This adds 32bytes of space behind the image header (exception table
+ barebox magic) for board/SoC specific use. This can be used for
example to embed some extra information in a flashed image.

The comment above barebox_arm_entry promises to preserve the boarddata
variable passed to it which can then later get back with
barebox_arm_boarddata(). This function was missing so far, add it.

For making the same binary executable on different SoCs which have
different DRAM addresses we have to be independent of the compile
time link address.
This patch adds relocatable binary support for the ARM architecture.
With this two new functions are available. relocate_to_current_adr
will fixup the binary to continue executing from the current position.
relocate_to_adr will copy the binary to a given address, fixup the
binary and continue executing from there.
For the PBL and the real image relocatable support can be enabled
independently. This is done to (hopefully) better cope with setups
where the PBL runs from SRAM or ROM and the real binary does not.

With relocatable binaries the vector addresses cannot be supplied by
the linker. This adds support for fixing them up during runtime.
Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
With relocatable binaries the linker is not able to supply absolute
addresses. These only get available when the relocation function is
being run. Since for early initialization we need some variables
before relocation, we supply them relatively to some known address
in the binary. This means that the variables have to be converted
to absolute addresses during runtime.
This patch adds a C macro and an assembly macro to calculate the
variables during runtime.

Since recently with MMU_EARLY support it may happen that setup_c
runs with data caches enabled, so we have to make sure the caches
are flushed before we jump to the new binary.

When we have multi cpu support compiled in we need the cpu architecture
early so that we can pick the correct cacheflush function. Make it available
as static inline function and add a comment above it that this function
normally should not be used.

detect the cpu model to dynamise the periphs mapping
currently only tested on qemu but should work on real hardware
Cortex-A9
if you use 1GiB of ram you can run the same barebox on Cortex-A15 or Cortex-A9
otherwise use vexpress_ca9_defconfig where the TEXT_BASE is at 0x63f00000
when we will add the relocation support this defconfig will be drop

Memory is a precious resource, so it makes sense to make it available as
early as possible. By definition the lowlevel init code already knows where
to find memory because it's the lowlevel init code which sets up the memory.
Until all boards are converted this new entry is just a fallback to the old
entry point.

Hi Sascha,
I've made the changes you suggested in this resent patch.
Everything related to custom ATAGs has been moved to the board
directory.
The generic code does not make any references to feature lists or
bootloader versions.
About the setup_feature_list prototype:
it has been renamed to atag_appender
it's not a function, it's a pointer to a function. Can it have a
prototype other than it's own declaration?
All non-related changes has been dropped. They were checkpatch.pl
warnings unrelated to this patch.
Regards,
Vicente.

Sometimes Assembler beats C. In this case a small assembler
function called without parameters can:
- copy a binary to its link address
- clear the bss
- return to the same position in the copied binary

On some SoCs (for example AM35xx), the ROM bootloader passes useful
information in r0 when jumping to barebox.
To avoid overwriting this in the generic reset code, we introduce
common_reset as a C function and as an assembler macro. This is then
called form the reset entry point (either in common or in board code).
This patch is based on code by Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>.

The current approach to get the offset between link and runtime address
is fragile. It requires a big fat comment to put no code above it and it
requires an extra linker section. Instead use a small assembler function.
