dfcd7f2160 Redundant Environment: protect full sector size
Several boards used different ways to specify the size of the
protected area when enabling flash write protection for the sectors
holding the environment variables: some used CONFIG_ENV_SIZE and
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND, some used CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, and some even
a mix of both for the "normal" and the "redundant" areas.

Normally, this makes no difference at all. However, things are
different when you have to deal with boards that can come with
different types of flash chips, which may have different sector
sizes.

Here we may have to chose CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE such that it fits the
biggest sector size, which may include several sectors on boards using
the smaller sector flash types. In such a case, using CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
or CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND to enable the protection may lead to the
case that only the first of these sectors get protected, while the
following ones aren't.

This is no real problem, but it can be confusing for the user -
especially on boards that use CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE to protect the
"normal" areas, while using CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND for the
"redundant" area.

To avoid such inconsistencies, I changed all sucn boards that I found
to consistently use CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE for protection. This should
not cause any functional changes to the code.

f62fb99941 Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sections
A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script.  Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.

However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering.  The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file.  This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.

This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified.  Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)

I change this to:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))

This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

9b827cf172 Align end of bss by 4 bytes
Most of the bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes
at a time. And the loop end is checked for an 'equal'
condition. Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so
that the loop will end as expected.

9973e3c614 Change initdram() return type to phys_size_t
This patch changes the return type of initdram() from long int to phys_size_t.
This is required for a couple of reasons: long int limits the amount of dram
to 2GB, and u-boot in general is moving over to phys_size_t to represent the
size of physical memory.  phys_size_t is defined as an unsigned long on almost
all current platforms.

This patch *only* changes the return type of the initdram function (in
include/common.h, as well as in each board's implementation of initdram).  It
does not actually modify the code inside the function on any of the platforms;
platforms which wish to support more than 2GB of DRAM will need to modify
their initdram() function code.

Build tested with MAKEALL for ppc, arm, mips, mips-el. Booted on powerpc
MPC8641HPCN.

53677ef18e Big white-space cleanup.
This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).

Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.

64134f0112 Fix linker scripts: add NOLOAD atribute to .bss/.sbss sections
With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because
or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with
ELDK 4.2 beta):
ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab]

For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around
at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not
be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On
some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different
optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above.

The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss
sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in
the image.

f93286397e Add support for a saving build objects in a separate directory.
Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:

  1) Add O= to the make command line
  'make O=/tmp/build all'

  2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
  'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
  'make'

The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'

Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.

When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
