Review Process, Git Tags
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of *git tags* that are used to document the origin and the
|
||||
processing of patches on their way into the mainline U-Boot code. The following
|
||||
is an attempt to document how these are usually handled in the U-Boot project.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, we try to follow the established procedures from other projects,
|
||||
especially the Linux kernel, but there may be smaller differences. For
|
||||
reference, see the Linux kernel's `Submitting patches
|
||||
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html>`_
|
||||
document.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _dco:
|
||||
|
||||
* Signed-off-by: the *Signed-off-by:* is a line at the end of the commit
|
||||
message by which the signer certifies that they were involved in the development
|
||||
of the patch and that they accept the `Developer Certificate of Origin
|
||||
<https://developercertificate.org/>`_. Following this and adding a
|
||||
``Signed-off-by:`` line that contains the developer's name and email address
|
||||
is required.
|
||||
|
||||
* Please note that in U-Boot, we do not add a ``Signed-off-by`` tag if we
|
||||
just pass on a patch without any changes.
|
||||
|
||||
* Please note that when importing code from other projects you must say
|
||||
where it comes from, and what revision you are importing. You must not
|
||||
however copy ``Signed-off-by`` or other tags.
|
||||
|
||||
* Everybody who can is invited to review and test the changes. Typically, we
|
||||
follow the same guidelines as the Linux kernel for `Acked-by
|
||||
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#when-to-use-acked-by-cc-and-co-developed-by>`_
|
||||
as well as `Reviewed-by
|
||||
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#using-reported-by-tested-by-reviewed-by-suggested-by-and-fixes>`_
|
||||
and similar additional tags.
|
||||
|
||||
* Reviewed-by: The patch has been reviewed and found acceptible according to
|
||||
the `Reveiwer's statement of oversight
|
||||
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#reviewer-s-statement-of-oversight>`_.
|
||||
A *Reviewed-by:* tag is a statement of opinion that the patch is an
|
||||
appropriate modification of the code without any remaining serious technical
|
||||
issues. Any interested reviewer (who has done the work) can offer a
|
||||
*Reviewed-by:* tag for a patch.
|
||||
|
||||
* Acked-by: If a person was not directly involved in the preparation or
|
||||
handling of a patch but wishes to signify and record their approval of it
|
||||
then they can arrange to have an *Acked-by:* line added to the patch's
|
||||
changelog.
|
||||
|
||||
* Tested-by: A *Tested-by:* tag indicates that the patch has been successfully
|
||||
tested (in some environment) by the person named. Andrew Morton: "I think
|
||||
it's very useful information to have. For a start, it tells you who has the
|
||||
hardware and knows how to build a kernel. So if you're making a change to a
|
||||
driver and want it tested, you can troll the file's changelog looking for
|
||||
people who might be able to help."
|
||||
|
||||
* Reported-by: If this patch fixes a problem reported by somebody else,
|
||||
consider adding a *Reported-by:* tag to credit the reporter for their
|
||||
contribution. Please note that this tag should not be added without the
|
||||
reporter's permission, especially if the problem was not reported in a public
|
||||
forum.
|
||||
|
||||
* Cc: If a person should have the opportunity to comment on a patch, you may
|
||||
optionally add a *Cc:* tag to the patch. Git tools (git send-email) will then
|
||||
automatically arrange that they receives a copy of the patch when you submit it
|
||||
to the mainling list. This is the only tag which might be added without an
|
||||
explicit action by the person it names. This tag documents that potentially
|
||||
interested parties have been included in the discussion.
|
||||
For example, when your change affects a specific board or driver, then makes
|
||||
a lot of sense to put the respective maintainer of this code on Cc:

Work flow of a Custodian
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The normal flow of work in the U-Boot development process will look
|
||||
like this:
|
||||
|
||||
#. A developer submits a patch via e-mail to the u-boot mailing list. In
|
||||
U-Boot, we make use of the `Developer Certificate of Origin
|
||||
<https://developercertificate.org/>`_ that is common in other projects such
|
||||
as the Linux kernel. Following this and adding a ``Signed-off-by:`` line
|
||||
that contains the developer's name and email address is required.
|
||||
|
||||
* Please note that when importing code from other projects you must say
|
||||
where it comes from, and what revision you are importing. You must not

however copy ``Signed-off-by`` or other tags.

Sending patches
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
.. toctree::
|
||||
:maxdepth: 2
|
||||
*Before you begin* to implement any new ideas or concepts it is always a good
|
||||
idea to present your plans on the `U-Boot mailing list
|
||||
<https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot>`_. U-Boot supports a huge amount of
|
||||
very different systems, and it is often impossible for the individual developer
|
||||
to oversee the consequences of a specific change to all architectures.
|
||||
Discussing concepts early can help you to avoid spending effort on code which,
|
||||
when submitted as a patch, might be rejected and/or will need lots of rework
|
||||
because it does not fit for some reason. Early peer review is an important
|
||||
resource - use it. Being familiar with the :doc:`process` is also important.
|
||||
|
||||
patman
|
||||
A good introduction how to prepare for submitting patches can be found in the
|
||||
LWN article `How to Get Your Change Into the Linux Kernel
|
||||
<http://lwn.net/Articles/139918/>`_ as the same rules apply to U-Boot, too.
|
||||
|
||||
Using patman
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can use a tool called patman to prepare, check and sent patches. It creates
|
||||
change logs, cover letters and patch notes. It also simplified the process of
|
||||
sending multiple versions of a series.
|
||||
|
||||
See more details at :doc:`patman`.
|
||||
|
||||
General Patch Submission Rules
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* All patches must be sent to the `u-boot@lists.denx.de
|
||||
<https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot>`_ mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
* If your patch affects the code maintained by one of the :ref:`custodians`, CC
|
||||
them when emailing your patch. The easiest way to make sure you don't forget
|
||||
this even when you resubmit the patch later is to add a ``Cc: name
|
||||
<address>`` line after your ``Signed-off-by:`` line (see the example below).
|
||||
|
||||
* Take a look at the commit logs of the files you are modifying. Authors of
|
||||
past commits might have input to your change, so also CC them if you think
|
||||
they may have feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
* Patches should always contain exactly one complete logical change, i. e.
|
||||
|
||||
* Changes that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be submitted
|
||||
as *separate* patches, one patch per changeset.
|
||||
|
||||
* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several files, all
|
||||
these changes shall be submitted in a *single* patch.
|
||||
|
||||
* Non-functional changes, i.e. whitespace and reformatting changes, should be
|
||||
done in separate patches marked as ``cosmetic``. This separation of functional
|
||||
and cosmetic changes greatly facilitates the review process.
|
||||
|
||||
* Some comments on running :doc:`checkpatch.pl <checkpatch>`:
|
||||
|
||||
* Checkpatch is a tool that can help you find some style problems, but is
|
||||
imperfect, and the things it complains about are of varying importance.
|
||||
So use common sense in interpreting the results.
|
||||
|
||||
* Warnings that clearly only make sense in the Linux kernel can be ignored.
|
||||
This includes ``Use #include <linux/$file> instead of <asm/$file>`` for
|
||||
example.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you encounter warnings for existing code, not modified by your patch,
|
||||
consider submitting a separate, cosmetic-only patch -- clearly described
|
||||
as such -- that *precedes* your substantive patch.
|
||||
|
||||
* For minor modifications (e.g. changed arguments of a function call),
|
||||
adhere to the present codingstyle of the module. Relating checkpatch
|
||||
warnings can be ignored in this case. A respective note in the commit or
|
||||
cover letter why they are ignored is desired.
|
||||
|
||||
* Send your patches as plain text messages: no HTML, no MIME, no links, no
|
||||
compression, no attachments. Just plain text. The best way the generate
|
||||
patches is by using the ``git format-patch`` command. Please use the
|
||||
``master`` branch of the mainline U-Boot git repository
|
||||
(``https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git``) as reference, unless (usually
|
||||
late in a release cycle) there has been an announcement to use the ``next``
|
||||
branch of this repository instead.
|
||||
|
||||
* Make sure that your mailer does not mangle the patch by automatic changes
|
||||
like wrapping of longer lines etc.
|
||||
The best way to send patches is by not using your regular mail tool, but by
|
||||
using either ``git send-email`` or the ``git imap-send`` command instead.
|
||||
If you believe you need to use a mailing list for testing (instead of any
|
||||
regular mail address you own), we have a special test list for such purposes.
|
||||
It would be best to subscribe to the list for the duration of your tests to
|
||||
avoid repeated moderation - see https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/test
|
||||
|
||||
* Choose a meaningful Subject: - keep in mind that the Subject will also be
|
||||
visible as headline of your commit message. Make sure the subject does not
|
||||
exceed 60 characters or so.
|
||||
|
||||
* The start of the subject should be a meaningfull tag (arm:, ppc:, tegra:,
|
||||
net:, ext2:, etc)
|
||||
|
||||
* Include the string "PATCH" in the Subject: line of your message, e. g.
|
||||
"[PATCH] Add support for feature X". ``git format-patch`` should automatically
|
||||
do this.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you are sending a patch series composed of multiple patches, make sure
|
||||
their titles clearly state the patch order and total number of patches (``git
|
||||
format-patch -n``). Also, often times an introductory email describing what
|
||||
the patchset does is useful (``git format-patch -n --cover-letter``). As an
|
||||
example::
|
||||
|
||||
[PATCH 0/3] Add support for new SuperCPU2000
|
||||
(This email does not contain a patch, just a description)
|
||||
[PATCH 1/3] Add core support for SuperCPU2000
|
||||
[PATCH 2/3] Add support for SuperCPU2000's on-chip I2C controller
|
||||
[PATCH 3/3] Add support for SuperCPU2000's on-chip UART
|
||||
|
||||
* In the message body, include a description of your changes.
|
||||
|
||||
* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes this bug.
|
||||
Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the patch actually fixes
|
||||
something.
|
||||
|
||||
* For new features: a description of the feature and your implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
* Additional comments which you don't want included in U-Boot's history can be
|
||||
included below the first "---" in the message body.
|
||||
|
||||
* If your description gets too long, that's a strong indication that you should
|
||||
split up your patch.
|
||||
|
||||
* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB on the mailing list. In most
|
||||
cases, you did something wrong if your patch exceeds this limit. Think again
|
||||
if you should not split it into separate logical parts.
|
||||
|
||||
Attributing Code, Copyrights, Signing
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Sign your changes, i. e. add a *Signed-off-by:* line to the message body.
|
||||
This can be automated by using ``git commit -s``. Please see the
|
||||
:ref:`Developer Certificate of Origin <dco>` section for more details here.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you change or add *significant* parts to a file, then please make sure to
|
||||
add your copyright to that file, for example like this::
|
||||
|
||||
(C) Copyright 2010 Joe Hacker <jh@hackers.paradise.com>
|
||||
|
||||
Please do *not* include a detailed description of your
|
||||
changes. We use the *git* commit messages for this purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you add new files, please always make sure that these contain your
|
||||
copyright note and a GPLv2+ SPDX-License-Identifier, for example like this::
|
||||
|
||||
(C) Copyright 2010 Joe Hacker <jh@hackers.paradise.com>
|
||||
|
||||
SPDX-License-Identifier:<TAB>GPL-2.0+
|
||||
|
||||
* If you are copying or adapting code from other projects, like the Linux
|
||||
kernel, or BusyBox, or similar, please make sure to state clearly where you
|
||||
copied the code from, and provide terse but precise information which exact
|
||||
version or even commit ID was used. Follow the ideas of this note from the
|
||||
Linux "SubmittingPatches" document::
|
||||
|
||||
Special note to back-porters: It seems to be a common and useful practice
|
||||
to insert an indication of the origin of a patch at the top of the commit
|
||||
message (just after the subject line) to facilitate tracking. For instance,
|
||||
here's what we see in 2.6-stable :
|
||||
|
||||
Date: Tue May 13 19:10:30 2008 +0000
|
||||
|
||||
SCSI: libiscsi regression in 2.6.25: fix nop timer handling
|
||||
|
||||
commit 4cf1043593db6a337f10e006c23c69e5fc93e722 upstream
|
||||
|
||||
And here's what appears in 2.4 :
|
||||
|
||||
Date: Tue May 13 22:12:27 2008 +0200
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
[backport of 2.6 commit b7acbdfbd1f277c1eb23f344f899cfa4cd0bf36a]
|
||||
|
||||
Whatever the format, this information provides a valuable help to people
|
||||
tracking your trees, and to people trying to trouble-shoot bugs in your
|
||||
tree.
|
||||
|
||||
Commit message conventions
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Please adhere to the following conventions when writing your commit
|
||||
log messages.
|
||||
|
||||
* The first line of the log message is the summary line. Keep this less than 70
|
||||
characters long.
|
||||
|
||||
* Don't use periods to end the summary line (e.g., don't do "Add support for
|
||||
X.")
|
||||
|
||||
* Use the present tense in your summary line (e.g., "Add support for X" rather
|
||||
than "Added support for X"). Furthermore, use the present tense in your log
|
||||
message to describe what the patch is doing. This isn't a strict rule -- it's
|
||||
OK to use the past tense for describing things that were happening in the old
|
||||
code for example.
|
||||
|
||||
* Use the imperative tense in your summary line (e.g., "Add support for X"
|
||||
rather than "Adds support for X"). In general, you can think of the summary
|
||||
line as "this commit is meant to 'Add support for X'"
|
||||
|
||||
* If applicable, prefix the summary line with a word describing what area of
|
||||
code is being affected followed by a colon. This is a standard adopted by
|
||||
both U-Boot and Linux. For example, if your change affects all mpc85xx
|
||||
boards, prefix your summary line with "mpc85xx:". If your change affects the
|
||||
PCI common code, prefix your summary line with "pci:". The best thing to do
|
||||
is look at the "git log <file>" output to see what others have done so you
|
||||
don't break conventions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Insert a blank line after the summary line
|
||||
|
||||
* For bug fixes, it's good practice to briefly describe how things behaved
|
||||
before this commit
|
||||
|
||||
* Put a detailed description after the summary and blank line. If the summary
|
||||
line is sufficient to describe the change (e.g. it is a trivial spelling
|
||||
correction or whitespace update), you can omit the blank line and detailed
|
||||
description.
|
||||
|
||||
* End your log message with S.O.B. (Signed-off-by) line. This is done
|
||||
automatically when you use ``git commit -s``. Please see the
|
||||
:ref:`Developer Certificate of Origin <dco>` section for more details here.
|
||||
|
||||
* Keep EVERY line under 72 characters. That is, your message should be
|
||||
line-wrapped with line-feeds. However, don't get carried away and wrap it too
|
||||
short either since this also looks funny.
|
||||
|
||||
* Detail level: The audience of the commit log message that you should cater to
|
||||
is those familiar with the underlying source code you are modifying, but who
|
||||
are _not_ familiar with the patch you are submitting. They should be able to
|
||||
determine what is being changed and why. Avoid excessive low-level detail.
|
||||
Before submitting, re-read your commit log message with this audience in mind
|
||||
and adjust as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Sending updated patch versions
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
It is pretty normal that the first version of a patch you are submitting does
|
||||
not get accepted as is, and that you are asked to submit another, improved
|
||||
version.
|
||||
|
||||
When re-posting such a new version of your patch(es), please always make sure
|
||||
to observe the following rules.
|
||||
|
||||
* Make an appropriate note that this is a re-submission in the subject line,
|
||||
eg. "[PATCH v2] Add support for feature X". ``git format-patch
|
||||
--subject-prefix="PATCH v2"`` can be used in this case (see the example
|
||||
below).
|
||||
|
||||
* Please make sure to keep a "change log", i. e. a description of what you have
|
||||
changed compared to previous versions of this patch. This change log should
|
||||
be added below the "---" line in the patch, which starts the "comment

|
||||
Note: it is *not* sufficient to provide a change log in some cover letter

|

that such cover letters are not as easily reviewed in our `patchwork queue
|

<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/>`_ so they are not helpful
|
||||
to any reviewers using this tool. Example::

* Make sure that your mailer adds or keeps correct ``In-reply-to:`` and
|
||||
``References:`` headers, so threading of messages is working and everybody
|
||||
can see that the new message refers to some older posting of the same topic.
|
||||
|
||||
Uncommented and un-threaded repostings are extremely annoying and
|
||||
time-consuming, as we have to try to remember if anything similar has been
|
||||
posted before, look up the old threads, and then manually compare if anything
|
||||
has been changed, or what.

Notes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
1. U-Boot is Free Software that can redistributed and/or modified under the
|
||||
terms of the `GNU General Public License
|
||||
<http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl.html>`_ (GPL). Currently (August
|
||||
2022) version 2 of the GPL applies. Please see :download:`Licensing
|
||||
<../../Licenses/README>` for details. To allow that later versions of U-Boot
|
||||
may be released under a later version of the GPL, all new code that gets
|
||||
added to U-Boot shall use a "GPL-2.0+" SPDX-License-Identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
2. All code must follow the :doc:`codingstyle` requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Before sending the patch, you *must* run some form of local testing.
|
||||
Submitting a patch that does not build or function correct is a mistake. For
|
||||
non-trivial patches, either building a number of platforms locally or making
|
||||
use of :doc:`ci_testing` is strongly encouraged in order to avoid problems
|
||||
that can be found when attempting to merge the patch.
|
||||
|
||||
4. If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not add to
|
||||
the memory footprint of the code. Remember: Small is beautiful! When adding
|
||||
new features follow the guidelines laid out in :doc:`system_configuration`.
|
||||
|
||||
Patch Tracking
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Like some other projects, U-Boot uses `Patchwork <http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/>`_
|
||||
to track the state of patches. This is one of the reasons why it is mandatory
|
||||
to submit all patches to the U-Boot mailing list - only then they will be
|
||||
picked up by patchwork.
|
||||
|
||||
At http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/ you can find the list of
|
||||
open U-Boot patches. By using the "Filters" link (Note: requires JavaScript)
|
||||
you can also select other views, for example, to include old patches that have,
|
||||
for example, already been applied or rejected.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Patchwork automatically tracks and collects a number of git tags from
|
||||
follow-up mails, so it is usually better to apply a patch through the Patchwork
|
||||
commandline interface than just manually applying it from a posting on the
|
||||
mailing list (in which case you have to do all the tracking and adding of git
|
||||
tags yourself). This also obviates the need of a developer to resubmit a patch
|
||||
only in order to collect these tags.
|
||||
|
||||
A Custodian has additional privileges and can:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Delegate** a patch
|
||||
|
||||
* **Change the state** of a patch. The following states exist:
|
||||
|
||||
* New
|
||||
|
||||
* Under Review
|
||||
|
||||
* Accepted
|
||||
|
||||
* Rejected
|
||||
|
||||
* RFC
|
||||
|
||||
* Not Applicable
|
||||
|
||||
* Changes Requested
|
||||
|
||||
* Awaiting Upstream
|
||||
|
||||
* Superseeded
|
||||
|
||||
* Deferred
|
||||
|
||||
* Archived
|
||||
|
||||
Patchwork work-flow
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The following are a "rule of thumb" as to how the states are used in patchwork
|
||||
today. Not all states are used by all custodians.
|
||||
|
||||
* New: Patch has been submitted to the list, and none of the maintainers has
|
||||
changed it's state since.
|
||||
|
||||
* Under Review: A custodian is reviewing the patch currently.
|
||||
|
||||
* Accepted: When a patch has been applied to a custodian repository that gets
|
||||
used for pulling from into upstream, they are put into "accepted" state.
|
||||
|
||||
* Rejected: Rejected means we just don't want to do what the patch does.
|
||||
|
||||
* RFC: The patch is not intended to be applied to any of the mainline
|
||||
repositories, but merely for discussing or testing some idea or new feature.
|
||||
|
||||
* Not Applicable: The patch either was not intended to be applied, as it was
|
||||
a debugging or discussion aide that patchwork picked up, or was cross-posted
|
||||
to our list but intended for another project entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
* Changes Requested: The patch looks mostly OK, but requires some rework before
|
||||
it will be accepted for mainline.
|
||||
|
||||
* Awaiting Upstream: A custodian may have applied this to the ``next`` branch
|
||||
and has not merged yet to master, or has queued the patch up to be submitted
|
||||
to be merged, but has not yet.
|
||||
|
||||
* Superseeded: Patches are marked as 'superseeded' when the poster submits a
|
||||
new version of these patches.
|
||||
|
||||
* Deferred: Deferred usually means the patch depends on something else that
|
||||
isn't upstream, such as patches that only apply against some specific other
|
||||
repository. This is also used when a patch has been in patchwork for over a
|
||||
year and it is unlikely to be applied as-is.
|
||||
|
||||
* Archived: Archiving puts the patch away somewhere where it doesn't appear in
|
||||
the normal pages and needs extra effort to get to.
|
||||
|
||||
Apply patches
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
To apply a patch from the `patchwork queue
|
||||
<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/>`_ using ``git``, download the
|
||||
mbox file and apply it using::
|
||||
|
||||
git am file
|
||||
|
||||
The `openembedded wiki <http://wiki.openembedded.net/>`_ also provides a script
|
||||
named `pw-am.sh
|
||||
<http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/contrib/patchwork/pw-am.sh>`_
|
||||
which can be used to fetch an 'mbox' patch from patchwork and git am it::
|
||||
|
||||
usage: pw-am.sh <number>
|
||||
example: 'pw-am.sh 71002' will get and apply the patch from http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/71002/
|
||||
|
||||
Update the state of patches
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
You have to register to be able to update the state of patches. You can use the
|
||||
Web interface, `pwclient`, or `pwparser`.
|
||||
|
||||
pwclient
|
||||
^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The `pwclient` command line tool can be used for example to retrieve patches,
|
||||
search the queue or update the state.
|
||||
|
||||
All necessary information for `pwclient` is linked from the bottom of
|
||||
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/
|
||||
|
||||
Use::
|
||||
|
||||
pwclient help
|
||||
|
||||
for an overview on how to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
pwparser
|
||||
