bloblist: Rename GD_FLG_BLOBLIST_READY to GD_FLG_BLOBLIST_HANDOFF

2026-07-17T20:50:28Z

Now that we have made bloblist have distinct "find" and "create" functions, the global data tag "GD_FLG_BLOBLIST_READY" doesn't quite make sense anymore. Rename it to GD_FLG_BLOBLIST_HANDOFF. Suggested-by: Raymond Mao Reviewed-by: Raymond Mao Signed-off-by: Tom Rini

bloblist: Rework bloblist_init and bloblist_maybe_init

2026-06-02T15:30:28Z

With bloblist, we need to both see if one already exists as well as create one if it does not. However, the current implementation leads to odd cases where we attempt to create a bloblist before this is possible and have things be overly complicated when we are given one to work with. This reworks things to instead have a bloblist_exists function, which as the name implies checks for an existing bloblist. This is used in the case of booting, to see if we have one and in turn if we have a device tree there as well as in the bloblist_init function to see if we need to do anything. In practical details, we move the logic from bloblist_init that was checking for a bloblist to the new bloblist_exists function and then can clarify the logic as it is much easier to state when we know we do not have one rather than all the ways we might have one. Then we have the locations that set gd->bloblist now also set the GD_FLG_BLOBLIST_READY flag. Reviewed-by: Raymond Mao Tested-by: Alexander Stein Signed-off-by: Tom Rini

bloblist: add API for applying blobs with specified tag

2026-04-27T15:42:36Z

Add an API to search for the blobs with specified tag and use the hook function to apply the blob data. Add a helper function to return the inline header size as according to recent spec[1] updates, the actual data can be following an inline header instead of following the TE header immediately.

bloblist: add blob type for DT overlay

Merge patch series "bloblist: refactor xferlist and bloblist"

2025-02-20T00:49:47Z

Tom Rini says: This small series separates "bloblist" and "standard passage" to allow for these similar concepts to explore solutions to problems without introduces breaking changes to the other. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250220000223.1044376-1-raymond.mao@linaro.org

bloblist: kconfig for mandatory incoming standard passage

2025-02-20T00:49:36Z

In previous commit, incoming standard passage is used by default when initializing the bloblist, so explicitly BLOBLIST_PASSAGE is no more needed. Rename it as BLOBLIST_PASSAGE_MANDATORY to determine the behaviors when an incoming transfer list does not exist or is invalid. When it is selected, incoming standard passage is mandatory and U-Boot will report an error when a valid incoming transfer list is missing. Signed-off-by: Raymond Mao

bloblist: refactor xferlist and bloblist

2025-02-20T00:49:36Z

Refactor the xferlist to remove the relocating when bloblist passed from the boot args. Refactor bloblist init to use incoming standard passage by default if a valid transfer list exists in the boot args. For bloblist relocation, use the actual total size if it has a smaller BLOBLIST_SIZE_RELOC. Signed-off-by: Raymond Mao Suggested-by: Ilias Apalodimas

Merge patch series "Enable bloblist support on Vexpress64"

2025-02-12T00:09:05Z

Harrison Mutai says: This series of patches enhances the vexpress64 platform by enabling bloblist support. It also introduces support for CONFIG_BLOBLIST_PASSAGE. This is necessary to boot vexpress64 and other boards without manually specifying a fixed address and size for the bloblist. After this change, all the bloblist init modes are supported (i.e., fixed, alloc, passage) and Vexpress64 boots with CONFIG_BLOBLIST_PASSAGE.

bloblist: add api to get blob with size

2025-01-28T06:59:21Z

bloblist_find function only returns the pointer of blob data, which is fine for those self-describing data like FDT. But as a common scenario, an interface is needed to retrieve both the pointer and the size of the blob data. Add a few ut test cases for the new api.
