2016-12-09T08:06:45+00:00

Pull the buffer content checking code into separate function and simplify the code invoking it slightly. Signed-off-by: Marek Vasut Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

common: Fix 'unchecked return code' warnings

2016-12-06T18:38:16+00:00

Several tools are simply not checking return code of functions marked with 'warn_unused_result'. Provide wrappers for the read/write functions to avoid patching old code and providing proper error handling. Fix the remaining ones (calls to fgets() and system()). Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon

common: Fix PRI{x,d}off definitions for x86_64 platform

2016-12-06T18:37:45+00:00

Compiling for x86_64 generates a lot of warning because the PRIxoff_t and PRIdoff_t are not properly defined, which comes from the missing SIZEOF_LONG definition. Use the autotools to generate a config.h header, include this header from common.h and ask autoheader to generate the SIZEOF_LONG and SIZEOF_LOFF_T definitions. Use these new definitions to assign the proper descriptors to PRIxoff_t and PRIdoff_t. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon

Move ubi-utils libraries to common library location

2016-11-17T10:36:56+00:00

Historically, the mtd-utils and ubi-utils were seperate packages. The ubi-utils were at some point merged into the mtd-utils. They first appeared in the release tar-ball in version 1.1.0 in their own sub-hirarchy with their own buildsystem, readme, documentation, etc. A lot of the duplicated stuff got centralized/removed over time. This patch further cleans up the directory hirarchy duplication by moving common libraries from the ubi-utils/ into the central lib/ and include/ directories in the top directory of the mtd-utils package. This includes: - libuib.a & libubigen.a used by the ubi utilities - libscan.a currently only used by ubiformat - libiniparser.a used by ubinize Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Merge rest of ubiutils-common into libmtd common

2016-11-17T10:36:56+00:00

This patch moves the remaining 3 functions from ubiutils-common.{c,h} into libmtd common.{c,h}. The functions are only generic utility functions that other mtd-utils programs may also find usefull and every program that uses libubi links against libmtd anyway so there is no real reason for keeping around a seperate ubiutils-common with only generic helper functions.

mtd-utils: Add multi-block erase function

Add libmissing

2016-11-17T10:36:55+00:00

This patch adds a libmissing library to mtd-utils, containing implementations of functionality found in glibc but typically missing from embedded C libraries such as uclibc ot musl. For now, the library only contains stub implementations of the backtrace*() family of functions. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

Unify version string printing

2016-11-17T10:36:55+00:00

When a program does sophisticated enough command line processing (i.e. getopt), make sure it responds to -V and --version. When a program prints a version string, make sure it uses the common_print_version macro to print out its name, that it is part of mtd-utils and the mtd-utils version from the build system in a fashion similar to common program packages like the GNU coreutils. When a program responds to -V/--version or -h/--help, make sure it reports success exit status. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

Change build system to autotools

2016-11-17T10:36:55+00:00

This patch is largely based on Richards original RFC. The major differences to the RFC patch are: - Add missing sumtools & mtdpart targets - Fix name of mkfs.jffs2 target - Add missing subdir-objects option for non-recursive make - Move all automake options to configure.ac - Add manpages to install target - Make XATTR & LZO support configurable - Install binaries to sbin directory like in the old build system - Install flash_erase wrapper script - Add files missing from distribution target Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

Remove unused and broken mtd_write_img function from libmtd

2016-11-17T10:36:55+00:00

The function _tries_ to support short reads but doesn't adjust the pointer into the buffer. If a short read happens, we scrambles the flash contents. Interrupted reads aren't handled. Short or interrupted writes aren't handled at all. Either a write succeeds writing the entire buffer or the function gives up. During an attempt at fixing it, it was discovered, that no mtd-utils program uses this function. Furthermore, its highly specific nature makes it more of a "feature looking for use case".
