Nicolas Pitre 9059a3493e kconfig: fix relational operators for bool and tristate symbols
Since commit 31847b67be ("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.

Darren Hart (VMware) b7d4ec3956 Documentation/kbuild: Add guidance for the use of default
Document the preference [1] for new CONFIG options to "default n" (or
not use default at all) in order to minimizes changes to the config,
especially to avoid "make oldconfig" growing unnecessarily from release
to release.

Document the exceptions where it is acceptable to use "default y/m" for
new CONFIG options.

Masahiro Yamada 74ce1896c6 kbuild: clean up *.dtb and *.dtb.S patterns from top-level Makefile
We need to add "clean-files" in Makfiles to clean up DT blobs, but we
often miss to do so.

Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, so we
can clean-up those files from the top-level Makefile.

Linus Torvalds 98ced886dd Kbuild thin archives updates for v4.13
Thin archives migration by Nicholas Piggin.
 
 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".
 
 With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually
 showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now.

Nicholas Piggin 3a166fc2d4 kbuild: handle libs-y archives separately from built-in.o archives
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.

Masahiro Yamada ae3f415173 kbuild: replace genhdr-y with generated-y
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 fcc8487d47 ("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.

This patch removes the need of subdir-y. Now all files/directories under
arch/<arch>/include/uapi/ are exported.

The only change for userland is the layout of the command 'make
headers_install_all': directories asm-<arch> are replaced by arch-<arch>/.
Those new directories contains all files/directories of the specified arch.

Note that only cris and tile have more directories than only asm:
 - arch-v[10|32] for cris;
 - arch for tile.

Nicolas Dichtel fcc8487d47 uapi: export all headers under uapi directories
Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.

In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
useless to have an exhaustive list.

Nicolas Pitre 237e3ad0f1 Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keyword
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.

Allow architectures to create arch/xxx/Makefile.postlink with targets
for vmlinux, modules.ko, and clean, which will be invoked after final
linking of vmlinux and modules.

powerpc will use this to check vmlinux linker relocations for sanity,

James Hogan 54b880caf1 kbuild, x86: Track generated headers with generated-y
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

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

Josh Triplett 5d2acfc7b9 kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT
"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.

When searching for symbols, return the symbols sorted by relevance.

Sorting is done as thus:
  - first, symbols that match exactly
  - then, alphabetical sort

Since the search can be a regexp, it is possible that more than one symbol
matches exactly. In this case, we can't decide which to sort first, so we
fallback to alphabeticall sort.

Explain this (new!) sorting heuristic in the documentation.

Yann E. MORIN e43956e607 kconfig: implement KCONFIG_PROBABILITY for randconfig
Currently the odds to set each symbol is (rounded):
    booleans:   y: 50%          n: 50%
    tristates:  y: 33%  m: 33%  n: 33%

Introduce a KCONFIG_PROBABILITY environment variable to tweak the
probabilities (in percentage), as such:
    KCONFIG_PROBABILITY     y:n split           yⓂ️n split
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
[1] unset or empty          50  : 50            33  : 33  : 34
[2] N                        N  : 100-N         N/2 : N/2 : 100-N
    N:M                     N+M : 100-(N+M)      N  :  M  : 100-(N+M)
    N:M:L                    N  : 100-N          M  :  L  : 100-(M+L)

[1] The current behaviour is kept as default, for backward compatibility
[2] The solution initially implemented by Peter for Buildroot, see:

Yann E. MORIN 0d8024c6eb kconfig: allow specifying the seed for randconfig
For reproducibility, it can be useful to be able to specify the
seed to use to seed the RNG.

Add a new KCONFIG_SEED environment variable which can be set to
the seed to use:
    $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
    $ sha1sum .config
    70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca  .config
    $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
    $ sha1sum .config
    70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca  .config

It's very usefull for eg. debugging the kconfig parser.

Antony Pavlov 5b83df2b46 kbuild: fix ld-option function
The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because
the command
  $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO"
does not create object file!

I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler
and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact
but the results are the same.

EXAMPLE:
  $ rm /tmp/1.o
  $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
  mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done
  $ ls -la /tmp/1.o
  ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory

We can easily fix the problem by adding
the '-x c' compiler option.

EXAMPLE:
  $ rm /tmp/1.o
  $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
  $ ls -la /tmp/1.o
  -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr  2 20:40 /tmp/1.o

Also fix wrong ld-option example.

Stephen Warren 90b335fbbc kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb rule
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.

- Only try to read the file specified if KCONFIG_ALL_CONFIG is set to
  something other than the empty string or "1".

- Don't use stat to check the name passed to conf_read_simple so that
  zconf_fopen can find the file in the current directory or in SRCTREE
  removing a extremely source of confusing failure, where KCONFIG_ALL_CONFIG
  was not interpreted with respect to the directory make was called in.

- If conf_read_simple fails complain clearly and stop processing.
  Allowing the simple debugging of typos.

- Clearly document the behavior so it is clear to users which
  values are treated as flags and which values are treated as
  filenames.

Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the
cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some
other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of
the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function
cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in
the toplevel Makefile.

Sam Ravnborg d8ecc5cd8e kbuild: asm-generic support
There is an increasing amount of header files
shared between individual architectures in asm-generic.
To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just
include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide
some basic support in kbuild for this.

With the following patch an architecture can maintain
a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild

To use a generic file just add:

        generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h>

For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary
wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm.

When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created.

The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32
patchset - although a different method is used.

The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann.
Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.

Remis Baima did an intial implementation along to achive
the same - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13352/

Borislav Petkov 4a5838ad9d kbuild: Add extra gcc checks
Add a 'W=1' Makefile switch which adds additional checking per build
object.

The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the
process of writing their code, want to do the occasional

make W=1 [target.o]

and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they
could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various
bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build
process.

For more background information and a use case, read through this
thread: http://marc.info/?l=kernel-janitors&m=129802065918147&w=2

Dirk Brandewie aab94339cd of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux
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

Asbjoern Sloth Toennesen 55f88eccf9 kbuild, deb-pkg: support overriding userland architecture
Usefull if building for sparc64 userland, because the
sparc and sparc64 userlands use the same 64-bit kernel,
making it impossible to always select the correct userland
architecture for the resulting debian package.

Might also be usefull, if you want a i386 userland with a amd64 kernel.

Example usage:
	make KBUILD_DEBARCH=i386 deb-pkg

It is now possible to assign options to AS and CC
on the command line - which is only used for built-in code.

{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL was used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
additional options to AS, CC without overriding
the original value.

Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL
that is used by arch specific files and free up
{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL so they can be assigned on
the command line.

All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.

{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile

Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by
two assignmnets.

Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
from this.

Commit 7d3cc8b tried to keep bounds.h and asm-offsets.h during make
clean by filtering these out of $(clean-files), but they are listed in
$(targets) and $(always) and thus removed automatically. Introduce a new

Michal Marek bc081dd6e9 kbuild: generate modules.builtin
To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to
distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file
listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional
config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y'
or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in
obj-Y.

Sam Ravnborg caa27b66bd kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

  0f8e2d62fa
  ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

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.

Roland McGrath 0b0bf7a3cc [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

Theodore Ts'o ac031f26e8 kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing them
Add option for stripping modules while installing them.

This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being
installed.  CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more
popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed
modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so.

Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug
information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install",
but that may not work for people who are installing directly into
/lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs
worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules,
so the "make modules_install" never succeeds.

This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the
modules as they are installed.

Sam Ravnborg 20a468b513 kbuild: make cc-version available in kbuild files
Move $(CC) support functions to Kbuild.include so they are available
in the kbuild files.
In addition the following was done:
	o as-option documented in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
	o Moved documentation to new section to match
	  new scope of functions
	o added cc-ifversion used to conditionally select a text string
	  dependent on actual $(CC) version
	o documented cc-ifversion
	o change so Kbuild.include is read before the kbuild file

Sam Ravnborg 040fcc819a kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modules
With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain
symbol information from a second external module when a
external module is build.
The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but
that may be impractical in certain cases.
With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one
external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available
for another external module.

Updated documentation in Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt

Sam Ravnborg 06300b21f4 kbuild: support building individual files for external modules
Support building individual files when dealing with separate modules.
So say you have a module named "foo" which consist of two .o files bar.o
and fun.o.

You can then do:
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` /            <= will build all .o files
                                           and link foo.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` foo.ko       <= will build the module
                                           and do the modpost step
					   to create foo.ko

The above will also work if the external module is placed in a
subdirectory using a hirachy of kbuild files.

request / bug report.

Sam Ravnborg ad14336de8 kbuild: remove GCC_VERSION
This was causing some ordering problems.  Remove the up-front evaluation
and just revaluate the compiler version each time we need it.

(The up-front evaluation was problematic because some architectures modify
the value of $(CC)).

I've attached a patch to modules.txt (from 2.6.14.2) with a "compile"
fix to a Makefile example, and some trivial spelling/grammar nits.
Please let me know if you want the patch in some other format (eg not

Sam Ravnborg 5bb7826900 kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chain
When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare

The dependency chain looks like this now:

prepare
  |
  +--> prepare0
         |
         +--> archprepare
                |
		+--> scripts_basic
                +--> prepare1
                       |
                       +---> prepare2
                               |
                               +--> prepare3

So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.

prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.

The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
