patman: Reset the output directory when it is removed

2019-07-29T15:38:06Z

At present outdir remains set ever after the output directory has been removed. Fix this to avoid trying to access it when it is not present. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Support replacing data in a cbfs

2019-07-29T15:38:06Z

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.

binman: Add a bit of logging in entries when packing

2019-07-29T15:38:05Z

Use the new logging feature to log information about progress with packing. This is useful to see how binman is figuring things out. Also update elf.py to use the same feature. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Update tout to avoid open-coding the debug levels

2019-07-29T15:38:05Z

Use the debug level constants instead of open-coding them in the file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Use print() to print output

2019-07-29T15:38:05Z

At present tout writes directly to stdout. This is not necessary and it prevents tests from redirecting output. Change it to use print() for the non-progress output. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Allow for logging information to be displayed

2019-07-24T19:54:08Z

Binman generally operates silently but in some cases it is useful to see what Binman is actually doing at each step. Enable some logging output with different logging levels selectable via the -v flag. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Allow easy importing of entry modules

2019-07-24T19:54:08Z

At present entry modules can only be accessed using Entry.Lookup() or Entry.Create(). Most of the time this is fine, but sometimes a module needs to provide constants or helper functions useful to other modules. It is easier in this case to use 'import'. Add an __init__ file to permit this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

binman: Convert to use ArgumentParser

2019-07-24T19:54:07Z

This class is the new way to handle arguments in Python. Convert binman over to use it. At the same time, introduce commands so that we can separate out the different parts of binman functionality. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Add a function to write ifwitool

2019-07-24T19:53:46Z

This tool has quite a few arguments and options, so put the functionality in a function so that we call it from one place and hopefully get it right. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Add functions to compress and decompress data

2019-07-24T03:27:57Z

Add utility functions to compress and decompress using lz4 and lzma algorithms. In the latter case these use the legacy lzma support favoured by coreboot's CBFS. No tests are provided as these functions will be tested by the CBFS tests in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
