    cmd: exit: Fix return value · 8c4e3b79
    Marek Vasut authored and Tom Rini's avatar Tom Rini committed
    In case exit is called in a script without parameter, the command
    returns -2 ; in case exit is called with a numerical parameter,
    the command returns -2 and lower. This leads to the following problem:
    => setenv foo 'echo bar ; exit 1' ; run foo ; echo $?
    bar
    0
    => setenv foo 'echo bar ; exit 0' ; run foo ; echo $?
    bar
    0
    => setenv foo 'echo bar ; exit -2' ; run foo ; echo $?
    bar
    0
    That is, no matter what the 'exit' command argument is, the return
    value is always 0 and so it is not possible to use script return
    value in subsequent tests.
    
    Fix this and simplify the exit command such that if exit is called with
    no argument, the command returns 0, just like 'true' in cmd/test.c. In
    case the command is called with any argument that is positive integer,
    the argument is set as return value.
    => setenv foo 'echo bar ; exit 1' ; run foo ; echo $?
    bar
    1
    => setenv foo 'echo bar ; exit 0' ; run foo ; echo $?
    bar
    0
    => setenv foo 'echo bar ; exit -2' ; run foo ; echo $?
    bar
    0
    
    Note that this does change ABI established in 2004 , although it is
    unclear whether that ABI was originally OK or not.
