dlmalloc: ensure gd is set for early alloc
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. $ gdb -q --args ./u-boot (gdb) r Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000412b9b in malloc (bytes=bytes@entry=37) at common/dlmalloc.c:2184 2184 if (!(gd->flags & GD_FLG_RELOC)) { (gdb) p gd $1 = (gd_t *) 0x0 (gdb) bt #0 0x0000000000412b9b in malloc (bytes=bytes@entry=37) at common/dlmalloc.c:2184 #1 0x00007ffff75bf8e1 in set_binding_values (domainname=0x7ffff11f4f12 "libgpg-error", dirnamep=0x7fffffffe168, codesetp=0x0) at bindtextdom.c:228 #2 0x00007ffff75bfb4c in set_binding_values (codesetp=0x0, dirnamep=0x7fffffffe168, domainname=<optimized out>) at bindtextdom.c:350 #3 __bindtextdomain (domainname=<optimized out>, dirname=0x7ffff11f4f00 "/usr/share/locale") at bindtextdom.c:348 #4 0x00007ffff11eca17 in ??
