[PATCH 0/8] drm, fbdev: rework dependencies

[Arnd Bergmann]

I tried to fix up some dependencies after the sii8620 "imply EXTCON"
statementn broke, trying a few things but in the backing out a
change that would completely reverse the LEDS_CLASS selects into
a 'depends on'. 

However, what I got now are multiple changes that remove gratious
"selects" that lead to circular dependencies for sii8620 and others:

- Anything doing "select FB" is now gone, or becomes "depends on FB",

- DDC support depends on I2C instead of selecting it

- backlight class device support is never selected by framebuffer
  drivers but has proper dependencies

I have done thousands of randconfig build tests on this, but no
runtime tests.

Some of the 'depends on FOO || !FOO' statements could be simplified
into a new 'uses FOO' syntax based on a patch from Saeed Mahameed,
but I would for the moment treat that as a cleanup that can be done
later.

If we can agree on these changes, maybe someone can merge them
through the drm-misc tree.

Please review

[PATCH 1/8] fbdev: w100fb: clean up mach-pxa compile-time dependency

[Arnd Bergmann]

In order to get rid of the 'select FB' line in Kconfig for all platforms,
change the w100fb driver to handle the gpio lines itself rather than
using an indirect function call.

This also allows removing the remaining exported interfaces from the
driver, the only other symbol has been unused for a long time.

[PATCH 1/8] fbdev: w100fb: clean up mach-pxa compile-time dependency

[Arnd Bergmann]

In order to get rid of the 'select FB' line in Kconfig for all platforms,
change the w100fb driver to handle the gpio lines itself rather than
using an indirect function call.

This also allows removing the remaining exported interfaces from the
driver, the only other symbol has been unused for a long time.

[PATCH 2/8] fbdev/ARM: pxa: avoid selecting CONFIG_FB

[Arnd Bergmann]

In order to add more compile-time dependencies to CONFIG_FB, remove the
last few instances of selecting it from platform code.

This was originally written to allow a modular driver, but that never
worked because vmlinux cannot call exported functions from a loadable
module.

Just change the #ifdef check to what it should have been and remove
the 'select' statement.

[PATCH 2/8] fbdev/ARM: pxa: avoid selecting CONFIG_FB

[Arnd Bergmann]

In order to add more compile-time dependencies to CONFIG_FB, remove the
last few instances of selecting it from platform code.

This was originally written to allow a modular driver, but that never
worked because vmlinux cannot call exported functions from a loadable
module.

Just change the #ifdef check to what it should have been and remove
the 'select' statement.

[PATCH 3/8] fbdev: rework FB_DDC dependencies

[Arnd Bergmann]

Selecting FB_DDC currently turns on CONFIG_I2C implicitly,
which is often not desired and can lead to circular dependencies.

Change this to a 'depends on' and change all drivers that
rely on FB_DDC to have an appropriate I2C dependency as well.

[PATCH 4/8] drm/rcar: stop using 'imply' for dependencies

[Arnd Bergmann]

The meaning of the 'imply' keyword has changed recently, and neither the
old meaning (select the symbol if its dependencies are met) nor the new
meaning (enable it by default, but let the user set any other setting)
is what we want here.

Work around this by adding two more Kconfig options that lead to
the correct behavior: if DRM_RCAR_USE_CMM and DRM_RCAR_USE_LVDS
are enabled, that portion of the driver becomes usable, and no
configuration results in a link error.

[PATCH 4/8] drm/rcar: stop using 'imply' for dependencies

[Arnd Bergmann]

The meaning of the 'imply' keyword has changed recently, and neither the
old meaning (select the symbol if its dependencies are met) nor the new
meaning (enable it by default, but let the user set any other setting)
is what we want here.

Work around this by adding two more Kconfig options that lead to
the correct behavior: if DRM_RCAR_USE_CMM and DRM_RCAR_USE_LVDS
are enabled, that portion of the driver becomes usable, and no
configuration results in a link error.

[PATCH 5/8] drm/vmwgfx: make framebuffer support optional

[Arnd Bergmann]

CONFIG_FB causes unnecessary Kconfig dependency problems when selected
from another driver. Since it is already optional in vmwgfx at runtime,
turn this into a compile-time dependency so the support can be completely
left out of the driver and enabled only if CONFIG_FB is explicitly
selected in the configuration.

When the FB support is built into the driver, it is turned on by
default, but can still be disabled when loading the module.

default, but can still be disabled when loading the module.

[PATCH 6/8] drm: decouple from CONFIG_FB

[Arnd Bergmann]

CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER selects CONFIG_FB, which is something it
really should not, to avoid circular dependencies and accidentally
including potentially dangerous user interfaces in the kernel,
so change this into a 'depends on' check.

Two device drivers currently select CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER, but
as far as I can tell, they do not really need to any more, so those
selects can be removed.

This leaves DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION as the only thing that rightfully
selects CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER, and this now has to depend on
CONFIG_FB and its dependencies.

[PATCH 7/8] fbdev: rework backlight dependencies

[Arnd Bergmann]

Rather than having CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT select CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE,
make any driver that needs it have a dependency on the class device
being available, to prevent circular dependencies.

This is the same way that the backlight is already treated for the DRM
subsystem.

[PATCH 7/8] fbdev: rework backlight dependencies

[Arnd Bergmann]

Rather than having CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT select CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE,
make any driver that needs it have a dependency on the class device
being available, to prevent circular dependencies.

This is the same way that the backlight is already treated for the DRM
subsystem.

[PATCH 8/8] drm/bridge/sii8620: fix extcon dependency

[Arnd Bergmann]

Using 'imply' does not work here, it still cause the same build
failure:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/sil-sii8620.o: in function `sii8620_remove':

Now that the framebuffer configuration is cleaned up, we can use the
usual 'depends on EXTCON || !EXTCON' trick.

This statement:

	depends on DRM && FB

tell us that both symbols must be either y or m. Any combination of y
and m will do the trick


Then we have this statement:

	depends on FB=y || DRM=m

It tells us that either FB equals y or DRM equals m.

So we have following table

	FB	DRM	Result
	n	n	n
	n	y	n
	n	m	n
	y	n	n
	y	y	y
	y	m	y
	m	n	n
	m	y	N
	m	m	y

So what this try to say is that we cannot have FB a module while DRM is
built-in (marked N in the above).

Could you explain in the changelog why this combination is not good.
(Or tell me if my analysis was flawed).

Re: [PATCH 7/8] fbdev: rework backlight dependencies

[Sam Ravnborg]

Hi Arnd.

> Rather than having CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT select CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE,

I am not happy with the direction of this patch.
It is not easy to understand that one has to enable backlight to
be allowed to select a display or an fbdev driver.


How about somthing like this:

config BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
	tristate
	# Will enable backlight module
	# Has no dependencies

config	BACKLIGHT
	bool "Backlight drivers"
	# Will make the backlight drivers visible - a visibility option
	# only

if BACKLIGHT

config BACKLIGHT_ATMEL_LCDC
	...
config BACKLIGHT_EP93XX

endif


All drivers outside video/backlight/ can then select
BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE to get the backlight core
module.
Or in other words BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is used as a sort
of library symbol that gices us access to backlight functionality.

I tried something like this some time ago - but it did not work out for me.
But maybe I just missed something obviously in the maze of Kconfig.

Loking at your patch it is obviously that the approach I suggest above
would require all relevant drivers to explicit add a
select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE.

But that is not a bad thing IMO.

Re: [PATCH 7/8] fbdev: rework backlight dependencies

I am not happy with the direction of this patch.
It is not easy to understand that one has to enable backlight to
be allowed to select a display or an fbdev driver.


How about somthing like this:

config BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
	tristate
	# Will enable backlight module
	# Has no dependencies

config	BACKLIGHT
	bool "Backlight drivers"
	# Will make the backlight drivers visible - a visibility option
	# only

if BACKLIGHT

config BACKLIGHT_ATMEL_LCDC
	...
config BACKLIGHT_EP93XX

endif


All drivers outside video/backlight/ can then select
BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE to get the backlight core
module.
Or in other words BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is used as a sort
of library symbol that gices us access to backlight functionality.

I tried something like this some time ago - but it did not work out for me.
But maybe I just missed something obviously in the maze of Kconfig.

Loking at your patch it is obviously that the approach I suggest above
would require all relevant drivers to explicit add a
select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE.

But that is not a bad thing IMO.

Biggest concern I have is that usability of make menuconfig is horrible,
and it's very hard to find options that are hidden by depends on. You can
use the search interface, if you happen to know the option.

Once you've surmounted that bar, the next one is trying to find what
exactly you need to enable. Which again means endless of recursive
screaming at Kconfig files, since make menuconfig doesn't help you at all.

That's pretty much why we've never pushed this in, and instead done the
selects. I'm vary applying all this, since after after there'll be all the
screaming again and we have to back it out.

I think to embrace this without regrets what we need is:
- some way to list the hidden options

menuconfig cant do that, gconfig I cant build here (it's some old gtk2
thing, where do you even get the deps for that). xconfig also cant do
this easily, dependencies aren't linked.

So yeah not sure this is a good idea at all, until at least menuconfig can
cope.

Biggest concern I have is that usability of make menuconfig is horrible,
and it's very hard to find options that are hidden by depends on. You can
use the search interface, if you happen to know the option.

Once you've surmounted that bar, the next one is trying to find what
exactly you need to enable. Which again means endless of recursive
screaming at Kconfig files, since make menuconfig doesn't help you at all.

That's pretty much why we've never pushed this in, and instead done the
selects. I'm vary applying all this, since after after there'll be all the
screaming again and we have to back it out.

I think to embrace this without regrets what we need is:
- some way to list the hidden options
- some way to browse the depedencies of those hidden options

menuconfig cant do that, gconfig I cant build here (it's some old gtk2
thing, where do you even get the deps for that). xconfig also cant do
this easily, dependencies aren't linked.

+1 on this. But this is a general kconfig problem, and not unique to
DRM, I've done this screaming for many different things now.. eg to
turn on every single RDMA driver.

I hackily delt with it by creating this rather insane script based on
the python kconfiglib to try and sort things out mostly automatically:

https://github.com/jgunthorpe/Kernel-Maintainer-Tools/blob/master/gj_tools/cmd_kconfig.py

It would be great if menuconfig had a key to say 'hey, really, turn
this on and everything it depends on, recursively'

Right, this could work as long as nobody puts back any "depends on
BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE, but it does cause another problem: There
are a couple of drivers that can optionally use backlight support
or just leave it out depending on CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE.

Changing them to select the class device support unconditionally
would make it impossible to build those drivers without it.
Instead we could all need an individual Kconfig symbol, or use
have "select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE if BACKLIGHT"
in each case, but I'm not sure if that's still a win over having a
simple 'depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE'.

On a related note, the NEW_LEDS/LEDS_CLASS option probably
falls into the same category, and could also be done as you suggest.
At the moment, this has the problem that both symbols are user
visible and also frequently selected by device drivers (but not others),
which is causing another set of dependency issues.

Right, this could work as long as nobody puts back any "depends on
BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE, but it does cause another problem: There
are a couple of drivers that can optionally use backlight support
or just leave it out depending on CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE.

Changing them to select the class device support unconditionally
would make it impossible to build those drivers without it.
Instead we could all need an individual Kconfig symbol, or use
have "select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE if BACKLIGHT"
in each case, but I'm not sure if that's still a win over having a
simple 'depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE'.

On a related note, the NEW_LEDS/LEDS_CLASS option probably
falls into the same category, and could also be done as you suggest.
At the moment, this has the problem that both symbols are user
visible and also frequently selected by device drivers (but not others),
which is causing another set of dependency issues.

Hi Arnd,

Ok, so if you remove the select FB_PXA, I think there will be a couple of
defconfigs which _might_ break, namely :
	corgi_defconfig
	h5000_defconfig
	hx4700_good_defconfig
	lubbock_defconfig
	mmp2_defconfig
	multi_v7_defconfig
	mvebu_v7_defconfig
	pcm027_defconfig
	pxa168_defconfig
	pxa910_defconfig
	xcep_defconfig
	zylonite_defconfig

Could you please have a look to see if they shouldn't have a CONFIG_FB_PXA=y and
CONFIG_FB=y now with this change ?

Cheers.

Arguably that is a problem in Kconfig, and that applies to *all*
dependencies everywhere. It isn't something new to this patch.

For example, in the context of this patch you have:

  config HT16K33
	 tristate "Holtek Ht16K33 LED controller with keyscan"
	 depends on FB && OF && I2C && INPUT
 +	depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE

The same thing could be said about FB and OF and IC2 and INPUT for
HT16K33, right? Why would *backlight* be the tipping point that makes
this difficult to understand?

Yeah, I agree it's not straightforward, but I think depends is the right
choice, not select.

The effort for making this easier to understand should be directed at
the various menuconfig tools to better highlight the dependencies that
should be enabled to let you enable other options.

> How about somthing like this:

I think this is a hack in Kconfig files that should really be fixed in
the Kconfig tooling instead. IMHO Kconfig should be as simple a
description of the dependencies as possible, not so much a UI language.

FWIW the patch is

Arguably that is a problem in Kconfig, and that applies to *all*
dependencies everywhere. It isn't something new to this patch.

For example, in the context of this patch you have:

  config HT16K33
	 tristate "Holtek Ht16K33 LED controller with keyscan"
	 depends on FB && OF && I2C && INPUT
 +	depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE

The same thing could be said about FB and OF and IC2 and INPUT for
HT16K33, right? Why would *backlight* be the tipping point that makes
this difficult to understand?

Yeah, I agree it's not straightforward, but I think depends is the right
choice, not select.

The effort for making this easier to understand should be directed at
the various menuconfig tools to better highlight the dependencies that
should be enabled to let you enable other options.

> How about somthing like this:

I think this is a hack in Kconfig files that should really be fixed in
the Kconfig tooling instead. IMHO Kconfig should be as simple a
description of the dependencies as possible, not so much a UI language.

FWIW the patch is

I'm really all for switching to using depends when that is the
semantically right thing to do. In many places using select is a hack to
make the UI simpler, and that's just plain wrong. We'll be doomed to
perpetual randconfig build failures and duct tape fixes.

I'm pretty tired of this, and I regularly ignore those duct tape fixes
to i915 backlight build issues on some bizarre configs that nobody will
ever use, and would not exist if depends were used throughout.

I'm fine with select but only when it's restricted to symbols that have
no dependencies of their own and have no UI. This is in line with
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst. Not enforcing this is another
Kconfig tool shortcoming.

Re: [PATCH 5/8] drm/vmwgfx: make framebuffer support optional

Hi

IMHO, at some point console support will require a change where there's
a single config option enables/disables fbdev emulation for all drivers.
But this patch is a step in the right direction. Thanks!

Re: [PATCH 5/8] drm/vmwgfx: make framebuffer support optional

[Thomas Zimmermann]

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 8332 bytes --]

Hi

IMHO, at some point console support will require a change where there's
a single config option enables/disables fbdev emulation for all drivers.
But this patch is a step in the right direction. Thanks!

The changes I'm doing are mostly for fbdev, which is currently the
odd one out. Most kernel subsystems today follow the documented
recommendations and only use 'depends on' for things they
depend on.

Having fbdev be the exception causes two problems:

- It does not make kconfig any easier to use overall, just less consistent

E.g. today it is hard to turn off fbdev because that is selected by a
number of (partly unrelated) options, but there was a recent discussion
about getting distros to stop enabling fbdev out of security concerns.

The changes I'm doing are mostly for fbdev, which is currently the
odd one out. Most kernel subsystems today follow the documented
recommendations and only use 'depends on' for things they
depend on.

Having fbdev be the exception causes two problems:

- It does not make kconfig any easier to use overall, just less consistent
  when it is the only thing that implicitly turns on dependencies and
  for everything else one still has to look up what the dependencies are.

- Most of the problems with circular dependencies come from mixing
  the two methods, and most of the cases where they have caused

I also doubt switching lots of 'depends on' to 'select' all over Kconfig
would improve the situation on a global level. It would simplify the

I've done some history digging, this is the patch that started this all:

commit d2f59357700487a8b944f4f7777d1e97cf5ea2ed
Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

    drm/i915: select framebuffer support automatically

I.e. driver gets disabled because a new config is added which isn't
enabled. System doesn't boot, maintainer gets angry regression report,
select hack gets added.

Note on the specific example the code has been reworked enough that even
if you'd upgrade the kernel all that would get disabled now is the fbdev
emulation on top of drm drivers, not any of the drm drivers.

The above says we should have an automatic system for at least oldconfig
(but would be nice in menuconfig too), since "break user's kernel on
upgrade" isn't an option. And without that select is going to come back
somewhere and make a huge nasty mess: We're definitely not going to
fix Kconfig when fixing a regression in -rc kernels.

So in theory no need to convince me that select is terrible. Practice
disagrees unfortunately.

Gotta love a good commit message from a decade ago.

First, it says it's a migration helper. And that the problem
specifically is that the user has a working config *without* FB enabled
as a starting point.

Now, if the starting point for a new config *now* is less than ten years
old, and it had i915 enabled, it'll also have FB enabled. Because
select. The migration part has done its job, and I think we should be
good to make some progress.

The commit message also notes the problems of select.

Jani.

Gotta love a good commit message from a decade ago.

First, it says it's a migration helper. And that the problem
specifically is that the user has a working config *without* FB enabled
as a starting point.

Now, if the starting point for a new config *now* is less than ten years
old, and it had i915 enabled, it'll also have FB enabled. Because
select. The migration part has done its job, and I think we should be
good to make some progress.

The commit message also notes the problems of select.

It will indeed work with "make oldconfig", as an old config with
CONFIG_DRM_I915 enabled will have CONFIG_FB set.

However, that is not true when starting with a defconfig that has
CONFIG_DRM_I915 enabled: such a defconfig will not have CONFIG_FB set,
due to the trimming process when creating a minimal defconfig.

Hence when making the change from "select FB" to "depends on FB", you
have to make sure to update the affected defconfigs, too:

$ git grep CONFIG_DRM_I915 -- "*defconfig*"
arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig:CONFIG_DRM_I915=y
arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig:CONFIG_DRM_I915=y

To clarify what I was aiming for with my mail: I'm not worried about
fbdev here, I'm just worried that this will come back, and we'll grow
select somewhere else until it's become a big & totally horrible mess.
I think a lot of the backlight selects have also grown because of
this, so this isn't just a one-off I think.

If Arnd is happy to play "Kconfig select" whack-a-mole ever once in a
while (and deal with the intermediate compile horrors while everyone
upgrades) I'm ok with this landing. Just not terribly happy if the
underlying issue isn't fixed.

And I'll keep ignoring the IS_REACHABLE() patches that make i915 build
with a config that should not exist. ;)
