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) {
...

This patch fixes the run-time error on div64 when built with
gcc4, which was reported by jhwu0625 on nios forum. It merges
math support from libgcc of gcc4. This patch is copied from
nios2-linux.
It works with both gcc3 and gcc4. The old mult.c, divmod.c and
math.h are removed.

The "-ffixed-r15" option doesn't work well for gcc4. Since we
don't use gp for small data with option "-G0", we can use gp
as global data pointer. This allows compiler to use r15. It
is necessary for gcc4 to work properly.

This patch adds driver for a trivial gpio core, which is described
in http://nioswiki.com/GPIO. It is used for gpio led and nand flash
interface in u-boot.
When CONFIG_SYS_GPIO_BASE is not defined, board may provide
its own driver.

This helps to clean up the include/ directory so that it only contains
non-architecture-specific headers and also matches Linux's directory
layout which many U-Boot developers are already familiar with.

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.
