The 'revert' mechanism in direct-xip is similar to the one in swap mode.
It requires the trailer magic to be added to the signed image. When a
reboot happens without the image being confirmed at runtime (without the
image_ok flag being set), the bootloader considers the image faulty and
erases it. After this it will attempt to boot the previous image
instead. The images can also be made permanent (marked as confirmed in
advance) just like in swap mode.

This patch introduces the ram-load mode in addition to the other
upgrade modes (swap strategies, overwrite-only, direct-XIP). When
ram-load is enabled with the MCUBOOT_RAM_LOAD option, mcuboot
selects the newest valid image based on the image version numbers from
the image header, thereafter the selected image loaded to the RAM and
executed from there. Load address is extracted from the image header.
Therefore the images must be linked to the RAM memory region.
The ram-load mode is very similar to the direct-XIP mode, main
difference is to load the newest image to the RAM beforehand the
authentication and execution. Similar to direct-XIP mode either
of the primary and the secondary slots can hold the active image.
Ram-load can be useful in case of a bit more powerful SoC, which
is not constrained in terms of internal RAM. It could be that image
is stored in external and therefore untrusted flash. Loading image
to internal (trusted) RAM is essential from the security point
of view the system. Furthermore execution from internal RAM is much
faster than from external flash.
This patch is based on the RAM_LOADING upgrade strategy which was
first introduced in the Trusted Firmware-M project.

This patch introduces the direct execute-in-place (XIP) mode in addition
to the other upgrade modes (swap strategies, overwrite-only). When
direct-XIP is enabled with the MCUBOOT_DIRECT_XIP option, mcuboot
selects the newest valid image based on the image version numbers from
the image header, thereafter the selected image runs directly from its
flash partition (slot) instead of moving it. Therefore the images must
be linked to be executed from the given image slot. It means that in
direct-XIP mode either of the primary and the secondary slots can hold
the active image.
This patch is based on the NO_SWAP upgrade strategy which was first
introduced in the Trusted Firmware-M project.

contributors, along with an SPDX license identifier. Files that came

Hopefully, this will keep everyone happy, but allow contributors that

This patch adds the capability to handle multiple firmware images,
to update them independently. Also update the design documentation.
It separates the completion of aborted image swap operations and the
update of images even more as these should be happening at different
stages of the boot process according to the design proposal of
the multiple image support:

This patch introduces the BOOT_IMAGE_NUMBER macro and current_image
variable to support multiple updatable images and the associated

The FLASH_AREA_IMAGE_* object-like macros are replaced with
function-like ones and therefore some functions have been updated,
because the labels of a switch statement and the initialization
values of objects with static storage duration have to be constant
expressions.

This fixes#480.
When mcuboot rewrites image trailers during a swap, some information is
lost. If a reset occurs before the swap completes, mcuboot may not be
able to determine what which swap type to resume upon startup.
Specifically, if a "revert" swap gets interupted, mcuboot will perform
an extraneous swap on the subsequent boot. See
https://github.com/JuulLabs-OSS/mcuboot/issues/480 for details.
This commit adds an additional field to the image trailer: `swap-type`.
The new trailer structure is illustrated below:
```
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ MAGIC (16 octets) ~
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
```
The `swap-type` field contains one of the `BOOT_SWAP_TYPE_[...]` constants.
Every time a trailer is written, this field is written along with it.
When resuming an interrupted swap, mcuboot uses this field alone to
determine the type of swap being resumed. For new swap operations
(non-resume case), this field is not read at all; instead, mcuboot
consults the `boot_swap_tables` array to determine the swap operation to
perform (as it did prior to this commit).
Some additional changes were necessary to make all the simulated unit
tests pass:
* Before initiating a new swap operation, always write the image trailer
to the scratch area. This step allows mcuboot to persist the
`swap-type` field somewhere before erasing the trailer in the primary
slot. If a reset occurs immediately after the erase, mcuboot recovers
by using the trailer in the scratch area.
* Related to the above: if the scratch area is being used to hold status
bytes (because there are no spare sectors in the primary slot), erase
the scratch area immediately after the trailer gets written to the
primary slot. This eliminates ambiguity regarding the location of the
current trailer in case a reset occurs shortly afterwards.

This change replaces the slot 0/1 terminology with primary/secondary
slot and replaces FLASH_AREA_IMAGE_0/1 with
FLASH_AREA_IMAGE_PRIMARY/SECONDARY. This naming convention may be more
understandable, fits better to MCUs with multiple images and it is an
architecture agnostic alternative as well.
