Add a uImage build target for MIPS, which builds uImage.gz (a U-Boot
image of vmlinux.bin.gz), and then symlinks it to uImage. This allows
for the use of other compression algorithms in future, and is how a few
other architectures do it.
It's enabled conditionally on load-y >= 0xffffffff80000000 which
hopefully allows 64bit kernels to also work as long as the load and
entry address can be represented by the 32bit addresses in the U-Boot
image format.

The vmlinux load address and entry address is calculated in multiple
places:
- arch/mips/Makefile defines load-y from CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START (or
defined by the platform) and passes it to
arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile.
- arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile calculates kernel entry using nm.
- arch/mips/lasat/image/Makefile calculates both load and entry address
using nm.
Lets combine these in the main Makefile and then pass them as Make
parameters to each of the three boot image Makefiles (in boot/,
boot/compressed, lasat/image/). The boot/ Makefile doesn't currently use
them, but will soon need to for U-Boot image targets.
The existing load-y definition is used in preference to calculating the
load address using nm.

Split out the arch/mips/boot/ and arch/mips/boot/compressed/ targets
into boot-y and bootz-y variables. This makes it slightly cleaner to add
new targets.

Implements basic stack protector support based on ARM version in
c743f38013 , with Kconfig option,
constant canary value set at boot time, and script to check if
compiler actually supports stack protector.

With the upcoming merge of the ARC architecture there is a small likelyhood
of conflicting use for the CONFIG_ARC config symbol. Rename it to
CONFIG_FW_ARC. Also rename CONFIG_ARC32 to CONFIG_FW_ARC32, CONFIG_ARC64
to CONFIG_FW_ARC64.
For consistence also rename CONFIG_SNIPROM to CONFIG_FW_SNIPROM and
CONFIG_CFE to CONFIG_FW_CFE.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

sparc32 logic).

mips: Fix KBUILD_CPPFLAGS definition

kbuild: refactor final link of sparc32
kbuild: drop unused KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS from top-level Makefile
kbuild: Makefile: remove unnecessary check for m68knommu ARCH
The KBUILD_CPPFLAGS variable is no longer passed to sh -c 'gcc ...',
but exported and used by the link-vmlinux.sh script. This means that the
double-quotes will not be evaluated by the shell.

Same code. Use the generic version. The special Makefile treatment is
pointless anyway as init_task.o contains only data which is handled by
the linker script. So no point on being treated like head text.
Make the linker script align the task on THREAD_SIZE and not on
PAGE_SIZE, as PAGE_SIZE might be smaller than THREAD_SIZE.

It seems the shell chokes because sparse is called with command line
arguments such as:
-D__INT8_C(c)='c'
Converting these to form:
-D'__INT8_C(c)'='c'
seems to fix the problem.

The CN63XXP1 needs a couple of workarounds to ensure memory is not written
in unexpected ways.
All PREF with hints in the range 0-4,6-24 are replaced with PREF 28. We
pass a flag to the assembler to cover compiler generated code, and patch
uasm for the dynamically generated code.
The write buffer threshold is reduced to 4.

It was a nice optimization - on paper at least. In practice it results in
branches that may exceed the maximum legal range for a branch. We can
fight that problem with -ffunction-sections but -ffunction-sections again
is incompatible with -pg used by the function tracer.
By rewriting the loop around all simple LL/SC blocks to C we reduce the
amount of inline assembler and at the same time allow GCC to often fill
the branch delay slots with something sensible or whatever else clever
optimization it may have up in its sleeve.
With this optimization gone we also no longer need -ffunction-sections,
so drop it.
This optimization was originally introduced in 2.6.21, commit
5999eca25c1fd4b9b9aca7833b04d10fe4bc877d (linux-mips.org) rsp.
f65e4fa8e0 (kernel.org).
Original fix for the issues which caused me to pull this optimization by
Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>.
