[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] Add device tree build information

[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] Add device tree build information

[Alexandre Torgue]

(with title it's better ;)

Hi,

The goal of this series is to add device tree build information in dtb.
This information can be dtb build date, where devicetree files come from,
who built the dtb ... Actually, same kind of information that you can find
in the Linux banner which is printout during kernel boot. Having the same
kind of information for device tree is useful for debugging and maintenance.

A file (dtb-build.txt) containing a string with build information (e.g.,
From Linux 5.5.0-rc1 by alex the Mon Jan 13 18:25:38 CET 2020) is generated by
"gen_dtb_build_info.sh" script. 

This file has to be included manually in each dts file that would like to use 
this build information.

of/fdt.c is modified to printout "build-info" property during Kernel boot and 
scripts/Makefile.lib is modified to call "gen_dtb_build_info.sh" script.

Patch 1 & 2 script and of/fdt.c updates
Patch 3 is an example of use in stm32mp157c-dk2.dts file.
Patch 4 is a tentative to make it automatic (not yet 100% functional).

regards
Alex

Changes since v1;
 - Remove modification in dtc (no more -B option)
 - Generate a file containing build info which is directly included in dts
   file.

Alex

[RFC PATCH v2 1/4] scripts: Add script to generate dtb build information

[Alexandre Torgue]

This commit adds a new script to create a file (in dts file directory) with
some information (date, Linux version, user). This file could then be used
to populate "build-info" property in every dts file that would use this
build information:

Example:

/ {
	...
	build-info = /incbin/("dtb-build.txt");
	...
};

I would remove the filler words "From", "by", "the", and the trailing
period ('.').

<bikeshed>
You might consider using a format more like the Linux
kernel version line, which puts parenthesis around the
compiled by info.

IMO, we should use exactly the Linux kernel version line. Or exactly
the u-boot version line when built in u-boot.

Whatever the correct version of this ends up being, it should be
implemented as a single patch instead of patch 1/4 being modified
by patch 4/4.

We regenerate this for every dtb?

Use LINUX_COMPILE_BY #define

I'd use UTS_RELEASE and UTS_VERSION defines here.

Obviously, hardcoding this is not right. You probably need to prepend 
with $(obj) so this works for out of tree builds too.

> +echo "&{/} {build-info = /incbin/(\"dtb-build.txt\");};" >> $DTS_FILE

You could commit the .dtsi file using the above defines and then just 
add a #include of it here. Then we'd get dependency tracking for free.

In the RFC series, you said:

  "I gonna prepare a V2 with David proposition (to use overlay format) by
   keeping in mind not to modify existing dts(i) files."

   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/9d83a36c-78c5-3452-bb48-209d68c46038@st.com/

But here in v2 instead requires including dtb-build.txt.

This would require modifying every single main .dts file to get the build info.
I would prefer the method that Ian and David came up with (sorry, no lore link,
it did not go to lkml).  Extract from David's email:

   Uh... maybe.  -include will essentially prepend the forced file, which
   is a bit awkward for our purposes.  It means that the prepended file
   would need the /dts-v1/ tag, and we couldn't have it in the main files
   which would be a bit confusing.  I think it would also cause problems
   with any /memreserve/ tags and means that the main tree could in
   theory overwrite the build information which we don't necessarily
   want.

   I guess we could build things the other way around: have the main .dts
   file specified with -include and have the dts on the dtc commandline
   be a fixed one with the build information.  It'd be a little weird,
   though.

Yes. I try briefly this idea but I got issues with dts-v1 tag. I agree, 
it is cleaner to not modify input dts file. I can rework int this way.

Unfortunately no. I cook something locally but not yet upstream-able.
Due to project issue I didn't find time to work on it. I think (I hope) 
to be less busy next week and so I'll restart it.

[RFC PATCH v2 0/4]

[Alexandre Torgue]

Hi,

The goal of this series is to add device tree build information in dtb.
This information can be dtb build date, where devicetree files come from,
who built the dtb ... Actually, same kind of information that you can find
in the Linux banner which is printout during kernel boot. Having the same
kind of information for device tree is useful for debugging and maintenance.

A file (dtb-build.txt) containing a string with build information (e.g.,
From Linux 5.5.0-rc1 by alex the Mon Jan 13 18:25:38 CET 2020) is generated by
"gen_dtb_build_info.sh" script. 

This file has to be included manually in each dts file that would like to use 
this build information.

of/fdt.c is modified to printout "build-info" property during Kernel boot and 
scripts/Makefile.lib is modified to call "gen_dtb_build_info.sh" script.

Patch 1 & 2 script and of/fdt.c updates
Patch 3 is an example of use in stm32mp157c-dk2.dts file.
Patch 4 is a tentative to make it automatic (not yet 100% functional).

regards
Alex

Changes since v1;
 - Remove modification in dtc (no more -B option)
 - Generate a file containing build info which is directly included in dts
   file.

Alex
