When running sandbox, the following phases occur, each with different
malloc implementations or behaviors:
1) Dynamic linker execution, using the dynamic linker's own malloc()
implementation. This is fully functional.
2) After U-Boot's malloc symbol has been hooked into the GOT, but before
any U-Boot code has run. This phase is entirely non-functional, since
U-Boot's gd symbol is NULL and U-Boot's initf_malloc() and
mem_malloc_init() have not been called.
At least on Ubuntu Xenial, the dynamic linker does make both malloc() and
free() calls during this phase. Currently these free() calls crash since
they dereference gd, which is NULL.
U-Boot itself makes no use of malloc() during this phase.
3) U-Boot execution after gd is set and initf_malloc() has been called.
This is fully functional, albeit via a very simple malloc()
implementation.
4) U-Boot execution after mem_malloc_init() has been called. This is fully
functional with a complete malloc() implementation.
Furthermore, if code that called malloc() during phase 1 calls free() in
phase 3 or later, it is likely that heap corruption will occur, since
U-Boot's malloc implementation will assume the pointer is part of its own
heap, although it isn't. I have not actively observed this happening.
To prevent phase 2 from happening, this patch makes all of U-Boot's malloc
library public symbols have hidden visibility. This prevents them from
being hooked into the GOT, so only code in the U-Boot binary itself
actually calls them; any other code will call into the standard C library
malloc(). This also avoids the "furthermore" issue mentioned above.
I have seen references to this GCC pragma in blog posts from 2008, and
RHEL5's ancient gcc appears to accept it fine, so I believe it's quite
safe to use it without checking gcc version.

common/dlmalloc.c is quite big, both in .text and .data usage, therefor
on some boards the SPL is build to use only malloc_simple.c and not the
dlmalloc.c code. This is done in various include/configs/foo.h with the
following construct:
#ifdef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
#define CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
#endif
This commit introduces a SPL_MALLOC_SIMPLE Kconfig bool which allows
selecting this functionality through Kconfig instead.

To allow this function to be used from SPL, move it to the malloc()
code.

The simple malloc() implementation is used when memory is tight. It provides
a simple buffer with an incrementing pointer.
At present the implementation is inside dlmalloc. Move it into its own file
so that it is easier to find.
Rather than using relocation as a signal that the full malloc() is
available, add a special GD_FLG_FULL_MALLOC_INIT flag. This signals that the
simple malloc() should no longer be used.
In some cases, such as SPL, even the code space used by the full malloc() is
wasteful. Add a CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE option to provide only the simple
malloc. In this case the full malloc is not available at all. It saves about
1KB of code space and about 0.5KB of data on Thumb 2.

'bool' is defined in random places. This patch consolidates them into a
single header file include/linux/types.h, using stdbool.h introduced in C99.
All other #define, typedef and enum are removed. They are all consistent with
true = 1, false = 0.
Replace FALSE, False with false. Replace TRUE, True with true.
Skip *.py, *.php, lib/* files.

On architectures where manual relocation
is needed, the 'malloc_bin_reloc' function
must be called after 'mem_malloc_init'.
Make the 'malloc_bin_reloc' function static
and call it directly from 'mem_malloc_init'
instead of calling that from board_init_{r,f}
functions of the affected architectures.

assert() is like BUG_ON() but compiles to nothing unless DEBUG is defined.
This is useful when a condition is an error but a board reset is unlikely
to fix it, so it is better to soldier on in hope. Assertion failures should
be caught during development/test.
It turns out that assert() is defined separately in a few places in U-Boot
with various meanings. This patch cleans up some of these.
Build errors exposed by this change (and defining DEBUG) are also fixed in
this patch.

- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
