The name field of 'struct node' was really always supposed to be a
malloc()ed string, that is owned by the structure. To avoid an extra
strdup() for strings coming up from the lexer, name_node() expects to take
uch an already malloc()ed string, which means it's not correct to pass it
a static string literal.
That's a pretty non-obvious constraint, so a bunch of incorrect uses have
crept in. Really, avoiding the extra dup from the lexer isn't a big enough
benefit for this demonstrably dangerous interface. So change it to do the
xstrdup() itself, removing the burden from callers.

We always evaluate integer values in cell arrays as 64-bit quantities, then
truncate to the size of the array cells (32-bit by default). However to
detect accidental truncation of meaningful values, we give an error if the
truncated portion isn't either all 0 or all 1 bits. However, this can
still give counterintuitive errors. For if the user is thinking in 2's
complement 32-bit arithmetic (which would be quite natural), then they'd
expect the expression (-0xffffffff-2) to evaluate to -1 (0xffffffff).
However in 64-bit it evaluates to 0xfffffffeffffffff which does truncate
to the expected value but trips this error message.
Because of this reduce the error to only a warnings, with a somewhat more
helpful message.

Reference via label allows extending nodes with compile-time checking of
whether the node being extended exists. This is useful to catch
renamed/removed nodes after an update of the device trees to be extended.
In absence of labels in the original device trees, new style path
references can be used:
/* upstream device tree */
/ {
leds: some-non-standard-led-controller-name {
led-0 {
default-state = "off";
};
};
};
/* downstream device tree */
&{/some-non-standard-led-controller-name/led-0} {
default-state = "on";
};
This is a common theme within the barebox bootloader[0], which extends the
upstream (Linux) device trees in that manner. The downside is that,
especially for deep nodes, these references can get quite long and tend to
break often due to upstream rework (e.g. rename to adhere to bindings).
Often there is a label a level or two higher that could be used. This
patch allows combining both a label and a new style path reference to
get a compile-time-checked reference, which allows rewriting the
previous downstream device tree snippet to:
&{leds/led-0} {
default-state = "on";
};
This won't be broken when /some-non-standard-led-controller-name is
renamed or moved while keeping the label. And if led-0 is renamed, we
will get the expected compile-time error.
Overlay support is skipped for now as they require special support: The
label and relative path parts need to be resolved at overlay apply-time,
not at compile-time.

Extend the parser to record positions, in build_node,
build_node_delete, and build_property.
srcpos structures are added to the property and node types, and to the
parameter lists of the above functions that construct these types.
Nodes and properties that are created by the compiler rather than from
parsing source code have NULL as the srcpos value.
merge_nodes, defined in livetree.c, uses srcpos_extend to combine
multiple positions, resulting in a list of positions. srcpos_extend
is defined in srcpos.c. New elements are added at the end. This
requires the srcpos type, define in srcpos.h, to be a list structure
with a next field. This next field is initialized to NULL in
srcpos.h, in the macro YYLLOC_DEFAULT invoked implicitly by the
generated parser code.
Another change to srcpos.c is to make srcpos_copy always do a full
copy, including a copy of the file substructure. This is required
because when dtc is used on the output of cpp, the successive detected
file names overwrite the file name in the file structure. The next
field does not need to be deep copied, because it is always NULL when
srcpos_copy is called; an assert checks for this. File names are only
updated in uncopied position structures.

This change makes sure that nodes with target label references doesn't
create additional fragments if the label can been resolved
locally. Target path references are not resolved locally and will
generate a fragment.
Previously the dts below would generate two fragments:
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
&x { a: a@0 {};};
&a { b {}; };
This commit essentially reverts part of the commit "Correct overlay
syntactic sugar for generating target-path fragments". The main reason
we want to do this is that it breaks consumers of dtbo:s that can't
resolve references between fragments in the same dtbo (like the linux
4.1 kernel). In addition creating a fragment for each label reference
substantially increases the size of the resulting dtbo for some use
cases.

A number of platforms have a need to reduce the number of DT nodes,
mostly because of two similar constraints: the size of the DT blob, and
the time it takes to parse it.
As the DT is used in more and more SoCs, and by more projects, some
constraints start to appear in bootloaders running from SRAM with an
order of magnitude of 10kB. A typical DT is in the same order of
magnitude, so any effort to reduce the blob size is welcome in such an
environment.
Some platforms also want to reach very fast boot time, and the time it
takes to parse a typical DT starts to be noticeable.
Both of these issues can be mitigated by reducing the number of nodes in
the DT. The biggest provider of nodes is usually the pin controller and
its subnodes, usually one for each valid pin configuration in a given
SoC.
Obviously, a single, fixed, set of these nodes will be used by a given
board, so we can introduce a node property that will tell the DT
compiler to drop the nodes when they are not referenced in the tree, and
as such wouldn't be useful in the targetted system.

We've recently added "syntactic sugar" support to generate runtime dtb
overlays using similar syntax to the compile time overlays we've had for
a while. This worked with the &label { ... } syntax, adjusting an existing
labelled node, but would fail with the &{/path} { ... } syntax attempting
to adjust an existing node referenced by its path.
The previous code would always try to use the "target" property in the
output overlay, which needs to be fixed up, and __fixups__ can only encode
symbols, not paths, so the result could never work properly.
This adds support for the &{/path} syntax for overlays, translating it into
the "target-path" encoding in the output. It also changes existing
behaviour a little because we now unconditionally one fragment for each
overlay section in the source. Previously we would only create a fragment
if we couldn't locally resolve the node referenced. We need this for
path references, because the path is supposed to be referencing something
in the (not yet known) base tree, rather than the overlay tree we are
working with now. In particular one useful case for path based overlays
is using &{/} - but the constructed overlay tree will always have a root
node, meaning that without the change that would attempt to resolve the
fragment locally, which is not what we want.

This patch changes the dtc grammar to allow following syntax
i2cexp: &i2c2 {
...
};
Current device tree compiler allows to define multiple labels when defining
the device node the first time. Typically device nodes are defined in
DTSI files. Now these nodes can be overwritten for updating some of the
properties. Typically, device nodes are overridden in DTS files.
When working with adapter boards, most of the time adapter board can fit to
multiple base boards. But depending on which base board it is connected to,
the devices on the adapter board would be children of different devices.
e.g. On dra7-evm.dts, i2c2 is exported for expansion connector whereas
on dra72-evm.dts, i2c5 is exported for expansion connector.
This causes a problem when writing a generic device tree file for
the adapter board. Because, you cannot know whether all the devices on
adapter board are present on i2c or i2c5.
The problem can be solved by adding a common label (e.g. i2cexp) in both
of the DTS files when overriding the device nodes for i2c2 or i2c5.
This way, generic adapter board file would override the i2cexp. And
depending on which base board you use the adapter board, all the devices
are automatically added for correct device nodes.

parameters to eval_literal() are essentially useless.
So, clean things up by moving the literal interpretation back to the lexer.

With this patch the following property assignment:

It is now also possible to directly specify a 64 bit literal in a
cell list, also known as an array using:
property = /bits/ 64 <0xdeadbeef00000000>;
It is an error to attempt to store a literal into an element that is
too small to hold the literal, and the compiler will generate an
error when it detects this. For instance:
property = /bits/ 8 <256>;
Will fail to compile. It is also an error to attempt to place a

The documentation has been changed to reflect that the cell list

Currently, when in -Idts -Odtb or -Ifs -Odtb modes, dtc always
defaults to using 0 as the value for the boot_cpuid_phys header field.
That's correct quite often, but there are some systems where there is
no CPU with hardware ID of 0, or where we don't want to use the CPU
with hardware ID 0 at all (e.g. for AMP-style partitioning). The only
way to override this default currently, is with the -b command line
option.
This patch improves dtc to instead base the default boot_cpuid_phys
value on the reg property of the first listed subnode of /cpus. This
means that dtc will get boot_cpuid_phys correct by default in a
greater proportion of cases (since the boot cpu is usually listed
first, and this way at least the boot_cpuid_phys default will match
some existing cpu node). If the node doesn't exist or has an invalid
'reg' property (missing or not 4 bytes in length), then
boot_cpuid_phys is set to 0.

This patch cleans up our handling of input files, particularly dts

used by /incbin/ and those used in -I dtb and -I fs modes.
We eliminate the current clunky mechanism which combines search paths
(which we don't actually use at present) with the open relative to
current source file behaviour, which we do.
Instead there's a single srcfile_relative_open() entry point for
callers which opens a new input file relative to the current source
file (which the srcpos code tracks internally). It doesn't currently
do search paths, but we can add that later without messing with the
callers, by drawing the search path from a global (which makes sense
anyway, rather than shuffling it around the rest of the processing
code).
That suffices for non-dts input files. For the actual dts files,
srcfile_push() and srcfile_pop() wrappers open the file while also
keeping track of it as the current source file for future opens.

A subset of a file can be included by passing start and size parameters.
For example, to include bytes 8 through 23:
node {
prop = /incbin/("path/to/data", 8, 16);
};
As with /include/, non-absolute paths are looked for in the directory
of the source file that includes them.
Implementation revised, and a testcase added by David Gibson
