11cdd0c0c2 Initial storage functionality for U-Boot support library.
- Only non-sliced bsdlabel style partitioning is currently supported (but provisions
  are made towards GPT support, which should follow soon)
- Enable storage support in loader on ARM

0ed948780c Initial support of loader(8) for ARM machines running U-Boot.
This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).

Only netbooting is supported at the moment.

0258b0bc1b Minor style(9) fixes for U-Boot API glue. 2008-10-04 13:19:15 +00:00

4c0a9db94a U-Boot API glue improvements:
- extend ub_dev_read() and ub_dev_recv() so that the actual len and
  all error codes can be passed and processed properly; unify behaviour of
  these routines

- introduce syscall general error code (API_ESYSC)

cf725aeb0b Improve loader support for U-Boot.
- add new diag commands: devinfo, sysinfo for U-Boot-style details about the system
  configuration
- better memory info summary
- style corrections

51e8f5a470 Make metadata.c shared across all platforms using U-Boot.
This will [soon] be needed for ARM.

042df2e2da Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for userland:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
  turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus.  You
  can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
  It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
  by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
  (sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
  libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
  breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.

Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

7572ed5a08 Eliminate artificial increasing of 'netdev_opens' counter in loader's net_open().
This was introduced as a workaround long time ago for some Alpha firmware
(which is now gone), and actually prevented net_close() to ever be
called.

Certain firmwares (U-Boot) need local shutdown operations to be performed on a
network controller upon transaction end: such platform-specific hooks are
supposed to be called via netif_close() (from within net_close()).

This change effectively reverts the following CVS commit:

    sys/boot/common/dev_net.c

    revision 1.7
    date: 2000/05/13 15:40:46;  author: dfr;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1
    Only probe network settings on the first open of the network device.
    The alpha firmware takes a seriously long time to open the network device
    the first time.

Also suppress excessive output while netbooting via loader, unless debugging.

While there, make sys/boot/uboot more style(9) compliant.

9dbb1b6e7d o Build libuboot with -msoft-float like everything else.
o  Move the API prototypes to a separate header (glue.h)
o  Allow the platform to hint libuboot about where to look
   for the API signature. The uboot_address variable is
   expected to be defined by the platform.

63094c199a MFp4 (e500):
Add support for U-Boot. This uses the U-Boot API as developed by
Rafal and which is (will be) part of U-Boot 1.3.2 and later.
