While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function. This
function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
vs. getgrent_r, etc.).
Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.
To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

All these linker scripts can be removed since the new common ppc4xx
linker script should be able to handle all of those boards.
Please test and report problems. Thanks.

The following changes allow U-Boot to fully relocate from flash to
RAM:
- Remove linker scripts' .fixup sections from the .text section
- Add -mrelocatable to PLATFORM_RELFLAGS for all boards
- Define CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS for all boards
Previously, U-Boot would partially relocate, but statically initialized
pointers needed to be manually relocated.

The latest PPC4xx register cleanup patch missed the UIC defines.
This patch now changes lower case UIC defines to upper case.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>
This patch cleans up multiple issues of the 4xx register (mostly
DCR, SDR, CPR, etc) definitions:
- Change lower case defines to upper case (plb4_acr -> PLB4_ACR)
- Change the defines to better match the names from the
user's manuals (e.g. cprpllc -> CPR0_PLLC)
- Removal of some unused defines
Please test this patch intensive on your PPC4xx platform. Even though
I tried not to break anything and tested successfully on multiple
4xx AMCC platforms, testing on custom platforms is recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Change all linker scripts to reference the changed driver name 4xx_uart.o.
Note: In most cased all these explicit referencing of these object files
in the linker scripts is not neccessary. Only for manually embedded
environment into the U-Boot image, which is not done is most cases.

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.
