ARM: 9102/1: move theinstall rules to arch/arm/Makefile

2021-08-10T11:16:07Z

Currently, the (z/u)install targets in arch/arm/Makefile descend into arch/arm/boot/Makefile to invoke the shell script, but there is no good reason to do so. arch/arm/Makefile can run the shell script directly. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle)

kbuild: remove redundant target cleaning on failure

2019-01-06T00:46:51Z

Since commit 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target"), the target file is automatically deleted on failure. The boilerplate code ... || { rm -f $@; false; } is unneeded. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

ARM: XIP kernel: store .data compressed in ROM

2017-09-10T23:34:53Z

The .data segment stored in ROM is only copied to RAM once at boot time and never referenced afterwards. This is arguably a suboptimal usage of ROM resources. This patch allows for compressing the .data segment before storing it into ROM and decompressing it to RAM rather than simply copying it, saving on precious ROM space. Because global data is not available yet (obviously) we must allocate decompressor workspace memory on the stack. The .bss area is used as a stack area for that purpose before it is cleared. The required stack frame is 9568 bytes for __inflate_kernel_data() alone, so make sure the .bss is large enough to cope with that plus extra room for called functions or fail the build. Those numbers were picked arbitrarily based on the above 9568 byte stack frame: 10240 (2.5 * PAGE_SIZE): used to override -Wframe-larger-than whose default value is 1024. 12288 (3 * PAGE_SIZE): minimum .bss size to contain the stack.

ARM: 8588/1: localise objcopy flags

2016-08-12T15:47:01Z

We currently define OBJCOPYFLAGS in the top-level arm Makefile, and thus these flags will be passed to all uses of objcopy, kernel-wide, for which they are not explicitly overridden. The flags we set are intended for converting a few ELF files into raw binaries, and thus the flags chosen are problematic for some other uses which do not expect a raw binary result, e.g. the upcoming lkdtm rodata test: http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2016/06/08/2 This patch localises the objcopy flags such that they are only used for the cases we require them for today.

ARM: 8576/1: avoid duplicating "Kernel: arch/arm/boot/*Image is ready"

2016-06-22T18:55:12Z

Commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images") fixed bad image generation for the parallel building, but as its side effect, Kbuild now descends into arch/arm/boot/ again and again, duplicating the log messages. It looks clumsy, so let's display the same message only once. This commit moves the log rules from arch/arm/boot/Makefile to arch/arm/Makefile. I did not delete them completely because *Image are the final targets that users are interested in. Without this commit, the log of incremental build is like follows: $ make ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x80208000 uImage CHK include/config/kernel.release CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CHK include/generated/bounds.h CHK include/generated/timeconst.h CHK include/generated/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready Image arch/arm/boot/uImage is ready With this commit, it will look like follows: $ make ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x80208000 uImage CHK include/config/kernel.release CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CHK include/generated/bounds.h CHK include/generated/timeconst.h CHK include/generated/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready Kernel: arch/arm/boot/uImage is ready Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Russell King

kbuild: delete unnecessary "@:"

2016-04-20T08:36:57Z

Since commit 2aedcd098a94 ('kbuild: suppress annoying "... is up to date." message'), $(call if_changed,...) is evaluated to "@:" when there is nothing to do. We no longer need to add "@:" after $(call if_changed,...) to suppress "... is up to date." message. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

ARM: 8529/1: remove 'i' and 'zi' targets

2016-02-16T16:33:41Z

These two targets were introduced by commit 13d5fadf45d1 ("[ARM] Make 'i' and 'zi' targets work") to short-circuit the dependencies for 'install' and 'zinstall'. After that, commit 19514fc665ff ('arm, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux') eventually made "(z)install" equivalent to "(z)i". It is true that 'i' and 'zi' might be still useful as shorthands but the original intention had been already lost. They do not even show up in "make ARCH=arm help", so I hope this deletion does not have much impact. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Russell King
