation for MIPS boards using ELDK 4.0

2005-12-01T01:15:07+00:00

Prepare for SoC rework of ARM code:

2005-04-02T23:52:25+00:00

- rename CONFIG_BOOTBINFUNC into  CONFIG_INIT_CRITICAL
- rename memsetup into lowlevel_init (function name and source files)

* Patch by liang a lei, 9 Jan 2004:

2004-02-07T01:27:10+00:00

  Fix Intel 28F128J3 ID in include/flash.h

* Patch by Masami Komiya, 09 Jan 2004:
  add support for TB0229 board (NEC VR4131 MIPS processor)

* Patch by Leon Kukovec, 12 Dec 2003:
  changed extern __inline__ into static __inline__ in
  include/linux/byteorder/swab.h

* Implement new mechanism to export U-Boot's functions to standalone

2003-07-24T23:38:38+00:00

  applications: instead of using (PPC-specific) system calls we now
  use a jump table; please see doc/README.standalone for details

* Patch by Dave Westwood, 24 Jul 2003:
  added support for Unity OS (a proprietary OS)

* Code cleanup:

2003-06-27T21:31:46+00:00

  - remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
  - split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)

* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
  - major rework of command structure
    (work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)

* Get (mostly) rid of CFG_MONITOR_LEN definition; compute real length

2003-05-30T12:48:29+00:00

  instead CFG_MONITOR_LEN is now only used to determine  _at_compile_
  _time_  (!) if the environment is embedded within the U-Boot image,
  or in a separate flash sector.

* Cleanup CFG_DER #defines in config files (wd maintained only)

* Patch by Arun Dharankar, 4 Apr 2003:

2003-04-05T00:53:31+00:00

  Add IDMA example code (tested on 8260 only)

* Add support for Purple Board (MIPS64 5Kc)

* Add support for MIPS64 5Kc CPUs

* Fix missing setting of "loadaddr" and "bootfile" on ARM and MIPS

* Patch by Denis Peter, 04 Apr 2003:
  - update MIP405-4 board

* Patches by Denis Peter, 03 April 2003:
  - fix PCI IRQs on MPL boards
  - fix two more un-relocated pointer problems

* Fix behaviour of "run" command:
  - print error message iv variable does not exist
  - terminate processing of arguments in case of error

* Patches by Peter Figuli, 10 Mar 2003
  - Add support for BTUART on PXA platform
  - Add support for WEP EP250 (PXA) board

* Fix flash problems on INCA-IP; add tool to allow bruning images  to
  flash using a BDI2000

* Implement fix for I2C Edge Conditions problem for all boards that
  use the bit-banging driver (common/soft_i2c.c)

* Add patches by Robert Schwebel, 31 Mar 2003:
  - csb226 board: bring in sync with innokom/memsetup.S
  - csb226 board: fix MDREFR handling
  - misc doc fixes / extensions
  - innokom board: cleanup, MDREFR fix in memsetup.S, config update
  - add BOOT_PROGRESS to armlinux.c
