On m68k, block_cache list is relocated, but next and prev list
pointers are not adjusted to the relocated struct list_head address,
so the first iteration over the block_cache list hangs.This patch initializes the block_cache list after relocation.

When enabling BLOCK_CACHE on devices with limited RAM during SPL,
some devices may not boot. This creates an option to enable

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.Signed-off-by: Tom Rini

This patch provides
* a uclass for EFI drivers
* a EFI driver for block devicesFor each EFI driver the uclass
* creates a handle
* adds the driver binding protocolThe uclass provides the bind, start, and stop entry points for the driver
binding protocol.In bind() and stop() it checks if the controller implements the protocol
supported by the EFI driver. In the start() function it calls the bind()
function of the EFI driver. In the stop() function it destroys the child
controllers.The EFI block driver binds to controllers implementing the block io
protocol.When the bind function of the EFI block driver is called it creates a
new U-Boot block device. It installs child handles for all partitions and
installs the simple file protocol on these.The read and write functions of the EFI block driver delegate calls to the
controller that it is bound to.A usage example is as following:
U-Boot loads the iPXE snp.efi executable. iPXE connects an iSCSI drive and
exposes a handle with the block IO protocol. It calls ConnectController.Now the EFI block driver installs the partitions with the simple file
protocol.iPXE uses the simple file protocol to load Grub or the Linux Kernel.

There is an overflow problem when taking the size instead of the number
of blocks in blk_create_device(). This results in a wrong device size: the
device apparent size is its real size modulo 4GB.
Using the number of blocks instead of the device size fixes the problem and
is more coherent with the internals of the block layer.Signed-off-by: Jean-Jacques Hiblot

Most block devices provide a command (e.g. 'sata', 'scsi', 'ide') and
these commands generally do the same thing. This makes it harder to
maintain this code and keep it consistent.We now have a block device interface which is either implemented by driver
model (when CONFIG_BLK is enabled) or with a legacy interface. Therefore
it is possible to handle most of what these commands do with generic code.Add a new generic function to process block-device commands using the
interface type and the current device number for that type.Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

At present if U-Boot proper uses driver model for MMC, then SPL has to
also. While this is desirable, it places a significant barrier to moving
to driver model in some cases. For example, with a space-constrained SPL
it may be necessary to enable CONFIG_SPL_OF_PLATDATA which involves
adjusting some drivers.Add new SPL versions of the options for DM_MMC, DM_MMC_OPS and BLK. By
default these follow their non-SPL versions, but this can be changed by
boards which need it.Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

When we don't have CONFIG_BLK defined we don't have a forward
declaration of struct udevice, and thus get a warning about it on
blk_get_from_parent(), which we only have when CONFIG_BLK is set. Move
the declaration of blk_get_from_parent() to be with the other CONFIG_BLK
parts.Fixes 9f103b9cb5f8 ("dm: blk: Add a way to obtain a block device from ...")

Add a block device cache to speed up repeated reads of block devices by
various filesystems.This small amount of cache can dramatically speed up filesystem
operations by skipping repeated reads of common areas of a block
device (typically directory structures).This has shown to have some benefit on FAT filesystem operations of
loading a kernel and RAM disk, but more dramatic benefits on ext4
filesystems when the kernel and/or RAM disk are spread across
multiple extent header structures as described in commit fc0fc50.The cache is implemented through a minimal list (block_cache) maintained
in most-recently-used order and count of the current number of entries
(cache_count). It uses a maximum block count setting to prevent copies
of large block reads and an upper bound on the number of cached areas.The maximum number of entries in the cache defaults to 32 and the maximum
number of blocks per cache entry has a default of 2, which has shown to
produce the best results on testing of ext4 and FAT filesystems.The 'blkcache' command (enabled through CONFIG_CMD_BLOCK_CACHE) allows
changing these values and can be used to tune for a particular filesystem
layout.Signed-off-by: Eric Nelson
