Normally when an entry is created, any entry arguments it has are required
to be provided, so it can actually generate its contents correctly.
However when an existing image is read, Entry objects are created for each
of the entries in the image. This happens as part of the process of
reading the image into binman.
In this case we don't need the entry arguments, since we do not intend to
regenerate the entries, or at least not unless requested. So there is no
sense in reporting an error for missing entry arguments.
Add a new property for the Image to handle this case. Update the error
reporting to be conditional on this property.

When a section is compressed, all entries within it are grouped together
into a compressed block of data. This obscures the start of each
individual child entry.
Avoid reporting bogus 'image-pos' properties in this case, since it is
not possible to access the entry at the location provided. The entire
section must be decompressed first.
CBFS does not support compressing whole sections, only individual files,

Section contents is not set up when ObtainContents() is called, since
packing often changes the layout of the contents. Ensure that the contents
are correctly recorded by making this function regenerate the section. It
is normally only called by the parent section (when packing) or by the
top-level image code, when writing out the image. So the performance
impact is fairly small.
Now that sections have their contents in their 'data' property, update

At present this method assumes that the parent section does not need

when the entry changes size this may not be true. Also if the parent
section is more than just a container (e.g. it is a CBFS) then the
section may need to regenerate its output.

Sometimes an entry may shrink after it has already been packed. In that
case we must repack the items. Of course it is always possible to just
leave the entry at its original size and waste space at the end. This is
what binman does by default, since there is the possibility of the entry
changing size every time binman calculates its contents, thus causing a
loop.

The positioning does not currently work correctly if at the end of an
image with no fixed size. Also if the header is in the middle of an image
it can cause a gap in the image since the header position is normally at
the image end, so entries after it are placed after the end of the image.

At present we have an 'image' property in the entry for this purpose, but

At present the Entry constructor sets up the object and then immediately
reads its device-tree node to obtain its properties.
This breaks a convention that constructors should not do any processing.
A consequence is that we must pass all arguments to the constructor and
cannot have the node-reading proceed in a different way unless we pass
flags to that constructor. We already have a 'test' flag in a few cases,
and now need to control whether the 'orig_offset' and 'orig_size'
properties are set or not.

construction. The Image class remains as it was.

When support for sections (and thus hierarchical images) was added to
binman, the decision was made to create a new Section class which could
be used by both Image and an Entry_section class. The decision between
using inheritance and composition was tricky to make, but in the end it
was decided that Image was different enough from Entry that it made sense
to put the implementation of sections in an entirely separate class. It
also has the advantage that core Image code does have to rely on an entry
class in the etype directory.
This work was mostly completed in commit:
8f1da50ccc "binman: Refactor much of the image code into 'section'
As a result of this, the Section class has its own version of things like
offset and size and these must be kept in sync with the parent
Entry_section class in some cases.
In the last year it has become apparent that the cost of keeping things in
sync is larger than expected, since more and more code wants to access
these properties.
An alternative approach, previously considered and rejected, now seems
better.
Adjust Image to be a subclass of Entry_section. Move the code from Section
(in bsection.py) to Entry_section and delete Section. Update all tests
accordingly.
This requires substantial changes to Image. Overall the changes reduce
code size by about 240 lines. While much of that is just boilerplate from
Section, there are quite a few functions in Entry_section which now do not
need to be overiden from Entry. This suggests the change is beneficial
even without further functionality being added.
A side benefit is that the properties of sections are now consistent with
other entries. This fixes a problem in testListCmd() where some properties
are missing for sections.
Unfortunately this is a very large commit since it is not feasible to do
the migration piecemeal. Given the substantial tests available and the
100% code coverage of binman, we should be able to do this safely.

This removes the limitation that entry size cannot change after
PackEntries() is called.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
At present if this function tries to update the contents such that the
size changes, it raises an error. We plan to add the ability to change
the size of entries after packing is completed, since in some cases it is
not possible to determine the size in advance.
An example of this is with a compressed device tree, where the values
of the device tree change in SetCalculatedProperties() or
ProcessEntryContents(). While the device tree itself does not change size,
since placeholders for any new properties have already bee added by
AddMissingProperties(), we cannot predict the size of the device tree
after compression. If a value changes from 0 to 0x1234 (say), then the
compressed device tree may expand.
As a first step towards supporting this, make ProcessContentsUpdate()
return a value indicating whether the content size is OK. For now this is
always True (since otherwise binman raises an error), but later patches
will adjust this.
