These patches mainly try to fix an outstanding mips bug:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/25533
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/22160
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/19550
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/18887
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/14935

As already discussed, the cause of this bug is a misalignment between
__got_start and _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. The __got_start misalignment
makes num_got_entries larger than needed. As a result, we update GOT
entries too many and corrupt top of the u_boot_cmd data. This will be
fixed by __got_{start,end} cleanups in linker scripts.

In addition to fixing above, I've takan $gp usage fix suggested by Vlad,
and cleaned up linker scripts, etc. Please review and give it a try.

thanks,

  Shinya

Ensure that __got_start points to top of the `.got', and __got_end points
to bottom as well, so that we never fail to count num_got_entries.

From: Shinya Kuribayashi <shinya.kuribayashi@necel.com>

Now we load $gp with _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, but this is incorrect use.
As a general principle, we should use _gp for $gp.

Thanks to linker script's help we fortunately have _gp which equals to
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. But once _gp gets out of alignment, we will not
be able to access to GOT entires, global variables and procedure entry
points. The right thing to do is to use _gp.

This patch also introduce a new symbol `.gpword _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_'
which holds the offset from _gp. When updating GOT entries, we use this
offset and _gp to calculate the final _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.

This patch is originally submitted by Vlad Lungu <vlad@comsys.ro>, then
I made some change to leave over num_got_entries.

Re this and your other MIPS patches: I would like to relesase  U-Boot
1.3.0 soon. Will you send a pull request for all these patches soon?
Then I would wait...

Best regards,

Err, I should have fixed like this:

-MIPSFLAGS += $(ENDIANNESS) -mabicalls
+MIPSFLAGS += $(ENDIANNESS)

already fixed.
