[PATCH] Add support for binary includes.

[PATCH] Add support for binary includes.

[Scott Wood]

A property's data can be populated with a file's contents
as follows:

node {
	prop = /incbin/("path/to/data");
};

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.

I still dislike the syntax, but haven't thought of a better one yet.
There are some issues with the implementation too, but I've been a bit
too busy with ePAPR stuff to review properly.

Soon, I hope.

Can I ask; what is the intended usage of such a thing?  How large
would a typical binary blob be?

Binary includes are a critical feature of the new image format for
U-Boot. In short: we're describing image's content and other data
(architecture, os, image type, etc) in dts format, and then use dtc to
generate the file that is transferred to the target and booted by
U-Boot. Excerpt from an actual file describing an image:

/{
         images {
                 kernel@1 {
                         data = /incbin/("./vmlinux.bin.gz");
                         type = "kernel";
                         arch = "ppc";
                         os = "linux";
                         compression = "gzip";
                         load = <00000000>;
                         entry = <00000000>;
                 };
         };
};

As to the size of the final blob in our case, it depends. It seems that
in case of a powerpc Linux booting scenario, most of the times the size
will be roughly the size of a compressed kernel + the size of the FDT
blob, eventually plus the size of a ramdisk. Note however, that the new
image format has provisions for handling multiple components of the same
type in one image, so for example you could have three kernels, two
ramdisks and a couple of fdt blobs in one image, and the actual booting
configuration could be selected in U-Boot. In such a case, the final
blob can be arbitrarily large.

Bartlomiej

That's what I was wondering about.  Is this really a good idea?
Effectively, in the Linux kernel the device tree is being used as a
big blob of initdata, except that it cannot free the memory allocated
by the device tree when it is complete.  As it is right now, device
trees seem to weigh in between 4-8kB, a pretty insignificant size for
memory that cannot be reclaimed.  However, if firmware blobs start
getting added to the tree that size could balloon pretty quickly.

I'm not actually opposed to the feature, and I understand that it is
needed for the new u-boot image format, but I think we need some usage
guidelines in place when this feature is merged.  As much as possible
I think we should be directing developers to use the existing firmware
loading facilities in the Linux kernel.

Cheers,
g.

I use it for embedding guest device trees in a hypervisor's device tree.

Why wouldn't we instead, say, extend the source sytax
to allow a sub-tree or an embedded tree, rather than
obscuring an opaque form of that guest device tree?

That was what I tried initially, but the implementation was much more
complicated, and path references are problematic.

I'm OK with the syntax, but whatever-ish.

Would these be better?:

    prop = /call/(incbin, "path/to/data", 17, 23);
    prop = /call[incbin]/("path/to/data");
    prop = /call incbin/("path/to/data", 12, 12+10);

What is the aspect of the syntax that you don't like?
I think we essentially need to stick in the /.../ realm
to be consistent with the other non-standard names being
used, like /include/.

I can see a generalized form that allows other pre-defined
or user-defined "functions" to be introduced and called
or used in a similar way:

    prop = <(22 + /fibonacci/(7)) 1000>;

    prop = /directoryof/("/path/to/some/file.doc");

    interrupt-map = /pci_int_map/(8000, 2, 14);

or whatever.  We can paint this bikeshed for a long time
if we need to.  Or, we can get down to some serious issue
if there are any.  Are there?

Ugh, I like those even less.

> What is the aspect of the syntax that you don't like?

Well, when I first objected, I didn't really know why.  But
contemplating your discussion below has helped by crystallise why this
syntax is making my ugly sense tingle.

1) I've no problem with using /word/ for "reserved words".  It's what
we're already doing, and importantly it's lexically distinct in all
contexts, even in proximity to the lexically troublesome node and
property names.

2) I've no problem with <something>(arg, arg, arg) function syntax.
Functions are handy, and this is consistent with our "least suprise to
C programmers" design principle.

What I don't like is the combination of the two.  Using the /word/
form in (1) suggests that each /word/ is a lexically distinct symbol
with functions in different contexts: consider /dts-v1/, /include/,
/memreserve/ - they're all used only in their own distinct context.
Use of /word/s in (2) would suggest that each /word/ is just an
identifier for a different function, and should all be usable in a
similar grammtical context - which won't be true of /memreserve/,
/dts-v1/ and any other truly lexically distinct symbols we need to
add.

> I think we essentially need to stick in the /.../ realm

So, with the thoughts about, I come to the conclusion that, yes, we
should stick to /.../ for things which really act like reserved words,
but binary includes aren't one of those things.

Unlike source includes, binary includes only make sense inside a
property *value* (or to put it another way, an a context suitable for
an expression).  Which means the possible lexical confusion with
node/property names that motivated the /foo/ form in the first place
disappears.


So, I see two good options for the binary include.  Once is to treat
binary includes as a new special operator.  That operator (as it's
own, lexically distinct symbol) can be represented by a /word/, but in
that case, using it shouldn't look like a general function call.

Or, we can treat binary includes as a built-in function, see below.

So, I like the notion of functions like this, but with identifiers
that aren't /word/s.  Re-invoking the "least surprise to C
programmers" principle, in general I think the identifiers should be
as C identifiers (i.e. [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*).  With one caveat, it's
not essential but it might be worthwhile to make built-in function
identifiers obviously distinct from user-defined ones (if we add those
in future).


PS. I do see one potential gotcha with C-like function syntax.  As we
add expression support, the obvious way to handle constructs like:
	prop = <0x1 0x2>, "string";
Is to treat ',' as a bytestring concatenation operator.  There's
potentialy ambiguity between that usage and it's use as a separator
for function arguments.  Of course the same issue exists in C with its
comma operator, so it's not a showstopper.

Well, while I discuss the syntax with Jon, here's some comments on the
implementation.

Ugh.
	1) Error messages direct to the user really don't belong in
data.c's low-level support routines.  This does mean we might need to
substantially change this function so there's some other way of
reporting the error to the caller who can report it.
	2) The horrid name 'yyerror()' exists only to match what bison
expects.  It should never be used outside the parse code (we probably
should create more generally usable error/warning functions, though).
	3) Is %zu portable?

It should be possible to combine these two functions.

Hrm.  A test which will cover this case should go into
data_grow_for(), I think.

It seems fairly widespread, but I don't know if it's specified by any
standards.  Some googling shows that _LARGE_FILES and _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
are used in some environments.

Any suggestions on a mechanism that doesn't throw away information by

A while back I sent out a spiel explaining more clearly why I didn't
like it, and where I thought we should go with this, but I don't think
anyone noticed it at the time.  I'll resend.

I started working towards a version of this I liked, but was
sidetracked by a combination of my own other work, and the fact that
Jon's been busy meaning there's a rather large lag on merging dtc
patches.

Actually realised that spiel was in the same mail as by "I like this
even less" comment - same one I sent a pointer to an archive for.  I'd
been hoping for some kind of response from you.

Not quite, this one slipped through the cracks:

dtc: Fix some printf() format warnings when compiling 64-bit

Currently, dtc generates a few gcc build warnings if built for a
64-bit target, due to the altered type of uint64_t and size_t.  This
patch fixes the warnings (without generating new warnings for 32-bit).

I don't understand this conclusion -- I wouldn't expect to be able to 
use "for" or "while" at file scope of C code, just because I can use 
"struct", "int", or "sizeof" there.  The slashes are simply a way of 
creating reserved words, some of which happen to be function-like.

That would make it difficult to have function-like syntax outside of 
properties.

We have a way to make them obviously distinct -- slashes. :-)

Heh, when I started revisiting this after my long hiatus doing other
things, I was thinking the same way.  I still have a few misgivings,
but then the nice thing about the slash-delimited reserved word thing
is that even if we come up with a new, nicer syntax it's not going to
hurt to keep the slash-form around for compatibility.

sizeof is an interesting example.  As you point out it's an example of
a function-like reserved word, which given our existing approach to
reserved words supports your syntax.  On the other hand, we may well
want a sizeof operator in dtc itself as part of our expression
support, and in that case, the "be like C" principle suggests it
should be rendered as "sizeof" rather than "/sizeof/".

But as I said that can be dealt with in the future without breaking
compatibility.  Objection withdrawn.

Sorry it's taken this long :(.

Not really.  The only thing such identifiers are ambiguous with is
node and property names, and we've already headed down the path of
making lexical contexts in which node/property names are recognized be
the exception.

My plan for the future here was to have { } always be the thing that
introduces a node/property name context.  That's roughly right for the
existing node syntax - obviously there's a bit more complexity there,
since we switch back to normal/expression context after a node/prop
name, then back to node/prop name context after ';'.  Then for any
expression operators that take node/prop names, I suggest we also use
{ }, so if 'foo' is a node expression, then maybe 'foo{reg}' to
extract the 'reg' property from the node represented by foo.

I'll need a little finessing, but I think using a lexer context stack
it shouldn't be too hard to handle.

Hi,

To add one more point to the discussion: the /incbin/ syntax is being
used in the new image format of U-Boot (we're using dtc with original
patch by Scott Wood, i.e.,
http://www.nabble.com/-PATCH--Add-support-for-binary-includes.-td15596760.html).

If possible, it would be good to have the original syntax preserved once
the feature is merged into the mainline dtc. BTW: any idea on when this
might happen?

Regards,
Bartlomiej

Scott's original patch does still have some implementation details I
didn't like.  So in the interests of saving time, I've addressed some
of those, added a testcase, and and now resubmitting my revised
version of Scott's patch.

dtc: Add support for binary includes.

A property's data can be populated with a file's contents
as follows:

node {
	prop = /incbin/("path/to/data");
};

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

It'd be nice if we could keep the filename around for reporting here...

It would.  Well, I've been intending to clean up the input file
handling in several ways already, I'll see if that can be worked in.

With Scott's ACK on this, I intend commit David's patch.
So if you adjust the input file reporting here, please
do it as an "additional patch."

And for the record, I will also make an official tagged
release just after any such cleanup patch appears, or
in the next couple days, whichever comes first.

Thanks,

Oh, yes.  That was always my intention.

Ok.  I doubt I'll have that cleanup done in the next couple of days.
It can wait until after the tag.
