Avoid using a typedef here which is unnecessary. Add an 'env_' prefix to
both the enum and its members to make it clear that these are related to
the environment.
Add an ENV prefix to these two flags so that it is clear what they relate
to. Also move them to env.h since they are part of the public API. Use an
enum rather than a #define to tie them together.

This typedef does not need to be defined in the search.h header since it
is only used in one file (hashtable.c). Remove it from the header and
change it to a struct.

U-Boot is not supposed to use typedef for structs anymore. Also this name
is the same as the ENTRY() macro used in assembler files, and 'entry'
itself is widely used in U-Boot (>8k matches).
Drop the typedef and rename the struct to env_entry to reduce confusion.

Only first previously deleted entry was recognized, leading hsearch_r
to think that there was no previously deleted entry. It then conluded
that a free entry was found, even if there were no free entries and it
overwrote a random entry.
This patch makes sure all deleted or free entries are always found and
also introduces constants for the 0 and -1 numbers. Unit tests to excersise a
simple hash table usage and catch the corruption were added.
To trash your environment, simply run this loop:
setenv i 0
while true; do
setenv v_$i $i
setenv v_$i
setexpr i $i + 1
done

The length returned by hexport_r has a few redundant characters.
This appears as NULL characters at the end so seems harmless.
Remove the surplus counts in two places
totlen += strlen(ep->key) + 2;
I'm guessing the +2 here is for = and sep char. But there is another
totlen += 2; line that does that.
size = totletn + 1;
Doesn't make sense and isn't justified with any comment.

When vars are passed to the himport_r function with H_NOCLEAR flag,
those vars will be overridden in the current environment and if one of
those vars is not in the imported environment, it'll be deleted in the
current environment whatever the flag passed to himport_r.
The H_NOCLEAR flag is used to clear the whole environment whether vars
are passed to the function or not.
This leads to incoherent behaviour. If one passes vars to himport_r
with the H_NOCLEAR flag, if a var in vars is not in the imported env,
that var will be removed from the current env.
If one passes vars to himport_r without the H_NOCLEAR flag, the whole
environment will be removed and vars will be imported from the
environment in RAM.
It makes more sense to keep the variable that is in the current
environment but not in the imported environment if the H_NOCLEAR flag is
set and remove only that variable if the H_NOCLEAR flag is not set.
Let's clear the whole environment only if H_NOCLEAR and vars are not
passed to himport_r.
Let's remove variables that are in the current environment but not in
the imported env only if the H_NOCLEAR flag is not passed.

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.

By default saveenv option is not supported for SPL. This patch
enable the support for save environment variable for SPL build.
Enable save environment support in SPL after setenv. By default
the saveenv option is not provided in SPL, but some boards need
this support in 'Falcon' boot, where SPL need to boot from
different images based on environment variable set by OS. For
example OS may set "reboot_image" environment variable to
"recovery" inorder to boot recovery image by SPL. The SPL read
"reboot_image" and act accordingly and change the reboot_image
to default mode using setenv and save the environemnt.

from file
Lets consider following scenario:
- One uses echo -n "key=value" to define environment variable in a file (single variable)
- The file content is "key=value" without any terminating byte (e.g. 0x0a or
0x0d).
- The file is loaded to u-boot non zero'ed RAM buffer (with load command).
- Then "env import -t -r $loadaddr $filesize" is executed.
- Due to lack of proper termination byte we have classical example of buffer
overrun.
This patch prevents from this by allocating one extra byte than size and
explicitly null terminate it.
There should be no change for normal env import operation after applying
this patch.

When this option is enabled, CRLF is treated like LF when importing environments
from text files, which means CRs ('\r') in front of LFs ('\n') are just ignored.
Drawback of enabling this option is that (maybe exported) variables which have
a trailing CR in their content will get imported without that CR. But this
drawback is very unlikely and the big advantage of letting Windows user create
a *working* uEnv.txt too is likely more welcome.

u-boot environments, esp. when boards are shared across multiple
users, can get pretty large and time consuming to visually parse.
The grepenv command this patch adds can be used in lieu of printenv
to facilitate searching. grepenv works like printenv but limits
its output only to environment strings (variable name and value
pairs) that match the user specified substring.
the following examples are on a board with a 5313 byte environment
that spans multiple screen pages:

commit 560d424b6d7cd4205b062ad95f1b104bd4f8bcc3 "env: re-add

the 'used' logic in hmatch_r was reversed - 'used' is 0 if
the hash table entry is not used, or -1 if deleted. This
patch makes hmatch_r actually match on valid ('used') entries,
instead of skipping them and failing to match anything.
typing 'printenv tft' and hitting 'tab' now displays valid

This patch adds a new config parameter for adjusting the calculation of
hash table size when importing a buffer.
When importing a extremely small buffer (e.g. the default_environment)
the old calculation generated a hash table which could hold at most the
buffer content but no more entires.
The new calculation add a fixed number of entries to the result to fit
better for small import buffers. This amount may be configured by the
user in board file to adjust the behaviour.

Motivation:
* Old environment code used a pessimizing implementation:
- variable lookup used linear search => slow
- changed/added variables were added at the end, i. e. most
frequently used variables had the slowest access times => slow
- each setenv() would calculate the CRC32 checksum over the whole
environment block => slow
* "redundant" envrionment was locked down to two copies
* No easy way to implement features like "reset to factory defaults",
or to select one out of several pre-defined (previously saved) sets
of environment settings ("profiles")
* No easy way to import or export environment settings
======================================================================
API Changes:
- Variable names starting with '#' are no longer allowed
I didn't find any such variable names being used; it is highly
recommended to follow standard conventions and start variable names
with an alphanumeric character
- "printenv" will now print a backslash at the end of all but the last
lines of a multi-line variable value.
Multi-line variables have never been formally defined, allthough
there is no reason not to use them. Now we define rules how to deal
with them, allowing for import and export.
- Function forceenv() and the related code in saveenv() was removed.
At the moment this is causing build problems for the only user of
this code (schmoogie - which has no entry in MAINTAINERS); may be
fixed later by implementing the "env set -f" feature.
Inconsistencies:
- "printenv" will '\\'-escape the '\n' in multi-line variables, while
"printenv var" will not do that.
======================================================================
Advantages:
- "printenv" output much better readable (sorted)
- faster!
- extendable (additional variable properties can be added)
- new, powerful features like "factory reset" or easy switching
between several different environment settings ("profiles")
Disadvantages:
- Image size grows by typically 5...7 KiB (might shrink a bit again on
systems with redundant environment with a following patch series)
======================================================================
Implemented:
- env command with subcommands:
- env print [arg ...]
same as "printenv": print environment
- env set [-f] name [arg ...]
same as "setenv": set (and delete) environment variables
["-f" - force setting even for read-only variables - not
implemented yet.]
- end delete [-f] name
not implemented yet
["-f" - force delete even for read-only variables]
- env save
same as "saveenv": save environment
- env export [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
export internal representation (hash table) in formats usable for
persistent storage or processing:
-t: export as text format; if size is given, data will be
padded with '\0' bytes; if not, one terminating '\0'
will be added (which is included in the "filesize"
setting so you can for exmple copy this to flash and
keep the termination).
-b: export as binary format (name=value pairs separated by
'\0', list end marked by double "\0\0")
-c: export as checksum protected environment format as
used for example by "saveenv" command
addr: memory address where environment gets stored
size: size of output buffer
With "-c" and size is NOT given, then the export command will
format the data as currently used for the persistent storage,
i. e. it will use CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE as output block size and
prepend a valid CRC32 checksum and, in case of resundant
environment, a "current" redundancy flag. If size is given, this
value will be used instead of CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE; again, CRC32
checksum and redundancy flag will be inserted.
With "-b" and "-t", always only the real data (including a
terminating '\0' byte) will be written; here the optional size
argument will be used to make sure not to overflow the user
provided buffer; the command will abort if the size is not
sufficient. Any remainign space will be '\0' padded.
On successful return, the variable "filesize" will be set.
Note that filesize includes the trailing/terminating '\0'
byte(s).
Usage szenario: create a text snapshot/backup of the current
settings:
=> env export -t 100000
=> era ${backup_addr} +${filesize}
=> cp.b 100000 ${backup_addr} ${filesize}
Re-import this snapshot, deleting all other settings:
=> env import -d -t ${backup_addr}
- env import [-d] [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
import external format (text or binary) into hash table,
optionally deleting existing values:
-d: delete existing environment before importing;
otherwise overwrite / append to existion definitions
-t: assume text format; either "size" must be given or the
text data must be '\0' terminated
-b: assume binary format ('\0' separated, "\0\0" terminated)
-c: assume checksum protected environment format
addr: memory address to read from
size: length of input data; if missing, proper '\0'
termination is mandatory
- env default -f
reset default environment: drop all environment settings and load
default environment
- env ask name [message] [size]
same as "askenv": ask for environment variable
- env edit name
same as "editenv": edit environment variable
- env run
same as "run": run commands in an environment variable
======================================================================
TODO:
- drop default env as implemented now; provide a text file based
initialization instead (eventually using several text files to
incrementally build it from common blocks) and a tool to convert it
into a binary blob / object file.
- It would be nice if we could add wildcard support for environment
variables; this is needed for variable name auto-completion,
but it would also be nice to be able to say "printenv ip*" or
"printenv *addr*"

This implementation is based on code from uClibc-0.9.30.3 but was
modified and extended for use within U-Boot.
Major modifications and extensions:
* hsearch() [modified / extended]:
- While the standard version does not make any assumptions about
the type of the stored data objects at all, this implementation
works with NUL terminated strings only.
- Instead of storing just pointers to the original objects, we
create local copies so the caller does not need to care about the
data any more.
- The standard implementation does not provide a way to update an
existing entry. This version will create a new entry or update an
existing one when both "action == ENTER" and "item.data != NULL".
- hsearch_r(): Instead of returning 1 on success, we return the
index into the internal hash table, which is also guaranteed to be
positive. This allows us direct access to the found hash table
slot for example for functions like hdelete().
* hdelete() [added]:
- The standard implementation of hsearch(3) does not provide any way
to delete any entries from the hash table. We extend the code to
do that.
* hexport() [added]:
- Export the data stored in the hash table in linearized form:
Entries are exported as "name=value" strings, separated by an
arbitrary (non-NUL, of course) separator character. This allows to
use this function both when formatting the U-Boot environment for
external storage (using '\0' as separator), but also when using it
for the "printenv" command to print all variables, simply by using
as '\n" as separator. This can also be used for new features like
exporting the environment data as text file, including the option
for later re-import.
- The entries in the result list will be sorted by ascending key
values.
* himport() [added]:
- Import linearized data into hash table. This is the inverse
function to hexport(): it takes a linear list of "name=value"
pairs and creates hash table entries from it.
- Entries without "value", i. e. consisting of only "name" or
"name=", will cause this entry to be deleted from the hash table.
- The "flag" argument can be used to control the behaviour: when
the H_NOCLEAR bit is set, then an existing hash table will kept,
i. e. new data will be added to an existing hash table;
otherwise, old data will be discarded and a new hash table will
be created.
- The separator character for the "name=value" pairs can be
selected, so we both support importing from externally stored
environment data (separated by NUL characters) and from plain text
files (entries separated by newline characters).
- To allow for nicely formatted text input, leading white space
(sequences of SPACE and TAB chars) is ignored, and entries
starting (after removal of any leading white space) with a '#'
character are considered comments and ignored.
- NOTE: this means that a variable name cannot start with a '#'
character.
- When using a non-NUL separator character, backslash is used as
escape character in the value part, allowing for example fo
multi-line values.
- In theory, arbitrary separator characters can be used, but only
'\0' and '\n' have really been tested.
