2010-10-18Rename TEXT_BASE into CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASEWolfgang Denk
The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by a simple, table driven script. Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to a Kconfig driven configuration system.

2010-10-13arm: implement ELF relocationsAlbert Aribaud
ELF relocation tables generated with linker option -pie can be used to fixup code and data in a single loop at relocation, removing the need for manual fixups anywhere else in the code. Signed-off-by: Albert Aribaud <albert.aribaud@free.fr>
2010-09-19ARM: implement relocation for ARM926Heiko Schocher
Change the implementation for arm926 to relocate the code to an arbitrary address in RAM. Adapt the TX25 (i.MX25), magnesium board to test the changes. On the tx25 board TEXT_BASE is set to the final relocation address to prevent one more copying of u-boot code when relocating.

2010-09-19ARM: add relocation supportHeiko Schocher
!! This breaks support for all arm boards !! To compile in old style, you must define CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC or you can compile with "CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC=1 ./MAKEALL board" !! This define will be removed soon, so convert your board to use relocation support Portions of this work were supported by funding from the CE Linux Forum.
