The current ELF loading function does a lot of work above and beyond a
simple "loading". It ignores the real load addresses and loads things
into their virtual (runtime) address. This is undesirable when we just
want it to load an ELF and let the ELF do the actual C runtime init.
So add a command line option to let people choose to load via either the
program or section headers. I'd prefer to have program header loading
be the default, but this would break historical behavior, so I'll leave
section header loading as the norm.

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) {
...

Loading vxWorks 5.x images resulted just into 3 or 4 lines of output.
With vxWorks 6.x and the new GCC it emits about 30 lines, which is
far too noisy in my opinion.

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

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.

Change the bootelf setup function into a dedicated weak function called
do_bootelf_exec. This way ports can control the behavior however they
like before/after calling the ELF entry point.
It isn't generally save to execute applications outside of U-Boot with caches
enabled due to the way the Blackfin processor handles caches (requires
software assistance). This patch disables caches before booting an ELF or
just booting raw code. The previous discussion on the patch was that we
wanted to use weaks instead, but that proved to not be feasible when multiple
symbols are involved, which puts us back at the ifdef solution. I've
minimized the ugliness by moving the setup step outside of the main function.

Fixed some broken instances of "#ifdef CMD_CFG_IDE" too.
Those always evaluated TRUE, and thus were always compiled
even when IDE really wasn't defined/wanted.

This is a compatibility step that allows both the older form
and the new form to co-exist for a while until the older can
be removed entirely.
All transformations are of the form:
Before:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
After:
#if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT) || defined(CONFIG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)

In the bootvx command the load address was only read from the env
variable "loadaddr" and not optionally passed as paramter as described
in the help. This is fixed with this patch. The behaviour is now the
same as in the bootelf command.

- show PCI clock frequency on MPC8260 systems
- add FCC_PSMR_RMII flag for HiP7 processors
- in do_jffs2_fsload(), take load address from load_addr if not set
explicit, update load_addr otherwise
- replaced printf by putc/puts when no formatting is needed
(smaller code size, faster execution)
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
* Patch by Erwin Rol, 27 Feb 2003:
Add support for RTEMS
* Add image information to README
* Fix dual PCMCIA slot support (when running with just one
slot populated)
* Add VFD type detection to trab board
* extend drivers/cs8900.c driver to synchronize ethaddr environment
variable with value in the EEPROM
* Start adding MIPS support files
Change behaviour of NetLoop(): return -1 for errors, filesize
otherwise; return code 0 is valid an means no file loaded - in this
case the environment still gets updated!
* Patches by Jon Diekema, 9 Nov 2002:
- improve ADC/DAC clocking on the SACSng board to align
the failing edges of LRCLK and SCLK
- sbc8260 configuration tweaks
- add status LED support for 82xx systems
- wire sspi/sspo commands into command handler; improved error
handlering
- add timestamp support and alternate memory test to the
SACSng configuration
