initramfs: restore default compression behavior

2020-03-17T00:50:37Z

Even though INITRAMFS_SOURCE kconfig option isn't set in most of defconfigs it is used (set) extensively by various build systems. Commit f26661e12765 ("initramfs: make initramfs compression choice non-optional") has changed default compression mode. Previously we compress initramfs using available compression algorithm. Now we don't use any compression at all by default. It significantly increases the image size in case of build system chooses embedded initramfs. Initially I faced with this issue while using buildroot. As of today it's not possible to set preferred compression mode in target defconfig as this option depends on INITRAMFS_SOURCE being set. Modification of all build systems either doesn't look like good option. Let's instead rewrite initramfs compression mode choices list the way that "INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE" will be the last option in the list. In that case it will be chosen only if all other options (which implements any compression) are not available. Signed-off-by: Eugeniy Paltsev Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

initramfs: do not show compression mode choice if INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty

2020-02-03T17:31:43Z

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.

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

2020-02-03T16:53:07Z

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.

gen_initramfs.sh: remove intermediate cpio_list on errors

2020-01-15T15:26:22Z

This script sets the -e option, so it exits on any error, in which case it exits without cleaning up the intermediate cpio_list. Make sure to delete it on exit. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

initramfs: refactor the initramfs build rules

2020-01-15T15:26:21Z

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 .

gen_initramfs.sh: always output cpio even without -o option

2020-01-15T15:25:22Z

Currently, this script outputs a cpio file when -o option is given, but otherwise a text file in the format recognized by gen_init_cpio. This behavior is unclear. Make it always output a cpio file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

initramfs: add default_cpio_list, and delete -d option support

2020-01-15T15:25:22Z

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. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

initramfs: generate dependency list and cpio at the same time

2020-01-15T15:25:21Z

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. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
