2013-07-03kbuild: create directory for dir/file.o张忠山
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: ...

2013-05-23kbuild: Don't assume dts files live in arch/*/boot/dtsMatthijs Kooijman
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.

2013-04-05kbuild: always run gcc -E on *.dts, remove cmd_dtc_cppStephen Warren
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.

2013-04-05kbuild: cmd_dtc_cpp: extract deps from both gcc -E and dtcStephen Warren
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.

2013-04-05kbuild: create an "include chroot" for DT bindingsStephen Warren
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.

2013-03-15CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.Rusty Russell
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.

2013-02-13kbuild: limit dtc+cpp include pathStephen Warren
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.

2012-11-30kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb ruleStephen Warren
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.

I'm not familiar enough with other architectures to know what to add there.

2011-01-13decompressors: add XZ decompressor moduleLasse Collin
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. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

2010-12-23of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinuxDirk Brandewie
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 Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: cleaned up whitespace inconsistencies] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

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.

2010-01-11lib: add support for LZO-compressed kernelsAlbin Tonnerre
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 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Tested-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Acked-by: "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).

2009-12-12kbuild: fix bzImage build for x86Michael Tokarev
As has been discussed previously (and Sam has been CC'ed), the fix is still incorrect. It replaces "echo -ne" with "/bin/echo -ne", but neither of the two are guaranteed to support the necessary arguments and necessary (hexadecimal) escape sequences. What should be used here is printf(1). The trivial patch below (on top of these kbuild changes) fixes this issue.

2009-10-11kbuild: Fix size_append issue for bzip2/lzma kernelAlek Du
The Makefile.lib will call "echo -ne" to append uncompressed kernel size to bzip2/lzma kernel image. The "echo" here depends on the shell that /bin/sh pointing to. On Ubuntu system, the /bin/sh is pointing to dash, which does not support "echo -e" at all. Use /bin/echo instead of shell echo should always be safe.

2009-06-18gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructurePeter Oberparleiter
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).

2009-05-08kbuild: allow compressors (gzip, bzip2, lzma) to take multiple inputsH. Peter Anvin
Allow the compression commands in Kbuild (i.e. gzip, bzip2, lzma) to take multiple input files and emit the concatenated compressed output. This avoids an intermediate step when a kernel image is built from multiple components, such as the relocatable x86-32 kernel. Sam Ravnborg integrated the bin_size script into the Makefile.

2009-04-19kbuild: introduce subdir-ccflags-ySam Ravnborg
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.

2009-03-24dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron
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: 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 Signed-off-by: Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> Signed-off-by: H.

2008-10-16driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messagesJason Baron
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.

2008-05-23kbuild: create new CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o optionSteven Rostedt
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.

2008-01-28kbuild: implement modules.orderTejun Heo
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.
