* avr32/m68k/microblaze/nds32/nios2/openrisc/sh/sparc: fix do_bootm_linuxAndreas Bießmann2013-07-02-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 35fc84fa1ff51e15ecd3e464dac87eb105ffed30 broke bootm on avr32. It requires to call do_bootm_linux() with flag set to BOOTM_STATE_OS_PREP before calling it again with flag set to BOOTM_STATE_OS_GO. Fix this by allowing flag set to BOOTM_STATE_OS_PREP, this however will require a complete refactoring later on.

* Clarify bootm OS argumentsSimon Glass2013-06-26-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present the arguments to bootm are processed in a somewhat confusing way. Sub-functions must know how many arguments their calling functions have processed, and the OS boot function must also have this information. Also it isn't obvious that 'bootm' and 'bootm start' provide arguments in the same way. Adjust the code so that arguments are removed from the list before calling a sub-function. This means that all functions can know that argv[0] is the first argument of which they need to take notice. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

| * Refactor linker-generated arraysAlbert ARIBAUD2013-03-12-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor linker-generated array code so that symbols which were previously linker-generated are now compiler- generated. This causes relocation records of type R_ARM_ABS32 to become R_ARM_RELATIVE, which makes code which uses LGA able to run before relocation as well as after. Note: this affects more than ARM targets, as linker- lists span possibly all target architectures, notably PowerPC.

* | Introduce generic link section.h symbol filesSimon Glass2013-03-15-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We create a separate header file for link symbols defined by the link scripts. It is helpful to have these all in one place and try to make them common across architectures. Since Linux already has a similar file, we bring this in even though many of the symbols there are not relevant to us. Each architecture has its own asm/sections.h where symbols specifc to that architecture can be added. For now everything except AVR32 just includes the generic header. One change is needed in arch/avr32/lib/board.c to make this conversion work. Reviewed-by: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> (version 5) Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* | Replace __bss_end__ with __bss_endSimon Glass2013-03-15-4/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Note this is a tree-wide change affecting multiple architectures. At present we use __bss_start, but mostly __bss_end__. This seems inconsistent and in a number of places __bss_end is used instead. Change to use __bss_end for the BSS end symbol throughout U-Boot. This makes it possible to use the asm-generic/sections.h file on all archs. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

* POST: add post_log_res field for post results in global dataValentin Longchamp2011-10-05-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current post_log_word in global data is currently split into 2x 16 bits: half for the test start, half for the test success. Since we alredy have more than 16 POST tests defined and more could be defined, this may result in an overflow and the post_output_backlog would not work for the tests defined further of these 16 positions. An additional field is added to global data so that we can now support up to 32 (depending of architecture) tests. The post_log_word is only used to record the start of the test and the new field post_log_res for the test success (or failure). The post_output_backlog is for this change also adapted.

* Handle most LDSCRIPT setting centrallyScott Wood2011-04-30-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, some linker scripts are found by common code in config.mk. Some are found using CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT, but the code for that is sometimes in arch config.mk and sometimes in board config.mk. Some are found using an arch-specific rule for looking in CPUDIR, etc. Further, the powerpc config.mk rule relied on CONFIG_NAND_SPL when it really wanted CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT -- which covered up the fact that not all NAND_U_BOOT builds actually wanted CPUDIR/u-boot-nand.lds. Replace all of this -- except for a handful of boards that are actually selecting a linker script in a unique way -- with centralized ldscript finding. If board code specifies LDSCRIPT, that will be used. Otherwise, if CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT is specified, that will be used. If neither of these are specified, then the central config.mk will check for the existence of the following, in order: $(TOPDIR)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds (only if CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT) $(TOPDIR)/$(CPUDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds (only if CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT) $(TOPDIR)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot.lds $(TOPDIR)/$(CPUDIR)/u-boot.lds Some boards (sc3, cm5200, munices) provided their own u-boot.lds that were dead code, because they were overridden by a CPUDIR u-boot.lds under the old powerpc rules. These boards' own u-boot.lds have bitrotted and no longer work -- these lds files have been removed. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Tested-by: Graeme Russ <graeme.russ@gmail.com>

* Switch from archive libraries to partial linkingSebastien Carlier2010-11-17-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols". This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended. This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is inspired. The name of each former library archive is preserved except for extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker scripts. This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but include source files that depend these disabled features in the build, resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include: - disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS; - enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE. Signed-off-by: Sebastien Carlier <sebastien.carlier@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

In the case where boot_get_fdt returns an error bootm_start returns and the platform specific do_bootm_linux routines will never get called. Also only check argv[3] for an fdt addr if argc > 3 first.

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. => cc: Matthias Fuchs <matthias.fuchs@esd-electronics.com>, Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>, Heiko Schocher <hs@denx.de> - Dropping forceenv() causes build problems on schmoogie => cc: Sergey Kubushyn <ksi@koi8.net> - Build tested on PPC and ARM only; runtime tested with NOR and NAND flash only => needs testing!!
