* do_reset: unify duplicate prototypesMike Frysinger2010-11-28-1/+0
| | | | | | | The duplication of the do_reset prototype has gotten out of hand, and they're not all in sync. Unify them all in command.h. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* fdt relocate: have more attention to use a bootmap or notStephan Linz2010-08-08-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Platforms with flat device tree support can use a bootmap to relocate the fdt_blob. This is not a must. That's why the relocation function boot_relocate_fdt() should be use only if CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT was defined together with CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ (see common/cmd_bootm.c). On MicroBlaze platforms there is no need to use a bootmap to relocate a fdt blob. So we need a more precise focus on the compilation and usage of boot_relocate_fdt(). In general it is valid to exclude the function boot_relocate_fdt() if the bootmap size CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is not defined. Signed-off-by: Stephan Linz <linz@li-pro.net>
* 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) { ...

* ppc: unused memory region too close to current stack pointerNorbert van Bolhuis2010-05-05-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This avoids a possible overwrite of the (end of) ramdisk by u-boot. The unused memory region for ppc boot currently starts 1k below the do_bootm->bootm_start->arch_lmb_reserve stack ptr. This isn't enough since do_bootm->do_bootm_linux->boot_relocate_fdt calls printf which may very well use more than 1k stack space. Signed-off-by: Norbert van Bolhuis <nvbolhuis@aimvalley.nl>
* Move arch/ppc to arch/powerpcStefan Roese2010-04-21-0/+367
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.
