Currently cpu_init_interrupts() is called from cpu_init_r() to
setup the interrupt and exception of the cpu core, but at that
time the i8259 has not been initialized to mask all the irqs
and remap the master i8259 interrupt vector base, so the whole
system is at risk of being interrupted, and if interrupted,
wrong interrupt/exception message is shown.

Implement SDRAM init using the Memory Reference Code (mrc.bin) provided in
the board directory and the SDRAM SPD information in the device tree. This
also needs the Intel Management Engine (me.bin) to work. Binary blobs
everywhere: so far we have MRC, ME and microcode.
SDRAM init works by setting up various parameters and calling the MRC. This
in turn does some sort of magic to work out how much memory there is and
the timing parameters to use. It also sets up the DRAM controllers. When
the MRC returns, we use the information it provides to map out the
available memory in U-Boot.
U-Boot normally moves itself to the top of RAM. On x86 the RAM is not
generally contiguous, and anyway some RAM may be above 4GB which doesn't
work in 32-bit mode. So we relocate to the top of the largest block of
RAM we can find below 4GB. Memory above 4GB is accessible with special
functions (see physmem).
It would be possible to build U-Boot in 64-bit mode but this wouldn't
necessarily provide any more memory, since the largest block is often below
4GB. Anyway U-Boot doesn't need huge amounts of memory - even a very large
ramdisk seldom exceeds 100-200MB. U-Boot has support for booting 64-bit
kernels directly so this does not pose a limitation in that area. Also there
are probably parts of U-Boot that will not work correctly in 64-bit mode.
The MRC is one.
There is some work remaining in this area. Since memory init is very slow
(over 500ms) it is possible to save the parameters in SPI flash to speed it
up next time. Suspend/resume support is not fully implemented, or at least
it is not efficient.
With this patch, link boots to a prompt.

At present stdio device functions do not get any clue as to which stdio
device is being acted on. Some implementations go to great lengths to work
around this, such as defining a whole separate set of functions for each
possible device.
For driver model we need to associate a stdio_dev with a device. It doesn't
seem possible to continue with this work-around approach.
Instead, add a stdio_dev pointer to each of the stdio member functions.
Note: The serial drivers have the same problem, but it is not strictly
necessary to fix that to get driver model running. Also, if we convert

U-Boot has supported two kinds of asm-offsets.h.
One is generic for all architectures and its source is located at
./lib/asm-offsets.c.
The other is SoC specific and its source is under SoC directory.
The problem here is that only boards with SoC directory can use
the asm-offsets infrastructure.
Putting asm-offsets.c right under CPU directory does not work.
Now a new demand is coming. PowerPC folks want to use asm-offsets.
But no PowerPC boards have SoC directory.
It seems inconsistent that some boards add asm-offsets.c to SoC
directoreis and some to CPU directories.
It looks more reasonable to put asm-offsets.c under arch/$(ARCH)/lib.
This commit merges asm-offsets.c under SoC directories into
arch/$(ARCH)/lib/asm-offsets.c.
By the way, I doubt the necessity of some entries in asm-offsets.c.

This commit changes the working directory
where the build process occurs.
Before this commit, build process occurred under the source
tree for both in-tree and out-of-tree build.
That's why we needed to add $(obj) prefix to all generated
files in makefiles like follows:
$(obj)u-boot.bin: $(obj)u-boot
Here, $(obj) is empty for in-tree build, whereas it points
to the output directory for out-of-tree build.
And our old build system changes the current working directory
with "make -C <sub-dir>" syntax when descending into the
sub-directories.
On the other hand, Kbuild uses a different idea
to handle out-of-tree build and directory descending.
The build process of Kbuild always occurs under the output tree.
When "O=dir/to/store/output/files" is given, the build system
changes the current working directory to that directory and
restarts the make.
Kbuild uses "make -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.build obj=<sub-dir>"
syntax for descending into sub-directories.
(We can write it like "make $(obj)=<sub-dir>" with a shorthand.)
This means the current working directory is always the top
of the output directory.

2. do_elf_reloc_fixups():

Here the __text_start is 0 in the file:

1111da4: 81 ef 00 00 00 00 sub $0x0,%edi

Implement arch_phys_memset so that it can set memory at physical addresses
above 4GB using PAE paging. Because there are only 5 page tables in PAE mode,
1 PDPT and 4 PDTs, those tables are statically allocated in the BSS. The
tables must be 4K page aligned and are declared that way, and because U-Boot
starts as 4K aligned and the relocation code relocates it to a 4K aligned
address, the tables work as intended.
While paging is turned on, all 4GB are identity mapped except for one 2MB
page which is used as the window into high memory. This way, U-Boot will
continue to work as expected when running code that expects to access memory
freely, but the code can still get at high memory through its window.
The window is put at 2MB so that it's 2MB page aligned, low in memory to be
out of the way of things U-Boot is likely to care about, and above the lowest
1MB where lots of random things live.

- Added commit message
This patch moves towards reducing board.c to simply a set of init cores for
the three initialisation phases (Flash, Flash/RAM, and RAM), a set of three
init function arrays and a init function array processing function
Use the base address of the 'F' segment as a pointer to the global data
structure. By adding the linear address (i.e. the 'D' segment address) as
the first word of the global data structure, the address of the global data
relative to the 'D' segment can be found simply, for example, by:
fs movl 0, %eax
This makes the gd 'pointer' writable prior to relocation (by reloading the
Global Desctriptor Table) which brings x86 into line with all other arches
NOTE: Writing to the gd 'pointer' is expensive (but we only do it
twice) but using it to access global data members (read and write) is
still fairly cheap

If vboot successfully verifies a kernel, it will leave it in place and

because the image is already in place there's no need to copy it around.
This change refactors the code which implements the zboot command so that
the configuration of the zeropage table and loading the pieces of the
kernel into memory are done separately. Also, because the command line goes

When gcc compiles some 64 bit operations on a 32 bit machine, it generates
calls to small functions instead of instructions which do the job directly.
Those functions are defined in libgcc and transparently provide whatever
functionality was necessary. Unfortunately, u-boot can be built with a
non-standard ABI when libgcc isn't. More specifically, u-boot uses
-mregparm. When the u-boot and libgcc are linked together, very confusing
bugs can crop up, for instance seemingly normal integer division or modulus
getting the wrong answer or even raising a spurious divide by zero
exception.
This change borrows (steals) a technique and some code from coreboot which
solves this problem by creating wrappers which translate the calling
convention when calling the functions in libgcc. Unfortunately that means
that these instructions which had already been turned into functions have
even more overhead, but more importantly it makes them work properly.
To find all of the functions that needed wrapping, u-boot was compiled
without linking in libgcc. All the symbols the linker complained were
undefined were presumed to be the symbols that are needed from libgcc.
These were a subset of the symbols covered by the coreboot code, so it was
used unmodified.
To prevent symbols which are provided by libgcc but not currently wrapped
(or even known about) from being silently linked against by code generated
by libgcc, a new copy of libgcc is created where all the symbols are
prefixed with __normal_. Without being purposefully wrapped, these symbols
will cause linker errors instead of silently introducing very subtle,
confusing bugs.
Another approach would be to whitelist symbols from libgcc and strip out
all the others. The problem with this approach is that it requires the
white listed symbols to be specified three times, once for objcopy, once so
the linker inserts the wrapped, and once to generate the wrapper itself,
while this implementation needs it to be listed only twice. There isn't
much tangible difference in what each approach produces, so this one was
preferred.

There are two blobs embedded into the u-boot image which are linked to run
at an address which is different from where they actually end up in the
ROM, one called "realmode" and one called "bios". There are realmode_setup
and bios_setup functions which prepare those blobs by copying them into the
location they're supposed to run from, among other things.
During u-boot relocation from ROM to RAM, the text and a few data segments
are copied over. The realmode and bios sections are not copied, and so the
only place they can be read from is their original location in the ROM.
Looking specifically at the bios blob, there are symbols defined in the
linker script called __bios_start and __bios_size which are defined to be
the start and size of the blob in the ROM.
In the bios_setup function, there seem to be two mistakes happening. First,
the offset from ROM to RAM is being added to __bios_start which implies that
this code expects to use the copy moved to RAM. No such copy is made, so
that's wrong. More subtly, when u-boot relocates itself, it goes through
all of the relocations stored in .rel.dyn and fixes them up. This has the
effect of transforming the __bios_start reference in bios_setup so that it
refers to the version in RAM (if one existed) instead of the one in ROM. To
correct for that, the offset actually needs to be subtracted out again to
translate the address back into the ROM.
The net effect is that for both blobs, a + needs to be changed to a -.
