      kbuild: dtbs_install: new make target · f4d4ffc0
      Jason Cooper 提交于
      Unlike other build products in the Linux kernel, there is no 'make
      *install' mechanism to put devicetree blobs in a standard place.
      
      This commit adds a new 'dtbs_install' make target which copies all of
      the dtbs into the INSTALL_DTBS_PATH directory. INSTALL_DTBS_PATH can be
      set before calling make to change the default install directory. If not
      set then it defaults to:
      
      	$INSTALL_PATH/dtbs/$KERNELRELEASE.
      
      This is done to keep dtbs from different kernel versions separate until
      things have settled down.  Once the dtbs are stable, and not so strongly
      linked to the kernel version, the devicetree files will most likely move
      to their own repo.  Users will need to upgrade install scripts at that
      time.
      
      v7: (reworked by Grant Likely)
      - Moved rules from arch/arm/Makefile to arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile so
        that each dtb install could have a separate target and be reported as
        part of the make output.
      - Fixed dependency problem to ensure $KERNELRELEASE is calculated before
        attempting to install
      - Removed option to call external script. Copying the files should be
        sufficient and a build system can post-process the install directory.
        Despite the fact an external script is used for installing the kernel,
        I don't think that is a pattern that should be encouraged. I would
        rather see buildroot type tools post process the install directory to
        rename or move dtb files after installing to a staging directory.
        - Plus it is easy to add a hook after the fact without blocking the
          rest of this feature.
      - Move the helper targets into scripts/Makefile.lib with the rest of the
        common dtb rules

      of: Move testcase FDT data into drivers/of · b5190516
      Grant Likely 提交于
      The testcase data is usable by any platform. This patch moves it into
      the drivers/of directory so it can be included by any architecture.
      
      Using the test cases requires manually adding #include <testcases.dtsi>
      to the end of the boards .dtsi file and enabling CONFIG_OF_SELFTEST. Not
      pretty though. A useful project would be to make the testcase code
      easier to execute.

    • kbuild: create directory for dir/file.o · 4d47dde4
      张忠山 提交于
      When add a obj with dir to obj-y, like this
      
          obj-y += dir/file.o
      
      The $(obj)/dir not created, this patch fix this.
      
      When try to add a file(which in a subdir) to my board's obj-y, the build
      progress crashed.
      
      For example, I use at91rm9200ek board, and in kernel dir run:
      
        mkdir objtree
        make O=objtree at91rm9200_defconfig
        mkdir arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
        touch arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c
      
      and edit arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c to add some code.
      then edit arch/arm/mach-at91/Makefile, change the following line:
      
        obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o
      
      to:
      
        obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o dir/file.o
      
      Now build it:
      
        make O=objtree
      
      Then the error appears:
        ...
        CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/board-rm9200dk.o

          fatal error: opening dependency file
          arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/.file.o.d: No such file or directory
      
      Check the objtree:
        LANG=en ls objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
        ls: cannot access objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir: No such file or directory
      
      It's apparently that the target dir not created for file.o
      
      Check kbuild source code. It seems that kbuild create dirs for that in
      $(obj-dirs).  But if the dir need not to create a built-in.o, It should
      never in  $(obj-dirs).
      
      So I make this patch to make sure It in  $(obj-dirs)

      kbuild: Don't assume dts files live in arch/*/boot/dts · ad061568
      Matthijs Kooijman 提交于
      In commit b40b25ff (kbuild: always run gcc -E on *.dts, remove cmd_dtc_cpp),
      dts building was changed to always use the C preprocessor. This meant
      that the .dts file passed to dtc is not the original, but the
      preprocessed one.
      
      When compiling with a separate build directory (i.e., with O=), this
      preprocessed file will not live in the same directory as the original.
      When the .dts file includes .dtsi files, dtc will look for them in the
      build directory, not in the source directory and compilation will fail.
      
      The commit referenced above tried to fix this by passing arch/*/boot/dts
      as an include path to dtc. However, for mips, the .dts files are not in
      this directory, so dts compilation on mips breaks for some targets.
      
      Instead of hardcoding this particular include path, this commit just
      uses the directory of the .dts file that is being compiled, which
      effectively restores the previous behaviour wrt includes. For most .dts
      files, this path is just the same as the previous hardcoded
      arch/*/boot/dts path.
      
      This was tested on a mips (rt3052) and an arm (bcm2835) target.

      Previously, a special file extension (.dtsp) was required to trigger

      previous changes have enhanced cmd_dtc_cpp to collect dependency
      information from both gcc -E and dtc, we can transparently run the pre-
      processor on all device tree files, irrespective of whether they

      kbuild: cmd_dtc_cpp: extract deps from both gcc -E and dtc · 85f02be8
      Stephen Warren 提交于
      Prior to this change, when compiling *.dts to *.dtb, the dependency
      output from dtc would be used, and when compiling *.dtsp to *.dtb, the
      dependency output from gcc -E alone would be used, despite dtc also
      being invoked (on a temporary file that was guaranteed to have no
      dependencies).
      
      With this change, when compiling *.dtsp to *.dtb, the dependency files
      from both gcc -E and dtc are used. This will allow cmd_dtc_cpp to
      replace cmd_dtc in a future change. In turn, that will allow the C pre-
      processor to be run transparently on *.dts, without the need to a
      separate rule or file extension to trigger it.

      kbuild: create an "include chroot" for DT bindings · c58299aa
      Stephen Warren 提交于
      The recent dtc+cpp support allows header files and C pre-processor
      defines/macros to be used when compiling device tree files. These
      headers will typically define various constants that are part of the
      device tree bindings.
      
      The original patch which set up the dtc+cpp include path only considered
      using those headers from device tree files. However, most are also
      useful for kernel code which needs to interpret the device tree.
      
      In both the DT files and the kernel, I'd like to include the DT-related
      headers in the same way, for example, <dt-bindings/gpio/tegra-gpio.h>.
      That will simplify any text which discusses the DT header locations.
      
      Creating a <dt-bindings/> for kernel source to use is as simple as
      placing files into include/dt-bindings/.
      
      However, when compiling DT files, the include path should be restricted
      so that only the dt-bindings path is available; arbitrary kernel headers
      shouldn't be exposed. For this reason, create a specific include
      directory for use by dtc+cpp, and symlink dt-bindings from there to the
      actual location of include/dt-bindings/. For want of a better location,
      place this "include chroot" into the existing dts/ directory.
      
      arch/*/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings -> ../../../../../include/dt-bindings
      
      Some headers used by device tree files may not be useful to the kernel;
      they may be used simply to aid in constructing the DT file (e.g. macros
      to create a node), but not define any information that the kernel needs
      to share. These may be placed directly into arch/*/boot/dts/ along with
      the DT files themselves.

      CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup. · b92021b0
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
      "_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
      SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
      do so.
      
      Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
      prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
      defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:
      
      1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
      3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
      5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
      6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
      7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
         CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
         for pasting.
      
      (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).
      
      Let's solve this properly:
      1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
      3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
      4) Make everyone use them.

      kbuild: limit dtc+cpp include path · e570d7c1
      Stephen Warren 提交于
      Device tree source files may now include header files. The intent is
      that those header files define/name constants used as part of the DT
      bindings. Currently this feature is open to abuse, since any kernel
      header file at all can be included, This could allow device tree files
      to become dependant on kernel headers files, and thus make them no
      longer OS-independent. This would also prevent separating the device
      tree source files from the kernel repository.
      
      Solve this by limiting the cpp include path for device tree files to

      kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb rule · 90b335fb
      Stephen Warren 提交于
      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.

      decompressors: add XZ decompressor module · 24fa0402
      Lasse Collin 提交于
      In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that
      got superseded by the .xz format.  Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by
      XZ Utils.
      
      These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel.  Most of
      the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>.
      It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too.
      
      Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel:
        - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's
          not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.
        - Integrity check support (CRC32)
        - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on
          certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can
          produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images
          than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower.
      
      This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module
      (xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool,
      and documentation.  The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ
      decompressor e.g.  for Squashfs.

      This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into
      vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking
      .dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt
      driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location
      before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image.
      
      Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to
      compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to
      wrap the blobs for linking.
      
      STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to
      create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib.  The
      STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the
      STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition.
      
      The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob
      with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob
      to get the structure alignment GCC expects.
      
      A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to
      be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using
         obj-y += foo.dtb.o

      x86: Add optimized popcnt variants · d61931d8
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
      popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
      0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
      default lib/hweight.c sw versions.
      
      A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
      a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

      kbuild: really fix bzImage build with non-bash sh · 1373411a
      Jonathan Nieder 提交于
      In an x86 build with CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA enabled and dash as sh,
      arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma ends with
      '\xf0\x7d\x39\x00' (16 bytes) instead of the 4 bytes intended and
      the resulting vmlinuz fails to boot.  This improves on the
      previous behavior, in which the file contained the characters
      '-ne ' as well, but not by much.
      
      Previous commits replaced "echo -ne" first with "/bin/echo -ne",
      then "printf" in the hope of improving portability, but none of
      these commands is guaranteed to support hexadecimal escapes on
      POSIX systems.  So use the shell to convert from hexadecimal to
      octal.
      
      With this change, an LZMA-compressed kernel built with dash as sh
      boots correctly again.

      lib: add support for LZO-compressed kernels · 7dd65feb
      Albin Tonnerre 提交于
      This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
      LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
      the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
      LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.
      
      Russell King said:
      
      : Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
      : - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
      : - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
      :
      : which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
      :
      : However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
      : - new is 99% of the size of the old code
      : - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
      :
      : What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
      : - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
      : - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
      :
      : So the expense seems definitely worth the effort.  The only reason I
      : can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
      : compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
      :
      : I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.
      
      This patch:
      
      The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
      extraction.  Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:
      
      Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
      gzip  1.61Mo 0.72s
      lzo   1.75Mo 0.48s
      
      So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
      much faster to extract, at least in that case.
      
      This part contains:
       - Makefile routine to support lzo compression
       - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
         compressed kernels
       - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
         block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
       - config dialog for kernel compression

      module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG option · 9e1b9b80
      Alan Jenkins 提交于
      The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
      .tmp_exports-asm.S.  Currently it is mixed in with C structure
      definitions in "asm/module.h".  Move the definition of this arch option
      into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.
      
      This also lets modpost.c use the same definition.  Previously modpost
      relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.
      
      A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
      showed the generated code was unchanged.  vmlinux was identical save
      for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
      symbol in the kallsyms data).

      gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure · 2521f2c2
      Peter Oberparleiter 提交于
      Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
      kernel.  gcov may be useful for:
      
       * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
       * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
       * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
         associated code is never run?)
      
      The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
      
       * change kbuild to include profiling flags
       * provide functions needed by profiling code
       * present profiling data as files in debugfs
      
      Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
      "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
      run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
      others which require adjustment of architecture code.
      
      For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
      to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
      This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
      and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
      or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
      text).

      kbuild: introduce subdir-ccflags-y · 720097d8
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Following patch introduce support for setting options
      to gcc that has effect for current directory and all
      subdirectories.
      
      The typical use case are an architecture or a subsystem that
      decide to cover all files with -Werror.
      Today alpha, mips and sparc uses -Werror in almost all their
      Makefile- with subdir-ccflag-y it is now simpler to do so
      as only the top-level directories needs to be covered.
      
      Likewise if we decide to cover a full subsystem such
      as net/ with -Werror this is done by adding a single
      line to net/Makefile.

      dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk · e9d376f0
      Jason Baron 提交于
      This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
      printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
      
      The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
      (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
      control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
      file, module, format string, and line number.
      
      for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
      
      echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
      
      to disable them:
      
      echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
      
      A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

      bzip2/lzma: library support for gzip, bzip2 and lzma decompression · bc22c17e
      Alain Knaff 提交于
      Impact: Replaces inflate.c with a wrapper around zlib_inflate; new library code
      
      This is the first part of the bzip2/lzma patch
      
      The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for
      compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both
      compressors give smaller sizes than gzip.  Lzma's decompresses faster
      than bzip2.
      
      It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two
      compressors.
      
      The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by
      the udpcast project
      
      This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28
      
      This part contains:
      - changed inflate.c to accomodate rest of patch
      - implementation of bzip2 compression (not used at this stage yet)
      - implementation of lzma compression (not used at this stage yet)
      - Makefile routines to support bzip2 and lzma kernel compression
