bpfilter: match bit size of bpfilter_umh to that of the kernel

2020-05-17T09:52:01Z

bpfilter_umh is built for the default machine bit of the compiler, which may not match to the bit size of the kernel. This happens in the scenario below: You can use biarch GCC that defaults to 64-bit for building the 32-bit kernel. In this case, Kbuild passes -m32 to teach the compiler to produce 32-bit kernel space objects. However, it is missing when building bpfilter_umh. It is built as a 64-bit ELF, and then embedded into the 32-bit kernel. The 32-bit kernel and 64-bit umh is a bad combination. In theory, we can have 32-bit umh running on 64-bit kernel, but we do not have a good reason to support such a usecase. The best is to match the bit size between them. Pass -m32 or -m64 to the umh build command if it is found in $(KBUILD_CFLAGS). Evaluate CC_CAN_LINK against the kernel bit-size. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: use -MMD instead of -MD to exclude system headers from dependency

2020-05-12T04:28:33Z

This omits system headers from the generated header dependency. System headers are not updated unless you upgrade the compiler. Nor do they contain CONFIG options, so fixdep does not need to parse them. Having said that, the effect of this optimization will be quite small because the kernel code generally does not include system headers except . Host programs include a lot of system headers, but there are not so many in the kernel tree. At first, keeping system headers in .*.cmd files might be useful to detect the compiler update, but there is no guarantee that is included from every file. So, I implemented a more reliable way in the previous commit. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

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.

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 .
