[PATCH 00/11] Drop default ARCH_APPLE from Kconfig and use defconfig instead

[PATCH 00/11] Drop default ARCH_APPLE from Kconfig and use defconfig instead

[Sven Peter]

Hi,

When support for Apple Silicon was originally upstreamed we somehow
started using `default ARCH_APPLE` for most drivers. arm64 defconfig
also contains ARCH_APPLE=y such that this will turn into `default y`
there by default which is neither what we want nor how this is usually
done.
Let's fix all that by dropping the default everywhere and adding the
drivers to defconfig as modules instead of built-ins.
None of these patches depend on each other so we can just take them all
independently through the respective subsystem trees.

Best,

Sven

[PATCH 01/11] pmdomain: apple: Drop default ARCH_APPLE in Kconfig

[Sven Peter]

When the first driver for Apple Silicon was upstreamed we accidentally
included `default ARCH_APPLE` in its Kconfig which then spread to almost
every subsequent driver. As soon as ARCH_APPLE is set to y this will
pull in many drivers as built-ins which is not what we want.
Thus, drop `default ARCH_APPLE` from Kconfig.

[PATCH 11/11] arm64: defconfig: Enable Apple Silicon drivers

[Sven Peter]

Enable drivers for hardware present on Apple Silicon machines.
The power domain and interrupt driver should be built-it since these are
critical for the system to boot, the rest can be build as modules.

Previously, many of these drivers were accidentally configured as y
such that this actually decreases the size of the kernel image:

vmlinux 163628520 -> 163330632 (-297888)
Image    48388608 ->  48384512 (-  4096)

I think you missed these drivers (all of which should be m):

Nit: I'd be tempted to put this patch first, just in case anyone 
bisecting with "make defconfig" in their process lands in the middle and 
suddenly loses some drivers (although arguably them going from "=y" to 
"=m" could still be a surprise, but at least a bit less so).

If this is critical for any Apple platform to work then it would 
probably make sense to explicitly select it from ARCH_APPLE, as is done 
for APPLE_AIC...

Ah, that's a good point that I hadn't even thought about.
Now that most of these have already been merged into different trees 
that ship has sailed though.

Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst:

   select should be used with care. select will force a symbol to a value
   without visiting the dependencies. By abusing select you are able to
   select a symbol FOO even if FOO depends on BAR that is not set. In
   general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere)
   and for symbols with no dependencies. That will limit the usefulness
   but on the other hand avoid the illegal configurations all over.


That's probably fine for APPLE_AIC which only depends on ARM64 (and 
ARCH_APPLE) which is guaranteed to be set when ARCH_APPLE is set anyway.
APPLE_PMGR_PWRSTATE also has an additional dependency on PM so it should 
probably remain in defconfig and not use select.

Yeah, like I say it's only minor and rather contrived anyway. Not a big 
worry.

Sorry if the implication wasn't clear, but I did mean "select it" in the 
sense of "select it and all of its necessary dependencies in a manner 
that works correctly". The same argument applies all the way down - if a 
!PM config will not be able to boot on ARCH_APPLE platforms due to 
forcibly deselecting APPLE_PMGR_PWRSTATE, then there is little point in 
permitting that combination. Which of course the user would already have 
to disable at least ARCH_MXC, ARCH_ROCKCHIP, ARCH_TEGRA and 
ARCH_VEXPRESS to achieve in the first place ;)

Thanks,
Robin.

It's not such an uncommon pattern. `git grep 'default ARCH_' --
'*Kconfig'` has over 250 matches (not counting ARCH_APPLE) and from a
cursory look not all CONFIG_* look essential for booting.
I agree that the drivers covered here should not be built-in by default.
An alternative would be using `default m if ARCH_APPLE` instead but that
pattern is not common in the kernel. So just moving this to defconfig is
fine by me.

        commit: f59427932885f9b47b22b532b079478905b9ad08

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
