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) {

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.

Previously, a specific file or directory could be compiled with custom
CFLAGS by adding a Makefile variable such as:
CFLAGS_dlmalloc.o = <custom flags for common/dlmalloc.c>
or
CFLAGS_lib = <custom flags for lib directory>
This method breaks down once multiple files or directories share the
same path. Eg FLAGS_fileA = <custom flags> would incorrectly result in
both dir1/fileA.c and dir2/fileA.c being compiled with <custom flags>.
This change allows finer grained control which we need once we move
lib_$ARCH to arch/$ARCH/lib/ and lib_generic/ to lib/. Without this
change all lib/ directories would share the same custom CFLAGS.

While the initdram() function makes sense on some arches, it doesn't for
Blackfin systems as it's always implemented the same way.

Building the compression code in lib_generic/ with -O2 rather than -Os
gives a nice speed boost without too much code size increase.

All the Blackfin linker scripts were duplicated across the board dirs with
no difference save from the semi-often used ENV_IS_EMBEDDED option. So
unify all of them in the lib_blackfin/ dir and for the few boards that
need to embedded the environment directly, add a LDS_BOARD_TEXT define for
them to customize via their board config file. This is much simpler than
forcing them to duplicate the rest of the linker script.
