board/mpl: Remove mpl-specific memory test command

2010-10-06T20:25:38Z

The mpl-specfic memory test is only documented for one board, doesn't compile cleanly, uses improper coding style, and overlaps functionality with U-Boot's common 'mtest' command, so lets get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser CC: d.peter@mpl.ch CC: d.mueller@elsoft.ch CC: wd@denx.de

Rename getenv_r() into getenv_f()

2010-08-03T22:45:36Z

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"] Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk Acked-by: Detlev Zundel

cmd_usage(): simplify return code handling

2010-07-24T18:43:57Z

Lots of code use this construct: cmd_usage(cmdtp); return 1; Change cmd_usage() let it return 1 - then we can replace all these ocurrances by return cmd_usage(cmdtp); This fixes a few places with incorrect return code handling, too. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk

Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.

2010-07-04T21:55:42Z

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) { ...

move prototypes for gunzip() and zunzip() to common.h

2009-12-21T20:39:59Z

Prototype for gunzip/zunzip was only in lib_generic/gunzip.c and thus repeated in every file using it. This patch moves the prototypes to common.h and removes all prototypes distributed anywhere else. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Wegner

mpl: printing current stdio devices cleanup

2009-07-18T23:05:51Z

Currently the mpl boards duplicate the code to print the current devices from common/console.c; use stdio_print_current_devices() instead Signed-off-by: Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD Edited commit message. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk

MIP405T: fix compile problem

stdio/device: rework function naming convention

2009-07-17T22:27:46Z

So far the console API uses the following naming convention: ======Extract====== typedef struct device_t; int device_register (device_t * dev); int devices_init (void); int device_deregister(char *devname); struct list_head* device_get_list(void); device_t* device_get_by_name(char* name); device_t* device_clone(device_t *dev); ======= which is too generic and confusing. Instead of using device_XX and device_t we change this into stdio_XX and stdio_dev This will also allow to add later a generic device mechanism in order to have support for multiple devices and driver instances.
