yaffs: Remove private list implementation

2014-03-04T17:15:29+00:00

U-Boot already has a list implementation, and files which include both
that and the yaffs implementation will get errors:

In file included from ydirectenv.h:80:0,
                 from yportenv.h:81,
                 from yaffs_guts.h:19,
                 from yaffs_allocator.h:19,
                 from yaffs_allocator.c:14:
yaffs_list.h:32:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct list_head’
 struct list_head {
        ^

Remove the yaffs implementation.

arm: Switch to -mno-unaligned-access when supported by the compiler

2014-02-26T20:19:32+00:00

When we tell the compiler to optimize for ARMv7 (and ARMv6 for that
matter) it assumes a default of SCTRL.A being cleared and unaligned
accesses being allowed and fast at the hardware level.  We set this bit
and must pass along -mno-unaligned-access so that the compiler will
still breakdown accesses and not trigger a data abort.

To better help understand the requirements of the project with respect
to unaligned memory access, the
Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt file has been added as
doc/README.unaligned-memory-access.txt and is taken from the v3.14-rc1
tag of the kernel.

Revert "ext4fs: Add ext4 extent cache for read operations"

2014-02-26T13:18:58+00:00

This reverts commit fc0fc50f38a4d7d0554558076a79dfe8b0d78cd5.

The author has asked on the mailing list that we revert this for now as
it breaks write support.

ext4fs: Add ext4 extent cache for read operations

2014-02-21T16:33:18+00:00

In an ext4 filesystem, the inode corresponding to a file has a 60-byte
area which contains an extent header structure and up to 4 extent
structures (5 x 12 bytes).

For files that need more than 4 extents to be represented (either files
larger than 4 x 128MB = 512MB or smaller files but very fragmented),
ext4 creates extent index structures. Each extent index points to a 4KB
physical block where one extent header and additional 340 extents could
be stored.

The current u-boot ext4 code is very inefficient when it tries to load a
file which has extent indexes. For each logical file block the code will
read over and over again the same blocks of 4096 bytes from the disk.

Since the extent tree in a file is always the same, we can cache the
extent structures in memory before actually starting to read the file.

This patch creates a simple linked list of structures holding information
about all the extents used to represent a file. The list is sorted by
the logical block number (ee_block) so that we can easily find the
proper extent information for any file block.

Without this patch, a 69MB file which had just one extent index pointing
to a block with another 6 extents was read in approximately 3 minutes.
With this patch applied the same file can be read in almost 20 seconds.

kbuild: use Linux Kernel build scripts

2014-02-19T16:07:50+00:00

Now we are ready to switch over to real Kbuild.

This commit disables temporary scripts:
  scripts/{Makefile.build.tmp, Makefile.host.tmp}
and enables real Kbuild scripts:
  scripts/{Makefile.build,Makefile.host,Makefile.lib}.

This switch is triggered by the line in scripts/Kbuild.include
  -build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build.tmp obj
  +build := -f $(if $(KBUILD_SRC),$(srctree)/)scripts/Makefile.build obj

We need to adjust some build scripts for U-Boot.
But smaller amount of modification is preferable.

Additionally, we need to fix compiler flags which are
locally added or removed.

In Kbuild, it is not allowed to change CFLAGS locally.
Instead, ccflags-y, asflags-y, cppflags-y,
CFLAGS_$(basetarget).o, CFLAGS_REMOVE_$(basetarget).o
are prepared for that purpose.

kbuild: change out-of-tree build

2014-02-19T16:07:50+00:00

This commit changes the working directory
where the build process occurs.

Before this commit, build process occurred under the source
tree for both in-tree and out-of-tree build.

That's why we needed to add $(obj) prefix to all generated
files in makefiles like follows:
  $(obj)u-boot.bin:  $(obj)u-boot

Here, $(obj) is empty for in-tree build, whereas it points
to the output directory for out-of-tree build.

And our old build system changes the current working directory
with "make -C " syntax when descending into the
sub-directories.

On the other hand, Kbuild uses a different idea
to handle out-of-tree build and directory descending.

The build process of Kbuild always occurs under the output tree.
When "O=dir/to/store/output/files" is given, the build system
changes the current working directory to that directory and
restarts the make.

Kbuild uses "make -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.build obj="
syntax for descending into sub-directories.
(We can write it like "make $(obj)=" with a shorthand.)
This means the current working directory is always the top
of the output directory.

fat: implement exists() for FAT fs

2014-02-19T14:47:34+00:00

This hooks into the generic "file exists" support added in an earlier
patch, and provides an implementation for the FAT filesystem.
