commit 0f9da844d87796ac31b04e81ee95e155e9043132 upstream.

The MIPS %.its.S compiler command did not define __ASSEMBLY__, which meant
when compiler_types.h was added to kconfig.h, unexpected things appeared
(e.g. struct declarations) which should not have been present. As done in
the general %.S compiler command, __ASSEMBLY__ is now included here too.

The failure was:

    Error: arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.gz.its:201.1-2 syntax error
    FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree
    /usr/bin/mkimage: Can't read arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.gz.itb.tmp: Invalid argument
    /usr/bin/mkimage Can't add hashes to FIT blob

In preparation for splitting arch/mips/generic/vmlinux.its.S into
multiple files such that it doesn't become a conflict magnet as boards
are added, allow platforms to specify a list of image tree source files
which will be concatenated to form the final source used to build the
image tree.

The .its targets require information about the kernel binary, such as
its entry point, which is extracted from the vmlinux ELF. We therefore
require that the ELF is built before the .its files are generated.
Declare this requirement in the Makefile such that make will ensure this
is always the case, otherwise in corner cases we can hit issues as the
.its is generated with an incorrect (either invalid or stale) entry
point.

<title>MIPS: generic: Introduce generic DT-based board support</title>

<id>eed0eabd12ef061821cbfa20d903476e07645320</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a "generic" platform, which aims to be board-agnostic by
making use of device trees passed by the boot protocol defined in the
MIPS UHI (Universal Hosting Interface) specification. Provision is made
for supporting boards which use a legacy boot protocol that can't be
changed, but adding support for such boards or any others is left to
followon patches.

Right now the built kernels expect to be loaded to 0x80100000, ie. in
kseg0. This is fine for the vast majority of MIPS platforms, but
nevertheless it would be good to remove this limitation in the future by
mapping the kernel via the TLB such that it can be loaded anywhere &amp; map
itself appropriately.

Configuration is handled by dynamically generating configs using
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh, somewhat similar to the way powerpc
makes use of it. This allows for variations upon the configuration, eg.
differing architecture revisions or subsets of driver support for
differing boards, to be handled without having a large number of
defconfig files.

<content type='text'>
Add support for generating kernel images in the Flattened Image Tree
(.itb) format as supported by U-Boot. This format is essentially a
Flattened Device Tree binary containing images (kernels, DTBs, ramdisks)
and configurations which link those images together. The big advantages
of FIT images over the uImage format are:

  - We can include FDTs in the kernel image in a way that the bootloader
    can extract it &amp; manipulate it before providing it to the kernel.
    Thus we can ship FDTs as part of the kernel giving us the advantages
    of being able to develop &amp; maintain the DT within the kernel tree,
    but also have the benefits of the bootloader being able to
    manipulate the FDT. Example uses for this would be to inject the
    kernel command line into the chosen node, or to fill in the correct
    memory size.

  - We can include multiple configurations in a single kernel image.
    This means that a single FIT image can, given appropriate
    bootloaders, be booted on different boards with the bootloader
    selecting an appropriate configuration &amp; providing the correct FDT
    to the kernel.

  - We can support a multitude of hashes over the data.

to be generated. An uncompressed image might be useful to rule out
problems in the decompression code in the bootloader or even speed
up the boot process at the expense of a bigger uImage file.

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 &gt;= 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.
