* Replace CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE by auto-generated valueWolfgang Denk2010-10-26-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE has always been just a bad workarond for not being able to use "sizeof(struct global_data)" in assembler files. Recent experience has shown that manual synchronization is not reliable enough. This patch renames CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE into GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE which gets automatically generated by the asm-offsets tool. In the result, all definitions of this value can be deleted from the board config files. We have to make sure that all files that reference such data include the new <asm-offsets.h> file. No other changes have been done yet, but it is obvious that similar changes / simplifications can be done for other, related macro definitions as well.

* include/asm-offsets.h: automatically generate assembler constantsWolfgang Denk2010-10-26-0/+25
A recurrent issue is that certain C level constructs like sizeof() or offsetof() cannot be used in assembler files, which is inconvenient when such constructs are used in the definition of macro names etc. To avoid duplication of such definitions (and thus another cause of problems), we adapt the Linux way to automatically generate the respective definitions from the respective C header files. In Linux, this is implemented in include/linux/kbuild.h, Kbuild, and arch/*/kernel/asm-offsets.c; we adapt the code from the Linux v2.6.36 kernel tree. We also copy the concept of the include/generated/ directory which can be used to hold other automatically generated files as well. We start with an architecture-independent lib/asm-offsets.c which generates include/generated/generic-asm-offsets.h (included by include/asm-offsets.h, which is what will be referred to in the actual source code). Later this may be extended by architecture-specific arch/*/lib/asm-offsets.c files that will generate a include/generated/asm-offsets.h.
