When writing to files in a filesystem on MMC, dfu_mmc.c buffers up the
entire file content until the end of the transaction, at which point the
file is written in one go. This allows writing files larger than the USB
transfer size (CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE); the maximum written file
size is CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE (the size of the temporary buffer).
The current file reading code does not do any buffering, and so limits
the maximum read file size to the USB transfer size. Enhance the code to
do the same kind of buffering as the write path, so the same file size
limits apply.
Remove the size checking code from dfu_read() since all read paths now
support larger files than the USB transfer buffer.

DFU currently allocates buffer memory at the start of each data transfer
operation and frees it at the end. Especially since memalign() is used to
allocate the buffer, and various other allocations happen during the
transfer, this can expose the code to heap fragmentation, which prevents
the allocation from succeeding on subsequent transfers.
Fix the code to allocate the buffer once when DFU mode is initialized,
and free the buffer once when DFU mode is exited, to reduce the exposure
to heap fragmentation.
The failure mode is:
// Internally to memalign(), this allocates a lot more than s to guarantee
// that alignment can occur, then returns chunks of memory at the start/
// end of the allocated buffer to the heap.
p = memalign(a, s);
// Various other malloc()s occur here, some of which allocate the RAM
// immediately before/after "p".
//
// DFU transfer is complete, so buffer is released.
free(p);
// By chance, no other malloc()/free() here, in DFU at least.
//
// A new DFU transfer starts, so the buffer is allocated again.
// In theory this should succeed since we just free()d a buffer of the
// same size. However, this fails because memalign() internally attempts
// to allocate much more than "s", yet free(p) above only free()d a
// little more than "s".
p = memalign(a, s);

After extension of the dfu_get_buf() to also setup (implicitly) the dfu_buf_size
variable it is not needed to set dfu_buf_size to CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE.
This variable is set in the dfu_get_buf() by not only considering
CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF but more importantly the "dfu_bufsiz" env variable.
Therefore, dfu_get_buf() should be used for initialization.

For writing files, DFU implementation requires the file buffer
with the len at least of file size. For big files it requires
the same big buffer.
Previously the file buffer was allocated as a static variable,
so it was a part of U-Boot .bss section. For 32MiB len of buffer
we have 32MiB of additional space, required for this section.
The .bss needs to be cleared after the relocation.
This introduces an additional boot delay at every start, but usually
the dfu feature is not required at the standard boot, so the buffer
should be allocated only if required.
This patch removes the static allocation of this buffer,
and alloc it with memalign after first call of function:
- dfu_fill_entity_mmc()
and the buffer is freed on dfu_free_entity() call.
This was tested on Trats2.
A quick test with trace. Boot time from start to main_loop() entry:
- ~888ms - before this change (arch memset enabled for .bss clear)
- ~464ms - after this change

In function dfu_get_buf(), the size of allocated buffer could
be defined by the env variable. The size from this variable
was passed for memalign() without checking its value.
And the the memalign will return non null pointer for size 0.
This could possibly cause data abort, so now the value of var
is checked before use. And if this variable is set to 0 then
the default size will be used.
This commit also changes the base passed to simple_strtoul()
to 0. Now decimal and hex values can be used for the variable
dfu_bufsiz.

macros synced with the kernel introducing type checks.
Many of references of those macros must be fixed to suppress warnings.

- Use min, max, min3, max3 only when the arguments have the same type
(or add casts to the arguments)
- Use min_t/max_t instead with the appropriate type for the first

This commit provides distinction between DFU device detach and reset.
The -R behavior is preserved with proper handling of the dfu-util's -e
switch, which detach the DFU device.
By running dfu-util -e; one can force device to finish the execution of
dfu command on target and execute some other scripted commands.
Moreover, some naming has been changed - the dfu_reset() method now is known
as dfu_detach(). New name better reflects the purpose of the code.
It was also necessary to increase the number of usb_gadget_handle_interrupts()
calls since we also must wait for detection of the USB reset event.
Example usage:
1. -e (detach) switch
dfu-util -a0 -D file1.bin;dfu-util -a3 -D uImage;dfu-util -e
access to u-boot prompt.
2. -R (reset) switch
dfu-util -a0 -D file1.bin;dfu-util -R -a3 -D uImage
target board reset

CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE may be large to allow for FAT/ext layouts
to transfer large files. However, this means that individual write
operations will take a long time. Allow backends to specify a maximum
buffer size, so that each write operation is limited to a smaller data
block. This prevents the DFU protocol from timing out when e.g. writing
to SPI flash. I would guess that NAND might benefit from setting this
value too, but I can't test that.

Devices are not all identified by a single integer. To support
this, defer the parsing of the device string to the IO backed, so that
it can apply the appropriate rules.
SPI devices are specified as controller:chip_select. SPI/SF support will
be added soon.
MMC devices can also be specified as controller[.hwpart][:partition] in
many commands, although we don't support that syntax in DFU.

Fix calls to dfu_write() and dfu_flush() to detect errors in the I/O
itself. This could happen due to problems with the storage medium, or
simply when trying to write a FAT/ext file that is larger than the buffer
dfu_mmc.c maintains for this purpose.
Signal the error by switching the DFU state/status. This will be picked
up by the DFU client when it sends the next DFU request. Note that errors
can't simply be returned from e.g. dnload_request_complete(), since that
function has no way to pass errors back to the DFU client; a call to
dnload_request_complete() simply means that a USB OUT completed.
This error state/status needs to be cleared when the next DFU client
connects. While there is a DFU_CLRSTATUS request, no DFU client seems to
send this. Hence, clear this when selecting the USB alternate setting on
the USB interface.
Finally, dfu.c relies on a call to dfu_flush() to clear up the internal
state of the write transaction. Now that errors in dfu_write() are
detected, dfu_flush() may no longer be called for every transaction.
Separate out the cleanup code into a new function, and call it whenever
dfu_write() fails, as well as from any call to dfu_flush().

DFU read support appears to rely upon dfu->read_medium() updating the
passed-by-reference len parameter to indicate the remaining size
available for reading.
dfu_read_medium_mmc() never does this, and the implementation of
dfu_read_medium_nand() will only work if called just once; it hard-codes
the value to the total size of the NAND device irrespective of read
offset.
I believe that overloading dfu->read_medium() is confusing. As such,
this patch introduces a new function dfu->get_medium_size() which can
be used to explicitly find out the medium size, and nothing else.
dfu_read() is modified to use this function to set the initial value for
dfu->r_left, rather than attempting to use the side-effects of
dfu->read_medium() for this purpose.
Due to this change, dfu_read() must initially set dfu->b_left to 0, since
no data has been read.
dfu_read_buffer_fill() must also be modified not to adjust dfu->r_left
when simply copying data from dfu->i_buf_start to the upload request
buffer. r_left represents the amount of data left to be read from HW.
That value is not affected by the memcpy(), but only by calls to
dfu->read_medium().
After this change, I can read from either a 4MB or 1.5MB chunk of a 4MB
eMMC boot partion with CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE==1MB. Without this
change, attempting to do that would result in DFU read returning no data
at all due to r_left never being set.

The standard crc32 implementation causes long delay when large images

It can be done without the need to recompile the u-boot binary.
By default the crc32 is calculated, which means that legacy behavior

Before dfu write and flush operations separation,
dfu write data was flushed by host download request
with len of zero size.
Since above change manually calling dfu write with zero
size has non sense (e.g. in THOR). This should be done by

So now dfu_write_buffer_drain() is called in dfu_flush().

state(7) = dfuMANIFEST, status(0) = No error condition is present

So do the following changes to prevent this:
- introduce dfuManifest state
According to dfu specification
( http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/usbdfu10.pdf ) section 7:
"the device enters the dfuMANIFEST-SYNC state and awaits the solicitation
of the status report by the host. Upon receipt of the anticipated
DFU_GETSTATUS, the device enters the dfuMANIFEST state, where it
completes its reprogramming operations."
- when stepping into dfuManifest state, sending a PollTimeout
DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT in ms, to the host, so the host
(dfu-util) waits the PollTimeout before sending a get_status again.

DFU spec mentions it as a method to upgrade firmware (software stored
in writable non-volatile memory). It also says other potential uses of
DFU is beyond scope of the spec.
Here such a beyond the scope use is being attempted - directly pumping
binary images from host via USB to RAM. This facility is a developer
centric one in that it gives advantage over upgrading non-volatile
memory for testing new images every time during development and/or
testing.
Directly putting image onto RAM would speed up upgrade process. This and
convenience was the initial thoughts that led to doing this, speed
improvement over MMC was only 1 second though - 6 sec on RAM as opposed
to 7 sec on MMC in beagle bone, perhaps enabling cache and/or optimizing
DFU framework to avoid multiple copy for ram (if worth) may help, and
on other platforms and other boot media like NAND maybe improvement
would be higher.
And for a platform that doesn't yet have proper DFU suppport for
non-volatile media's, DFU to RAM can be used.
Another minor advantage would be to increase life of mmc/nand as it
would be less used during development/testing.
usage: <image name> ram <start address> <size>
eg. kernel ram 0x81000000 0x1000000
Downloading images to RAM using DFU is not something new, this is
acheived in openmoko also.
DFU on RAM can be used for extracting RAM contents to host using dfu
upload. Perhaps this can be extended to io for squeezing out register
dump through usb, if it is worth.
