<title>kbuild: avoid build error when single DTB is turned into composite DTB</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=712aba5543b88996bc4682086471076fbf048927'/>
<id>712aba5543b88996bc4682086471076fbf048927</id>
<content type='text'>
As commit afa974b77128 ("kbuild: add real-prereqs shorthand for
$(filter-out FORCE,$^)") explained, $(real-prereqs) is not just a list
of objects when linking a multi-object module. If a single-object module
is turned into a multi-object module, $^ (and therefore $(real-prereqs)
as well) contains header files recorded in the *.cmd file. Such headers
must be filtered out.

Now that a DTB can be built either from a single source or multiple
source files, the same issue can occur.

Consider the following scenario:

First, foo.dtb is implemented as a single-blob device tree.

The code looks something like this:

[Sample Code 1]

  Makefile:

      dtb-y += foo.dtb

  foo.dts:

    #include &lt;dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h&gt;
    /dts-v1/;
    / { };

When it is compiled, .foo.dtb.cmd records that foo.dtb depends on
scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h.

Later, foo.dtb is split into a base and an overlay. The code looks
something like this:

[Sample Code 2]

  Makefile:

      dtb-y += foo.dtb
      foo-dtbs := foo-base.dtb foo-addon.dtbo

  foo-base.dts:

    #include &lt;dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h&gt;
    /dts-v1/;
    / { };

  foo-addon.dtso:

    /dts-v1/;
    /plugin/;
    / { };

If you rebuild foo.dtb without 'make clean', you will get this error:

    Overlay 'scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h' is incomplete

$(real-prereqs) contains not only foo-base.dtb and foo-addon.dtbo but
also scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h, which is
passed to scripts/dtc/fdtoverlay.

<title>scripts/make_fit: Support decomposing DTBs</title>

<id>17c31aded9a1ee87e37f0ea0e3737797ef3f8c97</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel tree builds some "composite" DTBs, where the final DTB is the
result of applying one or more DTB overlays on top of a base DTB with
fdtoverlay.

The FIT image specification already supports configurations having one
base DTB and overlays applied on top. It is then up to the bootloader to
apply said overlays and either use or pass on the final result. This
allows the FIT image builder to reuse the same FDT images for multiple
configurations, if such cases exist.

The decomposition function depends on the kernel build system, reading
back the .cmd files for the to-be-packaged DTB files to check for the
fdtoverlay command being called. This will not work outside the kernel
tree. The function is off by default to keep compatibility with possible
existing users.

To facilitate the decomposition and keep the code clean, the model and
compatitble string extraction have been moved out of the output_dtb
function. The FDT image description is replaced with the base file name
of the included image.

Currently only the single part device trees are validated against DT
schema. For the multipart DT files only the base DTB is validated.
Extend the fdtoverlay commands to validate the resulting DTB file
against schema.

The objtool, sanitizers (KASAN, UBSAN, etc.), and profilers (GCOV, etc.)
are intended only for kernel space objects.

For instance, the following are not kernel objects, and therefore should
opt out of coverage:

  - vDSO
  - purgatory
  - bootloader (arch/*/boot/)

However, to exclude these from coverage, you need to explicitly set
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STNDARD=y, KASAN_SANITIZE=n, etc.

Kbuild can achieve this without relying on such variables because
objects not directly linked to vmlinux or modules are considered
"non-standard objects".

Detecting standard objects is straightforward:

  - objects added to obj-y or lib-y are linked to vmlinux
  - objects added to obj-m are linked to modules

There are some exceptional Makefiles (e.g., arch/s390/boot/Makefile,
arch/xtensa/boot/lib/Makefile) that use obj-y or lib-y for non-kernel
space objects, but they can be fixed later if necessary.

Going forward, objects that are not listed in obj-y, lib-y, or obj-m
will opt out of objtool, sanitizers, and profilers by default.

You can still override the Kbuild decision by explicitly specifying
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, KASAN_SANITIZE, etc. but most of such Make
variables can be removed.

The next commit will clean up redundant variables.

Note:

This commit changes the coverage for some objects:

  - exclude .vmlinux.export.o from UBSAN, KCOV
  - exclude arch/csky/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o from UBSAN
  - exclude arch/parisc/kernel/vdso32/vdso32.so from UBSAN
  - exclude arch/parisc/kernel/vdso64/vdso64.so from UBSAN
  - exclude arch/x86/um/vdso/um_vdso.o from UBSAN
  - exclude drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o from UBSAN, KCOV
  - exclude init/version-timestamp.o from UBSAN, KCOV
  - exclude lib/test_fortify/*.o from all santizers and profilers

I believe these are positive effects.

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

<title>kbuild: use $(obj)/ instead of $(src)/ for common pattern rules</title>

in scripts/Makefile.build:

  src := $(obj)

Before changing the semantics of $(src) in the next commit, this commit
replaces $(obj)/ with $(src)/ in pattern rules where the prerequisite
might be a generated file.

C, assembly, Rust, and DTS files are sometimes generated by tools, so
they could be either generated files or real sources. The $(obj)/ prefix
works for both cases with the help of VPATH.

As mentioned above, $(obj) and $(src) are the same at this point, hence
this commit has no functional change.

I did not modify scripts/Makefile.userprogs because there is no use
case where userspace C files are generated.

<title>kbuild: do not add $(srctree) or $(objtree) to header search paths</title>

scripts/Makefile.lib is included not only from scripts/Makefile.build
but also from scripts/Makefile.{vmlinux,modfinal} for building generated
C files.

In scripts/Makefile.{vmlinux,modfinal}, $(obj) and $(src) are empty.

Therefore, the header include paths:

    -I $(srctree)/$(src) -I $(objtree)/$(obj)

... become meaningless code:

    -I $(srctree)/ -I $(objtree)/

Add these paths only when 'obj' and 'src' are defined.

<title>dt-bindings: kbuild: Add separate target/dependency for processed-schema.json</title>

Running dtbs_check and dt_compatible_check targets really only depend
on processed-schema.json, but the dependency is 'dt_binding_check'. That
was sort worked around with the CHECK_DT_BINDING variable in order to
skip some of the work that 'dt_binding_check' does. It still runs the
full checks of the schemas which is not necessary and adds 10s of
seconds to the build time. That's significant when checking only a few
DTBs and with recent changes that have improved the validation time by
6-7x.

Add a new target, dt_binding_schema, which just builds
processed-schema.json and can be used as the dependency for other
targets. The scripts_dtc dependency isn't needed either as the examples
aren't built for it.
