The current fiptool packs all the images without any padding between
them. So, the offset to each image has no alignment. This is not
efficient, for example, when the FIP is read from a block-oriented
device.
For example, (e)MMC is accessed by block-addressing. The block size
is 512 byte. So, the best case is each image is aligned by 512 byte
since the DMA engine can transfer the whole of the image to its load
address directly. The worst case is the offset does not have even
DMA-capable alignment (this is where we stand now). In this case,
we need to transfer every block to a bounce buffer, then do memcpy()
from the bounce buffer to our final destination. At least, this
should work with the abstraction by the block I/O layer, but the
CPU-intervention for the whole data transfer makes it really slow.
This commit adds a new option --align to the fiptool. This option,
if given, requests the tool to align each component in the FIP file
by the specified byte. Also, add a new Make option FIP_ALIGN for
easier access to this feature; users can give something like
FIP_ALIGN=512 from the command line, or add "FIP_ALIGN := 512" to
their platform.mk file.

The struct image has "uuid" and "size" to memorize the field values
they had in the TOC entry. So, parse_fip() copies them from struct
fip_toc_entry to struct image, then pack_images() copies them back
to struct fip_toc_entry.
The next commit (support --align option) will require to save the
"offset" field as well. This makes me realize that struct image
can embed struct fip_toc_entry.
This commit will allow the "flags" field to persevere the "update"
command. At this moment, the "flags" is not used in a useful way.
(Yet, platforms can save their own parameters in the flags field.)
It makes sense to save it unless users explicitly replace the image.

We need not handle the image_head as a special case. Just use

Commit e0f083a09b ("fiptool: Prepare ground for expanding the set
of images at runtime") introduced another side effect; the "update"
command now changes the image order in the FIP.
Let's say you have an FIP with BL2, BL31, BL32, BL33. If you update
for example, BL32 with the "update" command, you will get a new FIP
with BL2, BL31, BL33, BL32, in this order.
It happens like this; remove_image() removes the old image from the
linked list, add_image() adds the new image at the tail of the list,
then images are packed in the new order. Prior to that commit,
images were updated by replace_image(), but it was deleted by the
re-work. Revive replace_image() that is re-implemented to work with
the linked list.

The conditional

is always true here because we assert it 6 lines above:

This line should check the existence of the input file, but it is
actually checking the output file. When -o option is given to the
"update" command, the outfile is unlikely to exist, then parse_fip()
is skipped and an empty FIP file is output. This is wrong behavior.

The "make fip" shows the content of the generated FIP at the end of
the build. (This is shown by "fiptool info" command.)
Prior to commit e0f083a09b ("fiptool: Prepare ground for expanding
the set of images at runtime"), the last part of the build log of
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- BL33=../u-boot/u-boot.bin fip
was like follows:
Trusted Boot Firmware BL2: offset=0xB0, size=0x4188, cmdline="--tb-fw"
EL3 Runtime Firmware BL31: offset=0x4238, size=0x6090, cmdline="--soc-fw"
Non-Trusted Firmware BL33: offset=0xA2C8, size=0x58B51, cmdline="--nt-fw"
With that commit, now it is displayed like follows:
Non-Trusted Firmware BL33: offset=0xB0, size=0x58B51, cmdline="--nt-fw"
EL3 Runtime Firmware BL31: offset=0x58C01, size=0x6090, cmdline="--soc-fw"
Trusted Boot Firmware BL2: offset=0x5EC91, size=0x4188, cmdline="--tb-fw"
You will notice two differences:
- the contents are displayed in BL33, BL31, BL2 order
- the offset values are wrong
The latter is more serious, and means "fiptool info" is broken.
Another interesting change is "fiptool update" every time reverses
the image order. For example, if you input FIP with BL2, BL31, BL33
in this order, the command will pack BL33, BL31, BL2 into FIP, in
this order. Of course, the order of components is not a big deal
except that users will have poor impression about this.
The root cause is in the implementation of add_image(); the
image_head points to the last added image. For example, if you call
add_image() for BL2, BL31, BL33 in this order, the resulted image
chain is:
image_head -> BL33 -> BL31 -> BL2
Then, they are processed from the image_head in "for" loops:
for (image = image_head; image != NULL; image = image->next) {
This means images are handled in Last-In First-Out manner.
Interestingly, "fiptool create" is still correct because
add_image_desc() also reverses the descriptor order and the command
works as before due to the double reverse.
The implementation of add_image() is efficient, but it made the
situation too complicated.
Let's make image_head point to the first added image. This will
add_image() inefficient because every call of add_image() follows
the ->next chain to get the tail. We can solve it by adopting a
nicer linked list structure, but I am not doing as far as that
because we handle only limited number of images anyway.
Do likewise for add_image_desc().

An image descriptor contains an action and an argument. The action
indicates the intended operation, as requested by the user. It can be
pack, unpack or remove. Factor out setting those fields to a separate
function to minimize code duplication across the various commands that
modify these fields.

Previously, fiptool only understood a fixed set of images as
specified in tbbr_config.c. It preserved unknown images during
the update, unpack and remove operations but it was not possible to
explicitly refer to one of those unknown images.
Add a new --blob option to create/update/unpack/remove images that
are not known at compile time. This is accomplished by specifying
the UUID and filename pair as shown below:
$ ./fiptool create --blob uuid=01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef,file=foo.bin fip.bin
$ ./fiptool info fip.bin
01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef: offset=0x60, size=0x1AA68

To allow operating on images with unknown UUIDs, fiptool needs to
be able to track an arbitrary amount of images and not be limited
to the set of images described by the builtin table.
Convert the table to a list to accommodate this scenario.

Instead of always calling the top level usage function when an
error is detected, call the command-specific usage function.
For example running `fiptool create` will produce the same output
as `fiptool help create`. This is more convenient for the user
when they make a mistake.

This feature allows one to quickly verify that the expected
image is contained in the FIP without extracting the image and
running sha256sum(1) on it.
The sha256 digest is only shown when the verbose flag is used.
This change requires libssl-dev to be installed in order to build
Trusted Firmware. Previously, libssl-dev was optionally needed only
to support Trusted Board Boot configurations.

fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
the fip_create program. It serves as a better base to build on more
features in the future.
fiptool supports various subcommands. Below are the currently
supported subcommands:
1) info - List the images contained in a FIP file.
2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file. This is a new command that
was not present in fip_create.
To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".
To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".
To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
"fiptool info".
A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
fip_create is provided. Existing scripts might or might not work with
the compatibility script. Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
fiptool.
