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.

Add support for sysfs mocking

In order to use test files, allow sysfs root to be set during compile time Signed-off-by: Daniel Walter

Fix uninitialized buffers

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

Uninitialized buffers lead to failing unittests, since padding was not set to 0. Additionally this stops valgrind from complaining as well. Signed-off-by: Daniel Walter

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

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".

Eliminate warnings about implicit non-const casting in libmtd

2016-11-17T10:16:21+00:00

The mtd_get_dev_info1 function reads (among other things) name and type string into coresponding struct mtd_dev_info fields. The struct mtd_dev_info has the string fields marked const, requiring them to be cast to non-const version during initialization. This cast was previously omitted from the dev_read_data calls, triggering warnings during compilation. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger
