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) {

Also move lib_$ARCH/config.mk to arch/$ARCH/config.mk
This change is intended to clean up the top-level directory structure
and more closely mimic Linux's directory organization.

Add the ability to break the steps of the bootm command into several
subcommands: start, loados, ramdisk, fdt, bdt, cmdline, prep, go.
This allows us to do things like manipulate device trees before
they are passed to a booting kernel or setup memory for a secondary
core in multicore situations.
Not all OS types support all subcommands (currently only start, loados,
ramdisk, fdt, and go are supported).

Each architecture has different ways of determine what regions of memory
might not be valid to get overwritten when we boot. This provides a
hook to allow them to reserve any regions they care about. Currently
only ppc, m68k and sparc need/use this.

There is no need for each OS specific function to call do_reset() we
can just do it once in bootm. This means its feasible on an error for
the OS boot function to return.
Also, remove passing in cmd_tbl_t as its not needed by the OS boot
functions. flag isn't currently used but might be in the future so
we left it alone.

Created a bootm_start() that handles the parsing and detection of all
the images that will be used by the bootm command (OS, ramdisk, fdt).
As part of this we now tract all the relevant image offsets in the
bootm_headers_t struct. This will allow us to have all the needed
state for future sub-commands and lets us reduce a bit of arch
specific code on SPARC.
Created a bootm_load_os() that deals with decompression and loading
the OS image.

To allow for persistent state between future bootm subcommands we
need the lmb to exist in a global state.
Moving it into the bootm_headers_t allows us to do that.

Move determing if we have a ramdisk and where its located into the
common code. Keep track of the ramdisk start and end in the
bootm_headers_t image struct.

Move entry point code out of each arch and into common code.
Keep the entry point in the bootm_headers_t images struct.

The autostart revert caused a bit of duplicated code as well as
code that was using images->autostart that needs to get removed so
we can build again.
