kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory

2024-05-09T19:34:52+00:00

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined in scripts/Makefile.build: src := $(obj) When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically passed to the compiler. This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter. To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of $(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree. Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following meanings: $(obj) - directory in the object tree $(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit) $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced with $(src).

ARM: remove obsolete Makefile.boot infrastructure

2022-08-18T14:44:59+00:00

There are a number of old Makefile.boot files that remain from the multiplatform conversion, and three that are still in use. These provide the "ZRELADDR", "PARAMS_PHYS" and "INITRD_PHYS" values that are platform specific. It turns out that we can generally just derive this from information that is available elsewhere: - ZRELADDR is normally detected at runtime with the CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR flag, but also needed to be passed to for 'make uImage'. In a multiplatform kernel, one always has to pass this as the $(LOADADDR) variable, but in the StrongARM kernels we can derive it from the sum of $(CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET) and $(TEXT_OFFSET) that are already known. - PARAMS_PHYS and INITRD_PHYS are only used for bootpImage, which in turn is only used for the pre-ATAGS 'param_struct' based boot interface on StrongARM based machines with old boot loaders. They can both be derived from CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET and a machine specific offset for the initrd, so all of the logic for these can be part of arch/arm/boot/bootp/Makefile. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

ARM: 9102/1: move theinstall rules to arch/arm/Makefile

2021-08-10T11:16:07+00:00

Currently, the (z/u)install targets in arch/arm/Makefile descend into arch/arm/boot/Makefile to invoke the shell script, but there is no good reason to do so. arch/arm/Makefile can run the shell script directly. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle)

kbuild: remove redundant target cleaning on failure

ARM: XIP kernel: store .data compressed in ROM

2017-09-10T23:34:53+00:00

The .data segment stored in ROM is only copied to RAM once at boot time and never referenced afterwards. This is arguably a suboptimal usage of ROM resources. This patch allows for compressing the .data segment before storing it into ROM and decompressing it to RAM rather than simply copying it, saving on precious ROM space. Because global data is not available yet (obviously) we must allocate decompressor workspace memory on the stack. The .bss area is used as a stack area for that purpose before it is cleared. The required stack frame is 9568 bytes for __inflate_kernel_data() alone, so make sure the .bss is large enough to cope with that plus extra room for called functions or fail the build. Those numbers were picked arbitrarily based on the above 9568 byte stack frame: 10240 (2.5 * PAGE_SIZE): used to override -Wframe-larger-than whose default value is 1024. 12288 (3 * PAGE_SIZE): minimum .bss size to contain the stack.

ARM: 8588/1: localise objcopy flags

2016-08-12T15:47:01+00:00

We currently define OBJCOPYFLAGS in the top-level arm Makefile, and thus these flags will be passed to all uses of objcopy, kernel-wide, for which they are not explicitly overridden. The flags we set are intended for converting a few ELF files into raw binaries, and thus the flags chosen are problematic for some other uses which do not expect a raw binary result, e.g. the upcoming lkdtm rodata test: http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2016/06/08/2 This patch localises the objcopy flags such that they are only used for the cases we require them for today.

ARM: 8576/1: avoid duplicating "Kernel: arch/arm/boot/*Image is ready"

2016-06-22T18:55:12+00:00

Commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images") fixed bad image generation for the parallel building, but as its side effect, Kbuild now descends into arch/arm/boot/ again and again, duplicating the log messages. It looks clumsy, so let's display the same message only once. This commit moves the log rules from arch/arm/boot/Makefile to arch/arm/Makefile. I did not delete them completely because *Image are the final targets that users are interested in. Without this commit, the log of incremental build is like follows: $ make ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x80208000 uImage CHK include/config/kernel.release CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CHK include/generated/bounds.h CHK include/generated/timeconst.h CHK include/generated/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready Image arch/arm/boot/uImage is ready With this commit, it will look like follows: $ make ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x80208000 uImage CHK include/config/kernel.release CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CHK include/generated/bounds.h CHK include/generated/timeconst.h CHK include/generated/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/uImage is ready Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Russell King
