linux-toradex.git/include/linux/atomic-fallback.h, branch v5.1-rc1 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules locking/atomics: Check atomic headers with sha1sum 2019-02-13T07:07:31+00:00 Mark Rutland mark.rutland@arm.com 2019-02-11T13:20:35+00:00 0cf264b3133dce56a60ca8b4335d1f76fe26870a We currently check the atomic headers at build-time to ensure they haven't been modified directly, and these checks require regenerating the headers in full. As this takes a few seconds, even when parallelized, this is too slow to run for every kernel build. Instead, we can generate a hash of each header as we generate them, which we can cheaply check at build time (~0.16s for all headers). This patch does so, updating headers with their hashes using the new gen-atomics.sh script. As some users apparently build the kernel wihout coreutils, lacking sha1sum, the checks are skipped in this case. Presumably, most developers have a working coreutils installation.

We currently check the atomic headers at build-time to ensure they
haven't been modified directly, and these checks require regenerating
the headers in full. As this takes a few seconds, even when
parallelized, this is too slow to run for every kernel build.

Instead, we can generate a hash of each header as we generate them,
which we can cheaply check at build time (~0.16s for all headers).

This patch does so, updating headers with their hashes using the new
gen-atomics.sh script. As some users apparently build the kernel wihout
coreutils, lacking sha1sum, the checks are skipped in this case.
Presumably, most developers have a working coreutils installation.

locking/atomics: Switch to generated fallbacks 2018-11-01T10:00:46+00:00 Mark Rutland mark.rutland@arm.com 2018-09-04T10:48:26+00:00 9fa45070a2e59a871e1cd3370173369f3a4f61e2 As a step to ensuring the atomic* APIs are consistent, switch to fallbacks generated by gen-atomic-fallback.sh. These are checked in rather than generated with Kbuild, since: * This allows inspection of the atomics with git grep and ctags on a pristine tree, which Linus strongly prefers being able to do. * The fallbacks are not affected by machine details or configuration options, so it is not necessary to regenerate them to take these into account. * These are included by files required *very* early in the build process (e.g. for generating bounds.h), and we'd rather not complicate the top-level Kbuild file with dependencies. The new fallback header should be equivalent to the old fallbacks in <linux/atomic.h>, but: * It is formatted a little differently due to scripting ensuring things are more regular than they used to be. * Fallbacks are now expanded in-place as static inline functions rather than macros. * The prototypes for fallbacks are arragned consistently with the return type on a separate line to try to keep to a sensible line length. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

As a step to ensuring the atomic* APIs are consistent, switch to fallbacks
generated by gen-atomic-fallback.sh.

These are checked in rather than generated with Kbuild, since:

* This allows inspection of the atomics with git grep and ctags on a
  pristine tree, which Linus strongly prefers being able to do.

* The fallbacks are not affected by machine details or configuration
  options, so it is not necessary to regenerate them to take these into
  account.

* These are included by files required *very* early in the build process
  (e.g. for generating bounds.h), and we'd rather not complicate the
  top-level Kbuild file with dependencies.

The new fallback header should be equivalent to the old fallbacks in
<linux/atomic.h>, but:

* It is formatted a little differently due to scripting ensuring things
  are more regular than they used to be.

* Fallbacks are now expanded in-place as static inline functions rather
  than macros.

* The prototypes for fallbacks are arragned consistently with the return
  type on a separate line to try to keep to a sensible line length.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
