2010-09-19ARM (ARM11): add data cache support, test on Qong boardHeiko Schocher
Add data cache support for arm1136 systems. Enable "cache" command on Qong board and test performance. Test 1: Loading 127 MB of data from NAND flash into RAM: Instr. Cache off on on Data Cache off off on -------------------------------------------------- QONG (ARM11) 177s 95s 43s = x 4.1 Test 2: uncompressing a gzipped image from RAM to RAM (size compressed: 6.5 MiB, uncompressed: 35 MiB): Instr.

2010-09-19ARM V7 (OMAP): add data cache support, test on Beagle boardHeiko Schocher
Add data cache support for ARM V7 systems. Used cache flush functions from linux:arch/arm/mm/cache-v7.S developed from Catalin Marinas. Enable "cache" command on Beagle board and test performance. Test 1: Loading 127 MB of data from NAND flash into RAM: Instr. Cache off on on Data Cache off off on -------------------------------------------------- Beagle (Cortex A8) 116s 106s 30.3s = x 3.8 Test 2: uncompressing a gzipped image from RAM to RAM (size compressed: 6.5 MiB, uncompressed: 35 MiB): Instr.

2010-09-19ARM: cp15: setup mmu and enable dcacheHeiko Schocher
This has been tested on at91sam9263 and STN8815. Again, I didn't check if it has bad effects on non-arm926 cores. Initially I had a "done" bit to only set up page tables at the beginning. However, since the aligmnent requirement was for the whole object file, this extra integer tool 16kB in BSS, so I chose to remove it. Also, note not all boards use PHYS_SDRAM, but it looks like it's the most used name (more than CONFIG_SYS_DRAM_BASE for example).

2010-08-04Rename getenv_r() into getenv_f()Wolfgang Denk
While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM) must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function. This function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r" suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent vs. getgrent_r, etc.). Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r" generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation. To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"] Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> Acked-by: Detlev Zundel <dzu@denx.de>
2010-07-04Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk
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) { ...
