armv8/fsl_lsch3: Change arch to fsl-layerscape

2015-10-29T17:34:00+00:00

There are two LS series processors are built on ARMv8 Layersacpe
architecture currently, LS2085A and LS1043A. They are based on
ARMv8 core although use different chassis, so create fsl-layerscape
to refactor the common code for the LS series processors which also
paves the way for adding LS1043A platform.

Add support for LZ4 decompression algorithm

2015-10-11T21:12:10+00:00

This patch adds support for LZ4-compressed FIT image contents. This
algorithm has a slightly worse compression ration than LZO while being
nearly twice as fast to decompress. When loading images from a fast
storage medium this usually results in a boot time win.

Sandbox-tested only since I don't have a U-Boot development system set
up right now. The code was imported unchanged from coreboot where it's
proven to work, though. I'm mostly interested in getting this recognized
by mkImage for use in a downstream project.

Move ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER() to the new memalign.h header

2015-09-11T21:15:20+00:00

Now that we have a new header file for cache-aligned allocation, we should
move the stack-based allocation macro there also.

Move malloc_cache_aligned() to its own header

2015-09-11T21:15:16+00:00

At present malloc.h is included everywhere since it recently was added to
common.h in this commit:

   4519668 mtd/nand/ubi: assortment of alignment fixes

This seems wasteful and unnecessary. We have been trying to trim down
common.h and put separate functions into separate header files and that
change goes in the opposite direction.

Move malloc_cache_aligned() to a new header so that this can be avoided.
The header would perhaps be better named as alignmem.h but it needs to be
included after common.h and people might be confused by this. With the name
memalign.h it fits nicely after malloc() in most cases.

mtd/nand/ubi: assortment of alignment fixes

2015-08-28T16:33:17+00:00

Various U-Boot adoptions/extensions to MTD/NAND/UBI did not take buffer
alignment into account which led to failures of the following form:

ERROR: v7_dcache_inval_range - start address is not aligned - 0x1f7f0108
ERROR: v7_dcache_inval_range - stop address is not aligned - 0x1f7f1108

Allow arch-specific setting of global_data in board_init_f_mem()

2015-08-14T15:50:10+00:00

At present we have a simple assignment to gd. With some archs this is
implemented as a register or through some other means; a simple assignment
does not suit in all cases.

Change this to a function and add documentation to describe how this all
works.

efi: Add support for loading U-Boot through an EFI stub

2015-08-05T14:44:06+00:00

It is useful to be able to load U-Boot onto a board even if is it already
running EFI. This can allow access to the U-Boot command interface, flexible
booting options and easier development.

The easiest way to do this is to build U-Boot as a binary blob and have an
EFI stub copy it into RAM. Add support for this feature, targeting 32-bit
initially.

Also add a way to detect when U-Boot has been loaded via a stub. This goes
in common.h since it needs to be widely available so that we avoid redoing
initialisation that should be skipped.

Add a way of checking the position of a structure member

2015-07-21T23:39:21+00:00

U-Boot uses structures for hardware access so it is important that these
structures are correct. Add a way of asserting that a structure member is
at a particular offset. This can be created using the datasheet for the
hardware.

This implementation uses Static_assert() since BUILD_BUG_ON() only works
within functions.
