Ok, can you include multi_v5_defconfig than?

I see you have one named "arm-arm5", which may be the same.

I have around 130 patches for warnings that I'm submitting at the moment, but
there are a couple of really tricky ones that I don't currently have
a good plan for:

- in some configurations, you end up without any boards selected, hitting
  an #error in the final link
- ARMv3 support in gcc is rather broken and causes internal compiler errors
  among other things
- the old ELF format (OABI) doesn't work in some cases
- GCOV_PROFILE_ALL causes problems that need to be debugged
- XIP_KERNEL sometimes causes kallsyms to fail
- not all platforms implement the complete clk API, if they don't
  use CONFIG_COMMON_CLK (I have patch for that we can probably merge)
- CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET needs to be entered manually to be a number
  in 'make config'
- same for DEBUG_LL

OK, done.

Yes, looks so -- it's provided by someone else long time ago.

The robot may explicitly enable/disable some CONFIG_* after randconfig
to workaround known problems.

That's a problem for auto tests.

Ok, I'll try to revisit this one. Maybe I can turn it into a
'default 0xffffffff' with a compile-time warning, or make
'default 0' the fallback when it's not specified otherwise.

I'm really against the idea of providing some kind of "default" to it.
Not providing a default means that people _have_ to do some research
for their particular system in order to provide a value, and they're
more likely to get the right value.  Providing a default will lead to
the assumption that the value is okay, and then we'll end up with
people complaining that their kernel doesn't boot, and is totally
silent.

The only default I'd accept is one based on the rest of the config -
in other words, re-introducing all the physical address of RAM that
we used to have in the mach/memory.h files...

There's other ways around these kinds of things, the Kconfig system
does allow a Kconfig fragment which can be used to pre-set some
configuration options to particular values - and so which can be used
to set CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET prior to an allrandconfig or similar.

This doesn't sound too hard. I've picked the defaults out of the
git history in the patch below. The only tricky part was davinci,
which has two different addresses and requires a little rework
to avoid circular dependencies.

Most platforms these days hardcode ARCH_PATCH_PHS_VIRT anyway,
so we only need to list the bunch of remaining ones.

I don't know what Fenguang's problem was with that approach, but
at least at the moment he's using a fixup after running randconfig.
In my own tests, I'm doing yet another approach by marking a
handful of symbols as 'depends on BROKEN' in my testing patches,
but clearly that does not work when building other people's trees.

The other related issue is the DEBUG_UART_{VIRT,PHYS} setting,
where there is no safe platform-specific default. I have two
ideas for working around that, maybe one of them sounds ok to
you:

a) find a way to warn and/or disable DEBUG_LL when no address
   is set, rather than failing the build

b) add 'default 0 if COMPILE_TEST' to make it harder to get this
   wrong by accident (hopefully nobody tries to run a COMPILE_TEST
   kernel). Also maybe add a #warning if DEBUG_UART_VIRT is
   outside of VMALLOC_START...PCI_IOBASE area, which would cover
   this case as well.

Make sure to add it at the end of the list, so enabling COMPILE_TEST in a
working .config should give another working .config.

Perhaps you can use 0xdeadbeef instead of 0, and add

    #if DEBUG_UART_PHYS == 0xdeadbeed
    #warning Broken value of DEBUG_UART_PHYS.
    #endif

somewhere?

Sure, I've just done a largish series of patches in 4.5 to fix that
bug where we had it already.

I can do that, though I don't see much of an advantage, as zero
is no more likely to be a real address than 0xdeadbeed.

How about the version below?

We have one platform that uses a 8250 at address 0xe0010fe0, and one using
the netx UART at virtual address 0xe0000a00, everything else uses 0xf0000000
or higher.

The 0xf0000000 address seems like a better default cutoff, because that
is close to the VMALLOC_START value for systems with 768MB of RAM or more.
Picking a lower number can easily get you in trouble here.

Now that I think about it, I guess platforms that use values above
0xfee00000 can also easily get into trouble as that conflicts with the
PCI I/O space, the fixmap or other special areas documented in
Documentation/arm/memory.txt. We have a bunch of those:

        default 0xfee003f8 if DEBUG_FOOTBRIDGE_COM1
        default 0xfee20000 if DEBUG_NSPIRE_CLASSIC_UART || DEBUG_NSPIRE_CX_UART
        default 0xfee82340 if ARCH_IOP13XX
        default 0xfef00000 if ARCH_IXP4XX && !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
        default 0xfef00003 if ARCH_IXP4XX && CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
        default 0xfef36000 if DEBUG_HIGHBANK_UART
        default 0xfefb0000 if DEBUG_OMAP1UART1 || DEBUG_OMAP7XXUART1
        default 0xfefb0800 if DEBUG_OMAP1UART2 || DEBUG_OMAP7XXUART2
        default 0xfefb9800 if DEBUG_OMAP1UART3 || DEBUG_OMAP7XXUART3
        default 0xfefff700 if ARCH_IOP33X
        default 0xff003000 if DEBUG_U300_UART
        default 0xffd01000 if DEBUG_HIP01_UART

The HIP01 is the only one that looks actively dangerous here (clashes with
fixmap), the others are probably all fine but it would be nice to stay out
of that area completely.

That's wrong.  Given it's PCI bus architecture and it's IO space, at least
one of those above is perfectly valid.  0x3f8 into IO space might ring a
bell... if not the COM1 certainly should. :)

I think there's a much better way to solve this.

How about we have an architecture-defined way to provide all*config
with a set of settings to be used with Kconfig to define these
integer settings, rather than papering over the problem making up
random addresses (like you're doing for the debug stuff.)  Eg,
a default architecture-provided setting for KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
that defines things such as the physical offset and the debug
addresses to be used for all*config targets?

Surely that's better than hacking around with the Kconfig files
trying to frig something into working, which can potentially confuse
people.

FWIW, I have a similar problem with m68k+MMU=y randconfig...
