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) {

The AmigaOneG3SE board has been orphaned or a very long time, and
broken for more than 12 releases resp. more than 3 years. As nobody
seems to be interested any more in this stuff we may as well ged rid
of it, especially as it clutters many areas of the code so it is a
continuous pain for all kinds of ongoing work.

Booting a "Multi-File Image" including a linux kernel, ramdisk and

If you really want to slim down U-Boot and you would rather use a higher
compression scheme (like LZMA), it'd be nice to disable gzip/zlib since
these code bases take up a significant amount of space.

Current code uses the second argument to bootm for standalone images to
override the load address specified in the image instead of passing all
parameters as is to the application. This behaviour is not documented
and not in line with how the go command works for standalone applications,
so we simply drop it.

Add lzop decompression support to the existing lzo bitstream handling
(think gzip versus zlib), and support it for uImage decompression if
CONFIG_LZO is enabled.
Lzop doesn't compress as good as gzip (~10% worse), but decompression
is very fast (~0.7s faster here on a slow ppc). The lzop decompression
code is based on Albin Tonnerre's recent ARM Linux lzo support patch.

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:

Although load address and image start address are same address,

That is unnecessary memmove and can be taken few milliseconds
(about 500 msec to 1000 msec).
If skip this memmove, we can reduce the boot time.

U-Boot's gunzip() function does not handle the return code
of zlib's inflate() function correctly. gunzip() is implemented
to uncompress all input data in one run. So the correct return
code for the good case is Z_STREAM_END. In case of insufficient
output buffer memory inflate returns Z_OK. For gunzip() this
is an error.
It also makes sense to me to call inflateEnd() also in case
of an error.

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).

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.
