The rest of the unmigrated CONFIG symbols in the CONFIG_SYS namespace do
not easily transition to Kconfig. In many cases they likely should come
from the device tree instead. Move these out of CONFIG namespace and in

d1b4659570 test: Add a way to detect a test that breaks another
When running unit tests, some may have side effects which cause a
subsequent test to break. This can sometimes be seen when using 'ut dm'
or similar.

Add a new argument which allows a particular (failing) test to be run
immediately after a certain number of tests have run. This allows the
test causing the failure to be determined.

Update the documentation also.

cbd71fad6d test: Support tests which can only be run manually
At present we normally write tests either in Python or in C. But most
Python tests end up doing a lot of checks which would be better done in C.
Checks done in C are orders of magnitude faster and it is possible to get
full access to U-Boot's internal workings, rather than just relying on
the command line.

The model is to have a Python test set up some things and then use C code
(in a unit test) to check that they were done correctly. But we don't want
those checks to happen as part of normal test running, since each C unit
tests is dependent on the associate Python tests, so cannot run without
it.

To acheive this, add a new UT_TESTF_MANUAL flag to use with the C 'check'
tests, so that they can be skipped by default when the 'ut' command is
used. Require that tests have a name ending with '_norun', so that pytest
knows to skip them.

ae0bf2214b vbe: Add a test for VBE device tree fixups
When a FIT includes some OS requests, U-Boot should process these and add
the requested info to corresponding subnodes of the /chosen node. Add a
pytest for this, which sets up the FIT, runs bootm and then uses a C
unit test to check that everything looks OK.

The test needs to run on sandbox_flattree since we don't support
device tree fixups on sandbox (live tree) yet. So enable BOOTMETH_VBE and
disable bootflow_system(), since EFI is not supported on
sandbox_flattree.

0b58eaa89c dm: core: Allow copying ofnode property data when writing
At present ofnode_write_prop() is inconsistent between livetree and
flattree, in that livetree requires the caller to ensure the property
value is stable (e.g. in rodata or allocated) but flattree does not, since
it makes a copy.

This makes the API call a bit painful to use, since the caller must do
different things depending on OF_LIVE.

Add a new 'copy' argument which tells the function to make a copy if
needed. Add some tests to cover this behaviour.

92291652b5 dm: core: Add the ofnode multi-tree implementation
Add the logic to redirect requests for the device tree through a function
which can look up the tree ID. This works by using the top bits of
ofnode.of_offset to encode a tree.

It is assumed that there will only be a few device trees used at runtime,
typically the control FDT (always tree ID 0) and possibly a separate FDT
to be passed the OS.

The maximum number of device trees supported at runtime is 8, with this
implementation. That would use bits 30:28 of the node-offset value,
meaning that the positive offset range is limited to bits 27:0, versus
30:1 with this feature disabled. That still allows a device tree of up
to 256MB, which should be enough for most FITs. Larger ones can be
supported by using external data with the FIT, or by enabling OF_LIVE.

Update the documentation a little and fix up the comment for
ofnode_valid().

0e4b697f88 test: Make a copy of the device tree before running a test
When the flat device tree changes it can mess up the live tree since that
uses the flat tree for its strings. This affects only a few sandbox tests
which modify the device tree, but the number will grow as ofnode support
for writing improves.

While the control FDT is not intended to change while U-Boot is running,
some tests do so. For example, the ofnode interface only supports
modifying properties in the control FDT, so tests must use that.

To solve this problem, keep a copy of the FDT and restore it as needed
when the test is finished. The copy only happens on sandbox (except SPL
builds), to reduce memory usage and because these tests are not useful on
other boards. For other boards, a checksum is taken to ensure that nothing
changes.

It would be possible to always checksum the FDT on sandbox and only
restore it if needed, but this is slightly slower than restoring it every
time, at least with crc8.

Move the code which checks for success to the very end, for clarity.

7f8967c2b8 blk: Rename HAVE_BLOCK_DEVICE
This option is fact really related to SPL. For U-Boot proper we always use
driver model for block devices, so CONFIG_BLK is enabled if block devices
are in use.

It is only for SPL that we have two cases:

- SPL_BLK is enabled, in which case we use driver model and blk-uclass.c
- SPL_BLK is not enabled, in which case (if we need block devices) we must
  use blk_legacy.c

Rename the symbol to SPL_LEGACY_BLOCK to make this clear. This is
different enough from BLK and SPL_BLK that there should be no confusion.

d1962ac797 Makefile: Add a pcheck option to run tests in parallel
Running tests in parallel is much faster, e.g. 15 seconds to run the tests
on sandbox (only), instead of 100 seconds (on a 16-core machine). Add a
'make pcheck' option to access this feature.

Note that the tools/ tests still run each tool's tests once after the
other, although within that, they do run in parallel. So for example,
the buildman tests run in parallel, then the binman tests run in
parallel. There would be a signiificant advantage to running them all
in parallel together, but that would require a large amount of
refactoring, e.g. with more use of pytest fixtures.

331048471d dm: core: Introduce support for multiple trees
At present ofnode only works with a single device tree, for the most part.
This is the control FDT used by U-Boot.

When booting an OS we may obtain a different device tree and want to
modify it. Add some initial support for this into the ofnode API.

Note that we don't permit aliases in this other device tree, since the
of_access implementation maintains a list of aliases collected at
start-up. Also, we don't need aliases to do fixups in the other FDT. So

72b338aa2c dm: core: Add a note about how livetree updates work
The unflattening algorithm results in a single block of memory being
allocated for the whole tree. When writing new properties, these are
allocated new memory outside that block. When the block is freed, the
allocated properties remain.

Document how this works and the potential memory leak, as well as
mentioning that updating the livetree is actually supported now.

54e89a8beb log: force DEBUG when LOG_DEBUG is activated
When CONFIG_LOG is activated, if LOG_DEBUG is defined in a file and
DEBUG is not defined the trace with debug() macro are not displayed,
because the parameter cond : _DEBUG = 0 is checked in debug_cond().

With this patch the define DEBUG, used to force the trace generated by
debug() macro, is linked with the define LOG_DEBUG, used to force the
trace generated by other macros (log_debug, dev_dbg, pr_debug).

We only need to define LOG_DEBUG in a file to activate all the
traces generated by any U-Boot debug macro, as it is described in
/doc/develop/logging.rst

Rename the sections used to implement linker lists so they begin with
'__u_boot_list' rather than '.u_boot_list'. The double underscore at the
start is still distinct from the single underscore used by the symbol
names.

Having a '.' in the section names conflicts with clang's ASAN
instrumentation which tries to add redzones between the linker list
elements, causing expected accesses to fail. However, clang doesn't try
to add redzones to user sections, which are names with all alphanumeric
and underscore characters.

8cfac237b9 Merge branch '2022-04-25-initial-implementation-of-stdboot'
To quote the author:
The bootflow feature provide a built-in way for U-Boot to automatically
boot an Operating System without custom scripting and other customisation.
This is called 'standard boot' since it provides a standard way for
U-Boot to boot a distro, without scripting.

It introduces the following concepts:

   - bootdev - a device which can hold a distro
   - bootmeth - a method to scan a bootdev to find bootflows (owned by
                U-Boot)
   - bootflow - a description of how to boot (owned by the distro)

This series provides an implementation of these, enabled to scan for
bootflows from MMC, USB and Ethernet. It supports the existing distro
boot as well as the EFI loader flow (bootefi/bootmgr). It works
similiarly to the existing script-based approach, but is native to
U-Boot.

With this we can boot on a Raspberry Pi 3 with just one command:

   bootflow scan -lb

which means to scan, listing (-l) each bootflow and trying to boot each
one (-b). The final patch shows this.

With a standard way to identify boot devices, booting become easier. It
also should be possible to support U-Boot scripts, for backwards
compatibility only.

...

The design is described in these two documents:

The existing options, "--fit" and "--raw," are only used to put a proper
GUID in a capsule header, where GUID identifies a particular FMP (Firmware
Management Protocol) driver which then would handle the firmware binary in
a capsule. In fact, mkeficapsule does the exact same job in creating
a capsule file whatever the firmware binary type is.

To prepare for the future extension, the command syntax will be a bit
modified to allow users to specify arbitrary GUID for their own FMP driver.

The build system already automatically looks for and includes an
in-tree *-u-boot.dtsi when building the control .dtb. However, there
are some things that are awkward to maintain in such an in-tree file,
most notably the metadata associated to public keys used for verified
boot.

The only "official" API to get that metadata into the .dtb is via
mkimage, as a side effect of building an actual signed image. But
there are multiple problems with that. First of all, the final U-Boot
(be it U-Boot proper or an SPL) image is built based on a binary
image, the .dtb, and possibly some other binary artifacts. So
modifying the .dtb after the build requires the meta-buildsystem
(Yocto, buildroot, whatnot) to know about and repeat some of the steps
that are already known to and handled by U-Boot's build system,
resulting in needless duplication of code. It's also somewhat annoying
and inconsistent to have a .dtb file in the build folder which is not
generated by the command listed in the corresponding .cmd file (that
of course applies to any generated file).

So the contents of the /signature node really needs to be baked into
the .dtb file when it is first created, which means providing the
relevant data in the form of a .dtsi file. One could in theory put
that data into the *-u-boot.dtsi file, but it's more convenient to be
able to provide it externally: For example, when developing for a
customer, it's common to use a set of dummy keys for development,
while the consultants do not (and should not) have access to the
actual keys used in production. For such a setup, it's easier if the
keys used are chosen via the meta-buildsystem and the path(s) patched
in during the configure step. And of course, nothing prevents anybody
from having DEVICE_TREE_INCLUDES point at files maintained in git, or
for that matter from including the public key metadata in the
*-u-boot.dtsi directly and ignore this feature.

There are other uses for this, e.g. in combination with ENV_IMPORT_FDT
it can be used for providing the contents of the /config/environment
node, so I don't want to tie this exclusively to use for verified
boot.
