* Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk2010-07-04-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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) { ...

* MPC512x: workaround data corruption for unaligned local bus accessesWolfgang Denk2010-06-29-76/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 460c2ce3 "MPC5200: workaround data corruption for unaligned local bus accesses" fixed the problem for MPC5200 only, but MPC512x is affected as well, so apply the same fix here, too.

* MPC5200: workaround data corruption for unaligned local bus accessesWolfgang Denk2010-06-23-0/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MPC5200 has a nasty problem that will cause silent data corruption when performing unaligned 16 or 32 byte accesses when reading from the local bus - typically this affects reading from flash. The problem can be easily shown: => md fc0c0000 10 fc0c0000: 323e4337 01626f6f 74636d64 3d72756e 2>C7.bootcmd=run fc0c0010: 206e6574 5f6e6673 00626f6f 7464656c net_nfs.bootdel fc0c0020: 61793d35 00626175 64726174 653d3131 ay=5.baudrate=11 fc0c0030: 35323030 00707265 626f6f74 3d656368 5200.preboot=ech => md fc0c0001 10 fc0c0001: 65636801 00000074 0000003d 00000020 ech....t...=... fc0c0011: 0000005f 00000000 00000074 00000061 ..._.......t...a fc0c0021: 00000000 00000064 00000065 00000035 .......d...e...5 fc0c0031: 00000000 00000062 0000003d 0000006f .......b...=...o => md.w fc0c0001 10 fc0c0001: 0000 3701 0000 6f74 0000 643d 0000 6e20 ..7...ot..d=..n fc0c0011: 0000 745f 0000 7300 0000 6f74 0000 6c61 ..t_..s...ot..la This commit implements a workaround at least for the most blatant problem: using memcpy() from NOR flash. We rename the assembler routine into __memcpy() and provide a wrapper, which will use a byte-wise copy loop for unaligned source or target addresses when reading from NOR flash, and branch to the optimized __memcpy() in all other cases, thus minimizing the performance impact. Tested on lite5200b and TQM5200S. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> Cc: Detlev Zundel <dzu@denx.de>
* powerpc: Consolidate bootcount_{store|load} for PowerPCStefan Roese2010-05-06-20/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch consolidates bootcount_{store|load} for PowerPC by implementing a common version in arch/powerpc/lib/bootcount.c. This code is now used by all PowerPC variants that currently have these functions implemented. The functions now use the proper IO-accessor functions to read/write the values. This code also supports two different bootcount versions: a) Use 2 separate words (2 * 32bit) to store the bootcounter b) Use only 1 word (2 * 16bit) to store the bootcounter Version b) was already used by MPC5xxx.

* serial: struct serial_device: add uninit() entry for driversAnatolij Gustschin2010-04-24-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Subsequent patch extends mpc512x serial driver to support multiple PSC ports. The driver will provide an uninit() function to stop the serial controller and to disable the controller's clock. Adding uninit() entry to struct serial_device allows disabling the serial controller after usage of a stdio serial device. This patch adds uninit() entry to the struct serial_device and fixes initialization of this structure in the code accordingly. Signed-off-by: Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de>
* Move arch/ppc to arch/powerpcStefan Roese2010-04-21-0/+6010
As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to better match the Linux directory structure. Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc" is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with scripts using this name.
