kbuild: create directory for dir/file.o When add a obj with dir to obj-y, like this obj-y += dir/file.o The $(obj)/dir not created, this patch fix this. When try to add a file(which in a subdir) to my board's obj-y, the build progress crashed. For example, I use at91rm9200ek board, and in kernel dir run: mkdir objtree make O=objtree at91rm9200_defconfig mkdir arch/arm/mach-at91/dir touch arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c and edit arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c to add some code. then edit arch/arm/mach-at91/Makefile, change the following line: obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o to: obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o dir/file.o Now build it: make O=objtree Then the error appears: ...

It seems that kbuild create dirs for that in $(obj-dirs). But if the dir need not to create a built-in.o, It should never in $(obj-dirs).

gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).

kbuild: create an "include chroot" for DT bindings The recent dtc+cpp support allows header files and C pre-processor defines/macros to be used when compiling device tree files. These headers will typically define various constants that are part of the device tree bindings. The original patch which set up the dtc+cpp include path only considered using those headers from device tree files. However, most are also useful for kernel code which needs to interpret the device tree. In both the DT files and the kernel, I'd like to include the DT-related headers in the same way, for example, <dt-bindings/gpio/tegra-gpio.h>. That will simplify any text which discusses the DT header locations. Creating a <dt-bindings/> for kernel source to use is as simple as placing files into include/dt-bindings/. However, when compiling DT files, the include path should be restricted so that only the dt-bindings path is available; arbitrary kernel headers shouldn't be exposed. For this reason, create a specific include directory for use by dtc+cpp, and symlink dt-bindings from there to the actual location of include/dt-bindings/. For want of a better location, place this "include chroot" into the existing dts/ directory. arch/*/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings -> ../../../../../include/dt-bindings Some headers used by device tree files may not be useful to the kernel; they may be used simply to aid in constructing the DT file (e.g. macros to create a node), but not define any information that the kernel needs to share. These may be placed directly into arch/*/boot/dts/ along with the DT files themselves.

kbuild: dtbs_install: new make target Unlike other build products in the Linux kernel, there is no 'make *install' mechanism to put devicetree blobs in a standard place. This commit adds a new 'dtbs_install' make target which copies all of the dtbs into the INSTALL_DTBS_PATH directory. INSTALL_DTBS_PATH can be set before calling make to change the default install directory. If not set then it defaults to: $INSTALL_PATH/dtbs/$KERNELRELEASE. This is done to keep dtbs from different kernel versions separate until things have settled down. Once the dtbs are stable, and not so strongly linked to the kernel version, the devicetree files will most likely move to their own repo. Users will need to upgrade install scripts at that time. v7: (reworked by Grant Likely) - Moved rules from arch/arm/Makefile to arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile so that each dtb install could have a separate target and be reported as part of the make output. - Fixed dependency problem to ensure $KERNELRELEASE is calculated before attempting to install - Removed option to call external script. Copying the files should be sufficient and a build system can post-process the install directory. Despite the fact an external script is used for installing the kernel, I don't think that is a pattern that should be encouraged. I would rather see buildroot type tools post process the install directory to rename or move dtb files after installing to a staging directory. - Plus it is easy to add a hook after the fact without blocking the rest of this feature. - Move the helper targets into scripts/Makefile.lib with the rest of the common dtb rules Signed-off-by: Jason Cooper <jason@lakedaemon.net> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rob Herring <robh+dt@kernel.org>

# XZ
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Use xzkern to compress the kernel image and xzmisc to compress other things.
#
# xzkern uses a big LZMA2 dictionary since it doesn't increase memory usage
# of the kernel decompressor. A BCJ filter is used if it is available for
# the target architecture. xzkern also appends uncompressed size of the data
# using size_append. The .xz format has the size information available at
# the end of the file too, but it's in more complex format and it's good to
# avoid changing the part of the boot code that reads the uncompressed size.
# Note that the bytes added by size_append will make the xz tool think that
# the file is corrupt. This is expected.
#
# xzmisc doesn't use size_append, so it can be used to create normal .xz
# files. xzmisc uses smaller LZMA2 dictionary than xzkern, because a very
# big dictionary would increase the memory usage too much in the multi-call
# decompression mode. A BCJ filter isn't used either.
