2010-08-09print_buffer: optimize & shrinkMike Frysinger
Applying a little creative format string allows us to shrink the initial data read & display loop by only calling printf once. Re-using the local data buffer to generate the string we want to display then allows us to output everything with just one printf call instead of multiple calls to the putc function. The local stack buffer needs increasing by 1 byte, but the resulting code shrink and speed up is worth it I think. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
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) { ...

2010-05-17Avoid use of divides in print_sizeNick Thompson
Modification of print_size to avoid use of divides and especially long long divides. Keep the binary scale factor in terms of bit shifts instead. This should be faster, since the previous code gave the compiler no clues that the divides where always powers of two, preventing optimisation.

2010-05-05allow print_size to print large numbers on 32-bit systemsTimur Tabi
Modify print_size() so that it can accept numbers larger than 4GB on 32-bit systems. Add support for display terabyte, petabyte, and exabyte sizes. Change the output to use International Electrotechnical Commission binary prefix standard. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com>
2010-05-05fix print_size printing fractional gigabyte numbers on 32-bit platformsTimur Tabi
In print_size(), the math that calculates the fractional remainder of a number used the same integer size as a physical address. However, the "10 *" factor of the algorithm means that a large number (e.g. 1.5GB) can overflow the integer if we're running on a 32-bit system. Therefore, we need to disassociate this function from the size of a physical address. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com>
2010-04-21Move arch/ppc to arch/powerpcStefan Roese
As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to better match the Linux directory structure. Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc" is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with scripts using this name.

2010-04-13Move libfdt/ into lib/Peter Tyser
Move the libfdt directory into the common lib/ directory to clean up the top-level directory. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
2010-04-13Rename lib_generic/ to lib/Peter Tyser
Now that the other architecture-specific lib directories have been moved out of the top-level directory there's not much reason to have the '_generic' suffix on the common lib directory. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
