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: Add support for RISC-V OpenSBI fw_dynamic blob

2021-05-19T09:01:49Z

Add an entry for RISC-V OpenSBI's 'fw_dynamic' firmware payload. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng Reviewed-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Rick Chen Reviewed-by: Rick Chen

binman: test: Rename 172_fit_fdt.dts to 170_fit_fdt.dts

2021-05-19T09:01:49Z

Currently there are 2 binman test cases using the same 172 number. It seems that 172_fit_fdt.dts was originally named as 170_, but commit c0f1ebe9c1b9 ("binman: Allow selecting default FIT configuration") changed its name to 172_ for no reason. Let's change it back.

binman: Support adding sections to FMAPs

2021-04-29T10:23:39Z

When used with hierarchical images, use the Chromium OS convention of adding a section before all the subentries it contains. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Tweak implementation of fmap

2021-04-29T10:23:39Z

Use an interator in two of the fmap tests so it is easier to add new items. Also check the name first since that is the first indication that something is wrong. Use a variable for the expected size of the fmap to avoid repeating the code. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Correct testSplNoDtb() and Tpl also

2021-04-29T10:20:54Z

These two tests require an ELF image so that symbol information can be written into the SPL/TPL binary. At present they rely on other tests having set it up first, but every test must run independently. This can cause occasional errors in CI. Fix this by setting up the required files, as other tests do. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Tom Rini

binman: Support default alignment for sections

2021-03-27T03:26:48Z

Sometimes it is useful to specify the default alignment for all entries in a section, such as when word-alignment is necessary, for example. It is tedious and error-prone to specify this individually for each section. Add a property to control this for a section. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Support obtaining section contents immediately

2021-03-27T03:26:48Z

Generally the content of sections is not built until the final assembly of the image. This is partly to avoid wasting time, since the entries within sections may change multiple times as binman works through its various stages. This works quite well since sections exist in a strict hierarchy, so they can be processed in a depth-first manner. However the 'collection' entry type does not have this luxury. If it contains a section within its 'content' list, then it must produce the section contents, if available. That section is typically a sibling node, i.e. not part oc the collection's hierarchy. Add a new 'required' argument to section.GetData() to support this. When required is True, any referenced sections are immediately built. If this is not possible (because one of the subentries does not have its data yet) then an error is produced. The test for this uses a 'collection' entry type, referencing a section as its first member. This forces a call to _BuildSectionData() with required set to False, at first, then True later, when the image is assembled. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Add support for a collection of entries

2021-03-27T03:26:48Z

The vblock entry type includes code to collect the data from a number of other entries (not necessarily subentries) and concatenating it. This is a useful feature for other entry types. Make it a base class, so that vblock can use it, along with other entry types. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
