4c6be01c27 malloc: Fix memalign not honoring alignment prior to full malloc init
When using memalign() in a scenario where U-Boot is configured for full
malloc support with simple malloc not explicitly enabled and before the
full malloc support is initialized, a memory block is being allocated
and returned without the alignment parameter getting honored.

Fix this issue by replacing the existing memalign pre-full malloc init
logic with a call to memalign_simple() this way ensuring proper alignment
of the returned memory block.

ee038c58d5 malloc: Use malloc simple before malloc is fully initialized in memalign()
Follow implementation in mALLOc(). Check GD_FLG_FULL_MALLOC_INIT flag and use
malloc_simple if GD_FLG_FULL_MALLOC_INIT is unset. Adjust the malloc bytes
to align with the requested alignment.

The original memalign() function will access mchunkptr struct to adjust the
alignment if there is misalignment happen, but mchunkptr struct is not being
initialized before full malloc is initialized. This cause the system crash.

f1896c45cb spl: make SPL and normal u-boot stage use independent SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
Some platforms have very limited SRAM to run SPL code, so there may
not be the same amount space for a malloc pool before relocation in
the SPL stage as the normal U-Boot stage.

Make SPL and (the full) U-Boot stage use independent SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN,
so the size of pre-relocation malloc pool can be configured memory
space independently.

034eda867f malloc: improve memalign fragmentation fix
Commit 4f144a4164 "malloc: work around some memalign fragmentation
issues" enhanced memalign() so that it can succeed in more cases where
heap fragmentation is present. However, it did not solve as many cases
as it could. This patch enhances the code to cover more cases.

The alignment code works by allocating more space than the user requests,
then adjusting the returned pointer to achieve alignment. In general, one
must allocate "alignment" bytes more than the user requested in order to
guarantee that alignment is possible. This is what the original code does.
The previous enhancement attempted a second allocation if the padded
allocation failed, and succeeded if that allocation just happened to be
aligned; a fluke that happened often in practice. There are still cases
where this could fail, yet where it is still possible to honor the user's
allocation request. In particular, if the heap contains a free region that
is large enough for the user's request, and for leading padding to ensure
alignment, but has no or little space for any trailing padding. In this
case, we can make a third(!) allocation attempt after calculating exactly
the size of the leading padding required to achieve alignment, which is
the minimal over-allocation needed for the overall memalign() operation to
succeed if the third and second allocations end up at the same location.

This patch isn't checkpatch-clean, since it conforms to the existing
coding style in dlmalloc.c, which is different to the rest of U-Boot.

ee05fedc6c malloc: solve dead code issue in memalign()
The recent change to memalign() caused the allocation failure detection
code to be dead code; the "retry" logic is always activated under the same
condition that the original failure detection code is, and also fully
handles any possible failures. This patch solves the presence of dead
code.

Two alternatives are possible:

a) Delete the now-dead test, and rely on the "retry" path to handle any
allocation problems, as it does.

b) Make the "retry" path fall through to the existing (currently dead)
failure detection code, thus making it not-dead.

(b) was chosen since it reduces the diff between U-Boot's and the upstream
dlmalloc. This should make it marginally easier to import a new version of
dlmalloc in the future.

4f144a4164 malloc: work around some memalign fragmentation issues
Use of memalign can trigger fragmentation issues such as:

// Internally, this needs to find a free block quite bit larger than s.
// Once the free region is found, any unaligned "padding" immediately
// before and after the block is marked free, so that the allocation
// takes only s bytes (plus malloc header overhead).
p = memalign(a, s);
// If there's little fragmentation so far, this allocation is likely
// located immediately after p.
p2 = malloc(x);
free(p);
// In theory, this should return the same value for p. However, the hole
// left by the free() call is only s in size (plus malloc header overhead)
// whereas memalign searches for a larger block in order to guarantee it
// can adjust the returned pointer to the alignment requirements. Hence,
// the pointer returned, if any, won't be p. If there's little or no space
// left after p2, this allocation will fail.
p = memalign(a, s);

In practice, this issue occurs when running the "dfu" command repeatedly
on NVIDIA Tegra boards, since DFU allocates a large 32M data buffer, and
then initializes the USB controller. If this is the first time USB has
been used in the U-Boot session, this causes a probe of the USB driver,
which causes various allocations, including a strdup() of a GPIO name
when requesting the VBUS GPIO. When DFU is torn down, the USB driver
is left probed, and hence its memory is left allocated. If "dfu" is
executed again, allocation of the 32M data buffer fails as described
above.

In practice, there is a memory hole exactly large enough to hold the 32M
data buffer than DFU needs. However, memalign() can't know that in a
general way. Given that, it's particularly annoying that the allocation
fails!

The issue is that memalign() tries to allocate something larger to
guarantee the ability to align the returned pointer. This patch modifies
memalign() so that if the "general case" over-sized allocation fails,
another allocation is attempted, of the exact size the user desired. If
that allocation just happens to be aligned in the way the user wants,
(and in the case described above, it will be, since the free memory
region is located where a previous identical allocation was located),
the pointer can be returned.

This patch is somewhat related to 806bd245b1 "dfu: don't keep
freeing/reallocating". That patch worked around the issue by removing
repeated free/memalign within a single execution of "dfu". However,
the same technique can't be applied across multiple invocations, since
there's no reason to keep the DFU buffer allocated while DFU isn't
running. This patch addresses the root-cause a bit more directly.

This problem highlights some of the disadvantages of dynamic allocation
and deferred probing of devices.

This patch isn't checkpatch-clean, since it conforms to the existing
coding style in dlmalloc.c, which is different to the rest of U-Boot.

0aa8a4ad99 dlmalloc: do memset in malloc init as new default config
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.

c9356be307 dm: Split the simple malloc() implementation into its own file
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.

854d2b9753 dlmalloc: ensure gd is set for early alloc

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.

d59476b644 Add a simple malloc() implementation for pre-relocation
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.

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.

6163f5b4c8 malloc: Fix issue with calloc memory possibly being non-zero
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");

2e5167ccad Replace CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS by CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC
By now, the majority of architectures have working relocation
support, so the few remaining architectures have become exceptions.
To make this more obvious, we make working relocation now the default
case, and flag the remaining cases with CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC.

1ba91ba233 dlmalloc.c: Fix gcc alias warning
Fix these warnings:
dlmalloc.c: In function 'free':
dlmalloc.c:2507: warning: dereferencing pointer '({anonymous})' does break strict-aliasing rules
dlmalloc.c:2507: warning: dereferencing pointer '({anonymous})' does break strict-aliasing rules
dlmalloc.c:2507: warning: dereferencing pointer '({anonymous})' does break strict-aliasing rules

Some page(http://blog.worldofcoding.com/2010/02/solving-gcc-44-strict-aliasing-problems.html)
suggests adding __attribute__((__may_alias__)). Doing so makes the warnings go away.

ea882baf9c New implementation for internal handling of environment variables.
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*"

- Some boards don't link any more due to the grown code size:
  DU405, canyonlands, sequoia, socrates.

- Build tested on PPC and ARM only; runtime tested with NOR and NAND
  flash only => needs testing!!

2740544881 malloc: return NULL if not initialized yet
When malloc() was called before it was properly initialized
(as would happen if when used before relocation to RAM) it returned
random, non-NULL values, which called all kinds of difficult to debug
subsequent errors.

Make sure to return NULL when initialization was not done yet.

521af04d85 Conditionally perform common relocation fixups
Add #ifdefs where necessary to not perform relocation fixups.  This
allows boards/architectures which support relocation to trim a decent
chunk of code.

Note that this patch doesn't add #ifdefs to architecture-specific code
which does not support relocation.

If common.h isn't first we can get CONFIG_ options defined in the
board config file ignored.  This can cause an issue if any of those
config options impact the size of types of data structures
(eg CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT).
