Kumar Gala bbf736cf6e build: refactor kernel hex build to be common
Several platforms utilize a ihex image format.  Rather than
duplicating the build bits in everyones makefile, pull it into the
toplevel makefile so we all share it.

Andrew Boie ef29812d51 nios2: support more global pointer scenarios
We now allow use of -mgpopt=global and -mgpopt=data. The 'global'
option is now the default instead of compiler-default local, expanding
global pointer usage to all small data in the system.

For systems where all RAM is less than 64K, the 'data' option may be
appropriate.

Some fixes had to be made to the system in order to get around some
issues:

* prep_c.c no longer uses fake linker variables to figure out the size
of data or BSS, as these gave the linker fits as it tried to compute
relative addresses to them.

* _k_task_ptr_idle is create by sysgen and placed in a special section.
Any small data in a special section needs to be declared extern
with __attribute__((section)) else the compiler will assume it's in
.sdata.

* same situation with extern references to k_pipe_t (fixed pipe_priv
test)

For legacy applications being ported to Nios II which do things that
freak out global pointer calculation, it can be disabled entirely.

Andrew Boie fca3591bce nios2: enable use of global pointer indirect addressing
needs to be 0x8000 after .sdata and .sbss sections since
register offsets are 16-bit signed values.

Andrew Boie a7b54980bd nios2: set appropriate compiler flags for math support
Nios II CPUs vary in configuration on whether they support
'mul', 'mulx', and 'div' family of instructions. The compiler
can be told to use GCC integer library routines instead if
needed.

Ideally we would just pull the configuration out of system.h,
but pulling include file #defines into the Make environment
will involve some build system work that is best left to a
later improvement.

We've decided to take this build-time approach rather than
handle unimplemented instruction exceptions, so remove the
hook in exception.S

Andrew Boie 9280e71ea4 nios2: add flashing/debug scripts
For the moment, NIOS2_CPU_SOF must be set with the path to the
CPU configuration. We are checking with Altera on whether we
can directly check in the binary to the source tree.

These scripts depend on tools provided by the Altera Quartus
Prime Lite Edition. This is available for free but requires
registration on Altera's website to obtain.

Andrew Boie fe6f178a3b nios2: generate kernel image in Intel HEX format
Altera tools for creating .pof files for flashing onto their
FPGAs require UFM data to be in this special format. Extend
the current 'all' and 'zephyr' targets to additionally create
this .hex file using objcopy, with the same exclusions as the
existing rule for .bin files.

Andrew Boie 8564875a98 nios2: provide and include soc-specific headers
BSP builds for Nios II generate a linker.h and system.h which reflects
the configuration for that CPU. This can vary depending on how the CPU
is wired up in QSYS, so it needs to be at the SOC level--we essentially
treat any given CPU configuration as a SOC in Zephyr build terms.

Include these files from <arch/cpu.h>.

Andrew Boie 9433895954 nios2: basic build, non-functional
Basic build framework for Nios2. Everything is stubbed out,
we just want to have a build going so that we can start to
parallelize implementation tasks.

This patch is not intended to be functional, but should be
able to produce a binary for all the nanokernel-based
sanity checks.
