Reactivate the tracing feature

2014-09-24T22:30:28+00:00

This was lost sometime in the Kbuild conversion. Add it back.

Check that the trace test now passes:

kconfig: switch to Kconfig

2014-07-30T12:48:03+00:00

This commit enables Kconfig.
Going forward, we use Kconfig for the board configuration.
mkconfig will never be used. Nor will include/config.mk be generated.

Kconfig must be adjusted for U-Boot because our situation is
a little more complicated than Linux Kernel.
We have to generate multiple boot images (Normal, SPL, TPL)
from one source tree.
Each image needs its own configuration input.

Usage:

Run "make _defconfig" to do the board configuration.

It will create the .config file and additionally spl/.config, tpl/.config
if SPL, TPL is enabled, respectively.

You can use "make config", "make menuconfig" etc. to create
a new .config or modify the existing one.

Use "make spl/config", "make spl/menuconfig" etc. for spl/.config
and do likewise for tpl/.config file.

The generic syntax of configuration targets for SPL, TPL is:

  /

Here,  is either 'spl' or 'tpl'
       is 'config', 'menuconfig', 'xconfig', etc.

When the configuration is done, run "make".
(Or "make _defconfig all" will do the configuration and build
in one time.)

For futher information of how Kconfig works in U-Boot,
please read the comment block of scripts/multiconfig.py.

By the way, there is another item worth remarking here:
coexistence of Kconfig and board herder files.

Prior to Kconfig, we used C headers to define a set of configs.

We expect a very long term to migrate from C headers to Kconfig.
Two different infractructure must coexist in the interim.

In our former configuration scheme, include/autoconf.mk was generated
for use in makefiles.
It is still generated under include/, spl/include/, tpl/include/ directory
for the Normal, SPL, TPL image, respectively.

build: define CPU only when arch/${ARCH}/cpu/${CPU} exists

2014-07-07T23:42:34+00:00

The directory arch/${ARCH}/cpu/${CPU} does not exist
in avr32, blackfin, microblaze, nios2, openrisc, sandbox, x86.

These architectures have only one CPU type.
Defining CPU should not be required for such architectures.

This commit allows cpu field (= the 3rd field of boards.cfg)
to be kept blank.

kbuild: rename SRCTREE to srctree

2014-03-12T21:04:57+00:00

Prior to Kbuild, $(TOPDIR) or $(SRCTREE) was used for
pointing to the top of source directory.
(No difference between the two.)

In Kbuild style, $(srctree) is used for instead.
This commit renames SRCTREE to srctree and deletes the
defition of SRCTREE.

Note that SRCTREE in scripts/kernel-doc, scripts/docproc.c,
doc/DocBook/Makefile should be keep.

kbuild: improve Kbuild speed

2014-03-07T15:59:06+00:00

Kbuild brought about many advantages for us but a significant
performance regression was reported by Simon Glass.

After some discussions and analysis, it turned out
its main cause is in $(call cc-option,...).

Historically, U-Boot parses all config.mk
(arch/*/config.mk and board/*/config.mk)
every time descending into subdirectories.
That means cc-options are evaluated over and over again.

$(call cc-option,...) is useful but costly.
So we want to evaluate them only in ./Makefile
and spl/Makefile and export compiler flags.

This commit changes the build system as follows:

  - Modify scripts/Makefile.build to not include config.mk
    Instead, add $(PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS) to asflags-y, ccflags-y,
    cppflags-y.

  - Export many variables
    Going forward, Kbuild will not parse config.mk files
    when it descends into subdirectories.
    If we want to set variables in config.mk and use them
    in subdirectories, they must be exported.

    This is the list of variables to get exported:
      PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS
      CPUDIR
      BOARDDIR
      OBJCOPYFLAGS
      LDFLAGS
      LDFLAGS_FINAL
        (used in nand_spl/board/*/*/Makefile)
      CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
        (used in examples/standalone/Makefile)
      SYM_PREFIX
        (used in examples/standalone/Makefile)
      RELFLAGS
        (used in examples/standalone/Makefile)

  - Delete CPPFLAGS
    This variable has been replaced with PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS

  - Copy gcclibdir from example/standalone/Makefile
    to arch/sparc/config.mk
    The reference in CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR must be
    resolved before it is exported.

kbuild: allow empty board directories

2014-03-04T17:15:31+00:00

U-Boot has compelled all boards to have
board/${BOARD}/ or board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/ directory.

Sometimes it does not seem suitable for some boards,
for example Sandbox. (Is it a board?)

And arcangel4 board has nothing to compile
under the board directory.

This commit makes the build system more flexible:
If '' is given to the 6th column (=Board name) of boards.cfg,
Kbuild will not descend into the board directory.

kbuild: move include directives of board configuration files

2014-02-19T16:07:51+00:00

This commit changes the location of include directives
of board configuration files.

The purpose of this change is:
 - Slim down $(TOPDIR)/config.mk
 - Prevent $(TOPDIR)/Makefile from including the same
    configuration file twice
 - Do not include include/config.mk multiple times
    because ARCH, CPU, BOARD, VENDOR, SOC are exported

Before this commit:

 - include/autoconf.mk was included from $(TOPDIR)/Makefile
   and $(TOPDIR)/config.mk
   (This means $(TOPDIR)/Makefile included include/autoconf.mk twice)

 - include/{spl,tpl}-autoconf.mk was included from $(TOPDIR)/config.mk

 - include/config.mk was included from $(TOPDIR)/Makefile
   and $(TOPDIR)/config.mk
   (This means $(TOPDIR)/Makefile included include/config.mk twice)

After this commit:

 - include/autoconf.mk is included from $(TOPDIR)/Makefile
   and $(TOPDIR)/scripts/Makefile.build

 - include/{spl,tpl}-autoconf.mk is included from $(TOPDIR)/spl/Makefile
   and $(TOPDIR)/scripts/Makefile.build

 - include/config.mk is included from $(TOPDIR)/config.mk and
   $(TOPDIR)/spl/Makefile
