      Add architecture-specific global data · 5cb48582
      Simon Glass authored
      
      We plan to move architecture-specific data into a separate structure so
      that we can make the rest of it common.
      
      As a first step, create struct arch_global_data to hold these fields.
      Initially it is empty.
      
      This patch applies to all archs at once. I can split it if this is really
      a pain.

      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.

      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.

      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*"
      
      - Some boards don't link any more due to the grown code size:
        DU405, canyonlands, sequoia, socrates.

      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.

      arm/microblaze/nios/nios2/sh: Remove relocation fixups · 0630535e
      Peter Tyser authored
      
      These architectures don't need relocation fixups, so reduce their
      codesize a bit by defining CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS.
      
      Also remove the reloc_off field from their global data structures
      as it is no longer needed.
      
      Note that the location of the standalone application jump table pointer
      in the global data structure is affected by this change, breaking
      execution of standalone applications compiled for previous versions of
      U-Boot. We will therefore increment XF_VERSION in the next commit,
      which also touches this area.
