Recent discussions confirmed (what the code always assumed): the
Rockchip BROM always enters U-Boot with the stack-pointer valid
(i.e. the U-Boot startup code is running off the BROM stack).
We can thus replace the back-to-bootrom code (i.e. both the
save_boot_params and back_to_bootrom implementations) using C-code
based on setjmp/longjmp. The new implementation is already structured
to allow an easy drop-in of Andy's changes to enter download-mode when
returning to the BROM.
This turned out to require a some tweaking to system.h (making sure
that the prototype for save_boot_params_ret is visible for A64)and
start.S (so binutils knows that this is a possible function entry and
it can correctly insert A32-to-Thumb transitions) and taking the axe
to setjmp.h (which created quite a few issues with it not expecting
A32/T32/Thumb call-sites and some fragility from GCC being smart about
the clobber-list of the inline assembly... which led to r9 not being
saved or restored).
Changes in v3:
- tracked the root-cause why no interwork branch was emitted and fixed
it using a '.type'-directive in start.S to mark save_boot_params_ret
as a (possible) function-entry.
- converted setjmp/longjmp from inline-assembly to separate .S files
to improve predicatability if emitted code
Changes in v2:
- [added in v2] chain back_to_bootrom calls for SPL, first returning
to the TPL (using the same mechanism) and the to the BROM from the
TPL
- also covers the RK3188 (which I had originally missed)
Philipp Tomsich (6):
arm: make save_boot_params_ret prototype visible for AArch64
arm: mark save_boot_params_ret as a function
arm: provide a PCS-compliant setjmp implementation
rockchip: back-to-bootrom: replace assembly-implementation with C-code
rockchip: back-to-bootrom: rk3188: chain from SPL via TPL to the BROM
rockchip: back-to-bootrom: allow passing a cmd to the bootrom
