2020-07-17treewide: convert bd_t to struct bd_info by coccinelleMasahiro Yamada
The Linux coding style guide (Documentation/process/coding-style.rst) clearly says: It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers. Besides, using typedef for structures is annoying when you try to make headers self-contained. Let's say you have the following function declaration in a header: void foo(bd_t *bd); This is not self-contained since bd_t is not defined. To tell the compiler what 'bd_t' is, you need to include <asm/u-boot.h> #include <asm/u-boot.h> void foo(bd_t *bd); Then, the include direcective pulls in more bloat needlessly. If you use 'struct bd_info' instead, it is enough to put a forward declaration as follows: struct bd_info; void foo(struct bd_info *bd); Right, typedef'ing bd_t is a mistake. I used coccinelle to generate this commit. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: <smpl> @@ typedef bd_t; @@ -bd_t +struct bd_info </smpl> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

Move this header out of the common header. Network support is used in quite a few places but it still does not warrant blanket inclusion. Note that this net.h header itself has quite a lot in it.

2018-05-07SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel styleTom Rini
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line) and with slightly different comment styles than us. In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style. This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag and have introduced one. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>
2018-01-10build: Drop CONFIG_SPL_BUILD guards in some casesTom Rini
Given gcc-6.1 and later we can now safely have strings discarded when the functions are unused. This lets us drop certain cases of not building something so that we don't have the strings brought in when the code was discarded. Simplify the code now by dropping guards we don't need now.

2017-08-26board/spear/common: move code to arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/spear/Thomas Petazzoni
The code in board/spear/common/ is not board-specific but SoC-specific. Therefore, boards from other vendors than "spear" may want to re-use this code, which is currently difficult with the code being placed in board/spear/common/. Since this code really is SoC-specific, this commit moves it to arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/spear/, with the rest of the SPEAr related code.

2017-08-13spl: add hierarchical defaults for SPL_LDSCRIPTPhilipp Tomsich
With SPL_LDSCRIPT moved to Kconfig (and this being a 'string' config node), all the lingering definitions in header files will cause warnings/errors due to the redefinition of the configuration item. As we don't want to pollute the defconfig files (and values should usually be identical for entire architectures), the defaults are moved into Kconfig. Kconfig will always pick the first default that matches, so please keep these values at the end of each file (to allow any board-specific Kconfig, which will be included earlier) to override with an unconditional default setting.

2014-07-30kconfig: add board Kconfig and defconfig filesMasahiro Yamada
This commit adds: - arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig provide a menu to select target boards - board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board - configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig default setting of each board (This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script based on boards.cfg) In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory. It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the command line for cross compile. But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line. Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done. That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a single directory ./configs/.

2014-02-07net/designware - switch driver to phylib usageAlexey Brodkin
With this change driver will benefit from existing phylib and thus custom phy functionality implemented in the driver will go away: * Instantiation of the driver is now much shorter - 2 parameters instead of 4. * Simplified phy management/functoinality in driver is replaced with rich functionality of phylib. * Support of custom phy initialization is now done with existing "board_phy_config". Note that after this change some previously used config options (driver-specific PHY configuration) will be obsolete and they are simply substituted with similar options of phylib. For example: * CONFIG_DW_AUTONEG - no need in this one. Autonegotiation is enabled by default. * CONFIG_DW_SEARCH_PHY - if one wants to specify attached phy explicitly CONFIG_PHY_ADDR board config option has to be used, otherwise automatically the first discovered on MDIO bus phy will be used I believe there's no need now in "doc/README.designware_eth" because user only needs to instantiate the driver with "designware_initialize" whose prototype exists in "include/netdev.h".

2012-07-07SPEAr: Enable dcache for fast file transferShiraz Hashim
Enable data cache with 1:1 mapping of DDR to enable fast file transfer over tty which was doing lot of copy. This feature is enabled only for flashing operation i.e. when CONFIG_SPEAR_USBTTY is enabled. This has been tested on SPEAr320, SPEAr600 and SPEAr900 evaluation boards. Following figures show an estimate on the performance improvements. The test setup was a Linux host (not Windows) and involved measurement of only binary transfer time, through kermit. The flash erase and flash copy time would be unaffected by these patches. Another thing is this that the timings remained more or less same across ARM9 and Cortex based devices, hence reporting only one of the cases.

2010-11-17Switch from archive libraries to partial linkingSebastien Carlier
Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols". This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended. This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is inspired. The name of each former library archive is preserved except for extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker scripts. This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but include source files that depend these disabled features in the build, resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include: - disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS; - enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE. Signed-off-by: Sebastien Carlier <sebastien.carlier@gmail.com>

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) { ...
