2020-01-16gen_initramfs.sh: always output cpio even without -o optionMasahiro Yamada1-31/+27
Currently, this script outputs a cpio file when -o option is given, but otherwise a text file in the format recognized by gen_init_cpio. This behavior is unclear. Make it always output a cpio file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2020-01-16initramfs: add default_cpio_list, and delete -d option supportMasahiro Yamada3-17/+7
When CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty, the Makefile passes the -d option to gen_initramfs.sh to create the default initramfs, which contains /dev, /dev/console, and /root. This commit simplifies the default behavior; remove the -d option, and add the default cpio list. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2020-01-16initramfs: generate dependency list and cpio at the same timeMasahiro Yamada2-64/+47
Currently, this script is run twice, for the dependency list, and then for the cpio archive. The first one is re-run every time although its build log is suppressed so nobody notices it. Make it work more efficiently by generating the cpio and the dependency list at the same time. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2020-01-14initramfs: make initramfs compression choice non-optionalMasahiro Yamada1-8/+0
Currently, the choice of the initramfs compression mode is too complex because users are allowed to not specify the compression mode at all. I think it makes more sense to require users to choose the compression mode explicitly, and delete the fallback defaults of INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION.

2020-01-14initramfs: make compression options not depend on INITRAMFS_SOURCEMasahiro Yamada1-2/+0
Even if INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty, usr/gen_initramfs.sh generates a tiny default initramfs, which is embedded in vmlinux. So, defining INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION* options should be valid irrespective of INITRAMFS_SOURCE. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2020-01-14initramfs: remove redundant dependency on BLK_DEV_INITRDMasahiro Yamada1-6/+0
init/Kconfig includes usr/Kconfig inside the "if BLK_DEV_INITRD" ... "endif" block: if BLK_DEV_INITRD source "usr/Kconfig" endif Hence, all the defines in usr/Kconfig depend on BLK_DEV_INITRD.

2020-01-14initramfs: rename gen_initramfs_list.sh to gen_initramfs.shMasahiro Yamada2-1/+1
The comments in usr/Makefile wrongly refer to the script name (twice). Line 37: # The dependency list is generated by gen_initramfs.sh -l Line 54: # 4) Arguments to gen_initramfs.sh changes There does not exist such a script. I was going to fix the comments, but after some consideration, I thought "gen_initramfs.sh" would be more suitable than "gen_initramfs_list.sh" because it generates an initramfs image in the common usage. The script generates a list that can be fed to gen_init_cpio only when it is directly run without -o or -l option. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2020-01-14initramfs: replace klibcdirs in Makefile with FORCEMasahiro Yamada1-5/+1
'klibcdirs' was added by commit d39a206bc35d ("kbuild: rebuild initramfs if content of initramfs changes"). If this is just a matter of forcing execution of the recipe line, we can replace it with FORCE. The following code is currently useless: $(deps_initramfs): klibcdirs The original intent could be a hook for the klibc integration into the kernel tree, but klibc is a separate project, which can be built independently.

Let's include the same header twice. If an include guard is missing, the header will fail to build due to redefinition of something.

2020-01-04gen_initramfs_list.sh: fix 'bad variable name' errorMasahiro Yamada1-1/+1
Prior to commit 858805b336be ("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".

2019-07-08kbuild: compile-test exported headers to ensure they are self-containedMasahiro Yamada4-1/+137
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.

2017-11-03initramfs: fix initramfs rebuilds w/ compression after disablingFlorian Fainelli1-4/+5
This is a follow-up to commit 57ddfdaa9a72 ("initramfs: fix disabling of initramfs (and its compression)"). This particular commit fixed the use case where we build the kernel with an initramfs with no compression, and then we build the kernel with no initramfs. Now this still left us with the same case as described here: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170521033337.6197-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com not working with initramfs compression. This can be seen by the following steps/timestamps: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2598153.html .initramfs_data.cpio.gz.cmd is correct: cmd_usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz := /bin/bash ./scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh -o usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz -u 1000 -g 1000 /home/fainelli/work/uclinux-rootfs/romfs /home/fainelli/work/uclinux-rootfs/misc/initramfs.dev and was generated the first time we did generate the gzip initramfs, so the command has not changed, nor its arguments, so we just don't call it, no initramfs cpio is re-generated as a consequence. The fix for this problem is just to properly keep track of the .initramfs_cpio_data.d file by suffixing it with the compression extension. This takes care of properly tracking dependencies such that the initramfs get (re)generated any time files are added/deleted etc. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170930033936.6722-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com Fixes: db2aa7fd15e8 ("initramfs: allow again choice of the embedded initramfs compression algorithm") Fixes: 9e3596b0c653 ("kbuild: initramfs cleanup, set target from Kconfig") Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Cc: "Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (klondike)" <klondike@xiscosoft.net> Cc: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman4-0/+4
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-06-02initramfs: fix disabling of initramfs (and its compression)Florian Fainelli1-0/+1
Commit db2aa7fd15e8 ("initramfs: allow again choice of the embedded initram compression algorithm") introduced the possibility to select the initramfs compression algorithm from Kconfig and while this is a nice feature it broke the use case described below. Here is what my build system does: - kernel is initially configured not to have an initramfs included - build the user space root file system - re-configure the kernel to have an initramfs included (CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/path/to/romfs") and set relevant CONFIG_INITRAMFS options, in my case, no compression option (CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE) - kernel is re-built with these options -> kernel+initramfs image is copied - kernel is re-built again without these options -> kernel image is copied Building a kernel without an initramfs means setting this option: CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="" (and this one only) whereas building a kernel with an initramfs means setting these options: CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/home/fainelli/work/uclinux-rootfs/romfs /home/fainelli/work/uclinux-rootfs/misc/initramfs.dev" CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID=1000 CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID=1000 CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE=y CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION="" Commit db2aa7fd15e85 ("initramfs: allow again choice of the embedded initram compression algorithm") is problematic because CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION which is used to determine the initramfs_data.cpio extension/compression is a string, and due to how Kconfig works it will evaluate in order, how to assign it. Setting CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE with CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="" cannot possibly work (because of the depends on INITRAMFS_SOURCE!="" imposed on CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION ) yet we still get CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION assigned to ".gz" because CONFIG_RD_GZIP=y is set in my kernel, even when there is no initramfs being built. So we basically end-up generating two initramfs_data.cpio* files, one without extension, and one with .gz. This causes usr/Makefile to track usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz, and not usr/initramfs_data.cpio anymore, that is also largely problematic after 9e3596b0c6539e ("kbuild: initramfs cleanup, set target from Kconfig") because we used to track all possible initramfs_data files in the $(targets) variable before that commit. The end result is that the kernel with an initramfs clearly does not contain what we expect it to, it has a stale initramfs_data.cpio file built into it, and we keep re-generating an initramfs_data.cpio.gz file which is not the one that we want to include in the kernel image proper. The fix consists in hiding CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION when CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="". This puts us back in a state to the pre-4.10 behavior where we can properly disable and re-enable initramfs within the same kernel .config file, and be in control of what CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION is set to.

2017-05-08initramfs: provide a way to ignore image provided by bootloaderDaniel Thompson1-0/+10
Many "embedded" architectures provide CMDLINE_FORCE to allow the kernel to override the command line provided by an inflexible bootloader. However there is currrently no way for the kernel to override the initramfs image provided by the bootloader meaning there are still ways for bootloaders to make things difficult for us. Fix this by introducing INITRAMFS_FORCE which can prevent the kernel from loading the bootloader supplied image. We use CMDLINE_FORCE (and its friend CMDLINE_EXTEND) to imply that the system has an inflexible bootloader. This allow us to avoid presenting this config option to users of systems where inflexible bootloaders aren't usually a problem.

2016-12-14initramfs: allow again choice of the embedded initram compression algorithmFrancisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (klondike)1-0/+117
Choosing the appropriate compression option when using an embedded initramfs can result in significant size differences in the resulting data. This is caused by avoiding double compression of the initramfs contents. For example on my tests, choosing CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE when compressing the kernel using XZ) results in up to 500KiB differences (9MiB to 8.5MiB) in the kernel size as the dictionary will not get polluted with uncomprensible data and may reuse kernel data too. Despite embedding an uncompressed initramfs, a user may want to allow for a compressed extra initramfs to be passed using the rd system, for example to boot a recovery system. 9ba4bcb645898d ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression") broke that behavior by making the choice based on CONFIG_RD_* instead of adding CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4. Saddly, CONFIG_RD_* is also used to choose the supported RD compression algorithms by the kernel and a user may want to support more than one. This patch also reverts commit 3e4e0f0a875 ("initramfs: remove "compression mode" choice") restoring back the "compression mode" choice and includes the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4 option which was never added. As a result the following options are added or readed affecting the embedded initramfs compression: INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE Do no compression INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP Compress using gzip INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_BZIP2 Compress using bzip2 INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA Compress using lzma INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_XZ Compress using xz INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZO Compress using lzo INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZ4 Compress using lz4 These depend on the corresponding CONFIG_RD_* option being set (except NONE which has no dependencies). This patch depends on the previous one (the previous version didn't) to simplify the way in which the algorithm is chosen and keep backwards compatibility with the behaviour introduced by 9ba4bcb645898 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression").

Unfortunately all of these always get compiled in if you want to support INITRDs, and can be only disabled when CONFIG_EXPERT is set. I don't see why I need to set EXPERT just to properly configure the initrd compression algorithms, and not always include every possible algorithm Usually the initrd is just compressed with gzip anyways, at least that's true on all distributions I use. Remove the dependencies for initrd compression on CONFIG_EXPERT. Make the various options just default y, which should be good enough to not break any previous configuration.

This patch updates the Makefile to use CONFIG_RD_* variables and adds support for LZ4 compression algorithm. Also updates the 'gen_initramfs_list.sh' script to check whether a selected compression command is accessible or not. And fall-back to default gzip(1) compression when it is not.
