kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb rule

2012-11-30T16:52:19Z

All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches. MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle. Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

Kbuild: centralize MKIMAGE and cmd_uimage definitions

2012-03-26T13:49:20Z

All ARCHs have the same definition of MKIMAGE. Move it to Makefile.lib to avoid duplication. All ARCHs have similar definitions of cmd_uimage. Place a sufficiently parameterized version in Makefile.lib to avoid duplication.

Kbuild: Use dtc's -d (dependency) option

2012-01-14T23:04:35Z

This hooks dtc into Kbuild's dependency system. Thus, for example, "make dtbs" will rebuild tegra-harmony.dtb if only tegra20.dtsi has changed yet tegra-harmony.dts has not. The previous lack of this feature recently caused me to have very confusing "git bisect" results. For ARM, it's obvious what to add to $(targets). I'm not familiar enough with other architectures to know what to add there. Powerpc appears to already add various .dtb files into $(targets), but the other archs may need something added to $(targets) to work.

kbuild: Fix comment in Makefile.lib

2012-01-08T20:54:43Z

KBUILD_MODNAME is not defined for files that are linked into multiple modules, and trying to change reality to match documentation would result in all sorts of trouble. E.g. options for built-in modules would be called either foo_bar.param, foo.param, or bar.param, depending on the configuration. So just change the comment. Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild: prevent make from deleting _shipped files

2011-08-31T14:35:56Z

commit 7373f4f (kbuild: add implicit rules for parser generation) created a implicit rule chain (%.c: %.c_shipped: %.y). Make considers the _shipped files to be intermediate files which causes them to be deleted if they didn't exist before make was run. Mark the _shipped files PRECIOUS to prevent make from deleting them. Signed-off-by: Peter Foley Acked-by: Arnaud Lacombe Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild: simplify the %_shipped rule

2011-06-09T18:04:39Z

This is needed to have make(1) correctly link the implicit rules which generate the _shipped file from the lexer/parser to the final file. Signed-off-by: Arnaud Lacombe

decompressors: add XZ decompressor module

2011-01-13T16:03:24Z

In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that got superseded by the .xz format. Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by XZ Utils. These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel. Most of the code is as is from XZ Embedded . It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too. Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel: - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. - Integrity check support (CRC32) - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower. This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module (xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool, and documentation. The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ decompressor e.g. for Squashfs. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin Cc: "H.

of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux

2010-12-23T21:43:00Z

This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking .dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image. Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to wrap the blobs for linking. STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition. The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob to get the structure alignment GCC expects. A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using obj-y += foo.dtb.o Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie Acked-by: Michal Marek [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: cleaned up whitespace inconsistencies] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely
