Create a Kconfig which indicates that EFI functionality is in use,
either as a client (EFI app / stub) or provider (EFI loader). This will
make it easier to share code between these two parts of U-Boot

The generic name 'EFI' would be more useful for common EFI features. At
present it just refers to the EFI app and stub, which is confusing.
Rename it to EFI_CLIENT

This directory was created when U-Boot gained the ability to run as an
EFI app in 2015. Since then the EFI-loader feature has been added.
The code in lib/efi is not actually used by the loader, so the name is
confusing.
Rename the directory to efi_client to indicate that it includes files
just for U-Boot being a client of EFI, i.e. the EFI app and stub.

This series from Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> largely
finishes the re-sync with the Linux Kernel v5.1 kbuild system.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627185723.342553-1-ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org

Our last sync with the kernel was 5.1. Even that was a partial one
as some patches from 4.x kernels were already missing making the
transition to a modern kbuild infeasible.
We are so out of sync now, that tracking the patches and backporting
them one by one makes little sense and it's going to take ages.
This is an attempt to sync up Makefile[.lib/.kbuild].
Unfortunately due to sheer amount of patches this is not easy to review,
but that's what we decided during a community call.
One of the biggest changes is get rid of partial linking entirely and
build .a archives isntead of .o.
We diaviate from the kernel on that. Instead of calling a custom script
to create the archive symbol table, we call ar with rcTP (isntead of
rcSTP) since we want a resulting archive that's sauble with the linker.
The only affected platforms are PPC ones. Unfortunately I don't have any
of them around to test, but the objdump of the resulting files --
arch/powerpc/lib/built-in.[oa] looks identical.

This option is very useful for A/B boot setups with read-only
filesystems: Letting U-Boot fill in the rootfs (and possibly related
parameters) allows keeping all boot parameters except the actual slot
selection in the extlinux.conf file, where they can be updated easily.

Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu@linaro.org> says:
The LMB module has a bunch for API's which are used for allocating
memory. There are a couple of API's for requesting memory, and two
more for reserving regions of memory. Replace these different API's
with a single one, lmb_alloc_mem(). The type of allocation to be made
is specified through one of the parameters to the function.
Additionally, the two API's for reserving regions of memory,
lmb_reserve() and lmb_alloc_addr() are the same with one
difference. One can reserve any memory region with lmb_reserve(),
while lmb_alloc_addr() actually checks that the memory region being
requested is part of the LMB memory map. Reserving memory that is not
part of the LMB memory map is pretty futile -- the allocation
functions do not allocate memory which has not been added to the LMB
memory map.
This series also removes the functionality allowing for reserving
memory regions outside the LMB memory map. Any request for reserving a
region of memory outside the LMB memory map now returns an -EINVAL
error.
Certain places in the common code using the LMB API's were not
checking the return value of the functions. Checks have been added for
them. There are some calls being made from the architecture/platform
specific code which too do not check the return value. Those have been
kept the same, as I do not have the platform with me to check if it
causes any issues on those platforms.
In addition, there is a patch which refactors code in
lmb_overlaps_region() and lmb_can_reserve_region() so that both
functionalities can be put in a single function, lmb_overlap_checks().
Finally, a new patch has been added which checks the return value of
the lmb allocation function before copying the device-tree to the
allocated address.

This series implements a new bootmeth for RAUC A/B systems. RAUC (Robust
Auto Update Controller) is a lightweight update client, providing "Safe
and Secure OTA Updates for Embedded Linux". See the following links for
more information about RAUC:
https://rauc.io/
https://rauc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
PHYTEC uses RAUC in its Yocto based distribution "Ampliphy" as the
default way of updating embedded devices based on PHYTEC hardware. So
far, the logic selecting the correct partitions and files to boot was
being implemented in the U-Boot environment. While this is a
straightforward way to do it, adding and supporting new platforms became
somewhat tedious and is platform-specific. The introduction of U-Boot's
"Standard Boot" provided a convincing alternative, promising a simpler
and more portable way of booting, even for RAUC systems. This led me to
implement a new bootmeth supporting RAUC A/B systems. Note, that this
new bootmeth is not proprietary to PHYTEC products and is designed to
work on other hardware with a RAUC A/B system, too.
The bootmeth currently only supports symmetric A/B partitioning layouts.
E.g. A/rescue is not (yet) supported. The partition indexes and default
slot tries can be specified via configuration options.
For now, the bootmeth_rauc uses a similar approach for loading the
Kernel and device tree as the bootmeth_script, in that it requires a FIT
containing a U-Boot script loading the desired distro. It could be
possible to support booting without a script and load the Kernel and DT
directly with this bootmeth, but I found the script method to be very
flexible for now, in letting the distro decide what to load.
The bootmeth_rauc was tested on a phyBOARD-Pollux i.MX8M Plus [1] with
BSP-Yocto-Ampliphy-i.MX8MP-PD24.1.2 [2].
Supported boot devices are currently only MMC devices, but it should be
possible to add SPI flashes in the future.
To test this patch stack with PHYTEC's phyBOARD-Pollux i.MX8M Plus
board, you need to adjust the boot files to include the boot.scr.uimg
containing the distro's boot script and set "optargs" to "${raucargs}"
in it. Also disable any legacyboot in the U-Boot environment and simply
boot with Standard Boot:
bootmeth order rauc
bootflow scan -lb

Alignment is not yet implemented for images. It has no meaning for

Describe the new subcommands and how they should be used in a normal
workflow.
Note that the naming of branches is very rigid, or 'opinionated' in
marketing terms. Patman can track a single branch for each version of a
series and they must all be named the same, except for the
version-number suffix. Version 1 series have no suffix.
This description is fairly bare-bones but should be enough for some
initial testing and comments.

Using some form of sandbox with Python modules is a long standing best
practice with the language. There are a number of ways to have a Python
sandbox be created. At this point in time, it seems the Python community
is moving towards using the "venv" module provided with Python rather
than a separate tool. To match that we make the following changes:
- Refer to a "Python sandbox" rather than virtualenv in comments, etc.
- Install the python3-venv module in our container and not virtualenv.
- In our CI files, invoke "python -m venv" rather than "virtualenv".
- In documentation, tell users to install python3-venv and not
virtualenv.
