Remove *.orig pattern from .gitignore

2024-10-04T14:38:29+00:00

commit 76be4f5a784533c71afbbb1b8f2963ef9e2ee258 upstream. Commit 3f1b0e1f2875 (".gitignore update") added *.orig and *.rej patterns to .gitignore in v2.6.23. The commit message didn't give a rationale. Later on, commit 1f5d3a6b6532 ("Remove *.rej pattern from .gitignore") removed the *.rej pattern in v2.6.26, on the rationale that *.rej files indicated something went really wrong and should not be ignored. The *.rej files are now shown by `git status`, which helps located conflicts when applying patches and lowers the probability that they will go unnoticed. It is however still easy to overlook the *.orig files which slowly polute the source tree. That's not as big of a deal as not noticing a conflict, but it's still not nice. Drop the *.orig pattern from .gitignore to avoid this and help keep the source tree clean. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart [masahiroy@kernel.org: I do not have a strong opinion about this. Perhaps some people may have a different opinion. If you are someone who wants to ignore *.orig, it is likely you would want to do so across all projects. Then, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore would be more suitable for your needs. gitignore(5) suggests, "Patterns which a user wants Git to ignore in all situations generally go into a file specified by core.excludesFile in the user's ~/.gitconfig". Please note that you cannot do the opposite; if *.orig is ignored by the project's .gitignore, you cannot override the decision because $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore has a lower priority. If *.orig is sitting on the fence, I'd leave it to the users. ] Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kbuild: add script and target to generate pacman package

2024-07-21T16:24:22+00:00

pacman is the package manager used by Arch Linux and its derivates. Creating native packages from the kernel tree has multiple advantages: * The package triggers the correct hooks for initramfs generation and bootloader configuration * Uninstallation is complete and also invokes the relevant hooks * New UAPI headers can be installed without any manual bookkeeping The PKGBUILD file is a modified version of the one used for the downstream Arch Linux "linux" package. Extra steps that should not be necessary for a development kernel have been removed and an UAPI header package has been added.

kbuild: create a list of all built DTB files

2024-02-19T09:20:39+00:00

It is useful to have a list of all *.dtb and *.dtbo files generated from the current build. With this commit, 'make dtbs' creates arch/*/boot/dts/dtbs-list, which lists the dtb(o) files created in the current build. It maintains the order of the dtb-y additions in Makefiles although the order is not important for DTBs. It is a (good) side effect through the reuse of the modules.order rule. Please note this list only includes the files directly added to dtb-y. For example, consider this case: foo-dtbs := foo_base.dtb foo_overlay.dtbo dtb-y := foo.dtb In this example, the list will include foo.dtb, but not foo_base.dtb or foo_overlay.dtbo.

Add .editorconfig file for basic formatting

2023-12-28T07:22:47+00:00

EditorConfig is a specification to define the most basic code formatting stuff, and it's supported by many editors and IDEs, either directly or via plugins, including VSCode/VSCodium, Vim, emacs and more. It allows to define formatting style related to indentation, charset, end of lines and trailing whitespaces. It also allows to apply different formats for different files based on wildcards, so for example it is possible to apply different configs to *.{c,h}, *.py and *.rs. In linux project, defining a .editorconfig might help to those people that work on different projects with different indentation styles, so they cannot define a global style. Now they will directly see the correct indentation on every fresh clone of the project.

Revert ".gitignore: ignore .cover and .mbx"

2023-07-04T22:05:12+00:00

This reverts commit 534066a983df0935847061c844eb178f8a53a9e7. It's actively detrimental in that it hides files that shouldn't be hidden. If I have some b4 mbx file in my git directory, it either was already applied with "git am" and is now stale, or maybe it's waiting for that to happen. In neither case is "ignore it" the right option. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursion

2023-06-22T12:21:06+00:00

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op. Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits: - 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option") - a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding") We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules. Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules, modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB only for symbols with sym->used==true. BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/ Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain reaction of trimming comes into play because: - CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols - CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux, but not modules If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess that is unlikely to happen.
