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) { ...

2009-06-12General help message cleanupWolfgang Denk
Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong, but not helpful either. Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help" messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective) were actually redundant. This patch cleans this up - for example: Before: => help dtt dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat Usage: dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat. After: => help dtt dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat Usage: dtt Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
2009-01-28Command usage cleanupPeter Tyser
Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>

2008-04-18allow ports to override go behaviorMike Frysinger
Split the arch-specific logic out of the common go code and into a dedicated weak function called do_go_exec() that lives in cpu directories. This will need review from i386/nios people to make sure I didn't break them.
2008-04-13disable caches before booting an app for Blackfin appsMike Frysinger
It isn't generally save to execute applications outside of U-Boot with caches enabled due to the way the Blackfin processor handles caches (requires software assistance). This patch disables caches before booting an ELF or just booting raw code. The previous discussion on the patch was that we wanted to use weaks instead, but that proved to not be feasible when multiple symbols are involved, which puts us back at the ifdef solution. I've minimized the ugliness by moving the setup step outside of the main function. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

2006-03-31GCC-4.x fixes: clean up global data pointer initialization for all boards.Wolfgang Denk
2003-10-08* Patch by Scott McNutt, 04 Oct 2003:wdenk
- add support for Altera Nios-32 CPU - add support for Nios Cyclone Development Kit (DK-1C20) * Patch by Steven Scholz, 29 Sep 2003: - A second parameter for bootm overwrites the load address for "Standalone Application" images. - bootm sets environment variable "filesize" to the resulting (uncompressed) data length for "Standalone Application" images when autostart is set to "no". Now you can do something like if bootm $fpgadata $some_free_ram ; then fpga load 0 $some_free_ram $filesize fi * Patch by Denis Peter, 25 Sept 2003: add support for the MIP405 Rev. C board
