linux: add blind kconfig option to require kernel modules
Currently, packages that need the kernel to have support for laodable
modules have two ways to require it:
- either the use the kernel-module infra, which does it automatically,
- or they do not use it, and they need to require it manually by
setting the corresponding Makefile variable; however, they must only
set it when they are actually enabled, which makes for a slightly
cumbersome and ugly code, like:
ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_FOO),y)
LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES = y
endif
Introduce a new blind Kconfig option that packages can select to signify
they need kernel modules. That Kconfig option is then used to set the
Makefile variable.
It makes it cleaner:
- code is simpler (one Kconfig line instead of a Makefile if-block,
- this is handled at the Kconfig level, which is where we usually
handle such dependencies.
Packages will be updated in follow-up commits.

linux: allow the selection of the architecture's default configuration
To configure the Linux kernel, we currently provide two options:
1. Passing a defconfig name (for example "multi_v7"), to which we append
"_defconfig" to run "make multi_v7_defconfig".
2. Passing a path to a custom configuration file.
Unfortunately, those two possibilities do not allow to configure the
kernel when you want to use the default configuration built into the
kernel for a given architecture. For example, on ARM64, there is a
single defconfig simply called "defconfig", which you can load by
running "make defconfig".
Using the mechanism (1) above doesn't work because we append
"_defconfig" automatically.
One solution would be to change (1) and require the user to enter the
full defconfig named (i.e "multi_v7_defconfig" instead of "multi_v7"),
but we would break all existing Buildroot configurations.
So instead, we add a third option, which simply tells Buildroot to use
the default configuration for the selected architecture. In this case,
Buildroot will configure the kernel by running "make defconfig".

This option will use the default configuration for the
|
|
|
|
|
selected architecture. I.e, it is equivalent to running
|
|
|
|
|
"make ARCH=<foo> defconfig". This is useful on architectures

|

|
|
that have a single defconfig file, such as ARM64.

New, simpler, infrastructure for building the Linux kernel
This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.

linux: select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS instead of BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE
A long time ago, the blind config option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE
was introduced to be able to trigger the linux -> host-uboot-tools
dependency. Back in those days, there was no user-configurable
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS.
Now, however, it is possible to select a custom kernel image name that
needs uboot-tools, and manually enable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS. In
this case, however, the linux -> host-uboot-tools is missed and the
build is not reproducible. An example of such a situation is the
upcoming CI40 defconfig.
As a solution, remove BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE entirely. Instead,
just select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS and add the dependency if it
is selected.
Note that this may introduce a redundant dependency in case the user
selected BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS for some other reason (e.g. to
be able to generate a U-Boot environment to include in the image, while
the kernel is built as a zImage). However, the redundant dependency
shouldn't hurt much.

New, simpler, infrastructure for building the Linux kernel
This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.

linux: make BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTB_IS_SELF_BUILT public
Currently the BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTB_IS_SELF_BUILT option is only
available to be selected by another config option. This option controls
if the Linux build system should build the DTB itself, or if buildroot
explicitly calls the Linux Makefile like "make something.dtb".
My use case: I want to build an OpenRISC image with a custom device tree
file. OpenRISC does not support appended DTBs, and I'm not using a
bootloader, but link everything into a single kernel (vmlinux) image.
The kernel option CONFIG_OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB allows me to specify a dtb
file, which is typically located in the kernel source tree in
arch/openrisc/boot/dts/NAME.dts.
Since my dts file is not part of the upstream kernel, I have two
options: either patch the kernel to include the DTS file, and then
specify it using the CONFIG_OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB option.
Or use buildroot's BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_DTS_PATH config option to
copy any DTS file to the kernel source tree, and then specify this file
with CONFIG_OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB as before.
However, the second option also requries the buildroot option
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTB_IS_SELF_BUILT to be set, otherwise I end up with a
"make -C kerneldir NAME.dts" call, which doesn't work (no such target
exists).
Currently the BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTB_IS_SELF_BUILT option exists, but it's
not visible/available. Simply making it available solves the problem for
me nicely.

# Linux tools

linux/tools: make it a real, separate package
The kernel source tree also contains the sources for various userland
tools, of which cpupower, perf or selftests.
Currently, we have support for building those tools as part of the
kernel build procedure. This looked the correct thing to do so far,
because, well, they *are* part of the kernel source tree and some
really have to be the same version as the kernel that will run.
However, this is causing quite a non-trivial-to-break circular
dependency in some configurations. For example, this defconfig fails to
build (similar to the one reported by Paul):
BR2_arm=y
BR2_cortex_a7=y
BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_VFPV4=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="26f3b72a9c049be10e6af196252283e1f6ab9d1f"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="bcm2709"
BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_CPUPOWER=y
BR2_PACKAGE_CRYPTODEV=y
BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCURL=y
This causes a circular dependency, as explained by Thomas:
- When libcurl is enabled, systemd depends on it
- When OpenSSL is enabled, obviously, will use it for SSL support
- When cryptodev-linux is enabled, OpenSSL will depend on it to use
crypto accelerators supported in the kernel via cryptodev-linux.
- cryptodev-linux being a kernel module, it depends on linux
- linux by itself (the kernel) does not depend on pciutils, but the
linux tool "cpupower" (managed in linux-tool-cpupower) depends on
pciutils
- pciutils depends on udev when available
- udev is provided by systemd.
And indeed, during the build, we can see that make warns (it's only
reported as a *warning*, not as an actual error):
[...]
make[1]: Circular /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/openssl-1.0.2h/.stamp_configured
<- cryptodev-linux dependency dropped.
>>> openssl 1.0.2h Downloading
[...]
So the build fails later on, when openssl is actually built:
eng_cryptodev.c:57:31: fatal error: crypto/cryptodev.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
<builtin>: recipe for target 'eng_cryptodev.o' failed
Furthermore, graph-depends also detects the circular dependency, but
treats it as a hard-error:
Recursion detected for : cryptodev-linux
which is a dependency of: openssl
which is a dependency of: libcurl
which is a dependency of: systemd
which is a dependency of: udev
which is a dependency of: pciutils
which is a dependency of: linux
which is a dependency of: cryptodev-linux
Makefile:738: recipe for target 'graph-depends' failed
Of course, there is no way to break the loop without losing
functionality in either one of the involved packages *and* keep
our infrastructure and packages as-is.
The only solution is to break the loop at the linux-tools level, by
moving them away into their own package, so that the linux package will
no longer have the opportunity to depend on another package via a
dependency of one the tools.
All three linux tools are thus moved away to their own package.
The package infrastructure only knows of three types of packages: those
in package/ , in boot/ , in toolchain/ and the one in linux/ . So we
create that new linux-tools package in package/ so that we don't have to
fiddle with yet another special case in the infra. Still, we want its
configure options to appear in the kernel's sub-menu.
So, we make it a prompt-less package, with only the tools visible as
options of that package, but without the usual dependency on their
master symbol; they only depend on the Linux kernel.
Furthermore, because the kernel is such a huge pile of code, we would
not be very happy to extract it a second time just for the sake of a few
tools. We can't extract only the tools/ sub-directory from the kernel
source either, because some tools have hard-coded path to includes from
the kernel (arch and stuff).
Instead, we just use the linux source tree as our own build tree, and
ensure the linux tree is extracted and patched before linux-tools is
configured and built.

New, simpler, infrastructure for building the Linux kernel
This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.
