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: vfs: build sample programs for target architecture

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

These userspace programs include 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 programs 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.

treewide: Add SPDX license identifier - Makefile/Kconfig

2019-05-21T08:50:46+00:00

Add SPDX license identifiers to all Make/Kconfig files which: - Have no license information of any form These files fall under the project license, GPL v2 only. The resulting SPDX license identifier is: GPL-2.0-only Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

samples: guard sub-directories with CONFIG options

2019-05-18T02:29:01+00:00

Do not descend to sub-directories when unneeded. I used subdir-$(CONFIG_...) for hidraw, seccomp, and vfs because they only contain host programs. While we are here, let's add SPDX License tag, and sort the directories alphabetically. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

vfs: Add a sample program for the new mount API

2019-03-20T22:49:06+00:00

Add a sample program to demonstrate fsopen/fsmount/move_mount to mount something. To make it compile on all arches, irrespective of whether or not syscall numbers are assigned, define the syscall number to -1 if it isn't to cause the kernel to return -ENOSYS.
