kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and remove .PRECIOUS markers

2018-04-07T10:04:02+00:00

GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated
in a chain of pattern rules.

Example 1) %.dtb.o <- %.dtb.S <- %.dtb <- %.dts
Example 2) %.o <- %.c <- %.c_shipped

A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make
from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY.

  .SECONDARY
    Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate
    files but are never automatically deleted.

  .PRECIOUS
    When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target
    file it is updating if the file was modified since make started.
    If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file
    if interrupted.

Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is
the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target,
but .PRECIOUS does not.

The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep
partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets.

Another difference is that .PRECIOUS works with pattern rules whereas
.SECONDARY does not.

  .PRECIOUS: $(obj)/%.lex.c

works, but

  .SECONDARY: $(obj)/%.lex.c

has no effect.  However, for the reason above, I do not want to use
.PRECIOUS which could cause obscure build breakage.

The targets specified as .SECONDARY must be explicit.  $(targets)
contains all targets that need to include .*.cmd files.  So, the
intermediates you want to keep are mostly in there.  Therefore, mark
$(targets) as .SECONDARY.  It means primary targets are also marked
as .SECONDARY, but I do not see any drawback for this.

I replaced some .SECONDARY / .PRECIOUS markers with 'targets'.  This
will make Kbuild search for non-existing .*.cmd files, but this is
not a noticeable performance issue.

ARC: Enable fatal signals on boot for dev platforms

2018-01-18T18:51:27+00:00

It's very convenient to have fatal signals enabled on developemnt
platform as this allows to catch problems that happen early in
user-space (like crashing init or dynamic loader).

Otherwise we may either enable it later from alive taregt console
by "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/print-fatal-signals" but:
 1. We might be unfortunate enough to not reach working console
 2. Forget to enable fatal signals and miss something interesting

Given we're talking about development platforms here it shouldn't
be a problem if a bit more data gets printed to debug console.

Moreover this makes behavior of all our dev platforms predictable
as today some platforms already have it enabled and some don't -
which is way too inconvenient.

DW ethernet controller on axs10x hangs sometimes after SW reset.
Invoke the newly aded driver (reset-axs10x.c) by adding the DT bits.

With this in place, we don't need the open-coded quirk in platform
code, so get rid of it as well !

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 "A bigger diffstat than usual with the kbuild changes and a tree wide
  fix in the binding documentation.

  Summary:

   - kbuild cleanups and improvements for dtbs

   - Code clean-up of overlay code and fixing for some long standing
     memory leak and race condition in applying overlays

   - Improvements to DT memory usage making sysfs/kobjects optional and
     skipping unflattening of disabled nodes. This is part of kernel
     tinification efforts.

   - Final piece of removing storing the full path for every DT node.
     The prerequisite conversion of printk's to use device_node format
     specifier happened in 4.14.

   - Sync with current upstream dtc. This brings additional checks to
     dtb compiling.

   - Binding doc tree wide removal of leading 0s from examples

   - RTC binding documentation adding missing devices and some
     consolidation of duplicated bindings

   - Vendor prefix documentation for nutsboard, Silicon Storage
     Technology, shimafuji, Tecon Microprocessor Technologies, DH

kbuild: handle dtb-y and CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS natively in Makefile.lib

2017-11-09T23:03:07+00:00

If CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS is enabled, "make ARCH=arm64 dtbs" compiles each
DTB twice; one from arch/arm64/boot/dts/*/Makefile and the other from
the dtb-$(CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS) line in arch/arm64/boot/dts/Makefile.
It could be a race problem when building DTBS in parallel.

Another minor issue is CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS covers only *.dts in vendor
sub-directories, so this broke when Broadcom added one more hierarchy
in arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom//.

One idea to fix the issues in a clean way is to move DTB handling
to Kbuild core scripts.  Makefile.dtbinst already recognizes dtb-y
natively, so it should not hurt to do so.

Add $(dtb-y) to extra-y, and $(dtb-) as well if CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS is
enabled.  All clutter things in Makefiles go away.

As a bonus clean-up, I also removed dts-dirs.  Just use subdir-y
directly to traverse sub-directories.

kbuild: clean up .dtb and .dtb.S patterns from top-level Makefile

2017-11-08T17:20:24+00:00

We need to add "clean-files" in Makfiles to clean up DT blobs, but we
often miss to do so.

Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, so we
can clean-up those files from the top-level Makefile.
