As of commits d8f347ba35cf ("nios2: enable earlycon support"),
0dcc0542a006 ("serial: altera_jtaguart: add earlycon support") and
4d9d7d896d77 ("serial: altera_uart: add earlycon support"), the nios2
architecture and the altera_uart/altera_jtaguart drivers support
earlycon. Thus, the custom early console implementation for nios2 is no
longer necessary to get early boot messages. Remove it and rely fully on
earlycon support.

Add support for the CDX Code Density Extensions present in
Nios II R2 . This introduces new 16bit instruction set to
improve code density while retaining support for the 32bit
Nios II R2 instructions.

Allow user to select between Nios2 R1 and R2. Since R1 and R2 are
not binary compatible, we cannot have a single kernel binary and
there is no point in having DT property for discerning these two.

<id>44a4ed42576da5f3387005a1667cb3e7aedfd687</id>
<content type='text'>
Enable generic earlycon support for nios2. This e.g. allows to use a
8250/16650 UART as earlycon.

In order to get the earlycon, we just need to call parse_early_param()
in early_init_devtree() as soon as the device tree is initially scanned.
By adding an stdout-path property to the dts (done in this patch for
10m50_devboard), the earlycon can be used.

In order to provide early printk support, we need to provide a dummy
implementation of early_console_write(), so that
arch/nios2/kernel/early_printk.c can still be compiled if neither
SERIAL_ALTERA_JTAGUART_CONSOLE nor SERIAL_ALTERA_UART_CONSOLE is
selected. As soon as the altera_uart and altera_jtaguart support
earlycon, the entire file can be removed.

<title>nios2: reserve boot memory for device tree</title>

Make sure to reserve the boot memory for the flattened device tree.
Otherwise it might get overwritten, e.g. when initial_boot_params is
copied, leading to a corrupted FDT and a boot hang/crash:

  bootconsole [early0] enabled
  Early console on uart16650 initialized at 0xf8001600
  OF: fdt: Error -11 processing FDT
  Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!

  ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!

Guenter Roeck says:

&gt; I think I found the problem. In unflatten_and_copy_device_tree(), with added
&gt; debug information:
&gt;
&gt; OF: fdt: initial_boot_params=c861e400, dt=c861f000 size=28874 (0x70ca)
&gt;
&gt; ... and then initial_boot_params is copied to dt, which results in corrupted
&gt; fdt since the memory overlaps. Looks like the initial_boot_params memory
&gt; is not reserved and (re-)allocated by early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch().
