John Rigby fca43cc801 boot: change some arch ifdefs to feature ifdefs
The routines boot_ramdisk_high, boot_get_cmdline and boot_get_kbd
are currently enabled by various combinations of CONFIG_M68K,
CONFIG_POWERPC and CONFIG_SPARC.

Use CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_<FEATURE> defines instead.

CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH
CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE
CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD

Define these as appropriate in arch/include/asm/config.h files.

Wolfgang Denk 14d0a02a16 Rename TEXT_BASE into CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE
The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.

Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

Wolfgang Denk ea882baf9c New implementation for internal handling of environment variables.
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.

Wolfgang Denk 91a76751a0 Make getenv() work before relocation.
So far, getenv() would work before relocation is most cases, even
though it was not intended to be used that way.  When switching to a
hash table based implementation, this would break a number of boards.

For convenience, we make getenv() check if it's running before
relocation and, if so, use getenv_f() internally.

Note that this is limited to simple cases, as we use a small static
buffer (32 bytes) in the global data for this purpose.

For this reason, it is also not a good idea to convert all current
uses of getenv_f() into getenv() - some of the existing use cases need
to be able to deal with longer variable values, so getenv_f() is still
needed and recommended for use before relocation.

Wolfgang Denk 54841ab50c Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.
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) {
			...

Peter Tyser 819833af39 Move architecture-specific includes to arch/$ARCH/include/asm
This helps to clean up the include/ directory so that it only contains
non-architecture-specific headers and also matches Linux's directory
layout which many U-Boot developers are already familiar with.
