      initramfs: restore default compression behavior · 785d74ec
      Eugeniy Paltsev authored
      
      Even though INITRAMFS_SOURCE kconfig option isn't set in most of
      defconfigs it is used (set) extensively by various build systems.
      Commit f26661e1 ("initramfs: make initramfs compression choice
      non-optional") has changed default compression mode. Previously we
      compress initramfs using available compression algorithm. Now
      we don't use any compression at all by default.
      It significantly increases the image size in case of build system
      chooses embedded initramfs. Initially I faced with this issue while
      using buildroot.
      
      As of today it's not possible to set preferred compression mode
      in target defconfig as this option depends on INITRAMFS_SOURCE
      being set. Modification of all build systems either doesn't look
      like good option.
      
      Let's instead rewrite initramfs compression mode choices list
      the way that "INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE" will be the last option
      in the list. In that case it will be chosen only if all other
      options (which implements any compression) are not available.

      initramfs: do not show compression mode choice if INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty · d4e9056d
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Since commit ddd09bcc ("initramfs: make compression options not
      depend on INITRAMFS_SOURCE"), Kconfig asks the compression mode for
      the built-in initramfs regardless of INITRAMFS_SOURCE.
      
      It is technically simpler, but pointless from a UI perspective,
      Linus says [1].
      
      When INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty, usr/Makefile creates a tiny default
      cpio, which is so small that nobody cares about the compression.
      
      This commit hides the Kconfig choice in that case. The default cpio
      is embedded without compression, which was the original behavior.

      kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y · 5f2fb52f
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
      programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
      
      It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
      selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
      
      This commit renames like follows:
      
        always       ->  always-y
        hostprogs-y  ->  hostprogs
      
      So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
      
        always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
        always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS)    += ...
            ...
        hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
      
      I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
      program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
      which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
      
      The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
      compatibility for a while.

      gen_initramfs_list.sh: fix 'bad variable name' error · cc976614
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      Prior to commit 858805b3 ("kbuild: add $(BASH) to run scripts with
      bash-extension"), this shell script was almost always run by bash since
      bash is usually installed on the system by default.
      
      Now, this script is run by sh, which might be a symlink to dash. On such
      distributions, the following code emits an error:
      
        local dev=`LC_ALL=C ls -l "${location}"`
      
      You can reproduce the build error, for example by setting
      CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/dev".
      
          GEN     usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz
        ./usr/gen_initramfs_list.sh: 131: local: 1: bad variable name
        make[1]: *** [usr/Makefile:61: usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 2
      
      This is because `LC_ALL=C ls -l "${location}"` contains spaces.
      Surrounding it with double-quotes fixes the error.

      kbuild: move headers_check rule to usr/include/Makefile · 7ecaf069

      Currently, some sanity checks for uapi headers are done by

      It is true compiling headers has better test coverage, but there
      are still several headers excluded from the compile test. I like
      to keep headers_check.pl for a while, but we can delete a lot of
      code by moving the build rule to usr/include/Makefile.

      There are both positive and negative options about this feature.

      ). I admit it
      is ugly and annoying.
      
      The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers.
      (Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness
      of the exported headers.)
      
      I will maintain a small build rule in usr/include/Makefile.

      kbuild: compile-test exported headers to ensure they are self-contained · d6fc9fcb
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      Multiple people have suggested compile-testing UAPI headers to ensure
      they can be really included from user-space. "make headers_check" is
      obviously not enough to catch bugs, and we often leak unresolved
      references to user-space.
      
      Use the new header-test-y syntax to implement it. Please note exported
      headers are compile-tested with a completely different set of compiler
      flags. The header search path is set to $(objtree)/usr/include since
      exported headers should not include unexported ones.
      
      We use -std=gnu89 for the kernel space since the kernel code highly
      depends on GNU extensions. On the other hand, UAPI headers should be
      written in more standardized C, so they are compiled with -std=c90.
      This will emit errors if C++ style comments, the keyword 'inline', etc.
      are used. Please use C style comments (/* ... */), '__inline__', etc.
      in UAPI headers.
      
      There is additional compiler requirement to enable this test because
      many of UAPI headers include <stdlib.h>, <sys/ioctl.h>, <sys/time.h>,
      etc. directly or indirectly. You cannot use kernel.org pre-built
      toolchains [1] since they lack <stdlib.h>.
      
      I reused CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK to check the system header availability.
      The intention is slightly different, but a compiler that can link
      userspace programs provide system headers.
      
      For now, a lot of headers need to be excluded because they cannot
      be compiled standalone, but this is a good start point.
