2013-01-10arm: Add CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT to delay environment loadingSimon Glass
This option delays loading of the environment until later, so that only the default environment will be available to U-Boot. This can address the security risk of untrusted data being used during boot. Any time you load untrusted data you expose yourself to a bug in the code. The attacker gets to choose the data so can sometimes carefully craft it to exploit a bug. We try to avoid touching user-controlled data during a verified boot unless strictly necessary. Since the default environment is good enough in this case (or you would just change it), this gets around the problem by just not loading the environment. When CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT is defined, it is convenient to have a run-time way of enabling loading of the environment. Add this to the fdt as /config/delay-environment.

2012-12-19powerpc/mpc83xx: add support for new SPLScott Wood
This adds arch support for PPC mpc83xx to boot "minimal" (4K) SPLs using the new infrastructure. Existing nand_spl targets are updated to deal with the name change from nand_init.c to spl_minimal.c (as in theory this isn't limited to NAND anymore).

2012-12-19spl: Change PAD_TO to CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TOScott Wood
This was already used by some SPL targets, and allows the pad amount to be specified by board config headers rather than only in makefile fragments. Also supply a pad-to of zero if the variable is undefined. It works without this, but this avoids relying on undocumented behavior.

2012-12-19spi: Add SPI flash testSimon Glass
It is useful to have a basic SPI flash test, which tests that the SPI chip, the SPI bus and the driver are behaving. This test erases part of the flash, writes data and reads it back as a sanity check that all is well. Use CONFIG_SF_TEST to enable it. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2012-12-11Add hash command to perform hashing using various algorithmsSimon Glass
This new command supports hashing SHA1 and SHA256. It could be extended to others such as MD5 and the CRC algorithms. The syntax is modeled on those: hash <algorithm> <address> <length> [*<dest_addr> | <dest_envvar>] to calculate a hash, and: hash -v <algorithm> <address> <length> [*<verify_addr> | <verify_envvar>] to verify a hash. Use CONFIG_CMD_HASH to enable the command, CONFIG_SHA1 to enable SHA1 and CONFIG_SHA256 to enable SHA256. The existing sha1sum command remains. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

When the cursor position gets to the end of the LCD console we normally scroll by one line. This adds an option to increase that value. Console scrolling is often slow, and if a large amount of output is being sent, increasing this option to 10 or so will speed things up considerably.

2012-11-12fdt: Add option to default to most compatible conf in a fit imageGabe Black
When booting a fit image with multiple configurations, the user either has to specify which configuration to use explicitly, or there has to be a default defined which is chosen automatically. This change adds an option to change that behavior so that a configuration can be selected explicitly, or the configuration which has the device tree that claims to be compatible with the earliest item in U-Boot's device tree. In other words, if U-Boot claimed to be compatible with A, B, and then C, and the configurations claimed to be compatible with A, D and B, D and D, E, the first configuration, A, D, would be chosen. Both the first and second configurations match, but the first one matches a more specific entry in U-Boot's device tree. The order in the kernel's device tree is ignored.

2012-10-29fs: separate CONFIG_FS_{FAT, EXT4} from CONFIG_CMD_{FAT, EXT*}Stephen Warren
This makes the FAT and ext4 filesystem implementations build if CONFIG_FS_{FAT,EXT4} are defined, rather than basing the build on whether CONFIG_CMD_{FAT,EXT*} are defined. This will allow the filesystems to be built separately from the filesystem-specific commands that use them. This paves the way for the creation of filesystem-generic commands that used the filesystems, without requiring the filesystem- specific commands. Minor documentation changes are made for this change. The new config options are automatically selected by the old config options to retain backwards-compatibility.

2012-10-22fs: Add a Coreboot Filesystem (CBFS) driver and commandsGabe Black
This change adds CBFS support and some commands to use it to u-boot. These commands are: cbfsinit - Initialize CBFS support and pull all metadata into RAM. The end of the ROM is an optional parameter which defaults to the standard 0xffffffff and can be used to support multiple CBFSes in a system. The last one set up with cbfsinit is the one that will be used. cbfsinfo - Print information from the CBFS header. cbfsls - Print out the size, type, and name of all the files in the current CBFS. Recognized types are translated into symbolic names. cbfsload - Load a file from CBFS into memory. Like the similar command for fat filesystems, you can optionally provide a maximum size. Support for CBFS is compiled in when the CONFIG_CMD_CBFS option is specified. The CBFS driver can also be used programmatically from within u-boot. If u-boot needs something out of CBFS very early before the heap is configured, it won't be able to use the normal CBFS support which caches some information in memory it allocates from the heap. The cbfs_file_find_uncached function searches a CBFS instance without touching the heap.
