Changing the value of CONFIG_DEV_BLK_INITRD is a common thing with build systems that generate two kernels: one with the initramfs and one without. buildroot is one of these build systems, OpenWrt is also another one that does this. This patch series proposes adding an empty initrd.h to satisfy the need for drivers/of/fdt.c to unconditionally include that file, and moves the custom __early_init_dt_declare_initrd() definition away from asm/memory.h This cuts the number of objects rebuilds from 1920 down to 26, so a factor 73 approximately. Apologies for the long CC list, please let me know how you would go about merging that and if another approach would be preferable, e.g: introducing a CONFIG_ARCH_INITRD_BELOW_START_OK Kconfig option or something like that. Changes in v2: - put an /* empty */ comment in the asm-generic/initrd.h file - trim down the CC list to maximize the chances of people receiving this Florian Fainelli (2): arch: Add asm-generic/initrd.h and make use of it for most architectures arm64: Create asm/initrd.h arch/alpha/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/arc/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/arm/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/arm64/include/asm/initrd.h | 13 +++++++++++++ arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h | 8 -------- arch/c6x/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/h8300/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/hexagon/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/ia64/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/m68k/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/microblaze/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/mips/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/nds32/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/nios2/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/openrisc/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/parisc/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/powerpc/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/riscv/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/s390/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/sh/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/sparc/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/um/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/unicore32/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/x86/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + arch/xtensa/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 + drivers/of/fdt.c | 1 + include/asm-generic/initrd.h | 1 + 27 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/arm64/include/asm/initrd.h create mode 100644 include/asm-generic/initrd.h -- 2.17.1
