* Replace CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_SIZE by auto-generated valueWolfgang Denk2010-10-26-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* nios2: fix out of reach case for do_resetThomas Chou2010-08-19-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a limitation (or bug?) of nios2 toolchain. The nios2 gcc didn't generate correct code when the reset vector is passed as a constant. It just generated a direct "call", which was wrong when the reset vector was not located in the same 256MB span as u-boot. The "Nios II Processor Reference Handbook" said, "call can transfer execution anywhere within the 256 MByte range determined by PC31..28. The Nios II GNU linker does not automatically handle cases in which the address is out of this range." So we have to use registered "callr" instruction to do the job.

* Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk2010-07-04-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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) { ...

* nios2: fix r15 issue for gcc4Thomas Chou2010-05-28-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The "-ffixed-r15" option doesn't work well for gcc4. Since we don't use gp for small data with option "-G0", we can use gp as global data pointer. This allows compiler to use r15. It is necessary for gcc4 to work properly. Signed-off-by: Thomas Chou <thomas@wytron.com.tw> Signed-off-by: Scott McNutt <smcnutt@psyent.com>
