2017-07-27spl: make SPL and normal u-boot stage use independent SYS_MALLOC_F_LENAndy Yan
Some platforms have very limited SRAM to run SPL code, so there may not be the same amount space for a malloc pool before relocation in the SPL stage as the normal U-Boot stage. Make SPL and (the full) U-Boot stage use independent SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN, so the size of pre-relocation malloc pool can be configured memory space independently.

2016-05-23malloc: improve memalign fragmentation fixStephen Warren
Commit 4f144a416469 "malloc: work around some memalign fragmentation issues" enhanced memalign() so that it can succeed in more cases where heap fragmentation is present. However, it did not solve as many cases as it could. This patch enhances the code to cover more cases. The alignment code works by allocating more space than the user requests, then adjusting the returned pointer to achieve alignment. In general, one must allocate "alignment" bytes more than the user requested in order to guarantee that alignment is possible. This is what the original code does. The previous enhancement attempted a second allocation if the padded allocation failed, and succeeded if that allocation just happened to be aligned; a fluke that happened often in practice. There are still cases where this could fail, yet where it is still possible to honor the user's allocation request. In particular, if the heap contains a free region that is large enough for the user's request, and for leading padding to ensure alignment, but has no or little space for any trailing padding. In this case, we can make a third(!) allocation attempt after calculating exactly the size of the leading padding required to achieve alignment, which is the minimal over-allocation needed for the overall memalign() operation to succeed if the third and second allocations end up at the same location. This patch isn't checkpatch-clean, since it conforms to the existing coding style in dlmalloc.c, which is different to the rest of U-Boot.

2016-02-08malloc: solve dead code issue in memalign()Stephen Warren
The recent change to memalign() caused the allocation failure detection code to be dead code; the "retry" logic is always activated under the same condition that the original failure detection code is, and also fully handles any possible failures. This patch solves the presence of dead code. Two alternatives are possible: a) Delete the now-dead test, and rely on the "retry" path to handle any allocation problems, as it does. b) Make the "retry" path fall through to the existing (currently dead) failure detection code, thus making it not-dead. (b) was chosen since it reduces the diff between U-Boot's and the upstream dlmalloc. This should make it marginally easier to import a new version of dlmalloc in the future.

2016-02-01malloc: work around some memalign fragmentation issuesStephen Warren
Use of memalign can trigger fragmentation issues such as: // Internally, this needs to find a free block quite bit larger than s. // Once the free region is found, any unaligned "padding" immediately // before and after the block is marked free, so that the allocation // takes only s bytes (plus malloc header overhead). p = memalign(a, s); // If there's little fragmentation so far, this allocation is likely // located immediately after p. p2 = malloc(x); free(p); // In theory, this should return the same value for p. However, the hole // left by the free() call is only s in size (plus malloc header overhead) // whereas memalign searches for a larger block in order to guarantee it // can adjust the returned pointer to the alignment requirements. Hence, // the pointer returned, if any, won't be p. If there's little or no space // left after p2, this allocation will fail. p = memalign(a, s); In practice, this issue occurs when running the "dfu" command repeatedly on NVIDIA Tegra boards, since DFU allocates a large 32M data buffer, and then initializes the USB controller. If this is the first time USB has been used in the U-Boot session, this causes a probe of the USB driver, which causes various allocations, including a strdup() of a GPIO name when requesting the VBUS GPIO. When DFU is torn down, the USB driver is left probed, and hence its memory is left allocated. If "dfu" is executed again, allocation of the 32M data buffer fails as described above. In practice, there is a memory hole exactly large enough to hold the 32M data buffer than DFU needs. However, memalign() can't know that in a general way. Given that, it's particularly annoying that the allocation fails! The issue is that memalign() tries to allocate something larger to guarantee the ability to align the returned pointer. This patch modifies memalign() so that if the "general case" over-sized allocation fails, another allocation is attempted, of the exact size the user desired. If that allocation just happens to be aligned in the way the user wants, (and in the case described above, it will be, since the free memory region is located where a previous identical allocation was located), the pointer can be returned. This patch is somewhat related to 806bd245b1ab "dfu: don't keep freeing/reallocating". That patch worked around the issue by removing repeated free/memalign within a single execution of "dfu". However, the same technique can't be applied across multiple invocations, since there's no reason to keep the DFU buffer allocated while DFU isn't running. This patch addresses the root-cause a bit more directly. This problem highlights some of the disadvantages of dynamic allocation and deferred probing of devices. This patch isn't checkpatch-clean, since it conforms to the existing coding style in dlmalloc.c, which is different to the rest of U-Boot.

2015-03-09dlmalloc: do memset in malloc init as new default configPrzemyslaw Marczak
This commit introduces new config: CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_CLEAR_ON_INIT. This config is an expert option and is enabled by default. The all amount of memory reserved for the malloc, is by default set to zero in mem_malloc_init(). When the malloc reserved memory exceeds few MiB, then the boot process can slow down. So disabling this config, is an expert option to reduce the boot time, and can be disabled by Kconfig. Note: After disable this option, only calloc() will return the pointer to the zeroed memory area. Previously, without this option, the memory pointed to untouched malloc memory region, was filled with zeros. So it means, that code with malloc() calls should be reexamined.

2014-11-21dm: Split the simple malloc() implementation into its own fileSimon Glass
The simple malloc() implementation is used when memory is tight. It provides a simple buffer with an incrementing pointer. At present the implementation is inside dlmalloc. Move it into its own file so that it is easier to find. Rather than using relocation as a signal that the full malloc() is available, add a special GD_FLG_FULL_MALLOC_INIT flag. This signals that the simple malloc() should no longer be used. In some cases, such as SPL, even the code space used by the full malloc() is wasteful. Add a CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE option to provide only the simple malloc. In this case the full malloc is not available at all. It saves about 1KB of code space and about 0.5KB of data on Thumb 2.

2014-07-23Add a simple malloc() implementation for pre-relocationSimon Glass
If we are to have driver model before relocation we need to support some way of calling memory allocation routines. The standard malloc() is pretty complicated: 1. It uses some BSS memory for its state, and BSS is not available before relocation 2. It supports algorithms for reducing memory fragmentation and improving performace of free(). Before relocation we could happily just not support free(). 3. It includes about 4KB of code (Thumb 2) and 1KB of data. However since this has been loaded anyway this is not really a problem. The simplest way to support pre-relocation malloc() is to reserve an area of memory and allocate it in increasing blocks as needed. This implementation does this. To enable it, you need to define the size of the malloc() pool as described in the README. It will be located above the pre-relocation stack on supported architectures. Note that this implementation is only useful on machines which have some memory available before dram_init() is called - this includes those that do no DRAM init (like tegra) and those that do it in SPL (quite a few boards). Enabling driver model preior to relocation for the rest of the boards is left for a later exercise. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2010-11-17malloc: Fix issue with calloc memory possibly being non-zeroKumar Gala
Since we set #define MORECORE_CLEARS 1, the code assumes 'sbrk' always returns zero'd out memory. However since its possible that free() returns memory back to sbrk() via malloc_trim we could possible get non-zero'd memory from sbrk(). This is a problem for when code might call calloc() and expect the memory to have been zero'd out. There are two possible solutions to this problem. 1. change #define MORECORE_CLEARS 0 2. memset to zero memory returned to sbrk. We go with the second since the sbrk being called to free up memory should be pretty rare. The following code problems an example test to show the issue. This test code was inserted right after the call to mem_malloc_init(). ... u8 *p2; int i; printf("MALLOC TEST\n"); p1 = malloc(135176); printf("P1 = %p\n", p1); memset(p1, 0xab, 135176); free(p1); p2 = calloc(4097, 1); printf("P2 = %p %p\n", p2, p2 + 4097); for (i = 0; i < 4097; i++) { if (p2[i] != 0) printf("miscompare at byte %d got %x\n", i, p2[i]); free(p2); printf("END MALLOC TEST\n\n"); ...

2010-09-19New implementation for internal handling of environment variables.Wolfgang Denk
Motivation: * Old environment code used a pessimizing implementation: - variable lookup used linear search => slow - changed/added variables were added at the end, i. e. most frequently used variables had the slowest access times => slow - each setenv() would calculate the CRC32 checksum over the whole environment block => slow * "redundant" envrionment was locked down to two copies * No easy way to implement features like "reset to factory defaults", or to select one out of several pre-defined (previously saved) sets of environment settings ("profiles") * No easy way to import or export environment settings ====================================================================== API Changes: - Variable names starting with '#' are no longer allowed I didn't find any such variable names being used; it is highly recommended to follow standard conventions and start variable names with an alphanumeric character - "printenv" will now print a backslash at the end of all but the last lines of a multi-line variable value. Multi-line variables have never been formally defined, allthough there is no reason not to use them. Now we define rules how to deal with them, allowing for import and export. - Function forceenv() and the related code in saveenv() was removed. At the moment this is causing build problems for the only user of this code (schmoogie - which has no entry in MAINTAINERS); may be fixed later by implementing the "env set -f" feature. Inconsistencies: - "printenv" will '\\'-escape the '\n' in multi-line variables, while "printenv var" will not do that. ====================================================================== Advantages: - "printenv" output much better readable (sorted) - faster! - extendable (additional variable properties can be added) - new, powerful features like "factory reset" or easy switching between several different environment settings ("profiles") Disadvantages: - Image size grows by typically 5...7 KiB (might shrink a bit again on systems with redundant environment with a following patch series) ====================================================================== Implemented: - env command with subcommands: - env print [arg ...] same as "printenv": print environment - env set [-f] name [arg ...] same as "setenv": set (and delete) environment variables ["-f" - force setting even for read-only variables - not implemented yet.] - end delete [-f] name not implemented yet ["-f" - force delete even for read-only variables] - env save same as "saveenv": save environment - env export [-t | -b | -c] addr [size] export internal representation (hash table) in formats usable for persistent storage or processing: -t: export as text format; if size is given, data will be padded with '\0' bytes; if not, one terminating '\0' will be added (which is included in the "filesize" setting so you can for exmple copy this to flash and keep the termination). -b: export as binary format (name=value pairs separated by '\0', list end marked by double "\0\0") -c: export as checksum protected environment format as used for example by "saveenv" command addr: memory address where environment gets stored size: size of output buffer With "-c" and size is NOT given, then the export command will format the data as currently used for the persistent storage, i. e. it will use CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE as output block size and prepend a valid CRC32 checksum and, in case of resundant environment, a "current" redundancy flag. If size is given, this value will be used instead of CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE; again, CRC32 checksum and redundancy flag will be inserted. With "-b" and "-t", always only the real data (including a terminating '\0' byte) will be written; here the optional size argument will be used to make sure not to overflow the user provided buffer; the command will abort if the size is not sufficient. Any remainign space will be '\0' padded. On successful return, the variable "filesize" will be set. Note that filesize includes the trailing/terminating '\0' byte(s). Usage szenario: create a text snapshot/backup of the current settings: => env export -t 100000 => era ${backup_addr} +${filesize} => cp.b 100000 ${backup_addr} ${filesize} Re-import this snapshot, deleting all other settings: => env import -d -t ${backup_addr} - env import [-d] [-t | -b | -c] addr [size] import external format (text or binary) into hash table, optionally deleting existing values: -d: delete existing environment before importing; otherwise overwrite / append to existion definitions -t: assume text format; either "size" must be given or the text data must be '\0' terminated -b: assume binary format ('\0' separated, "\0\0" terminated) -c: assume checksum protected environment format addr: memory address to read from size: length of input data; if missing, proper '\0' termination is mandatory - env default -f reset default environment: drop all environment settings and load default environment - env ask name [message] [size] same as "askenv": ask for environment variable - env edit name same as "editenv": edit environment variable - env run same as "run": run commands in an environment variable ====================================================================== TODO: - drop default env as implemented now; provide a text file based initialization instead (eventually using several text files to incrementally build it from common blocks) and a tool to convert it into a binary blob / object file. - It would be nice if we could add wildcard support for environment variables; this is needed for variable name auto-completion, but it would also be nice to be able to say "printenv ip*" or "printenv *addr*" - Some boards don't link any more due to the grown code size: DU405, canyonlands, sequoia, socrates. => cc: Matthias Fuchs <matthias.fuchs@esd-electronics.com>, Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>, Heiko Schocher <hs@denx.de> - Dropping forceenv() causes build problems on schmoogie => cc: Sergey Kubushyn <ksi@koi8.net> - Build tested on PPC and ARM only; runtime tested with NOR and NAND flash only => needs testing!!

2010-01-15malloc: return NULL if not initialized yetWolfgang Denk
When malloc() was called before it was properly initialized (as would happen if when used before relocation to RAM) it returned random, non-NULL values, which called all kinds of difficult to debug subsequent errors. Make sure to return NULL when initialization was not done yet. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>

2009-10-03Conditionally perform common relocation fixupsPeter Tyser
Add #ifdefs where necessary to not perform relocation fixups. This allows boards/architectures which support relocation to trim a decent chunk of code. Note that this patch doesn't add #ifdefs to architecture-specific code which does not support relocation. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>

2008-06-03Make sure common.h is the first include.Kumar Gala
If common.h isn't first we can get CONFIG_ options defined in the board config file ignored. This can cause an issue if any of those config options impact the size of types of data structures (eg CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT). Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2006-03-31GCC-4.x fixes: clean up global data pointer initialization for all boards.Wolfgang Denk
2003-06-27* Code cleanup:wdenk
- 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)
