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) {
...

Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many
commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis
line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong,
but not helpful either.
Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this
partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help"
messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective)
were actually redundant.
This patch cleans this up - for example:
Before:
=> help dtt
dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat.
After:
=> help dtt
dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat
Usage:
dtt

Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update
common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of
just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields.

-Fix asm/io.h macros
-Eliminate use of CACHE_BYPASS in cpu code
-Eliminate assembler warnings
-Fix mini-app stubs and force no small data
1: - board/altera/common/flash.c:flash_erase():
o allow interrupts befor get_timer() call
o check-up each erased sector and avoid unexpected timeouts
- board/altera/dk1c20/dk1s10.c:board_early_init_f():
o enclose sevenseg_set() in cpp condition
- remove the ASMI configuration for DK1S10_standard_32 (never present)
- fix some typed in mistakes in the NIOS documentation
2: - split DK1C20 configuration into several header files:
o two new files for each NIOS CPU description
o U-Boot related part is remaining in DK1C20.h
3: - split DK1S10 configuration into several header files:
o two new files for each NIOS CPU description
o U-Boot related part is remaining in DK1S10.h
4: - Add support for the Microtronix Linux Development Kit
NIOS CPU configuration at the Altera Nios Development Kit,
Stratix Edition (DK-1S10)
5: - Add documentation for the Altera Nios Development Kit,
Stratix Edition (DK-1S10)
6: - Add support for the Nios Serial Peripharel Interface (SPI)
(master only)
7: - Add support for the common U-Boot SPI framework at
RTC driver DS1306
before we can access it; add delay in case we are faster (with no
CF card inserted)
* Cleanup of some init functions
* Make sure SCC Ethernet is always stopped by the time we boot Linux
to avoid Linux crashes by early packets coming in.
* Accelerate flash accesses on LWMON board by using buffered writes
- more documentation for NIOS port
- new struct nios_pio_t, struct nios_spi_t
- Reconfiguration for NIOS Development Kit DK1C20:
o move board related code from board/dk1c20
to board/altera/dk1c20
o create a new common source path board/altera/common
and move generic flash access stuff into it
o change/expand configuration file DK1C20.h
- Add support for NIOS Development Kit DK1S10
- Add status LED support for NIOS systems
- Add dual 7-segment LED support for Altera NIOS DevKits
- add support for Altera Nios-32 CPU
- add support for Nios Cyclone Development Kit (DK-1C20)
* Patch by Steven Scholz, 29 Sep 2003:
- A second parameter for bootm overwrites the load address for
"Standalone Application" images.
- bootm sets environment variable "filesize" to the resulting
(uncompressed) data length for "Standalone Application" images
when autostart is set to "no". Now you can do something like
if bootm $fpgadata $some_free_ram ; then
fpga load 0 $some_free_ram $filesize
fi
* Patch by Denis Peter, 25 Sept 2003:
add support for the MIP405 Rev. C board
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
