This commit introduces new config: CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_CLEAR_ON_INIT.
This config is an expert option and is enabled by default.
The all amount of memory reserved for the malloc, is by default set
to zero in mem_malloc_init(). When the malloc reserved memory exceeds
few MiB, then the boot process can slow down.
So disabling this config, is an expert option to reduce the boot time,
and can be disabled by Kconfig.
Note:
After disable this option, only calloc() will return the pointer
to the zeroed memory area. Previously, without this option,
the memory pointed to untouched malloc memory region, was filled
with zeros. So it means, that code with malloc() calls should
be reexamined.

The simple malloc() implementation is used when memory is tight. It provides
a simple buffer with an incrementing pointer.
At present the implementation is inside dlmalloc. Move it into its own file
so that it is easier to find.
Rather than using relocation as a signal that the full malloc() is
available, add a special GD_FLG_FULL_MALLOC_INIT flag. This signals that the
simple malloc() should no longer be used.
In some cases, such as SPL, even the code space used by the full malloc() is
wasteful. Add a CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE option to provide only the simple
malloc. In this case the full malloc is not available at all. It saves about
1KB of code space and about 0.5KB of data on Thumb 2.

Attempting to run the sandbox leads to a segfault, because some dynamic
libraries (outside of u-boot) attempt to use malloc() to allocate memory
before u-boot's gd variable is initialized.
Check for gd not being NULL in the SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN handling, so that
malloc() doesn't crash when called at this point.

If we are to have driver model before relocation we need to support some
way of calling memory allocation routines.
The standard malloc() is pretty complicated:
1. It uses some BSS memory for its state, and BSS is not available before
relocation
2. It supports algorithms for reducing memory fragmentation and improving
performace of free(). Before relocation we could happily just not support
free().
3. It includes about 4KB of code (Thumb 2) and 1KB of data. However since
this has been loaded anyway this is not really a problem.
The simplest way to support pre-relocation malloc() is to reserve an area
of memory and allocate it in increasing blocks as needed. This
implementation does this.
To enable it, you need to define the size of the malloc() pool as described
in the README. It will be located above the pre-relocation stack on
supported architectures.
Note that this implementation is only useful on machines which have some
memory available before dram_init() is called - this includes those that
do no DRAM init (like tegra) and those that do it in SPL (quite a few
boards). Enabling driver model preior to relocation for the rest of the
boards is left for a later exercise.

On architectures where manual relocation
is needed, the 'malloc_bin_reloc' function
must be called after 'mem_malloc_init'.
Make the 'malloc_bin_reloc' function static
and call it directly from 'mem_malloc_init'
instead of calling that from board_init_{r,f}
functions of the affected architectures.

assert() is like BUG_ON() but compiles to nothing unless DEBUG is defined.
This is useful when a condition is an error but a board reset is unlikely
to fix it, so it is better to soldier on in hope. Assertion failures should
be caught during development/test.
It turns out that assert() is defined separately in a few places in U-Boot
with various meanings. This patch cleans up some of these.
Build errors exposed by this change (and defining DEBUG) are also fixed in
this patch.

Since we set #define MORECORE_CLEARS 1, the code assumes 'sbrk' always
returns zero'd out memory. However since its possible that free()
returns memory back to sbrk() via malloc_trim we could possible get
non-zero'd memory from sbrk(). This is a problem for when code might
call calloc() and expect the memory to have been zero'd out.
There are two possible solutions to this problem.
1. change #define MORECORE_CLEARS 0
2. memset to zero memory returned to sbrk.
We go with the second since the sbrk being called to free up memory
should be pretty rare.
The following code problems an example test to show the issue. This
test code was inserted right after the call to mem_malloc_init().
...
u8 *p2;
int i;
printf("MALLOC TEST\n");
p1 = malloc(135176);
printf("P1 = %p\n", p1);
memset(p1, 0xab, 135176);
free(p1);
p2 = calloc(4097, 1);
printf("P2 = %p %p\n", p2, p2 + 4097);
for (i = 0; i < 4097; i++) {
if (p2[i] != 0)
printf("miscompare at byte %d got %x\n", i, p2[i]);
free(p2);
printf("END MALLOC TEST\n\n");

Motivation:
* Old environment code used a pessimizing implementation:
- variable lookup used linear search => slow
- changed/added variables were added at the end, i. e. most
frequently used variables had the slowest access times => slow
- each setenv() would calculate the CRC32 checksum over the whole
environment block => slow
* "redundant" envrionment was locked down to two copies
* No easy way to implement features like "reset to factory defaults",
or to select one out of several pre-defined (previously saved) sets
of environment settings ("profiles")
* No easy way to import or export environment settings
======================================================================
API Changes:
- Variable names starting with '#' are no longer allowed
I didn't find any such variable names being used; it is highly
recommended to follow standard conventions and start variable names
with an alphanumeric character
- "printenv" will now print a backslash at the end of all but the last
lines of a multi-line variable value.
Multi-line variables have never been formally defined, allthough
there is no reason not to use them. Now we define rules how to deal
with them, allowing for import and export.
- Function forceenv() and the related code in saveenv() was removed.
At the moment this is causing build problems for the only user of
this code (schmoogie - which has no entry in MAINTAINERS); may be
fixed later by implementing the "env set -f" feature.
Inconsistencies:
- "printenv" will '\\'-escape the '\n' in multi-line variables, while
"printenv var" will not do that.
======================================================================
Advantages:
- "printenv" output much better readable (sorted)
- faster!
- extendable (additional variable properties can be added)
- new, powerful features like "factory reset" or easy switching
between several different environment settings ("profiles")
Disadvantages:
- Image size grows by typically 5...7 KiB (might shrink a bit again on
systems with redundant environment with a following patch series)
======================================================================
Implemented:
- env command with subcommands:
- env print [arg ...]
same as "printenv": print environment
- env set [-f] name [arg ...]
same as "setenv": set (and delete) environment variables
["-f" - force setting even for read-only variables - not
implemented yet.]
- end delete [-f] name
not implemented yet
["-f" - force delete even for read-only variables]
- env save
same as "saveenv": save environment
- env export [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
export internal representation (hash table) in formats usable for
persistent storage or processing:
-t: export as text format; if size is given, data will be
padded with '\0' bytes; if not, one terminating '\0'
will be added (which is included in the "filesize"
setting so you can for exmple copy this to flash and
keep the termination).
-b: export as binary format (name=value pairs separated by
'\0', list end marked by double "\0\0")
-c: export as checksum protected environment format as
used for example by "saveenv" command
addr: memory address where environment gets stored
size: size of output buffer
With "-c" and size is NOT given, then the export command will
format the data as currently used for the persistent storage,
i. e. it will use CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE as output block size and
prepend a valid CRC32 checksum and, in case of resundant
environment, a "current" redundancy flag. If size is given, this
value will be used instead of CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE; again, CRC32
checksum and redundancy flag will be inserted.
With "-b" and "-t", always only the real data (including a
terminating '\0' byte) will be written; here the optional size
argument will be used to make sure not to overflow the user
provided buffer; the command will abort if the size is not
sufficient. Any remainign space will be '\0' padded.
On successful return, the variable "filesize" will be set.
Note that filesize includes the trailing/terminating '\0'
byte(s).
Usage szenario: create a text snapshot/backup of the current
settings:
=> env export -t 100000
=> era ${backup_addr} +${filesize}
=> cp.b 100000 ${backup_addr} ${filesize}
Re-import this snapshot, deleting all other settings:
=> env import -d -t ${backup_addr}
- env import [-d] [-t | -b | -c] addr [size]
import external format (text or binary) into hash table,
optionally deleting existing values:
-d: delete existing environment before importing;
otherwise overwrite / append to existion definitions
-t: assume text format; either "size" must be given or the
text data must be '\0' terminated
-b: assume binary format ('\0' separated, "\0\0" terminated)
-c: assume checksum protected environment format
addr: memory address to read from
size: length of input data; if missing, proper '\0'
termination is mandatory
- env default -f
reset default environment: drop all environment settings and load
default environment
- env ask name [message] [size]
same as "askenv": ask for environment variable
- env edit name
same as "editenv": edit environment variable
- env run
same as "run": run commands in an environment variable
======================================================================
TODO:
- drop default env as implemented now; provide a text file based
initialization instead (eventually using several text files to
incrementally build it from common blocks) and a tool to convert it
into a binary blob / object file.
- It would be nice if we could add wildcard support for environment
variables; this is needed for variable name auto-completion,
but it would also be nice to be able to say "printenv ip*" or
"printenv *addr*"
