Everything required to populate NVIDIA Tegra devices from the device
tree. This patch adds a new DT_MACHINE_DESC() which matches against
a tegra20 device tree. So far it only registers the on-chip devices,
but it will be refined in follow on patches to configure clocks and
pin IO from the device tree also.

For testing the dt work, define a dt-enabled versatile platform.
This patch adds a new versatile platform for when using the device
tree. Add platform and amba devices are discovered and registered by
parsing the device tree. Clocks and initial io mappings are still
configured statically.
This patch still depends on some static platform_data for a few devices
which is passed via the auxdata structure to of_platform_populate(),
but it is a viable starting point until the drivers can get all
configuration data out of the device tree.

Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.
This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.
Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.
A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

SiRFprimaII is the latest generation application processor from CSR’s
Multifunction SoC product family. Designed around an ARM cortex A9 core,
high-speed memory bus, advanced 3D accelerator and full-HD multi-format
video decoder, SiRFprimaII is able to meet the needs of complicated
applications for modern multifunction devices that require heavy concurrent
applications and fluid user experience. Integrated with GPS baseband,
analog and PMU, this new platform is designed to provide a cost effective
solution for Automotive and Consumer markets.
This patch adds the basic support for this SoC and EVB board based on device
tree. It is following the ZYNQ of Xilinx in some degree.

Place read-only data in a .rodata output section, and the compressed
piggy data in .piggydata. Place the .got.plt section before the .got
section as is standard ELF practise.
This allows the piggydata to be more easily extracted from the
compressed vmlinux file for verification purposes.

This allows a ROM-able zImage to be written to eSD and for SuperH Mobile
ARM to boot directly from the SDHI hardware block.
This is achieved by the MaskROM loading the first portion of the image into
MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion contains loader code which
copies the entire image to SDRAM and jumps to it. From there the zImage
boot code proceeds as normal, uncompressing the image into its final
location and then jumping to it.

It is easy to mis-maintain the proc_types table such that the
entries become wrongly-sized and misaligned when the kernel is
built in Thumb-2.
This patch adds an assembly-time check which will turn most common
size/alignment mistakes in this table into build failures, to avoid
having to debug the boot-time kernel hang which would happen if the
resulting kernel were actually booted.

The 1st board support is minimal to get a system up and running
on the Xilinx platform.
This platform reuses the clock implementation from plat-versatile, and
it depends entirely on CONFIG_OF support. There is only one board
support file which obtains all device information from a device tree
dtb file which is passed to the kernel at boot time.

To be able to relocate the .bss section at run time independently from
the rest of the code, we must make sure that no GOTOFF relocations are
used with .bss symbols. This usually means that no global variables can
be marked static unless they're also const.
To enforce this, suffice to fail the build whenever a private symbol
is allocated to .bss and list those symbols for convenience.
The user_stack and user_stack_end labels in head.S were converted into
non exported symbols to remove false positives.

In commit d239b1dc093d the hardcoded 4x estimate for the decompressed
kernel size was replaced by the exact Image file size and passed to
the linker as a symbol value. Turns out that this is unneeded as the
size is already included at the end of the compressed piggy data.
For those compressed formats that don't include this data, the build
system already takes care of appending it using size_append in
scripts/Makefile.lib. So let's use that instead.

If the zImage load address is slightly below the relocation address,
there is a risk for the copied data to overwrite the copy loop or
cache flush code that the relocation process requires. Always
bump the relocation address by the size of that code to avoid this
issue.
Noticed by Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>.
While at it, let's start the copy from the restart symbol which makes
the above code size computation possible by the assembler directly
(same sections), given that we don't need to preserve the code before
that point anyway. And therefore we don't need to carry the _start
pointer in r5 anymore.

The inline assembly differences for v6 vs. v7 are purely
optimizations. On a v7 processor, an mrc with the pc sets the
condition codes to the 28-31 bits of the register being read. It
just so happens that the TX/RX full bits the DCC support code is
testing for are high enough in the register to be put into the
condition codes. On a v6 processor, this "feature" isn't
implemented and thus we have to do the usual read, mask, test
operations to check for TX/RX full. Thus, we can drop the v7
implementation and just use the v6 implementation for both.

We currently presume a 4x expansion to guess the decompressed kernel size
in order to determine if the decompressed kernel is in conflict with
the location where zImage is loaded. This guess may cause many issues
by overestimating the final kernel image size:
- This may force a needless relocation if the location of zImage was
fine, wasting some precious microseconds of boot time.
- The relocation may be located way too far, possibly overwriting the
initrd image in RAM.
- If the kernel image includes a large already-compressed initramfs image
then the problem is even more exacerbated.
And if by some strange means the 4x guess is too low then we may overwrite
ourselves with the decompressed image.
So let's use the exact decompressed kernel image size instead. For that
we need to rely on the stat command, but this is hardly a new build
dependency as the kernel already depends on many external commands
to be built provided by the coreutils package where stat is found.

In the case of a conflict between the memory used by the compressed
kernel with its decompressor code and the memory used for the
decompressed kernel, we currently store the later after the former and
relocate it afterwards.
This would be more efficient to do this the other way around i.e.
relocate the compressed data up front instead, resulting in a smaller
copy. That also has the advantage of making the code smaller and more
straight forward.

Russell, please consider merging this for 2.6.38.
This patch depends on:
* "mmc, sh: Move MMCIF_PROGRESS_* into sh_mmcif.h"
which will be merged though Paul Mundt's rmobile sh-2.6.
The absence of this patch will break the build if
the (new) CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF option is set.
There are no subtle side-effects.
v2:
Addressed comments by Magnus Damm
* Fix copyright in vrl4.c
* Fix use of #define CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF in mmcif-sh7372.c
* Initialise LED GPIO lines in head-ap4evb.txt instead of mmcif-sh7372.c
as this is considered board-specific.
v3:
Addressed comments made in person by Magnus Damm
* Move mmcif_loader to be earlier in the image and
reduce the number of blocks of boot program loaded by the MaskRom
from 40 to 8 accordingly.
* Move LED GPIO initialisation into mmcif_progress_init
- This leaves the partner jet script unbloated
Other
* inline mmcif_update_progress so it is a static inline in a header file
v4:
* Use htole16() and htole32() in v4rl.c to ensure
that the output is little endian

CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL
The code which makes up the zImage header intends to leave a
32-byte gap followed by a branch to the real entry point, a magic
number, and a word containing the absolute entry point address.
This gets messed up with with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, because the
size of the initial padding NOPs changes.
Instead, the header can be made fully compatible by restoring it to
ARM.
In the Thumb-2 case, we can replace the initial NOPs with a
sequence which switches to Thumb and jumps to the real entry point.
As a consequence, the zImage entry point is now always ARM, so no
special magic is needed any more for the uImage rules in the
Thumb-2 case.
