493a4c8af7 console: Add a way to output to serial only
In the video drivers it is useful to print errors while debugging but
doing so risks an infinite loop as the debugging info itself may go
through the video drivers.

Add a new console function that prints information only to the serial
device, thus making it safe for use in debugging.

83d290c56f 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.

644074671e watchdog: Fix Watchdog Reset while in U-Boot Prompt
Hardware: CM-FX6 Module from Compulab

This patch fixes unwanted watchdog resets while the user enters
a command at the U-Boot prompt.

As found on the CM-FX6 board from Compulab, when having enabled the
watchdog, a missing WATCHDOG_RESET call in common/console.c causes
this and alike boards to reset when the watchdog's timeout has
elapsed while waiting at the U-Boot prompt.

Despite the user could press several keys within the watchdog
timeout limit, the while loop in cli_readline.c, line 261, does only
call WATCHDOG_RESET if first == 1, which gets set to 0 in the 1st
loop iteration. This leads to a watchdog timeout no matter if the
user presses keys or not.

Although, this affects other boards as well as it touches
common/console.c, the macro WATCHDOG_RESET expands to {} if watchdog
support isn't configured. Hence, there's no harm caused and no need to
surround it by #ifdef in this case.

 * Symptom:
   U-Boot resets after watchdog times out when in commandline prompt
   and watchdog is enabled.

 * Reasoning:
   When U-Boot shows the commandline prompt, the following function
   call stack is executed while waiting for a keypress:

   common/main.c:
                    main_loop          => common/cli.c: cli_loop() =>
   common/cli_hush.c:
                    parse_file_outer   => parse_stream_outer       =>
                    parse_stream       => b_getch(i)               =>
                    i->get(i)          => file_get                 =>
                    get_user_input     => cmdedit_read_input       =>
                    uboot_cli_readline =>
   common/cli_readline.c:
                    cli_readline       => cli_readline_into_buffer =>
                    cread_line         => getcmd_getch (== getc)   =>
   common/console.c:
                    fgetc              => console_tstc

   common/console.c:
   (with CONFIG_CONSOLE_MUX is set)

   - in console_tstc line 181:
   If dev->tstc(dev) returns 0, the global tstcdev variable doesn't get
   set. This is the case if no character is in the serial buffer.

   - in fgetc(int file), line 297:
   Program flow keeps looping because tstcdev does not get set.
   Therefore WATCHDOG_RESET is not called, as mx_serial_tstc from
   drivers/serial/serial_mxc.c does not call it.

 * Solution:
   Add WATCHDOG_RESET into the loop of console_tstc.

   Note: Macro expands to {} if not configured, so no #ifdef is needed.

 * Comment:

7d9cde1031 lib/tiny-printf.c: Add tiny printf function for space limited environments
This patch adds a small printf() version that supports all basic formats.
Its intented to be used in U-Boot SPL versions on platforms with very
limited internal RAM sizes.

To enable it, just define CONFIG_USE_TINY_PRINTF in your defconfig. This
will result in the SPL using this tiny function and the main U-Boot
still using the full-blown printf() function.

This code was copied from:
http://www.sparetimelabs.com/printfrevisited
With mostly only coding style related changes so that its checkpatch
clean.

The size reduction is about 2.5KiB. Here a comparison for the db-mv784mp-gp
(Marvell AXP) SPL:

Without this patch:
  58963   18536    1928   79427   13643 ./spl/u-boot-spl

With this patch:
  56542   18536    1956   77034   12cea ./spl/u-boot-spl

Note:
To make it possible to compile tiny-printf.c instead of vsprintf.c when
CONFIG_USE_TINY_PRINTF is defined, the functions printf() and vprintf() are
moved from common/console.c into vsprintf.c in this patch.

9854a8748c console: Add a console buffer
It is useful to be able to record console output and provide console input
via a buffer. This provides sandbox with the ability to run a command and
check its output. If the console is set to silent then no visible output
is generated.

This also provides a means to fix the problem where tests produce unwanted
output, such as errors or warnings. This can be confusing. We can instead
set the console to silent and record this output. It can be checked later
in the test if required.

It is possible that this may prove useful for non-test situations. For
example the console output may be suppressed for normal operations, but
recorded and stored for access by the OS. That feature is not implemented
at present.

24b852a7a2 Move console definitions into a new console.h file
The console includes a global variable and several functions that are only
used by a small subset of U-Boot files. Before adding more functions, move
the definitions into their own header file.

da229e4e57 sandbox: Drop special-case sandbox console code
At present printf() skips output if it can see there is no console. This
is really just an optimisation, and is not necessary. Also it is currently
incorrect in some cases. Rather than update the logic, just remove it so
that we don't need to keep it in sync.

d6ea5307da dm: Allow debug UART to support an early console
When there is no console ready, allow the debug UART to be used for output.
This makes debugging of early code considerably easier.

a8552c7c9b console: Fix pre-console flushing via cfb_console being very slow
On my A10 OlinuxIno Lime I noticed a huge (5+ seconds) delay coming from
console_init_r. This turns out to be caused by the preconsole buffer flushing
to the cfb_console. The Lime only has a 16 bit memory bus and that is already
heavy used to scan out the 1920x1080 framebuffer.

The problem is that print_pre_console_buffer() was printing the buffer once
character at a time and the cfb_console code then ends up doing a cache-flush
for touched display lines for each character.

This commit fixes this by first building a 0 terminated buffer and then
printing it in one puts() call, avoiding unnecessary cache flushes.

This changes the time for the flush from 5+ seconds to not noticable.

The downside of this approach is that the pre-console buffer needs to fit
on the stack, this is not that much to ask since we are talking about plain
text here. This commit also adjusts the sunxi CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ to
actually fit on the stack. Sunxi currently is the only user of the pre-console
code so no other boards need to be adjusted.

49cad54788 Export redesign
this is an atempt to make the export of functions typesafe.
I replaced the jumptable void ** by a struct (jt_funcs) with function pointers.
The EXPORT_FUNC macro now has 3 fixed parameters and one
variadic parameter
The first is the name of the exported function,
the rest of the parameters are used to format a functionpointer
in the jumptable,

the EXPORT_FUNC macros are expanded three times,
1. to declare the members of the struct
2. to initialize the structmember pointers
3. to call the functions in stubs.c

2766966750 console: Use pre-console buffer to get complete log on all consoles
Currently the pre-console buffer can accumulate early log messages
and flush them to the serial console as soon as it becomes available.

This patch just adds one more pre-console buffer flushing point and
does all the same for the other consoles too. This is particularly
useful for the vga/hdmi/lcd console, where we can see all the older
messages now (except for the log messages from SPL).

Naturally, we don't want to get an extra copy of the log messages
on the serial console again at the second flushing point, so the
serial console has to be explicitly filtered out.

d8727713b6 Fix console functions for U-Boot API
Commit 709ea54 made a subtle change to the way the U-Boot API jump table
is set up. So at present putc(), getc(), tstc() and puts() do not work
correctly from functions that use the U-Boot API.

Previously these were set to the stdio functions, but these now take a
parameter specifying which stdio device to use. Instead, we should change
them to use the global functions which do not have a parameter.

This is a slight change in behaviour. The functions will now output to
all selected stdio devices - for example putc() will output a character to
all devices selected by stdout. However in most cases there is only one,
and it isn't necessarily incorrect behaviour anyway.

The API version is not changed since it is compatible with what was there
before.
