[PATCH v3 6/9] sandbox: Add os_realloc()

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Thu Feb 4 18:55:48 CET 2021


We provide os_malloc() and os_free() but not os_realloc(). Add this,
following the usual semantics. Also update os_malloc() to behave correctly
when passed a zero size.

Changes in v3:
- Add comments as to why we have os_malloc() and os_realloc()

Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to add os_realloc()
