* kbuild: document recursive dependency limitation / resolutionLuis R. Rodriguez2015-10-084-0/+314
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recursive dependency issues with kconfig are unavoidable due to some limitations with kconfig, since these issues are recurring provide a hint to the user how they can resolve these dependency issues and also document why such limitation exists. While at it also document a bit of future prospects of ways to enhance Kconfig, including providing formal semantics and evaluation of use of a SAT solver. If you're interested in this work or prospects of it check out the kconfig-sat project wiki [0] and mailing list [1].

* modsign: Allow password to be specified for signing keyDavid Woodhouse2015-08-071-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | We don't want this in the Kconfig since it might then get exposed in /proc/config.gz. So make it a parameter to Kbuild instead. This also means we don't have to jump through hoops to strip quotes from it, as we would if it was a config option.

* kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flagsMichal Marek2015-07-061-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS variables.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The header install makefile creates an 'include' directory inside INSTALL_HDR_PATH and appending include to the path results in headers being installed to include/include.

* 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.

I suggest changing the documentation accordingly.

* / kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb ruleStephen Warren2012-11-301-7/+8
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches. MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle. Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.
