samples: mei: Fix building on musl libc

[ Upstream commit 239df3e4b4752524e7c0fb3417c218d8063654b4 ] The header bits/wordsize.h is glibc specific and on building on musl with allyesconfig results in samples/mei/mei-amt-version.c:77:10: fatal error: bits/wordsize.h: No such file or directory 77 | #include | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mei-amt-version.c build file without bits/wordsize.h on musl and glibc.

samples: mei: don't wait on read completion upon write.

2021-08-01T07:54:22+00:00

The original mei driver communication was strictly write command and receive response flow, the completion of write was determined when response was ready using select(). This paradigm is a long time not true. There can be write without a response and an unsolicited read. The driver is capable of handling those. Adjust also the sample code and remove select() on read() from the write flow. Add select to the read flow to showcase how to do the read with a timeout.

kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-y

2020-08-09T16:32:59+00:00

To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs' to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them because there is no dependency. There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile). The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'. This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand. The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast, programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y' so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles. userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

samples: mei: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-06-16T04:08:31+00:00

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

samples: mei: build sample program for target architecture

2020-05-17T09:52:02+00:00

This userspace program includes UAPI headers exported to usr/include/. 'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same architecture as the kernel), so the sample program should be built for the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that. I also guarded the CONFIG option by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because $(CC) may not provide libc. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

2020-02-03T16:53:07+00:00

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004. It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration. This commit renames like follows: always -> always-y hostprogs-y -> hostprogs So, scripts/Makefile will look like this: always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ... always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ... ... hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m) I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier. The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward compatibility for a while.
