Makefile: honor PYTHON configuration properly

2017-08-20T13:53:13+00:00

On some systems `python` is `python3` (for instance, Archlinux). The
`PYTHON` variable can be used to point to `python2` to have a successful
build.

The use of `PYTHON` is currently limited in the Makefile and needs to be
extended in other places:

First, pylibfdt is required to be a Python 2 binding (binman imports
pylibfdt and is only compatible Python 2), so its setup.py needs to be
called accordingly. An alternative would be to change the libfdt
setup.py shebang to python2, but the binding is actually portable. Also,
it would break on system where there is no such thing as `python2`.

Secondly, the libfdt import checks need to be done against Python 2 as
well since the Python 2 compiled modules (in this case _libdft.so) can
not be imported from Python 3.

Note on the libfdt imports: "@if ! PYTHONPATH=tools $(PYTHON) -c 'import
libfdt'; then..." is probably simpler than the currently sub-optimal
pipe.

env: Rename setenv() to env_set()

2017-08-16T12:22:18+00:00

We are now using an env_ prefix for environment functions. Rename setenv()
for consistency. Also add function comments in common.h.

Move environment files from common/ to env/

About a quarter of the files in common/ relate to the environment. It
seems better to put these into their own subdirectory and remove the
prefix.

mips-relocs: Fix warning from gcc 6.3

2017-07-25T18:44:38+00:00

It seems that gcc 6.3 at least is smart enough to warn about the _val
variable being unassigned in the default case in the set_hdr_field()
macro, but not smart enough to figure out that the default case is never
taken. This results in warnings such as the following:

  pfx##hdr32[idx].field = _val;   \
                          ^
 ../tools/mips-relocs.c:51:11: note: _val was declared here
   uint64_t _val;      \
            ^
 ../tools/mips-relocs.c:88:2: note: in expansion of macro set_hdr_field
   set_hdr_field(p, idx, field, val)
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
 ../tools/mips-relocs.c:408:3: note: in expansion of macro set_phdr_field
    set_phdr_field(i, p_filesz, load_sz);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 ../tools/mips-relocs.c: In function main:
 ../tools/mips-relocs.c:77:25: warning: _val may be used uninitialized
    in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Avoid this by assigning _val = 0 in the default case, and asserting that
we didn't actually hit it for good measure.

For reference gcc 7.1.1 seems to be smart enough to not hit the above
warning without this patch.

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.

RFC: moveconfig: Use toolchains from buildman

2017-07-23T02:22:46+00:00

It is annoying to have to set up and maintain two sets of toolchains, one
for buildman and one for moveconfig.

Adjust moveconfig to make use to buildman's toolchains. This should make
things easier.

One missing feature is the ability to specify the toolchain on the command
line with a special environment variable, e.g. CROSS_COMPILE_ARM. I'm not
sure if that is useful, but if it is it could be implemented in buildman.
