v2025.01.0

v2025.01.0

[Sascha Hauer]

Hi All,

I am happy to announce the first release for 2025, namely v2025.01.0.

This release brings LLVM/clang support for the sandbox architecture.
Other architectures might follow, but require some more work like
removing usage of naked functions on ARM.

Another nice feature is the support for running arbitrary barebox
commands in sandbox directly from the command line, so for simple tests
the sandbox barebox doesn't have to be started interactively anymore.

The TFTP support has been reworked a bit. TFTP is implemented as a
filesystem in barebox and due to that we used to open multiple
connections to the server when transferring a single file. We now cache
dentries for a while and with this now only a single connection is
needed.
The TFTP window size support has caused some problems, so the default
window size has now been set to 1, effectively disabling the feature.
You can still opt-in by setting the window size to something higher
during runtime.

Ahmad has added some hardening options like register zeroing on function
exit, initializing stack variables by default and zeroing malloc
buffers.

The AM625 support continues to evolve, this release brings us network
support, a watchdog driver and bootsource detection.

See below for a full list of patches for this release.

Have Fun!
 Sascha
