This series provides a way to keep track of the images used in bootstd,
including the type of each image.
At present this is sort-of handled by struct bootflow but in quite an
ad-hoc way. The structure has become quite large and is hard to query.
Future work will be able to reduce its size.
Ultimately the 'bootflow info' command may change to also show images as
a list, but that is left for later, as this series is already fairly
long. So for now, just introduce the concept and adjust bootstd to use
it, with a simple command to list the images.
This series includes various alist enhancements, to make use of this new
data structure a little easier.

Dmitry Rokosov <ddrokosov@salutedevices.com> says:
This series consists of three patches.
The first patch modifies the function documentation style in the
include/fdt_support.h file to comply with kernel-doc requirements.
The second patch modifies the board_fdt_chosen_bootargs() function to
return a const char* type. This change clarifies to the caller that the
returned string should neither be freed nor modified. It aligns with the
existing fdt_setprop() function, which already utilizes a const char*
parameter. This promotes consistency within the codebase and enhances
code safety by preventing unintended modifications to the returned
string.
The third patch addresses the need for flexibility in providing kernel
command line arguments (bootargs) for different kernel images within the
same U-Boot environment. It introduces a read-only (RO) fdt_property
argument to the board_fdt_chosen_bootargs() function, allowing access to
the original chosen/bootargs data. This is crucial for scenarios where
different kernel versions require distinct console setups (e.g., ttyS0
for vendor kernels and ttyAML0 for upstream kernels). By enabling board
developers to either merge or replace the original bootargs, this
patch enhances the configurability of U-Boot for various kernel
images without relying on outdated configurations like CMDLINE_EXTEND.
CI/CD results: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/pull/716/checks
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241220-board_fdt_chosen_bootargs_improvements-v1-0-f6a7181787c5@salutedevices.com
Sometimes, it is necessary to provide an additional bootargs string to
the kernel command line.
We have a real scenario where one U-Boot blob needs to boot several
kernel images: the vendor-patched kernel image and the latest upstream
kernel image. The Amlogic (Meson architecture) tty driver has different
tty suffixes in these kernels: the vendor uses 'ttySx', while the
upstream implementation uses 'ttyAMLx'. The initial console setup is
provided to the kernel using the kernel command line (bootargs). For the
vendor kernel, we should use 'console=ttyS0,115200', while for the
upstream kernel, it must be 'console=ttyAML0,115200'. This means we have
to use different command line strings depending on the kernel version.
To resolve this issue, we cannot use the CMDLINE_EXTEND kernel
configuration because it is considered legacy and is not supported for
the arm64 architecture. CMDLINE_EXTEND is outdated primarily because we
can provide additional command line strings through the
'chosen/bootargs' FDT node. However, U-Boot uses this node to inject the
U-Boot bootargs environment variable content, which results in U-Boot
silently overriding all data in the 'chosen/bootargs' node. While we do
have the board_fdt_chosen_bootargs() board hook to address such issues,
this function lacks any FDT context, such as the original value of the
'chosen/bootargs' node.
This patch introduces a read-only (RO) fdt_property argument to
board_fdt_chosen_bootargs() to share the original 'chosen/bootargs' data
with the board code. Consequently, the board developer can decide how to
handle this information for their board setup: whether to drop it or
merge it with the bootargs environment.

It should be structured this way to demonstrate to the caller that
freeing the return value is unnecessary and that the caller cannot
modify it.
The function fdt_setprop() includes a parameter with a const char*
prototype, so it is better to use the const qualifier.

The boot_fdt_add_mem_rsv_regions() function can be called twice, e.g.
first time during the board init (as a part of LMB init), and then when
booting the OS with 'booti' command:
lmb_add_region_flags
lmb_reserve_flags
boot_fdt_reserve_region
boot_fdt_add_mem_rsv_regions
^
|
+-----------------------+
| (1) | (2)
lmb_reserve_common image_setup_linux
lmb_init ...
initr_lmb do_booti
board_init_r 'booti'
That consequently leads to the attempt of reserving the same memory
areas (described in the 'reserved-memory' dts node) in LMB. The
lmb_add_region_flags() returns -EEXIST error code in such cases, but
boot_fdt_reserve_region() handles all negative error codes as a failure
to reserve fdt memory region, printing corresponding error messages,
which are essentially harmless, but misleading. For example, this is the
output of 'booti' command on E850-96 board:
=> booti $loadaddr - $fdtaddr
...
ERROR: reserving fdt memory region failed
(addr=bab00000 size=5500000 flags=2)
ERROR: reserving fdt memory region failed
(addr=f0000000 size=200000 flags=4)
...
Starting kernel ...
The mentioned false positive error messages are observed starting with
commit 1d9aa4a283da ("lmb: Fix the allocation of overlapping memory
areas with !LMB_NONE"), which removes the check for the already added
memory regions in lmb_add_region_flags(), making it return -1 for
!LMB_NONE cases. Another commit 827dee587b75 ("fdt: lmb: add reserved
regions as no-overwrite") changes flags used for reserving memory in
boot_fdt_add_mem_rsv_regions() from LMB_NONE to LMB_NOOVERWRITE. So
together with the patch mentioned earlier, it makes
lmb_add_region_flags() return -1 when called from
boot_fdt_reserve_region().
Since then, the different patch was implemented, returning -EEXIST error
code in described cases, which is:
lmb: Return -EEXIST in lmb_add_region_flags() if region already added
Handle -EEXIST error code as a normal (successful) case in
lmb_reserve_flags() and don't print any messages.

The current implementation is reading the whole partition for boot and
vendor_boot image which can be long following the size of the
partition or the time to read blocks (driver/SoC specific).
For example with mediatek mt8365 EVK board, we have a 64MiB boot
partition and the boot image flashed in this partition is only 42MiB.
It takes ~8-9 secs to read the boot partition.
Instead we can retrieved the boot image and vendor boot image size
with these new functions:
- android_image_get_bootimg_size
- android_image_get_vendor_bootimg_size
Use these information and read only the necessary.
By doing this with mt8365 EVK board, we read boot image in ~5 secs.
