Add an entry which can hold an FMAP region as used by flashrom, an
open-source flashing tool used on Linux x86 machines. This provides a
simplified non-hierarchical view of the entries in the image and has a
signature at the start to allow flashrom to find it in the image.

Binman supports quite a number of different entries now. The operation of
these is not always obvious but at present the source code is the only
reference for understanding how an entry works.
Add a way to create documentation (from the source code) which can be put
in a new 'README.entries' file.

Sometimes it is useful to pass binman the value of an entry property from
the command line. For example some entries need access to files and it is
not always convenient to put these filenames in the image definition
(device tree).
Add a -a option which can be used like this:
-a<prop>=<value>
where
<prop> is the property to set
<value> is the value to set it to

At present each entry has an offset within its parent section. This is
useful for figuring out how entries relate to one another. However it
is sometimes necessary to locate an entry within an image, regardless
of which sections it is nested inside.
Add a new 'image-pos' property to provide this information. Also add
some documentation for the -u option binman provides, which updates the
device tree with final entry information.
Since the image position is a better symbol to use for the position of
U-Boot as obtained by SPL, update the SPL symbols to use this instead of
offset, which might be incorrect if hierarchical sections are used.

At present the .map file produced for each image does not include the
overall image size. This is useful information.
Update the code to generate it in the .map file as well as the updated
FDT. Also fix a few comments while we are here.

After some thought, I believe there is an unfortunate naming flaw in
binman. Entries have a position and size, but now that we support
hierarchical sections it is unclear whether a position should be an
absolute position within the image, or a relative position within its
parent section.
At present 'position' actually means the relative position. This indicates
a need for an 'image position' for code that wants to find the location of
an entry without having to do calculations back through parents to
discover this image position.
A better name for the current 'position' or 'pos' is 'offset'. It is not
always an absolute position, but it is always an offset from its parent
offset.
It is unfortunate to rename this concept now, 18 months after binman was
introduced. However I believe it is the right thing to do. The impact is
mostly limited to binman itself and a few changes to in-tree users to
binman:
tegra
sunxi
x86
The change makes old binman definitions (e.g. downstream or out-of-tree)
incompatible if they use the 'pos = <...>' property. Later work will
adjust binman to generate an error when it is used.

Once binman has packed the image, the position and size of each entry is
known. It is then possible for binman to update the device tree with these
positions. Since placeholder values have been added, this does not affect
the size of the device tree and therefore the packing does not need to be
performed again.
Add a new SetCalculatedProperties method to handle this.

Some entry types modify the device tree, e.g. to remove microcode or add a
property. So far this just modifies their local copy and does not affect
a 'shared' device tree.
Rather than doing this modification in the ObtainContents() method, and a
new ProcessFdt() method which is specifically designed to modify this
shared device tree.
Move the existing device-tree code over to use this method, reducing
ObtainContents() to the goal of just obtaining the contents without any
processing, even for device tree.

At present the contents of an entry are set in subclasses simply by
assigning to the data and content_size properties. Add some methods to do
this, so that we have more control. In particular, add a method to set the
contents without changing its size, so we can validate that case.
Add a test case for trying to change the size when this is not allowed.

Sometimes we have several sections which repeat the same entries (e.g. for
a read-only and read-write version of the same section). It is useful to
be able to tell these entries apart by name.
Add a new 'name-prefix' property for sections, which causes all entries
within that section to have a given name prefix.

At present we set the Python path at the start of binman so we can read
modules in the 'etype' directory. This is a bit messy since it affects
'import' statements through binman.
Adjust the code to set the path locally, just where it is needed. Move
the 'entry' module in with the other base modules to help with this. It
makes more sense here anyway since it does not implement an entry type.

Allow the same binary to appear multiple times in an image by using the
device-tree unit-address feature (u-boot@0, u-boot@1).
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Binman construct images consisting of multiple binary files. These files
sometimes need to know (at run timme) where their peers are located. For
example, SPL may want to know where U-Boot is located in the image, so
that it can jump to U-Boot correctly on boot.
In general the positions where the binaries end up after binman has
finished packing them cannot be known at compile time. One reason for
this is that binman does not know the size of the binaries until
everything is compiled, linked and converted to binaries with objcopy.
To make this work, we add a feature to binman which checks each binary
for symbol names starting with '_binman'. These are then decoded to figure
out which entry and property they refer to. Then binman writes the value
of this symbol into the appropriate binary. With this, the symbol will
have the correct value at run time.
Macros are used to make this easier to use. As an example, this declares
a symbol that will access the 'u-boot-spl' entry to find the 'pos' value
(i.e. the position of SPL in the image):
binman_sym_declare(unsigned long, u_boot_spl, pos);
This converts to a symbol called '_binman_u_boot_spl_prop_pos' in any
binary that includes it. Binman then updates the value in that binary,
ensuring that it can be accessed at runtime with:
ulong u_boot_pos = binman_sym(ulong, u_boot_spl, pos);
This assigns the variable u_boot_pos to the position of SPL in the image.

This adds the basic code for binman, including command parsing, processing
of entries and generation of images.
So far no entry types are supported. These will be added in future commits
as examples of how to add new types.
