We have some scripts imported from Linux Kernel:
setlocalversion, checkstack.pl, checkpatch.pl, cleanpatch
They are located under tools/ directory in U-Boot now.
But they were originally located under scripts/ directory
in Linux Kernel.
This commit moves them to the original location.
It is true that binutils-version.sh and dtc-version.sh
do not originate in Linux Kernel, but they should
be moved by analogy to gcc-version.sh.

This file must be compiled with system headers, even if U-Boot has headers
of the same name. The existing solution for this is good enough for libfdt,
but fails when we have headers like stdint.h in U-Boot.
Use -idirafter instead of -I, and remove the -nostdinc and other things
that we don't want for this file. The best way to do this is to keep a
copy of the original flags, rather than trying to filter them later.

For most boards which define CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO,
it is defined in config header files.
Currently, there exists only one exception, cam_enc_4xx board.
This patch moves CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO definition
from board/ait/cam_enc_4xx/config.mk
to include/configs/cam_enc_4xx.h.
With this modification, we can delete a glue code

Add mkimage support for generating and verifying MXS bootstream.
The implementation here is mostly a glue code between MXSSB v0.4
and mkimage, but the long-term goal is to rectify this and merge
MXSSB with mkimage more tightly. Once this code is properly in
U-Boot, MXSSB shall be deprecated in favor of mkimage-mxsimage
support.
Note that the mxsimage generator needs libcrypto from OpenSSL, I
therefore enabled the libcrypto/libssl unconditionally.

Due to the nand SPL on some board(e.g. P1022DS)has a size limit, it can
not be more than 4K. So, the SPL cannot initialize the DDR with the SPD
code. This patch introduces TPL to enable a loader stub that is loaded
by the code from the SPL. It initializes the DDR with the SPD or other
operations.
The TPL's size is sizeable, the maximum size is decided by the memory's
size that TPL runs. It initializes the DDR through SPD code, and copys
final uboot image to DDR. So there are three stage uboot images:
* spl_boot, * tpl_boot, * final uboot image

SPL defines CONFIG_SPL_BUILD but this does not percolate to the
autoconf.mk Makefile. As a result the build breaks when
CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is used in the board-specific include header file. With
this, there is a possibility of having a CONFIG option defined in the
header file but not defined in the Makefile causing all kinds of build
failure and problems.
It also messes things for up, for example, when one might want to
undefine options to keep the SPL small and doesn't want to be stuck with
the CONFIG options used for U-boot. Lastly, this also avoids defining
special CONFIG_SPL_ variables for cases where some options are required
in U-boot but not in SPL.
We add a spl-autoconf.mk rule that is generated for SPL with the
CONFIG_SPL_BUILD flag and conditionally include it for SPL builds.

Like many other projects, U-Boot has a tradition of including big
blocks of License headers in all files. This not only blows up the
source code with mostly redundant information, but also makes it very
difficult to generate License Clearing Reports. An additional problem
is that even the same lincenses are referred to by a number of
slightly varying text blocks (full, abbreviated, different
indentation, line wrapping and/or white space, with obsolete address
information, ...) which makes automatic processing a nightmare.
To make this easier, such license headers in the source files will be
replaced with a single line reference to Unique Lincense Identifiers
as defined by the Linux Foundation's SPDX project [1]. For example,
in a source file the full "GPL v2.0 or later" header text will be
replaced by a single line:
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
We use the SPDX Unique Lincense Identifiers here; these are available
at [2].
Note: From the legal point of view, this patch is supposed to be only
a change to the textual representation of the license information,
but in no way any change to the actual license terms. With this patch
applied, all files will still be licensed under the same terms they
were before.
Note 2: The apparent difference between the old "COPYING" and the new
"Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt" only results from switching to the upstream
version of the license which is differently formatted; there are not
any actual changes to the content.
Note 3: There are some recurring questions about linense issues, such
as:
- Is a "All Rights Reserved" clause a problem in GPL code?
- Are files without any license header a problem?
- Do we need license headers at all?
The following excerpt from an e-mail by Daniel B. Ravicher should help

The value of this config variable is not available to image.h on the host,

At present mkimage is set up to always build with image signing support.
This means that the SSL libraries (e.g. libssl-dev) are always required.
Adjust things so that mkimage can be built with and without image signing,
controlled by the presence of CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE in the board config file.
If CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not enabled, then mkimage will report a warning
that signing is not supported. If the option is enabled, but libraries are
not available, then a build error similar to this will be shown:

RSA provides a public key encryption facility which is ideal for image
signing and verification.
Images are signed using a private key by mkimage. Then at run-time, the
images are verified using a private key.
This implementation uses openssl for the host part (mkimage). To avoid
bringing large libraries into the U-Boot binary, the RSA public key
is encoded using a simple numeric representation in the device tree.

make never uses the SHELL variable from the environment. Instead, it
uses /bin/sh, or the value assigned to the SHELL variable by the Makefile. This
makes the export of the SHELL variable useless for sub-makes (but still useful
for the environment of recipes). However, we want all makes to use the same
shell.
This patch fixes this issue by moving the SHELL variable setup and export to the
top config.mk, so that all Makefile-s including it use the same shell.
Since BASH is used by default, this makes it possible to use things
like 'echo -e ...' in sub-makes, which would otherwise fail e.g. with /bin/sh
symlinked to /bin/dash on Ubuntu.

This patch adds essential components for generation of the contents of
the linker section that is used by the linker-generated array. All of
the contents is held in a separate file, u-boot.lst, which is generated
at runtime just before U-Boot is linked.
The purpose of this code is to especially generate the appropriate
boundary symbols around each subsection in the section carrying the
linker-generated arrays. Obviously, the interim linker code for actual
placement of the variables into the section is generated too. The
generated file, u-boot.lst, is included into u-boot.lds via the linker
INCLUDE directive in u-boot.lds .
Adjustments are made in the Makefile and spl/Makefile so that the
u-boot.lds and u-boot-spl.lds depend on their respective .lst files.

reducing the number of "execve" system calls.

-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>

The device tree compiler output should be placed in the $(obj)

Currently, some linker scripts are found by common code in config.mk.
Some are found using CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT, but the code for that is
sometimes in arch config.mk and sometimes in board config.mk. Some
are found using an arch-specific rule for looking in CPUDIR, etc.
Further, the powerpc config.mk rule relied on CONFIG_NAND_SPL
when it really wanted CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT -- which covered up the fact
that not all NAND_U_BOOT builds actually wanted CPUDIR/u-boot-nand.lds.
Replace all of this -- except for a handful of boards that are actually
selecting a linker script in a unique way -- with centralized ldscript
finding.
If board code specifies LDSCRIPT, that will be used.
Otherwise, if CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT is specified, that will be used.
If neither of these are specified, then the central config.mk will
check for the existence of the following, in order:
$(TOPDIR)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds (only if CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT)
$(TOPDIR)/$(CPUDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds (only if CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT)
$(TOPDIR)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot.lds
$(TOPDIR)/$(CPUDIR)/u-boot.lds
Some boards (sc3, cm5200, munices) provided their own u-boot.lds that
were dead code, because they were overridden by a CPUDIR u-boot.lds under
the old powerpc rules. These boards' own u-boot.lds have bitrotted and
no longer work -- these lds files have been removed.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.
