Merge tag 'arc-updates-for-2018.07-rc1' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-arc

Here we do a couple of minor fixes like:
- Move .ivt section to the very beginning of the image
by default which allows us to use that image put right
at reset vector (usually 0x0)

- Improve relocation fix-up which became required once
we moved .ivt and understood a problem with existing implementation
where we relied on a particular placement of sections.
Now we don't care about placement because we just explicitly
check for .text and in case of ARCompact .ivt sections

- Re-implemnt do_reset() such that it calls reset_cpu() which
could implmented for a particular board

And hte most important part we introduce support for yet another
devboard from Synopsys - EMDK.

ARC: Improve relocation fix-ups

We used to have the one and only linker script for all ARC boards
and so we relied on a particular order of symbols there.

Because of that we used __ivt_end as the marker of the end of all the
code which won't be true any longer if we move .ivt section to any other
place. That said we'd better check for each section separately.

A couple of other improvements:
1. There's no point to include the marker of section end in interested
range because its address is beyond the section, i.e. we should
compare with "<" but not "<=".

2. .ivt section for ARCv2 cores is just an array of 32-bit ints and
they are not swapped even on little-endia cores while in case of
ARCompact cores .ivt contains valid code so swapping is required.

3. Just in case add check for ARC600 which is also ARCompact
and its .ivt is normal code.

SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Merge git://git.denx.de/u-boot-arc

Alexey:
1. Significantly rework cache-related functionality.
In particular that fixes coherency problems in some corner-cases,
allows us to enable and disable caches in run-time and still
have properly running system, finally support execution from
real flash (before we used to run from DDR from the very beginning).

2. Remove string routines implemented in assembly.
That allows us to build and run U-Boot on wide range of ARC cores
with different configurations. I.e. whatever tuning is used on GCC's
command-line we'll get code for desired flavor of ARC.
Otherwise for each and every corner-case we would need to add ifdefs
in assembly code to accommodate missing instructions etc.

3. Get use of GCC's garbage collector which helps to slim-down resulting image
quite a bit.

4. Also now we may disable U-Boot self-relocation for ARC if needed either
by platform or for debugging purposes.

arc: Introduce a possibility to not relocate U-boot

Disabling relocation might be useful on ARC for 2 reasons:
a) For advanced debugging with Synopsys proprietary MetaWare debugger
which is capable of accessing much more specific hardware resources
compared to gdb. For example it may show contents of L1 and L2 caches,
internal states of some hardware blocks etc.

But on the downside MetaWare debugger still cannot work with PIE.
Even though that limitation could be work-arounded with change of ELF's
header and stripping down all debug info but with it we won't have
debug info for source-level debugging which is quite inconvenient.

b) Some platforms which might benefit from usage of U-Boot basically
don't have enough RAM to accommodate relocation of U-Boot so we
keep code in flash and use as much of RAM as possible for more
interesting things.

arc: clean-up init procedure

Intention behind this work was elimination of as much assembly-written
code as it is possible.

In case of ARC we already have relocation fix-up implemented in C so why
don't we use C for U-Boot copying, .bss zeroing etc.

It turned out x86 uses pretty similar approach so we re-used parts of
code in "board_f.c" initially implemented for x86.

Now assembly usage during init is limited to stack- and frame-pointer
setup before and after relocation.

arc: introduce separate section for interrupt vector table

Even though existing implementation works fine in preparation to
submission of ARCv2 architecture we need this change.

In case of ARCv2 interrupt vector table consists of just addresses
of corresponding handlers. And if those addresses will be in .text
section then assembler will encode them as everything in .text section
as middle-endian and then on real execution CPU will read swapped
addresses and will jump into the wild.

Once introduced new section is situated so .text section remains the
first which allows us to use common linker option for linking everything
to a specified CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.

arc: fix relocation for big-endian target

In case of little-endian ARC700 instructions (which may include target
address) are encoded as middle-endian. That's why it's required to swap
bytes after read and ten right before write back.

But in case of big-endian ARC700 instructions are encoded as a plain
big-endian. Thus no need for byte swapping.
