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.

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.

A recent change adjusted the symbol calculation to work on x86 but broke
it for Tegra. In fact this is because they have different needs.
On x86 devices the code is linked to a ROM address and the end-at-4gb
property is used for the image. In this case there is no need to add the
base address of the image, since the base address is already built into
the offset and image-pos properties.
On other devices we must add the base address since the offsets start at
zero.
In addition the base address is currently added to the 'offset' and 'size'
values. It should in fact only be added to 'image-pos', since 'offset' is
relative to its parent and 'size' is not actually an address. This code
should have been adjusted when support for 'image-pos' and 'size' was
added, but it was not.
To correct these problems:
- move the code that handles adding the base address to section.py, which
can check the end-at-4gb property and which property
(offset/size/image-pos) is being read
- add the base address only when needed (only for image-pos and not if the
image uses end-at-4gb)
- add a note to the documentation
- add a separate test to cover x86 behaviour

It is useful to be able to access the size of an image in SPL, with
something like:
binman_sym_declare(unsigned long, u_boot_any, size);
...
ulong u_boot_size = binman_sym(ulong, u_boot_any, size);
Add support for this and update the tests.

We use the Makefile for all ELF test files now, so drop all the code that

Remove this file from git and instead build it using the Makefile.
With this change a few things need to be adjusted:
1. The 'notes' section no-longer appears at the start of the ELF file
(before the code), so update testSymbols to adjust the offsets.
2. The dynamic linker is disabled to avoid errors like:
"Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N"
3. The interpreter note is moved to the end of the image, so that the
binman symbols appear first.

At present the ELF test files are checked into the U-Boot tree. This is
covenient since the files never change and can be used on non-x86
platforms. However it is not good practice to check in binaries and in
this case it does not seem essential.
Update the binman test-file Makefile to support having source in a
different directory. Adjust binman to run it to build bss_data, as a
start. We can add other files as needed.

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
The method of multiplying a character by a number works well for creating
a repeated string in Python 2. But in Python 3 we need to use bytes()
instead, to avoid unicode problems, since 'bytes' is no-longer just an
alias of 'str'.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Binman construct images consisting of multiple binary files. These files
sometimes need to know (at run timme) where their peers are located. For
example, SPL may want to know where U-Boot is located in the image, so
that it can jump to U-Boot correctly on boot.
In general the positions where the binaries end up after binman has
finished packing them cannot be known at compile time. One reason for
this is that binman does not know the size of the binaries until
everything is compiled, linked and converted to binaries with objcopy.
To make this work, we add a feature to binman which checks each binary
for symbol names starting with '_binman'. These are then decoded to figure
out which entry and property they refer to. Then binman writes the value
of this symbol into the appropriate binary. With this, the symbol will
have the correct value at run time.
Macros are used to make this easier to use. As an example, this declares
a symbol that will access the 'u-boot-spl' entry to find the 'pos' value
(i.e. the position of SPL in the image):
binman_sym_declare(unsigned long, u_boot_spl, pos);
This converts to a symbol called '_binman_u_boot_spl_prop_pos' in any
binary that includes it. Binman then updates the value in that binary,
ensuring that it can be accessed at runtime with:
ulong u_boot_pos = binman_sym(ulong, u_boot_spl, pos);
This assigns the variable u_boot_pos to the position of SPL in the image.

In some cases we need to read symbols from U-Boot. At present we have a
a few cases which does this via 'nm' and 'grep'.
It is better to use objdump since that tells us the size of the symbols
and also whether it is weak or not.
Add a new module which reads ELF information from files. Update existing
uses of 'nm' to use this module.
