      net: drop !NET_MULTI code · e2a53458
      Mike Frysinger authored
      
      This is long over due.  All but two net drivers have been converted, but
      those have now been dropped.
      
      The only thing left to do is actually delete all references to NET_MULTI
      and code that is compiled when that is not defined.  So here we scrub the
      core code.

      POST: add post_log_res field for post results in global data · 79843950
      Valentin Longchamp authored
      
      The current post_log_word in global data is currently split into 2x
      16 bits: half for the test start, half for the test success.
      Since we alredy have more than 16 POST tests defined and more could
      be defined, this may result in an overflow and the post_output_backlog
      would not work for the tests defined further of these 16 positions.
      
      An additional field is added to global data so that we can now support up
      to 32 (depending of architecture) tests. The post_log_word is only used
      to record the start of the test and the new field post_log_res for the
      test success (or failure). The post_output_backlog is for this change
      also adapted.

      console: Implement pre-console buffer · 9558b48a
      Graeme Russ authored
      Allow redirection of console output prior to console initialisation to a
      temporary buffer.
      
      To enable this functionality, the board (or arch) must define:
       - CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER - Enable pre-console buffer
       - CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR - Base address of pre-console buffer
       - CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ - Size of pre-console buffer (in bytes)
      
      The pre-console buffer will buffer the last CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ bytes
      Any earlier characters are silently dropped.

      Switch from archive libraries to partial linking · 6d8962e8
      Sebastien Carlier authored
      
      Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
      found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
      binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
      extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
      
      This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
      of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
      linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
      This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
      cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
      inspired.
      
      The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
      extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
      references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
      scripts.
      
      This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
      include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
      resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
      - disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
      - enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

      Replace CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE by auto-generated value · 25ddd1fb
      Wolfgang Denk authored
      
      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.

      Rename TEXT_BASE into CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE · 14d0a02a
      Wolfgang Denk authored
      
      The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
      configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
      a simple, table driven script.
      
      Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
      also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
      a Kconfig driven configuration system.

      New implementation for internal handling of environment variables. · ea882baf
      Wolfgang Denk authored
      
      Motivation:
      
      * Old environment code used a pessimizing implementation:
        - variable lookup used linear search => slow
        - changed/added variables were added at the end, i. e. most
          frequently used variables had the slowest access times => slow
        - each setenv() would calculate the CRC32 checksum over the whole
          environment block => slow
      * "redundant" envrionment was locked down to two copies
      * No easy way to implement features like "reset to factory defaults",
        or to select one out of several pre-defined (previously saved) sets
        of environment settings ("profiles")
      * No easy way to import or export environment settings
      
      ======================================================================
      
      API Changes:
      
      - Variable names starting with '#' are no longer allowed
      
        I didn't find any such variable names being used; it is highly
        recommended to follow standard conventions and start variable names
        with an alphanumeric character
      
      - "printenv" will now print a backslash at the end of all but the last
        lines of a multi-line variable value.
      
        Multi-line variables have never been formally defined, allthough
        there is no reason not to use them. Now we define rules how to deal
        with them, allowing for import and export.
      
      - Function forceenv() and the related code in saveenv() was removed.
        At the moment this is causing build problems for the only user of
        this code (schmoogie - which has no entry in MAINTAINERS); may be
        fixed later by implementing the "env set -f" feature.
      
      Inconsistencies:
      
      - "printenv" will '\\'-escape the '\n' in multi-line variables, while
        "printenv var" will not do that.
      
      ======================================================================
      
      Advantages:
      
      - "printenv" output much better readable (sorted)
      - faster!
      - extendable (additional variable properties can be added)
      - new, powerful features like "factory reset" or easy switching
        between several different environment settings ("profiles")
      
      Disadvantages:
      
      - Image size grows by typically 5...7 KiB (might shrink a bit again on
        systems with redundant environment with a following patch series)
      
      ======================================================================
      
      Implemented:
      
      - env command with subcommands:
      
        - env print [arg ...]
      
          same as "printenv": print environment
      
        - env set [-f] name [arg ...]
      
          same as "setenv": set (and delete) environment variables
      
          ["-f" - force setting even for read-only variables - not
          implemented yet.]
      
        - end delete [-f] name
      
          not implemented yet
      
          ["-f" - force delete even for read-only variables]
      
        - env save
      
          same as "saveenv": save environment
      
        - env export [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
      
          export internal representation (hash table) in formats usable for
          persistent storage or processing:
      
      	-t:	export as text format; if size is given, data will be
      		padded with '\0' bytes; if not, one terminating '\0'
      		will be added (which is included in the "filesize"
      		setting so you can for exmple copy this to flash and
      		keep the termination).
      	-b:	export as binary format (name=value pairs separated by
      		'\0', list end marked by double "\0\0")
      	-c:	export as checksum protected environment format as
      		used for example by "saveenv" command
      	addr:	memory address where environment gets stored
      	size:	size of output buffer
      
      	With "-c" and size is NOT given, then the export command will
      	format the data as currently used for the persistent storage,
      	i. e. it will use CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE as output block size and
      	prepend a valid CRC32 checksum and, in case of resundant
      	environment, a "current" redundancy flag. If size is given, this
      	value will be used instead of CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE; again, CRC32
      	checksum and redundancy flag will be inserted.
      
      	With "-b" and "-t", always only the real data (including a
      	terminating '\0' byte) will be written; here the optional size
      	argument will be used to make sure not to overflow the user
      	provided buffer; the command will abort if the size is not
      	sufficient. Any remainign space will be '\0' padded.
      
              On successful return, the variable "filesize" will be set.
              Note that filesize includes the trailing/terminating '\0'
              byte(s).
      
              Usage szenario: create a text snapshot/backup of the current
      	settings:
      
      		=> env export -t 100000
      		=> era ${backup_addr} +${filesize}
      		=> cp.b 100000 ${backup_addr} ${filesize}
      
      	Re-import this snapshot, deleting all other settings:
      
      		=> env import -d -t ${backup_addr}
      
        - env import [-d] [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
      
          import external format (text or binary) into hash table,
          optionally deleting existing values:
      
      	-d:	delete existing environment before importing;
      		otherwise overwrite / append to existion definitions
      	-t:	assume text format; either "size" must be given or the
      		text data must be '\0' terminated
      	-b:	assume binary format ('\0' separated, "\0\0" terminated)
      	-c:	assume checksum protected environment format
      	addr:	memory address to read from
      	size:	length of input data; if missing, proper '\0'
      		termination is mandatory
      
        - env default -f
      
          reset default environment: drop all environment settings and load
          default environment
      
        - env ask name [message] [size]
      
          same as "askenv": ask for environment variable
      
        - env edit name
      
          same as "editenv": edit environment variable
      
        - env run
      
          same as "run": run commands in an environment variable
      
      ======================================================================
      
      TODO:
      
      - drop default env as implemented now; provide a text file based
        initialization instead (eventually using several text files to
        incrementally build it from common blocks) and a tool to convert it
        into a binary blob / object file.
      
      - It would be nice if we could add wildcard support for environment
        variables; this is needed for variable name auto-completion,
        but it would also be nice to be able to say "printenv ip*" or
        "printenv *addr*"

      Make getenv() work before relocation. · 91a76751
      Wolfgang Denk authored
      
      So far, getenv() would work before relocation is most cases, even
      though it was not intended to be used that way.  When switching to a
      hash table based implementation, this would break a number of boards.
      
      For convenience, we make getenv() check if it's running before
      relocation and, if so, use getenv_f() internally.
      
      Note that this is limited to simple cases, as we use a small static
      buffer (32 bytes) in the global data for this purpose.
      
      For this reason, it is also not a good idea to convert all current
      uses of getenv_f() into getenv() - some of the existing use cases need
      to be able to deal with longer variable values, so getenv_f() is still
      needed and recommended for use before relocation.

      Rename getenv_r() into getenv_f() · cdb74977
      Wolfgang Denk authored
      
      While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
      limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
      phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
      must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function.  This
      function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
      suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
      the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
      vs. getgrent_r, etc.).
      
      Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
      generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.
      
      To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

      Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified. · 54841ab5
      Wolfgang Denk authored
      
      The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
      argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
      commands.  Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
      corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
      sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
      by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
      
      This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
      after adding a new command, which used the following argument
      processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
      systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
      
      int main (int argc, char **argv)
      {
      	while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
      /* ====> */	while (*++*argv) {
      			switch (**argv) {
      			case 'd':
      				debug++;
      				break;
      			...
      			default:
      				usage ();
      			}
      		}
      	}
      	...
      }
      
      The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
      usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
      the shell.  With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
      an
      	error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
      
      N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
      
      	while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
      		char *arg = *argv;
      		while (*++arg) {
      			switch (*arg) {
      			...
