<title>initramfs: do not show compression mode choice if INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit ddd09bcc899f ("initramfs: make compression options not
depend on INITRAMFS_SOURCE"), Kconfig asks the compression mode for
the built-in initramfs regardless of INITRAMFS_SOURCE.

It is technically simpler, but pointless from a UI perspective,
Linus says [1].

When INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty, usr/Makefile creates a tiny default
cpio, which is so small that nobody cares about the compression.

This commit hides the Kconfig choice in that case. The default cpio
is embedded without compression, which was the original behavior.

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       -&gt;  always-y
  hostprogs-y  -&gt;  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.

<title>initramfs: refactor the initramfs build rules</title>

<id>urn:sha1:65e00e04e5aea34b256814cfa21b32e3b94a2402</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, usr/gen_initramfs.sh takes care of all the use-cases:

 [1] generates a cpio file unless CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE points to
     a single cpio archive

 [2] If CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is the path to a cpio archive,
     use it as-is.

 [3] Compress the cpio file according to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_*
     unless it is passed a compressed archive.

To simplify the script, move [2] and [3] to usr/Makefile.

If CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is the path to a cpio archive, there is
no need to run this shell script.

For the cpio archive compression, you can re-use the rules from
scripts/Makefile.lib .

<title>initramfs: add default_cpio_list, and delete -d option support</title>

<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty, the Makefile passes the -d
option to gen_initramfs.sh to create the default initramfs, which
contains /dev, /dev/console, and /root.

This commit simplifies the default behavior; remove the -d option,
and add the default cpio list.

Currently, this script is run twice, for the dependency list, and then
for the cpio archive.

The first one is re-run every time although its build log is suppressed
so nobody notices it.

Make it work more efficiently by generating the cpio and the dependency
list at the same time.

The comments in usr/Makefile wrongly refer to the script name (twice).

Line 37:
    # The dependency list is generated by gen_initramfs.sh -l

Line 54:
    # 4) Arguments to gen_initramfs.sh changes

There does not exist such a script.

I was going to fix the comments, but after some consideration, I thought
"gen_initramfs.sh" would be more suitable than "gen_initramfs_list.sh"
because it generates an initramfs image in the common usage.

The script generates a list that can be fed to gen_init_cpio only when
it is directly run without -o or -l option.

<title>initramfs: replace klibcdirs in Makefile with FORCE</title>

'klibcdirs' was added by commit d39a206bc35d ("kbuild: rebuild initramfs
if content of initramfs changes"). If this is just a matter of forcing
execution of the recipe line, we can replace it with FORCE.

The following code is currently useless:

   $(deps_initramfs): klibcdirs

The original intent could be a hook for the klibc integration into the
kernel tree, but klibc is a separate project, which can be built
independently. Clean it up.

<title>kbuild: clean compressed initramfs image</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6279eb3dd7946c69346a3b98473ed13d3a44adb5</id>
<content type='text'>
Since 9e3596b0c653 ("kbuild: initramfs cleanup, set target from Kconfig")
"make clean" leaves behind compressed initramfs images.  Example:

  $ make defconfig
  $ sed -i 's|CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=""|CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/tmp/ir.cpio"|' .config
  $ make olddefconfig
  $ make -s
  $ make -s clean
  $ git clean -ndxf | grep initramfs
  Would remove usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz

clean rules do not have CONFIG_* context so they do not know which
compression format was used.  Thus they don't know which files to delete.

Tell clean to delete all possible compression formats.

Once patched usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz and friends are deleted by
"make clean".
