When binman is installed its main program is in a different directory
to its modules. This means that __file__ is different and we cannot use
it to obtain the path to etype/ from main.py
To fix this, move the function to the 'control' module, since it is
installed with all the other modules, including the etype/ directory.

Sometimes it is useful to build an image even though external binaries are
not present. This allows the build system to continue to function without
these files, albeit not producing valid images.
U-Boot does with with ATF (ARM Trusted Firmware) today.

At present the symbol information is written to binaries just before
binman exits. This is fine for entries within sections since the section
contents is calculated when it is needed, so the updated symbol values are
included in the image that is written.
However some binaries are inside entries which have already generated
their contents and do not notice that the entries have changed (e.g. Intel
IFWI).
Move the symbol writing earlier to cope with this.

This code has three distinct phases:

2. The entry is written to the image

At present binman cannot replace data within a CBFS since it does not
allow rewriting of the files in that CBFS. Implement this by using the
new WriteData() method to handle the case.
Add a header to compressed data so that the amount of compressed data can
be determined without reference to the size of the containing entry. This
allows the entry to be larger that the contents, without causing errors in
decompression. This is necessary to cope with a compressed device tree
being updated in such a way that it shrinks after the entry size is
already set (an obscure case). It is not used with CBFS since it has its
own metadata for this. Increase the number of passes allowed to resolve
the position of entries, to handle this case.
Add a test for this new logic.

Sometimes an entry may shrink after it has already been packed. In that
case we must repack the items. Of course it is always possible to just
leave the entry at its original size and waste space at the end. This is
what binman does by default, since there is the possibility of the entry
changing size every time binman calculates its contents, thus causing a
loop.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
So far we don't allow entries to change size when repacking. But this is
not very useful since it is common for entries to change size after an
updated binary is built, etc.
Add support for this, respecting the original offset/size/alignment
constraints of the image layout. For this to work the original image
must have been created with the 'allow-repack' property.
This does not support entry types with sub-entries such as files and
CBFS, but it does support sections.

While it is useful and efficient to build images in a single pass from a

We use a fake device tree in tests most of the time since tests don't
normally care about the actual data. For example, for U-Boot proper we use
U_BOOT_DTB_DATA which is just a four-character string. This makes testing
the image output against an expected value very easy.
However in some cases, such as when the test wants to check that the DT
output containing particular nodes, we do actually need the real DT. Add
support for this, along with a command-line option to select 'test mode'.
