relocation: Do not relocate NULL pointers.

2009-10-08T07:33:36+00:00

NULL is an absolute value and should not be relocated.
After this correction code like:
 void weak_fun(void) __attribute__((weak));
 printf("weak_fun:%p\n", weak_fun);
will still print null after relocation.

ppc: Enable full relocation to RAM

2009-10-03T08:15:45+00:00

The following changes allow U-Boot to fully relocate from flash to
RAM:
 - Remove linker scripts' .fixup sections from the .text section
 - Add -mrelocatable to PLATFORM_RELFLAGS for all boards
 - Define CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS for all boards

Previously, U-Boot would partially relocate, but statically initialized
pointers needed to be manually relocated.

Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sections

2009-03-20T21:39:12+00:00

A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script.  Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.

However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering.  The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file.  This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.

This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified.  Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)

I change this to:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))

This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

pci: Rename PCI_REGION_MEMORY to PCI_REGION_SYS_MEMORY for clarity

2009-02-07T22:50:04+00:00

The PCI_REGION_MEMORY and PCI_REGION_MEM are a bit to similar and
can be confusing when reading the code.

Rename PCI_REGION_MEMORY to PCI_REGION_SYS_MEMORY to clarify its used
for system memory mapping purposes.

cpu/mpc824x/Makefile: fix warning with parallel builds

2009-01-14T21:35:30+00:00

Parallel builds would occasionally issue this build warning:

    ln: creating symbolic link `cpu/mpc824x/bedbug_603e.c': File exists

Use "ln -sf" as quick work around for the issue.

i2c: merge all i2c_reg_read() and i2c_reg_write() into inline functions

2008-12-15T22:46:21+00:00

All implementations of the functions i2c_reg_read() and
i2c_reg_write() are identical. We can save space and simplify the
code by converting these functions into inlines and putting them in
i2c.h.

Align end of bss by 4 bytes

2008-11-18T22:13:16+00:00

Most of the bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes
at a time. And the loop end is checked for an 'equal'
condition. Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so
that the loop will end as expected.
