This patch fixes problems in the handling of redundant environment in env_sf.c
The major problem are double calls of free() on the allocated buffers,
which damages the internal data of malloc and crashes on next call.
In addition, the selection of the active environment had errors and compiler
warnings, which are corrected by this patch.

The non-reentrant versions of the hashtable functions operate on a single
shared hashtable. So if two different people try using these funcs for
two different purposes, they'll cause problems for the other.
Avoid this by converting all existing hashtable consumers over to the
reentrant versions and then punting the non-reentrant ones.

Functions to store/retrieve the environment from a SPI flash was not updated
to the new environment code. The non-redundant case was
not working correctly, reporting ""Environment SPI flash not initialized"
and the code was not compiled clean in the redundant case.
The patch fixes these issue and makes the code more coherent
with other environment storage (nand, flash).

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.

- Build tested on PPC and ARM only; runtime tested with NOR and NAND
flash only => needs testing!!

This patch adds redundant environment for environment in SPI flash.
I took env_flash.c as an example and slightly modified it. Apart
from adapting things to SF, I also slightly changed the decision
logic to use area 2 as a default in case the flags are wrong because
not having a default path worried me.
I did not add a section for CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH in environment.h
because I did not understand if this is desired and/or needed.
So to use the feature, one has to set CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND _and_
CONFIG_SYS_REDUNDAND_ENVIRONMENT.
I checked it by powering off my board several times during flash
erase or write, because I do not know if there are other stress
test scenarios.

The only environment type that uses this variable is spi flash, and that is
only because it is reimplementing the common set_default_env() function.
So fix the spi flash code and kill off the default_environment_size in the
process.

If both CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE are defined, and the sect
size is larger than the env size, then it means the env is embedded in a
block. So we have to save/restore the part of the sector which is not the
environment. Previously, saving the environment in SPI flash in this
setup would probably brick the board as the rest of the sector tends to
contain actual U-Boot data/code.

The CFG_ENV_SIZE is not suitable used for SPI flash erase
sector size if CFG_ENV_SIZE is less than CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE.
Add condition check if CFG_ENV_SIZE is larger than
CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, calculate the right number of sectors for
erasing.

This is pretty incomplete...it doesn't handle reading the environment
before relocation, it doesn't support redundant environment, and it
doesn't support embedded environment. But apart from that, it does
seem to work.
