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.

Fixed some broken instances of "#ifdef CMD_CFG_IDE" too.
Those always evaluated TRUE, and thus were always compiled
even when IDE really wasn't defined/wanted.

This is a compatibility step that allows both the older form
and the new form to co-exist for a while until the older can
be removed entirely.
All transformations are of the form:
Before:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
After:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT) || defined(CONFIG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)

- 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)
- Hymod board database mods: add "who" field and new xilinx chip types
- provide new "init_cmd_timeout()" function so code external to
"common/main.c" can use the "reset_cmd_timeout()" function before
entering the main loop
- add DTT support for adm1021 (new file dtt/adm1021.c; config
slightly different. see include/configs/hymod.h for an example
(requires CONFIG_DTT_ADM1021, CONFIG_DTT_SENSORS, and
CFG_DTT_ADM1021 defined)
- add new "eeprom_probe()" function which has similar args and
behaves in a similar way to "eeprom_read()" etc.
- add 8260 FCC ethernet loopback code (new "eth_loopback_test()"
function which is enabled by defining CONFIG_ETHER_LOOPBACK_TEST)
- gdbtools copyright update
- ensure that set_msr() executes the "sync" and "isync" instructions
after the "mtmsr" instruction in cpu/mpc8260/interrupts.c
- 8260 I/O ports fix: Open Drain should be set last when configuring
- add SIU IRQ defines for 8260
- allow LDSCRIPT override and OBJCFLAGS initialization: change to
config.mk to allow board configurations to override the GNU
linker script, selected via the LDSCRIPT, make variable, and to
give an initial value to the OBJCFLAGS make variable
- 8260 i2c enhancement:
o correctly extends the timeout depending on the size of all
queued messages for both transmit and receive
o will not continue with receive if transmit times out
o ensures that the error callback is done for all queued tx
and rx messages
o correctly detects both tx and rx timeouts, only delivers one to
the callback, and does not overwrite an earlier error
o logic in i2c_probe now correct
- add "vprintf()" function so that "panic()" function can be
technically correct
- many Hymod board changes
Change behaviour of NetLoop(): return -1 for errors, filesize
otherwise; return code 0 is valid an means no file loaded - in this
case the environment still gets updated!
* Patches by Jon Diekema, 9 Nov 2002:
- improve ADC/DAC clocking on the SACSng board to align
the failing edges of LRCLK and SCLK
- sbc8260 configuration tweaks
- add status LED support for 82xx systems
- wire sspi/sspo commands into command handler; improved error
handlering
- add timestamp support and alternate memory test to the
SACSng configuration
