binman: Fix replace subcommand help and comments

Fix some copy&paste artifacts. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka

binman: Support updating the dtb in an ELF file

2021-11-13T15:16:39Z

WIth EFI we must embed the devicetree in an ELF image so that it is loaded as part of the executable file. We want it to include the binman definition in there also, which in some cases cannot be created until the ELF (u-boot) is built. Add an option to binman to support writing the updated dtb to the ELF file u-boot.out This is useful with the EFI app, which is always packaged as an ELF file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

tools: Refactor full help printing

2021-09-24T18:30:46Z

Collect the code for printing the full help message of patman, buildman and binman into a single function in patman.tools. Signed-off-by: Paul Barker

binman: Add basic support for debugging performance

2021-07-21T16:27:35Z

One of binman's attributes is that it is extremely fast, at least for a Python program. Add some simple timing around operations that might take a while, such as reading an image and compressing it. This should help to maintain the performance as new features are added. This is for debugging purposes only. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Support multithreading for building images

2021-07-21T16:27:35Z

Some images may take a while to build, e.g. if they are large and use slow compression. Support compiling sections in parallel to speed things up. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass (fixed to use a separate test file to fix flakiness)

binman: doc: Add documentation to htmldocs

2021-03-26T04:03:10Z

Add a link to binman's documentation and adjust the files so that it is accessible. Use the name README.rst so it is easy to discover when binman is installed without U-Boot. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Plumb expanded entries through fully

2021-03-26T04:03:09Z

Add support for this feature in the control, image and section modules, so that expanded entries will be selected by default. So far there are no expanded entry types, so this is a nop. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Allow extracting to current directory

2021-03-26T04:03:09Z

Extracting files to the current directory is not normally a very friendly thing to do, but it can be warranted, e.g. in a new temporary dir. At present binman reports an error when such an attempt is made. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Show the size when writing entries

2021-01-30T21:25:41Z

Update the log output to show the size, since this is useful information. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Drop CheckEntries()

2020-10-29T20:42:59Z

This method introduces a separation between packing and checking that is different for sections. In order to handle compression properly, we need to be able to deal with a section's size being smaller than the uncompressed size of its contents. It is easier to make this work if everything happens in the Pack() method. The only real user of CheckEntries() is entry_Section and it can call it directly. Drop the call from 'control' and handle it locally. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
