* cmd_usage(): simplify return code handlingWolfgang Denk2010-07-241-19/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lots of code use this construct: cmd_usage(cmdtp); return 1; Change cmd_usage() let it return 1 - then we can replace all these ocurrances by return cmd_usage(cmdtp); This fixes a few places with incorrect return code handling, too.

* Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk2010-07-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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) { ...

* Add support to disable cpu's in multicore processorsKumar Gala2010-01-261-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a disable sub-command to the cpu command that allows for disabling cores in multicore processors. This can be useful for systems that are using multicore chips but aren't utilizing all the cores as a way to reduce power and possibly improve performance. Also updated an added missing copyright.

* 8xxx: Removed CONFIG_NUM_CPUS from 85xx/86xxPoonam Aggrwal2009-08-281-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The number of CPUs are getting detected dynamically by checking the processor SVR value. Also removed CONFIG_NUM_CPUS references from all the platforms with 85xx/86xx processors. This can help to use the same u-boot image across the platforms. Also revamped and corrected few Freescale Copyright messages. Signed-off-by: Poonam Aggrwal <poonam.aggrwal@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
* General help message cleanupWolfgang Denk2009-06-121-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: dtt Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
* Command usage cleanupPeter Tyser2009-01-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>

* 85xx: Update multicore boot mechanism to ePAPR v0.81 specKumar Gala2008-03-261-9/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | The following changes are needed to be inline with ePAPR v0.81: * r4, r5 and now always set to 0 on boot release * r7 is used to pass the size of the initial map area (IMA) * EPAPR_MAGIC value changed for book-e processors * changes in the spin table layout * spin table supports a 64-bit physical release address Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
* 85xx: Added support for multicore boot mechanismKumar Gala2008-03-261-0/+96
Added the cpu command that provides a generic mechanism to get status, reset, and release secondary cores in multicore processors. Added support for using the ePAPR defined spin-table mechanism on 85xx. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
