      kbuild: always run gcc -E on *.dts, remove cmd_dtc_cpp · b40b25ff
      Stephen Warren 提交于
      Replace cmd_dtc with cmd_dtc_cpp, and delete the latter.
      
      Previously, a special file extension (.dtsp) was required to trigger
      the C pre-processor to run on device tree files. This was ugly. Now that
      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
      use /include/ or #include syntax to include *.dtsi.

      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.

      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
      separate directories.

      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.

      lack of this feature recently caused me to have very confusing "git
      bisect" results.
      
      For ARM, it's obvious what to add to $(targets). I'm not familiar enough
      with other architectures to know what to add there. Powerpc appears to
      already add various .dtb files into $(targets), but the other archs may
      need something added to $(targets) to work.

      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.

      of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux · aab94339
      Dirk Brandewie 提交于
      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

      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

      The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in

      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.

      Impact: Bug fix
      
      If bzip2 or lzma fails (for example, if they aren't installed on the

      they were masked by being followed by a semicolon.

      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

      driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages · 346e15be
      Jason Baron 提交于
      Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.
      
      I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
      control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
      currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
      is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
      defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
      affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.
      
      The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
      is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
      can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.
      
      Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define 
      their own debug levels and flags.
      
      Usage:
      
      Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 
      <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
      can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:
      
      	<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
      		.
      		.
      		.
      
      	<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
      	<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not
      
      For example:
      
      	snd_hda_intel enabled=0
      	fixup enabled=1
      	driver enabled=0
      
      Enable a module:
      
      	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
      
      Disable a module:
      
      	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
      
      Enable all modules:
      
      	$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
      
      Disable all modules:
      
      	$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
      
      Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
      debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
      disable command.

      kbuild: create new CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o option · 656ee82c
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      We currently have a way to add special CFLAGS to code, but we do not have a
      way to remove them if needed.
      
      With the case of ftrace, some files should simply not be profiled. Adding
      the -pg flag to these files is simply a waste, and adding "notrace" to each
      and every function is ugly.
      
      Currently we put in "Makefile turd" [1] to stop the compiler from adding -pg
      to certain files. This was clumsy and awkward.
      
      This patch now adds the revese of CFLAGS_(basename).o with
      CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o.  This allows developers to prevent certain
      CFLAGS from being used to compile files. For example, we can now do
      
      CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg
      
      to remove the -pg option from the string.o file in the lib directory.
      
      Note: a space delimited list of options may be added to the REMOVE macro.

      kbuild: implement modules.order · 551559e1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
      capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
      listed in Makefile.  This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
      modules.
      
      When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
      modules.alias file is selected.  However, the order in this file is
      indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
      modules).  This causes confusion.
      
      The solution is two-parted.  This patch updates kbuild such that it
      generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
      modules ordered according to Makefile.  The second part is update to
      depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.
      
      Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
      ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
      Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.
      
      Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
      to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
      C program.

      kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y · f77bf014
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can
      deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
      This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round.
      Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
      soon to be deprecated variants next.
      
      The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
      makefile fragments like:
      
      ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG
      
      As a replacement for the uglier:
      ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
              EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
