u-boot

upstream u-boot with additional patches for our devices/boards: https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2017-March/282789.html (AXP crashes) ; Gbit ethernet patch for some LIME2 revisions ; with SPI flash support

History

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) { ...
