2016-07-22spl: Lightweight UBI and UBI fastmap supportThomas Gleixner
Booting a payload out of NAND FLASH from the SPL is a crux today, as it requires hard partioned FLASH. Not a brilliant idea with the reliability of todays NAND FLASH chips. The upstream UBI + UBI fastmap implementation which is about to brought to u-boot is too heavy weight for SPLs as it provides way more functionality than needed for a SPL and does not even fit into the restricted SPL areas which are loaded from the SoC boot ROM. So this provides a fast and lightweight implementation of UBI scanning and UBI fastmap attach. The scan and logical to physical block mapping code is developed from scratch, while the fastmap implementation is lifted from the linux kernel source and stripped down to fit the SPL needs. The text foot print on the board which I used for development is: 6854 0 0 6854 1abd drivers/mtd/ubispl/built-in.o Attaching a NAND chip with 4096 physical eraseblocks (4 blocks are reserved for the SPL) takes: In full scan mode: 1172ms In fastmap mode: 95ms The code requires quite some storage. The largest and unknown part of it is the number of fastmap blocks to read. Therefor the data structure is not put into the BSS. The code requires a pointer to free memory handed in which is initialized by the UBI attach code itself. See doc/README.ubispl for further information on how to use it. This shares the ubi-media.h and crc32 implementation of drivers/mtd/ubi There is no way to share the fastmap code, as UBISPL only utilizes the slightly modified functions ubi_attach_fastmap() and ubi_scan_fastmap() from the original kernel ubi fastmap implementation.

2016-05-20cmd: eeprom: add support for layout aware commandsNikita Kiryanov
Introduce the (optional) eeprom print and eeprom update commands. These commands are eeprom layout aware: * The eeprom print command prints the contents of the eeprom in a human readable way (eeprom layout fields, and data formatted to be fit for human consumption). * The eeprom update command allows user to update eeprom fields by specifying the field name, and providing the new data in a human readable format (same format as displayed by the eeprom print command). * Both commands can either auto detect the layout, or be told which layout to use. New CONFIG options: CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM_LAYOUT - enables commands. CONFIG_EEPROM_LAYOUT_HELP_STRING - tells user what layout names are supported Feature API: __weak int parse_layout_version(char *str) - override to provide your own layout name parsing __weak void __eeprom_layout_assign(struct eeprom_layout *layout, int layout_version); - override to setup the layout metadata based on the version __weak int eeprom_layout_detect(unsigned char *data) - override to provide your own algorithm for detecting layout version eeprom_field.c - contains various printing and updating functions for common types of eeprom fields. Can be used for defining custom layouts.

There are already two FIT options in Kconfig but the CONFIG options are still in the header files. We need to do a proper move to fix this.

We need to make sure this option is not enabled in SPL by this change. Also this option is enabled automatically in the host builds by defining CONFIG_FIT in the image.h file. To solve this, add a new IMAGE_USE_FIT #define which can be used in files that are built on the host but must also build for U-Boot and SPL. Note: Masahiro's moveconfig.py script is amazing.

Unfortunately, it is global to all protocols, and the value is interpreted differently in all of them. Add a new environment variable that directly sets the retry period for BOOTP timeouts. If this new value is not set, the period is still derived from the default number of retries, or from CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT if defined.

When reintroducing, it might be useful to make a few changes: - Blink time would be more useful than blink count - The confusing #ifdefs should be avoided - The time functions should support driver model - It would be best keyed off console_tstc() or some similar idle loop rather than a particular input driver (i8042 in this case) Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>

2015-11-12board_init: Change the logic to setup malloc_baseFabio Estevam
Prior to commit 5ba534d247d418 ("arm: Switch 32-bit ARM to using generic global_data setup") we used to have assembly code that configured the malloc_base address. Since this commit we use the board_init_f_mem() function in C to setup malloc_base address. In board_init_f_mem() there was a deliberate choice to support only early malloc() or full malloc() in SPL, but not both. Adapt this logic to allow both to be used, one after the other, in SPL. This issue has been observed in a Congatec board, where we need to retrieve the manufacturing information from the SPI NOR (the SPI API calls malloc) prior to configuring the DRAM. In this case as malloc_base was not configured we always see malloc to fail. With this change we are able to use malloc in SPL prior to DRAM gets initialized.

2015-10-11arndale: Apply Cortex-A15 errata #773022 and #774769Ian Campbell
We run 4 Arndale boards in our automated test framework, they have been running quite happily for quite some time using a Debian Wheezy userspace. However when upgrading to a Debian Jessie we started seeing frequent segmentation faults from gcc when building the kernel, to the extent that it is unable to successfully build the kernel twice in a row, and often fails on the first attempt. Searching around I found https://bugs.launchpad.net/arndale/+bug/1081417 which pointed towards http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm-arm/msg03723.html and CPU Errata 773022 and 774769. This errata needs to be applied to all processors in an SMP system, meaning that the usual strategy of applying them in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S is not appropriate (since that applies to the boot processor only). Instead we apply these errata in the secure monitor which is code that is traversed by all processors as they are brought up. The net affect on Arndale is that ACTLR changes from 0x40 to 0x2000042. I ran 17 kernel compile iterations overnight with no segfaults. Runtime testing was done on our v2014.10 based branch and forward ported (with only minimal and trivial contextual conflicts) to current master, where it has been build tested only. I suppose in theory these errata apply to any Exynos5250 based boards, but Arndale is the only one I have access to and I have therefore chosen to be conservative and only apply it there. Also, reorder CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 in README to make the list numerically sorted. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>
