.gitignore: prefix local generated files with a slash

2021-05-01T15:43:35Z

The pattern prefixed with '/' matches files in the same directory, but not ones in sub-directories. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Miguel Ojeda Acked-by: Rob Herring Acked-by: Andra Paraschiv Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Acked-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

kbuild: replace LANG=C with LC_ALL=C

2021-05-01T15:43:35Z

LANG gives a weak default to each LC_* in case it is not explicitly defined. LC_ALL, if set, overrides all other LC_* variables. LANG < LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, ... < LC_ALL This is why documentation such as [1] suggests to set LC_ALL in build scripts to get the deterministic result. LANG=C is not strong enough to override LC_* that may be set by end users.

usr/include: refactor .gitignore

2021-05-01T15:43:34Z

The current .gitignore intends to ignore everything under usr/include/ except .gitignore and Makefile. A cleaner solution is to use a pattern suffixed with '/', which matches only directories. It works well here because all the exported headers are located in sub-directories, like , . Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

initramfs: Remove redundant dependency of RD_ZSTD on BLK_DEV_INITRD

2021-02-24T06:12:06Z

Commit be1859bdc660 ("initramfs: remove redundant dependency on BLK_DEV_INITRD") removed all redundant dependencies on BLK_DEV_INITRD, but the recent addition of zstd support introduced a new one.

2021-01-22T06:42:20Z

Perfmon support (used by oprofile earlier) was removed by commit ecf5b72d5f66 ("ia64: Remove perfmon") earlier, but it missed few files to remove/update. Clean it up.

usr: Add support for zstd compressed initramfs

2020-07-31T09:49:08Z

- Add support for a zstd compressed initramfs. - Add compression for compressing built-in initramfs with zstd. I have tested this patch by boot testing with buildroot and QEMU. Specifically, I booted the kernel with both a zstd and gzip compressed initramfs, both built into the kernel and separate. I ensured that the correct compression algorithm was used. I tested on arm, aarch64, i386, and x86_64. This patch has been tested in production on aarch64 and x86_64 devices. Additionally, I have performance measurements from internal use in production. On an aarch64 device we saw 19 second boot time improvement from switching from lzma to zstd (27 seconds to 8 seconds). On an x86_64 device we saw a 9 second boot time reduction from switching from xz to zstd.

unexport linux/elfcore.h

2020-07-27T18:29:22Z

It's unusable from userland - it uses elf_gregset_t, which is not provided by exported headers. glibc has it in sys/procfs.h, but the same file defines struct elf_prstatus, so linux/elfcore.h can't be included once sys/procfs.h has been pulled. Same goes for uclibc and dietlibc simply doesn't have elf_gregset_t defined anywhere. IOW, no userland source is including that thing. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

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
