* libfdt: Implement property iteration functionsDavid Gibson2011-07-143-36/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For ages, we've been talking about adding functions to libfdt to allow iteration through properties. So, finally, here are some. I got bogged down on this for a long time because I didn't want to expose offsets directly to properties to the callers. But without that, attempting to make reasonable iteration functions just became horrible. So eventually, I settled on an interface which does now expose property offsets. fdt_first_property_offset() and fdt_next_property_offset() are used to step through the offsets of the properties starting from a particularly node offset. The details of the property at each offset can then be retrieved with either fdt_get_property_by_offset() or fdt_getprop_by_offset() which have interfaces similar to fdt_get_property() and fdt_getprop() respectively. No explicit testcases are included, but we do use the new functions to reimplement the existing fdt_get_property() function.

* Support ePAPR compliant phandle propertiesDavid Gibson2011-07-141-6/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the Linux kernel, libfdt and dtc, when using flattened device trees encode a node's phandle into a property named "linux,phandle". The ePAPR specification, however - aiming as it is to not be a Linux specific spec - requires that phandles be encoded in a property named simply "phandle". This patch adds support for this newer approach to dtc and libfdt. Specifically: - fdt_get_phandle() will now return the correct phandle if it is supplied in either of these properties - fdt_node_offset_by_phandle() will correctly find a node with the given phandle encoded in either property. - By default, when auto-generating phandles, dtc will encode it into both properties for maximum compatibility. A new -H option allows either only old-style or only new-style properties to be generated. - If phandle properties are explicitly supplied in the dts file, dtc will not auto-generate ones in the alternate format. - If both properties are supplied, dtc will check that they have the same value. - Some existing testcases are updated to use a mix of old and new-style phandles, partially testing the changes. - A new phandle_format test further tests the libfdt support, and the -H option.

* Switch from archive libraries to partial linkingSebastien Carlier2010-11-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols". This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended. This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is inspired. The name of each former library archive is preserved except for extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker scripts. This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but include source files that depend these disabled features in the build, resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include: - disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS; - enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE. Signed-off-by: Sebastien Carlier <sebastien.carlier@gmail.com>
