2018-07-24hashtable: Fix length calculation in hexport_rZubair Lutfullah Kakakhel
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. Signed-off-by: Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel <zubair@resin.io>
2018-07-20hashtable: do not recreate whole hash table if vars are passed to himport_rQuentin Schulz
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.

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>
2016-10-08spl: saveenv: adding saveenv support in SPLB, Ravi
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.

2015-09-15env: import: hashtable: Prevent buffer overrun when importing environment ↵Lukasz Majewski
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.

2014-07-22Add option -r to env import to allow import of text files with CRLF as line ↵Alexander Holler
endings 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. Signed-off-by: Alexander Holler <holler@ahsoftware.de>

2011-04-28common: add a grepenv commandKim Phillips
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: Example 1: summarize ethernet configuration: => grepenv eth TSEC etact=FM1@DTSEC2 eth=FM1@DTSEC4 ethact=FM1@DTSEC2 eth1addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:01 eth2addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:02 eth3addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:03 eth4addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:04 eth5addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:05 eth6addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:06 eth7addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:07 eth8addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:08 eth9addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:09 ethaddr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:00 netdev=eth0 uprcw=setenv ethact $eth;setenv filename p4080ds/R_PPSXX_0xe/rcw_0xe_2sgmii_rev2_high.bin;setenv start 0xe8000000;protect off all;run upimage;protect on all upuboot=setenv ethact $eth;setenv filename u-boot.bin;setenv start eff80000;protect off all;run upimage;protect on all upucode=setenv ethact $eth;setenv filename fsl_fman_ucode_P4080_101_6.bin;setenv start 0xef000000;protect off all;run upimage;protect on all usdboot=setenv ethact $eth;tftp 1000000 $dir/$bootfile;tftp 2000000 $dir/initramfs.cpio.gz.uboot;tftp c00000 $dir/p4080ds-usdpaa.dtb;setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200 $othbootargs;bootm 1000000 2000000 c00000; => Example 2: detect unused env vars: => grepenv etact etact=FM1@DTSEC2 => Example 3: reveal hardcoded variables; e.g., for fdtaddr: => grepenv fdtaddr fdtaddr=c00000 nfsboot=setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=$serverip:$rootpath ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname:$netdev:off console=$consoledev,$baudrate $othbootargs;tftp $loadaddr $bootfile;tftp $fdtaddr $fdtfile;bootm $loadaddr - $fdtaddr ramboot=setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram rw console=$consoledev,$baudrate $othbootargs;tftp $ramdiskaddr $ramdiskfile;tftp $loadaddr $bootfile;tftp $fdtaddr $fdtfile;bootm $loadaddr $ramdiskaddr $fdtaddr => grep $fdtaddr fdtaddr=c00000 my_boot=bootm 0x40000000 0x41000000 0x00c00000 my_dtb=tftp 0x00c00000 $prefix/p4080ds.dtb nohvboot=tftp 1000000 $dir/$bootfile;tftp 2000000 $dir/$ramdiskfile;tftp c00000 $dir/$fdtfile;setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram rw ramdisk_size=0x10000000 console=ttyS0,115200;bootm 1000000 2000000 c00000; => This patch also enables the grepenv command by default on corenet_ds based boards (and repositions the DHCP command entry to keep the list sorted).

2010-09-19New implementation for internal handling of environment variables.Wolfgang Denk
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*" - Some boards don't link any more due to the grown code size: DU405, canyonlands, sequoia, socrates. => cc: Matthias Fuchs <matthias.fuchs@esd-electronics.com>, Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>, Heiko Schocher <hs@denx.de> - Dropping forceenv() causes build problems on schmoogie => cc: Sergey Kubushyn <ksi@koi8.net> - Build tested on PPC and ARM only; runtime tested with NOR and NAND flash only => needs testing!!

2010-09-19Add hash table support as base for new environment codeWolfgang Denk
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.
