To parse the ELF kernel loader, a small ELF parser is used that can
handle both ELF32 or ELF64 class loaders. The splitter assumes that the
kernel is always located before the rootfs, whether it is embedded in
the loader or not. If the kernel is located after the rootfs on the
firmware partition, then the rootfs splitter will include it in the
dynamically created rootfs_data partition and the kernel will be
corrupted.
The kernel image is preferably embedded inside the ELF loader, so the
end of the loader equals the end of the kernel partition. This is due to
the way mtd_find_rootfs_from searches for the the rootfs:
- if the kernel image is embedded in the loader, the appended rootfs may
follow the loader immediately, within the same erase block.
- if the kernel image is not embedded in the loader, but placed at some
offset behind the loader (OKLI-style loader), the rootfs must be
aligned to an erase-block after the loader and kernel image.
In case section header table is empty, determine the elf loader size by
finding the end of the last segment, as defined by the program header
table.

This is useful when booting OpenWrt from ramdisks in order to have both

Furthermore, instead of always using img2 for the inactive image, let's use
img1 or img2 accordingly.

This driver provides an OF MTD parser to properly assign the RouterBoot
partitions on the flash. This parser builds from the "fixed-partitions"
one (see ofpart.c), but it can handle dynamic partitions as found on
routerboot devices.
The parent node must contain the following:
compatible = "mikrotik,routerboot-partitions";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
Children routerbootpart DTS nodes are defined as follows:
For fixed partitions
node-name@unit-address {
reg = <prop-encoded-array>;
label = <string>;
read-only;
lock;
};
All properties but reg are optional.
For dynamic partitions:
node-name {
size = <prop-encoded-array>;
label = <string>;
read-only;
lock;
};
size property is mandatory unless the next partition is a fixed one or
a "well-known" one (matched from the strings defined below) in which case
it can be omitted or set to 0; other properties are optional.
By default dynamic partitions are appended after the preceding one, except
for "well-known" ones which are automatically located on flash.
Well-known partitions (matched via label or node-name):
- "hard_config"
- "soft_config"
- "dtb_config"
This parser requires the DTS to list partitions in ascending order as
expected on the MTD device.
This parser has been successfully tested on BE (ath79) and LE (ipq40xx
and ramips) hardware.

Between 4.19 and 5.4, mtd parsers have been moved to "parsers"
subdirectory. Based on this, the selection of myloader.o in OpenWrt
was also moved to that subdirectory, while the Kconfig and our local
myloader.c file remained in /drivers/mtd.
This resulted in linking errors like the following (on ath25@5.4):
make[8]: *** No rule to make target 'drivers/mtd/parsers/myloader.o', ...
needed by 'drivers/mtd/parsers/built-in.a'. Stop.
make[7]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:500: drivers/mtd/parsers] Error 2
make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:500: drivers/mtd] Error 2
Since myloader.c is not too big, this patch moves it to the kernel patches,
allowing to adjust the path for kernel 5.4 and keeping Makefiles and
file paths better in sync.
Other patches have been refreshed accordingly.

This fixes off-by-one error introduced in commit dc76900021
("kernel: Correctly search for the FIT image in mtd partition.")
Function `mtd_read` starts reading at `offset` and
needs `hdr_len` number of bytes to be available. Suppose
the easiest case when `offset` is `0` and `hdr_len` equals
to `mtd->size` - the `for` loop will not be entered even
when enough bytes are available to be read.
Same happens for any non-zero `offset`, when `hdr_len` is
just enough bytes to be read until `mtd->size` is reached.
Imagine that for example `mtd->size=5`, `offset=4` and
`hdr_len=1`. Then `offset+hdr_len=5` and the check has to
be `offset+hdr_len <= mtd->size`, i.e. `5 <= 5`. The
check for `offset + hdr_len` value needs to be inclusive,
therefore use `<=`.

This adds support for uImage used by OpenWrt kernel loader.
The parser searches for uImage header at flash eraseblock boundary
and it might attempt to split any firmware with loader, therefore
this entry doesn't have MTD_PARSER_TYPE_FIRMWARE so that this parser
is only used when explicitly defined in dts.

This parser's matching function appears to be too generic as it matches
e.g. Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH. That results in incorrect parts parsing.
Luckily this parser is needed by Fon FON2601 only which uses DT-based
ramips target. It means we can depend on mtd subsystem matching of
"fonfxc,uimage" string.
That said triggering this parser based on the "firmware" (or whatever
MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE_NAME is) partiiton name is not needed. It can be
dropped which will automatically fix the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH case.

This reverts commit e92a14709d.
mtdsplit_uimage_parse_fonfxc() gets called in two situations:
1) It was /requested/ from DT using "fonfxc,uimage" compatible string
2) It was called by parsing code after finding "firmware"
(MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE_NAME) due to the parser's type
Code added in the /fix/ commit basically just disabled the second case.
If that's the real goal it could be achieved by simply dropping type
MTD_PARSER_TYPE_FIRMWARE. It may however require another solution as
it's possible that some non-DT target actually needs fonfxc uImage
parsing.

We cannot distinguish between fonfxc uImage and generic uImage because
fonfxc uImage header is almost same as generic uImage, except padding
length after image name.
The fonfxc uImage parser is available when specifying directly with DT
compatible property. So this patch adds check if the partition DT node
is compatible with the parser.

The WRGG images exist in both big and little endian variants,
as can be seen from the image generator in
tools/firmware-utils/src/mkwrggimg.c, you either pass
the "-b" flag or not. The D-Link DIR-685 is using little
endian images so we need to support splitting these.
Detect endianness like this: if the kernel entity size
gets silly big (bigger than the flash memory) we are
probably using the wrong endianness.
Example: my kernel of 0x0067ff64 was switched around by
wrong endianness and detected as 0x64ff67a0 (the actual
size in swapped endianness + header 0xa0).

The splitter ignored the rootfs offset from the header, probably
because until c1e6e61 it was invalid.
This patch fixes the splitter to use the now correct header data.
Regarding target/linux/ar71xx/files/drivers/mtd/tplinkpart.c,
this particular splitter "falls back" to the correct rootfs offset
reading and as such it doesn't need to be updated, although it will
report a kernel partition length that can be larger than the actual
length as it assumes that partition fills the entire segment up to
the rootfs partition.

The RouterBOOT bootloader does not care where the kernel lives in the SPI
flash, all that matters is that the kernel is wrapped in the custom yaffs
container as generated by kernel2minor.
This container has a fixed signature as follows:
00000000 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 ff ff 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c |..........kernel|
This patch adds mtdsplit support for identifying that signature and
triggering the search for the rootfs. rootfs is expected at EB boundary since
we use wget mtd_find_rootfs_from(). We make no use of the yaffs file size
field because it contains invalid data in the image generated by kernel2minor.

This patch adds supports for the WNR2000v1 board with 4MB flash, and
produces device-specific factory, rootfs, and sysupgrade files for the
WNR2000v1. This board is errorneously claimed as supported on the OpenWRT
wiki as AP81, but AP81 image would not work because of APT81 image
requiring having 8MB of flash, while WNR2000v1 has only 4MB.
The image requires the u-boot bootloader to be modified to fuhry's
bootloader first.
Short specification:
- CPU: Atheros AR9132
- 4x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, 1x WAN 10/100 Mbps
- 4 MB of Flash
- 32 MB of RAM
- UART header (J1) on board
- 1x button
Factory/Initial flash instructions:
- Set up a TFTP server on your local machine.
- Download the uImage for ar71xx-generic and the rootfs image for
ar71xx-generic-wnr2000 and save in the tftp server root.
- Gain serial access to the router via the UART port (telnetenable over
the network only won't work!).
- Upgrade the u-boot bootloader to fuhry's version by running the
script: http://fuhry.com/b/wnr2000/install-repart.sh
- When the router restarts, interrupt u-boot and gain access to u-boot command line.
- Repartititon the board and flash initial uImage and rootfs as follow.
Commands to type in u-boot:
# tells u-boot that we have a tftp server on 192.168.1.10
setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
# tells u-boot that the router should take the address 192.168.1.1
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
# erase the region from 0x050000-0x3f0000
erase 0xbf050000 +0x3A0000
# loads sqfs.bin on TFTP server, and put it to memory address 0x81000000
tftpboot 0x81000000 sqfs.bin
# it will tell you the length of sqfs.bin in hex, let's say ZZZZZZ
# copy bit by bit 0xZZZZZZ bytes from offset 0x050000
cp.b 0x81000000 0xbf050000 0xZZZZZZ
# same to the uImage.bin, write it right next to sqfs.bin
# again, 0xYYYYYY is the length that tftpboot reports
tftpboot 0x81000000 uImage.bin
cp.b 0x81000000 0xbf2a0000 0xYYYYYY
# We need to tell the kernel what board it is booting into, and where to find the partitions
setenv bootargs "board=WNR2000 console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=spi0.0:256k(u-boot)ro,64k(u-boot-env)ro,3712k(firmware),64k(art)ro rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 noinitrd"
# Tell u-boot where to find the uImage
setenv bootcmd "bootm 0xbf2a0000"
# Tell u-boot to save parameters to the u-boot-env partitions
saveenv
# Reset the board
reset
Tested on:
- WNR2000v1 board.
- Initial flash works.
Known bugs:
- I don't know why factory image doesn't work on initial flash on stock
firmware in u-boot recovery mode while it should.
- Sysupgrade does not yet work, if you do -f it will mess up your
installation (requiring a reinstall of sqfs and uImage).
