2023-08-24Fix printf format specifiers for 64 bit integer typesDavid Oberhollenzer
In nandflipbits, nandtest and ubiscan, uint64_t integers are printed to stdout using "%llu" as a format specifier, but on platforms like x86_64, uint64_t is actually typedef'd as `unsigned long` only. For compatibillity across platforms, simply use the C99 printfs macros instead. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2023-08-23mtd-utils: nandtest: handle large nand devicesChristian Wendt he/him
Running nandtest on devices with sizes of 4Gb or more does not work, as the size returned in mtd_info_user is reported as 0 for 4Gb devices for example. The patch uses sysfs to figure out the size of the nand device (as recommended in a comment in include/mtd/mtd-abi.h) and changes sizes and offsets to 64 bit values.

2022-06-27nandflipbits: fix corrupted oobChristophe Kerello
If a bit is flipped in block 1 or higher, the OOB is corrupted with the OOB of block 0. Mtd_read_oob API has to take into account the block number to be able to calculate the right offset.

2022-06-08mtd-utils: nanddump: fix writing big images on 32bit machinesSascha Hauer
When writing a full 4GiB NAND to a file end_addr becomes 0x100000000. With that writing out the first page to the file doesn't happen because size_left is calculated to 0x100000000 - 0 = 0x100000000 which is then truncated to 32bit and becomes zero. Fix this by using an appropriate 64bit type for size_left. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2021-01-20Cleanup: Automake: remove single use variablesDavid Oberhollenzer
Throughout the Automake files, there is a consistent pattern somewhat like this: FOO_BINS = .... sbin_PROGRAMS += $(FOO_BINS) This commit all such patterns whenever the variable is not used anywhere else and appends to the target directly.

2021-01-20Remove headers from EXTRA_DISTDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit removes the C header files from the EXTRA_DIST variables and instead assigns them to the SOURCE variable of the respective components they belong to.

2020-10-18mtd-utils: Add nandflipbits toolBoris Brezillon
The nandflipbits tool is intended to be used when one need to flip one or several specific bits on a NAND media. It can be useful to manually recover from an unexpected bit flip on a flash device, though the main purpose of this tool is to provide a way to test ECC algorithms robustness. One typical example I used this tool for is testing HW ECC engines behavior when bitflips occur in an erased page: most HW engines do not correctly handle this case, because, most of the time, ECC bits generated for an empty page are not all 1s, and, empty page detection embedded in such engines is only validating that all bits are set to 1s (which is not true when a bit-flip has occurred). Another use of this tool is replacing nandbiterrs test which absolutely do not work with MLC-like chips because of the rewriting of the pages in raw mode to toggle ones into zeroes.

2020-02-09mtd-utils: Fix wrong argument to sizeof in nanddumpDavid Oberhollenzer
Some temporary buffers are allocated with "sizeof(pointer) * count" as size argument, which cannot possibly be correct. Assuming what was meant was "sizeof(pointer[0]) * count" makes sense in the context of how the buffers are used, but is actually pretty pointless, since the buffers are unsigend char. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-02-09mtd-utils: Fix potential negative arguments passed to close(2)David Oberhollenzer
Many tools open a file descriptor, close it a the end and have some form of error path in between that jumps to the end. In some cases, if opening the file fails the error path is taken and the utility ends up closing one or more invalid file descriptors. It's technically not a real issue but something that pretty much any static analysis tool barks at. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2019-11-10nanddump: don't leak copied command line argumentsDavid Oberhollenzer
For some command line flags, the argument string is copied. Simply writing over the buffer leads to a resource leak if the same flag is specified on the command line more than once. This patch adds a free() call to the old buffer before overwriting it with the new copy. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2017-11-02Mark or fix switch cases that fall throughDavid Oberhollenzer
Now that C++17 introduced a special fallthrough keyword for explicitly tagging switch cases that are supposed to fall through, newer gcc versions also implement a feature request from 2002 to warn about maybe unwanted fall-throughs in switch cases in other languages (like C). For C code, we can either add a gcc specific attribute at the end of the switch case, or use a special comment that gcc checks for, indicating that the fall-through behaviour is indeed intended. This patch adds a "/* fall-through */" comment at the end of various case blocks to silence gcc warnings and in some cases a break, where fall-through was probably not intended. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2017-11-02Add no-return attribute to usage() style functionsDavid Oberhollenzer
A common pattern in command line processing is having a usage() function that prints out how to use the command line options and then terminates. The function is typically used inside a switch block for command line options like `-h' or unknown options. In a lot of places, the break keyword is omitted, because the function exits anyway. However, this triggers gcc warnings about implicit fall-through. Rather than adding a phony "/* fall-through */" this patch flags the usage() style function with a gcc attribute, indicating that they do not return and removes further superfluous break statements.

2016-11-17Unify version string printingDavid Oberhollenzer
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.

Errors may happen, it's e.g. easy on embedded devices to run out of space when dumping big partitions. This patch adds a helper function for writing. It deals with partial writes and just returns 0 on success or error number. The old code didn't check for errors at all which could result in incomplete dumps without exiting with an error.
