| * kconfig: rename silentoldconfig to syncconfigMasahiro Yamada2018-03-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As commit cedd55d49dee ("kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help") mentioned, 'silentoldconfig' is a historical misnomer. That commit removed it from help and docs since it is an internal interface. If so, it should be allowed to rename it to something more intuitive. 'syncconfig' is the one I came up with because it updates the .config if necessary, then synchronize include/generated/autoconf.h and include/config/* with it. You should not manually invoke 'silentoldcofig'. Display warning if used in case existing scripts are doing wrong.

* | kbuild: remove internally used LDFLAGS_vmlinux from kbuild.txtMasahiro Yamada2018-03-251-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt lists variables used in Makefile whereas Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt describes user assignable parameters given via environments or the command line. The top Makefile and arch/*/Makefile accumulate proper linker flags to LDFLAGS_vmlinux. So, users can not override it from the command line. Generally, per-file options are not supposed to be user-assignable. Remove the misleading entry from kbuild.txt. If we need a way to append user-specific flags for linking the kernel, LDFLAGS_KERNEL would be a consistent choice because we already expose LDFLAGS_MODULE counter-part to users.

LDFLAGS_MODULE is a command line interface, so it should be dropped from makefiles.txt. Some lines below in this file, it is clearly explained that KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE is the right one for the internal use: KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE Options for $(LD) when linking modules $(KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE) is used to add arch-specific options used when linking modules. This is often a linker script. From commandline LDFLAGS_MODULE shall be used (see kbuild.txt).

* | kconfig: fix relational operators for bool and tristate symbolsNicolas Pitre2018-01-051-8/+15
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 31847b67bec0 ("kconfig: allow use of relations other than (in)equality") it is possible to use relational operators in Kconfig statements. However, those operators give unexpected results when applied to bool/tristate values: (n < y) = y (correct) (m < y) = y (correct) (n < m) = n (wrong) This happens because relational operators process bool and tristate symbols as strings and m sorts before n. It makes little sense to do a lexicographical compare on bool and tristate values though. Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt states that expression can have a value of 'n', 'm' or 'y' (or 0, 1, 2 respectively for calculations). Let's make it so for relational comparisons with bool/tristate expressions as well and document them. If at least one symbol is an actual string then the lexicographical compare works just as before.

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".

| * 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.

* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Track generated header files which aren't already in genhdr-y, alongside generic-y wrappers in the */include/generated/[uapi/]asm/ directories. Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen hypercalls. This will allow the asm-generic wrapper handling code to remove stale wrappers when files are removed from generic-y, without also removing these headers which are generated separately.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERTJosh Triplett2014-04-081-0/+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.
