binman: Support a list of strings with the mkimage etype

2022-02-22T17:05:44+00:00

At present the 'args' property of the mkimage entry type is a string. This
makes it difficult to include CONFIG options in that property. In
particular, this does not work:

   args = "-n CONFIG_SYS_SOC -E"

since the preprocessor does not operate within strings, nor does this:

   args = "-n" CONFIG_SYS_SOC" "-E"

since the device tree compiler does not understand string concatenation.

With this new feature, we can do:

   args = "-n", CONFIG_SYS_SOC, "-E";

elf: Add a way to read segment information from an ELF file

2022-02-22T17:05:44+00:00

Add a function which reads the segments and the entry address.

Also fix a comment nit in the tests while we are here.

binman: Tweak elf tests for a toolchain change

2022-01-25T19:36:10+00:00

Some newer toolchains do not create a symbol for the .ucode section that
this test relies on. Update the test to use the symbol that is explicitly
created, instead.

binman: Support reading the offset of an ELF-file symbol

2021-11-13T15:16:39+00:00

Binman needs to be able to update the contents of an ELF file after it has
been build. To support this, add a function to locate the position of a
symbol's contents within the file.

Fix the comments on bss_data.c and Symbol while we are here.

binman: Report an error if test files fail to compile

2021-11-13T15:16:39+00:00

At present any error from the 'make' command is silently swallowed by the
test system. Fix this by showing it when detected.

binman: Support finding symbols in sub-sections

2021-01-30T21:25:41+00:00

At present binman only supports resolving symbols in the same section as
the binary that uses it. This is quite limited because we often need to
group entries into different sections.

Enhance the algorithm to search the entire image for symbols.

binman: Use target-specific tools when cross-compiling

2020-09-22T18:54:13+00:00

Currently, binman always runs the compile tools like cc, objcopy, strip,
etc. using their literal name. Instead, this patch makes it use the
target-specific versions by default, derived from the tool-specific
environment variables (CC, OBJCOPY, STRIP, etc.) or from the
CROSS_COMPILE environment variable.

For example, the u-boot-elf etype directly uses 'strip'. Trying to run
the tests with 'CROSS_COMPILE=i686-linux-gnu- binman test' on an arm64
host results in the '097_elf_strip.dts' test to fail as the arm64
version of 'strip' can't understand the format of the x86 ELF file.

This also adjusts some command.Output() calls that caused test errors or
failures to use the target versions of the tools they call. After this,
patch, an arm64 host can run all tests with no errors or failures using
a correct CROSS_COMPILE value.
