    commit 3f9cdee5929b7d035e86302dcf08fbf3e80b0739 upstream.

    Removed Kbuild documentation for INSTALL_FW_PATH.

    The kbuild symbol INSTALL_FW_PATH was removed from Kbuild tools in
    September 2017 (for 4.14) but the symbol was not deleted from
    the kbuild documentation, so do that now.

    Pull Kbuild thin archives updates from Masahiro Yamada:
    "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"

  • 3a166fc2d   kbuild: handle libs-y archives separately from built-in.o archives ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • ae3f41517   kbuild: replace genhdr-y with generated-y ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 61562f981   uapi: export all arch specifics directories ... Browse Code »

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

    The only change for userland is the layout of the command 'make
    headers_install_all': directories asm- are replaced by 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.

  • fcc8487d4   uapi: export all headers under uapi directories ... Browse Code »

    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.

    After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now
    exported (with make headers_install_all):

  • 237e3ad0f   Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keyword ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • aa8dbeee5   Documentation: headers_install.txt is part of kbuild ... Browse Code »

    'headers_install.txt' from Documentation/make/ is related to Kbuild
    so it must be moved in Documentation/kbuild/ directory.

    As Documentation/make/ directory has only one file, it will be removed
    as a consequence of moving 'headers_install.txt'.

  • 62e221079   kbuild: drop shared library support from Makefile.host ... Browse Code »

    The shared library feature in Makefile.host is no longer used.
    Rip it off to keep the build infrastucture simple.

    Update Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt too.
    The section "4.3 Definition shared libraries" should be removed
    and the following sections should be re-numbered.

  • 5d2acfc7b   kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT ... Browse Code »

    "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.
