| * kbuild: clean up *.dtb and *.dtb.S patterns from top-level MakefileMasahiro Yamada2017-11-081-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to add "clean-files" in Makfiles to clean up DT blobs, but we often miss to do so. Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, so we can clean-up those files from the top-level Makefile.

THIN_ARCHIVES has been available for a while as an optional feature only for PowerPC architecture, but we do not need two different intermediate-artifact schemes. Using thin archives instead of conventional incremental linking has various advantages: - save disk space for builds - speed-up building a little - fix some link issues (for example, allyesconfig on ARM) due to more flexibility for the final linking - work better with dead code elimination we are planning As discussed before, this migration has been done unconditionally so that any problems caused by this will show up with "git bisect". With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now" * tag 'kbuild-thinar-v4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: tile: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs x86/um: thin archives build fix tile: thin archives fix linking ia64: thin archives fix linking sh: thin archives fix linking kbuild: handle libs-y archives separately from built-in.o archives kbuild: thin archives use P option to ar kbuild: thin archives final link close --whole-archives option ia64: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile.gate tile: fix dependency and .*.cmd inclusion for incremental build sparc64: Use indirect calls in hamming weight stubs
| * kbuild: handle libs-y archives separately from built-in.o archivesNicholas Piggin2017-06-301-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The thin archives build currently puts all lib.a and built-in.o files together and links them with --whole-archive. This works because thin archives can recursively refer to thin archives. However some architectures include libgcc.a, which may not be a thin archive, or it may not be constructed with the "P" option, in which case its contents do not get linked correctly. So don't pull .a libs into the root built-in.o archive. These libs should already have symbol tables and indexes built, so they can be direct linker inputs. Move them out of the --whole-archive option, which restore the conditional linking behaviour of lib.a to thin archives builds.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, generated-y and genhdr-y had different meaning, like follows: - generated-y: generated headers (other than asm-generic wrappers) - header-y : headers to be exported - genhdr-y : generated headers to be exported (generated-y + header-y) Since commit fcc8487d477a ("uapi: export all headers under uapi directories"), headers under UAPI directories are all exported. So, there is no more difference between generated-y and genhdr-y. We see two users of genhdr-y, arch/{arm,x86}/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild. They generate some headers in arch/{arm,x86}/include/generated/uapi/asm directories, which are obviously exported. Replace them with generated-y, and abolish genhdr-y.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the need of subdir-y. Now all files/directories under arch/<arch>/include/uapi/ are exported. The only change for userland is the layout of the command 'make headers_install_all': directories asm-<arch> are replaced by arch-<arch>/. Those new directories contains all files/directories of the specified arch. Note that only cris and tile have more directories than only asm: - arch-v[10|32] for cris; - arch for tile.

This error is usually detected after the release is out. In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's useless to have an exhaustive list. After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now exported (with make headers_install_all): asm-arc/kvm_para.h asm-arc/ucontext.h asm-blackfin/shmparam.h asm-blackfin/ucontext.h asm-c6x/shmparam.h asm-c6x/ucontext.h asm-cris/kvm_para.h asm-h8300/shmparam.h asm-h8300/ucontext.h asm-hexagon/shmparam.h asm-m32r/kvm_para.h asm-m68k/kvm_para.h asm-m68k/shmparam.h asm-metag/kvm_para.h asm-metag/shmparam.h asm-metag/ucontext.h asm-mips/hwcap.h asm-mips/reg.h asm-mips/ucontext.h asm-nios2/kvm_para.h asm-nios2/ucontext.h asm-openrisc/shmparam.h asm-parisc/kvm_para.h asm-powerpc/perf_regs.h asm-sh/kvm_para.h asm-sh/ucontext.h asm-tile/shmparam.h asm-unicore32/shmparam.h asm-unicore32/ucontext.h asm-x86/hwcap2.h asm-xtensa/kvm_para.h drm/armada_drm.h drm/etnaviv_drm.h drm/vgem_drm.h linux/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.h linux/auto_dev-ioctl.h linux/bcache.h linux/btrfs_tree.h linux/can/vxcan.h linux/cifs/cifs_mount.h linux/coresight-stm.h linux/cryptouser.h linux/fsmap.h linux/genwqe/genwqe_card.h linux/hash_info.h linux/kcm.h linux/kcov.h linux/kfd_ioctl.h linux/lightnvm.h linux/module.h linux/nbd-netlink.h linux/nilfs2_api.h linux/nilfs2_ondisk.h linux/nsfs.h linux/pr.h linux/qrtr.h linux/rpmsg.h linux/sched/types.h linux/sed-opal.h linux/smc.h linux/smc_diag.h linux/stm.h linux/switchtec_ioctl.h linux/vfio_ccw.h linux/wil6210_uapi.h rdma/bnxt_re-abi.h Note that I have removed from this list the files which are generated in every exported directories (like .install or .install.cmd).

* Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keywordNicolas Pitre2016-11-161-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "imply" keyword is a weak version of "select" where the target config symbol can still be turned off, avoiding those pitfalls that come with the "select" keyword. This is useful e.g. with multiple drivers that want to indicate their ability to hook into a secondary subsystem while allowing the user to configure that subsystem out without also having to unset these drivers. Currently, the same effect can almost be achieved with: config DRIVER_A tristate config DRIVER_B tristate config DRIVER_C tristate config DRIVER_D tristate [...] config SUBSYSTEM_X tristate default DRIVER_A || DRIVER_B || DRIVER_C || DRIVER_D || [...] This is unwieldy to maintain especially with a large number of drivers. Furthermore, there is no easy way to restrict the choice for SUBSYSTEM_X to y or n, excluding m, when some drivers are built-in. The "select" keyword allows for excluding m, but it excludes n as well. Hence this "imply" keyword. The above becomes: config DRIVER_A tristate imply SUBSYSTEM_X config DRIVER_B tristate imply SUBSYSTEM_X [...] config SUBSYSTEM_X tristate This is much cleaner, and way more flexible than "select". SUBSYSTEM_X can still be configured out, and it can be set as a module when none of the drivers are configured in or all of them are modular.

* kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERTJosh Triplett2014-04-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations. Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig. This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed. However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't typically get build-tested with those disabled. To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED (which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the symbols hidden behind those.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When searching for symbols, return the symbols sorted by relevance. Sorting is done as thus: - first, symbols that match exactly - then, alphabetical sort Since the search can be a regexp, it is possible that more than one symbol matches exactly. In this case, we can't decide which to sort first, so we fallback to alphabeticall sort. Explain this (new!) sorting heuristic in the documentation.
