When we get a problem like overlapping regions it is sometimes hard to
figure what what is going on. At present we don't write the map file in
this case. However the file does provide useful information.
Catch any packing errors and write a map file (if enabled with -m) to aid
debugging.

At present sections have no record of their parent so it is not possible
to traverse up the tree to the root and figure out the position of a
section within the image.
Change the constructor to record this information.

In some cases it is useful to add a group of files to the image and be
able to access them at run-time. Of course it is possible to generate
the binman config file with a set of blobs each with a filename. But for
convenience, add an entry type which can do this.
Add required support (for adding nodes and string properties) into the
state module.

Binman currently supports updating the main device tree with things like
the position of each entry. Extend this support to SPL and TPL as well,
since they may need (a subset of) this information.
Also adjust DTB output files to have a .out extension since this seems
clearer than having a .dtb extension with 'out' in the name somwhere.
Also add a few missing comments and update the DT setup code to use
ReadFile and WriteFile().

We always have a device tree for U-Boot proper. But we may also have one
for SPL and TPL. Add a new Entry method to find out what DTs an entry
has, and use that list when updating DTs.

At present the map only shows the offset and size for each region. The
image position provides the actual position of each entry in the image,
regardless of the section hierarchy.
Add the image position to the map.

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.

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.

It is useful to be able to see a list of regions in each image produced by
binman. Add a -m option to output this information in a '.map' file
alongside the image file.

We want to support multiple sections within a single image. To do this,
move most of the Image class implementation into a new Section class. An
Image contains only a single Section, but at some point we will support
a new 'section' entry, thus allowing Sections within Sections.
Use the name 'bsection' for the module so we can use 'section' for the
etype module.

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.

There is a little check at the top of entry.py which decides if importlib
is available. At present this has no test coverage. To add this we will
need to import the module twice, once with importlib and once without.
In preparation for allowing a test to control the importing of this
module, remove all global imports of the 'entry' module.

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.
