Fix number base handling of "load" command

2013-10-07T19:54:18+00:00

As documented, almost all U-Boot commands expect numbers to be entered
in hexadecimal input format. (Exception: for historical reasons, the
"sleep" command takes its argument in decimal input format.)

This rule was broken for the "load" command; for details please see
especially commits 045fa1e "fs: add filesystem switch libary,
implement ls and fsload commands" and 3f83c87 "fs: fix number base
behaviour change in fatload/ext*load".  In the result, the load
command would always require an explicit "0x" prefix for regular
(i. e. base 16 formatted) input.

Change this to use the standard notation of base 16 input format.
While strictly speaking this is a change of the user interface, we
hope that it will not cause trouble.  Stephen Warren comments (see
[1]):

        I suppose you can change the behaviour if you want; anyone
        writing "0x..." for their values presumably won't be
        affected, and if people really do assume all values in U-Boot
        are in hex, presumably nobody currently relies upon using
        non-prefixed values with the generic load command, since it
        doesn't work like that right now.

fs: rename fsload command to load

2012-11-04T18:00:34+00:00

When the generic filesystem load command "fsload" was written, I felt
that "load" was too generic of a name for it, since many other similar
commands already existed. However, it turns out that there is already
an "fsload" command, so that name cannot be used. Rename the new
"fsload" to plain "load" to avoid the conflict. At least anyone who's
used a Basic interpreter should feel familiar with the name!

fs: fix number base behaviour change in fatload/ext*load

2012-11-04T18:00:31+00:00

Commit 045fa1e "fs: add filesystem switch libary, implement ls and
fsload commands" unified the implementation of fatload and ext*load
with the new command fsload. However, this altered the interpretation
of command-line numbers from always being base-16, to requiring a "0x"
prefix for base-16 numbers. Enhance do_fsload() to allow commands to
specify which base to use.

Use base 0, thus requiring a "0x" prefix for the new fsload command.
This feels much cleaner than assuming base 16.

Use base 16 for the pre-existing fatload and ext*load to prevent a
change in behaviour.

Use base 16 exclusively for the loadaddr environment variable, since
that variable is interpreted in multiple places, so we don't want the
behaviour to change.

Update command help text to make it clear where numbers are assumed to
be hex, and where an explicit "0x" prefix is required.

fs: add filesystem switch libary, implement ls and fsload commands

2012-10-29T21:21:20+00:00

Implement "ls" and "fsload" commands that act like {fat,ext2}{ls,load},
and transparently handle either file-system. This scheme could easily be
extended to other filesystem types; I only didn't do it for zfs because
I don't have any filesystems of that type to test with.

Replace the implementation of {fat,ext[24]}{ls,load} with this new code
too.

Convert cmd_usage() calls in common to use a return value

2012-03-06T20:09:46+00:00

Change all files in common/ to use CMD_RET_USAGE instead of calling
cmd_usage() directly. I'm not completely sure about this patch since
the code since impact is small (100 byte or so on ARM) and it might
need splitting into smaller patches. But for now here it is.

cmd_usage(): simplify return code handling

2010-07-24T18:43:57+00:00

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.

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

2010-07-04T21:55:42+00:00

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) {
			...

Fix ext2load return code

2009-07-28T20:38:53+00:00

Make the ext2load command return 0 on success (instead of the file
length).

Also fix output format (get rid of random newlines) and some coding
style issues (long lines etc.).
