c71ee7e163 binman: Use unsigned long over typedef ulong
The header binman_sym.h depends on ulong typedef but does not include
types.h. This means the header must be included after including types.h
or a header that includes it.

We could include types.h but instead let's just switch from ulong
to directly using unsigned long. This removes the need for typedef'ing
it in some of the tests, so also remove those.

367ecbf2d3 spl: binman: Check at runtime if binman symbols were filled in
Binman lets us declare symbols in SPL/TPL that refer to other entries in
the same binman image as them. These symbols are filled in with the
correct values while binman assembles the images, but this is done
in-memory only. Symbols marked as optional can be filled with
BINMAN_SYM_MISSING as an error value if their referred entry is missing.

However, the unmodified SPL/TPL binaries are still available on disk,
and can be used by people. For these files, nothing ensures that the
symbols are set to this error value, and they will be considered valid
when they are not.

Empirically, all symbols show up as zero in a sandbox_vpl build when we
run e.g. tpl/u-boot-tpl directly. On the other hand, zero is a perfectly
fine value for a binman-written symbol, so we cannot say the symbols
have wrong values based on that.

Declare a magic symbol that binman always fills in with a fixed value.
Check this value as an indicator that symbols were filled in correctly.
Return the error value for all symbols when this magic symbol has the
wrong value.

For binman tests, we need to make room for the new symbol in the mocked
SPL/TPL data by extending them by four bytes. This messes up some test
image layouts. Fix the affected values, and check the magic symbol
wherever it makes sense.

d8830cf840 spl: binman: Split binman symbols support from enabling binman
Enabling CONFIG_BINMAN makes binman run after a build to package any
images specified in the device-tree. It also enables a mechanism for
SPL/TPL to declare and use special linker symbols that refer to other
entries in the same binman image. A similar feature that gets this info
from the device-tree exists for U-Boot proper, but it is gated behind a
CONFIG_BINMAN_FDT unlike the symbols.

Confusingly, CONFIG_SPL/TPL_BINMAN_SYMBOLS also exist. These configs
don't actually enable/disable the symbols mechanism as one would expect,
but declare some symbols for U-Boot using this mechanism.

Reuse the BINMAN_SYMBOLS configs to make them toggle the symbols
mechanism, and declare symbols for the U-Boot phases in a dependent
BINMAN_UBOOT_SYMBOLS config. Extend it to cover symbols of all phases.
Update the config prompt and help message to make it clearer about this.
Fix binman test binaries to work with CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(BINMAN_SYMBOLS).

83d290c56f SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style
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.

8bee2d251a binman: Add binman symbol support to SPL
Allow SPL to access binman symbols and use this to get the address of
U-Boot. This falls back to CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE if the binman symbol
is not available.

1979063264 binman: Support accessing binman tables at run time
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.
