[PATCH v3 0/9] Devicetree build consolidation

[PATCH v3 0/9] Devicetree build consolidation

[Rob Herring]

This series addresses a couple of issues I have with building dts files.

First, the ability to build all the dts files in the tree. This has been
supported on most arches for some time with powerpc being the main
exception. The reason powerpc wasn't supported was it needed a change
in the location built dtb files are put.

Secondly, it's a pain to acquire all the cross-compilers needed to build
dtbs for each arch. There's no reason to build with the cross compiler and
the host compiler is perfectly fine as we only need the pre-processor.

I started addressing just those 2 problems, but kept finding small
differences such as target dependencies and dtbs_install support across
architectures. Instead of trying to align all these, I've consolidated the
build targets moving them out of the arch makefiles.

I'd like to take the series via the DT tree.

v3:
 - Rework dtc dependency to avoid 2 entry paths to scripts/dtc/. Essentially,
   I copied 'scripts_basic'.
 - Add missing scripts_basic dependency for dtc and missing PHONY tag.
 - Drop the '|' order only from dependencies
 - Drop %.dtb.S and %.dtb.o as top-level targets
 - PPC: remove duplicate mpc5200 dtbs from image-y targets

v2:
 - Fix $arch/boot/dts path check for out of tree builds
 - Fix dtc dependency for building built-in dtbs
 - Fix microblaze built-in dtb building
 - Add dtbs target for microblaze

Rob Herring (9):
  powerpc: build .dtb files in dts directory
  nios2: build .dtb files in dts directory
  nios2: use common rules to build built-in dtb
  nios2: fix building all dtbs
  c6x: use common built-in dtb support
  kbuild: consolidate Devicetree dtb build rules
  powerpc: enable building all dtbs
  c6x: enable building all dtbs
  microblaze: enable building all dtbs

[PATCH v3 6/9] kbuild: consolidate Devicetree dtb build rules

[Rob Herring]

There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their
location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain.
The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different.
Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host
compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the
build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This
is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules.

The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'.
These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler
(specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs.
All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be
dtc.

This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were
missing the target.

This can be true when dtstree is unset. So this line should be this
instead to fix the 0-day reported error:

ifneq ($(dtstree),)

Ah, right.
Even x86 can enable OF and OF_UNITTEST.



Another solution might be,
guard it by 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_OF'.



This is actually what ACPI does.

menuconfig ACPI
        bool "ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support"
        depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI
         ...

ACPI is a real platform feature, as it depends on firmware.

CONFIG_OF can be enabled, and DT overlays can be loaded, on any platform,
even if it has ACPI ;-)

Any other comments on this? I'd like to get the series into linux-next 
soon.

There was one other problem 0-day reported when building with 
CONFIG_OF=n while setting CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS=y on the kernel command 
line. The problem is dtc is not built as setting options on the command 
line doesn't invoke kconfig select(s). This can be fixed by also 
adding CONFIG_DTC=y to the command line, always building dtc regardless 
of Kconfig, or making 'all' conditionally dependent on 'dtbs'. I've gone 
with the last option as that is how this problem was avoided before. 

So the hunk in question with the 2 fixes now looks like this:

How would loading a DT overlay work on an ACPI platform? I.e., what
would it overlay against and how to practically load such a file?

I wonder whether that could be helpful for USB devices and serdev...

The DT unittests do just that. I run them on x86 and UM builds. In
this case, the loading source is built-in.

> I wonder whether that could be helpful for USB devices and serdev...

How to load the overlays is pretty orthogonal to the issues to be
solved here. It would certainly be possible to move forward with
prototyping this and just have the overlay built-in. It may not even
need to be an overlay if we can support multiple root nodes.

%.dtb: prepare3 prepare


because we need to make sure KERNELRELEASE
is correctly defined before dtbs_install happens.

dtbs: prepare3 scripts_dtc

Please do not have dtbs_install to depend on dtbs.

No install targets should ever trigger building anything
in the source tree.

You indeed need to refer to some anchors for most use cases, although a
simple MMIO device could just be anchored to the root node.

Topologies hanging off a USB device would be my first use case, too,
for serdev, or for e.g. the mcp2210 USB-SPI bridge.

I assume you didn't mean to drop scripts_dtc as that doesn't work.

Why "prepare" here and not on dtbs?

Yes, indeed. With prepare3 added I get:

cp: cannot create regular file
'/boot/dtbs/4.19.0-rc3-00009-g0afba9b7b2ea-dirty': No such file or
directory

vs. with it:

cp: cannot create regular file '/boot/dtbs/': Not a directory

Sorry, my mistake.


%.dtb: prepare3 scripts_dtc

is the correct one.
