kbuild: create a list of all built DTB files

2024-02-19T09:20:39Z

It is useful to have a list of all *.dtb and *.dtbo files generated from the current build. With this commit, 'make dtbs' creates arch/*/boot/dts/dtbs-list, which lists the dtb(o) files created in the current build. It maintains the order of the dtb-y additions in Makefiles although the order is not important for DTBs. It is a (good) side effect through the reuse of the modules.order rule. Please note this list only includes the files directly added to dtb-y. For example, consider this case: foo-dtbs := foo_base.dtb foo_overlay.dtbo dtb-y := foo.dtb In this example, the list will include foo.dtb, but not foo_base.dtb or foo_overlay.dtbo.

Add .editorconfig file for basic formatting

2023-12-28T07:22:47Z

EditorConfig is a specification to define the most basic code formatting stuff, and it's supported by many editors and IDEs, either directly or via plugins, including VSCode/VSCodium, Vim, emacs and more. It allows to define formatting style related to indentation, charset, end of lines and trailing whitespaces. It also allows to apply different formats for different files based on wildcards, so for example it is possible to apply different configs to *.{c,h}, *.py and *.rs. In linux project, defining a .editorconfig might help to those people that work on different projects with different indentation styles, so they cannot define a global style. Now they will directly see the correct indentation on every fresh clone of the project.

Revert ".gitignore: ignore .cover and .mbx"

2023-07-04T22:05:12Z

This reverts commit 534066a983df0935847061c844eb178f8a53a9e7. It's actively detrimental in that it hides files that shouldn't be hidden. If I have some b4 mbx file in my git directory, it either was already applied with "git am" and is now stale, or maybe it's waiting for that to happen. In neither case is "ignore it" the right option. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursion

2023-06-22T12:21:06Z

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op. Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits: - 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option") - a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding") We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules. Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules, modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB only for symbols with sym->used==true. BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/ Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain reaction of trimming comes into play because: - CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols - CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux, but not modules If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess that is unlikely to happen.
