[patch 09/18] kbuild: generate modules.builtin

[patch 09/18] kbuild: generate modules.builtin

[akpm]

From: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

To make it easier for tools like mkinitrd to detect whether a needed
module is missing or whether it is compiled into the kernel, install a
modules.builtin file listing all modules built into the kernel.  This is
done by generating an alternate config file with all tristate =y options
set to =Y and reading the makefiles with this config included.  The built
in modules then appear in obj-Y.

Hi Michael.

[Added Steven on cc: as he had done some kconfig
 hacking lately].

Got some time (finally) to look at this.
I understand the functionality and I have myself had the need
to see builtin modules.

As for the implmentation I have a few comments.

General comments:
1) Update to documentation is missing.
   AUTOCONFIG2 needs documentation  (kconfig.txt)
   modules.builtin needs documetnation (kbuild.txt)

   The latter is thin at the moment but thats not
   any excuse.

2) auto2.conf is a full copy of auto.conf with
   a tristate symbols equals 'y' set to 'Y'.
   iI suggest to make it a list of tristate symbols.
   You can then do something like this:
   
      include auto.conf
      y := Y
      include tristate-symbols.conf
      y := y

This make it more general and you do not
have two almost identical files produced.

Some specific comments below.

	Sam

The other stuff we run after a completed build is the
target vmlinux: just above.
If there is no good reason not to do so please move
it so we keep all these post processing steps in one place.

I assume this works with any shell?

This is only used by Makefile.modbuiltin - move it there.

(Makefile.lib is messy and need so love one day. No need to add
more to the mess).

As Jan aleady noted in a follow-up patch "FORCE" is missing.

Well - except that I do not see any of these used.
Keep like the above as this is what we do in other places.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm about to leave for two weeks. I got LinuxCon and
LinuxPlumbers to present at in Portland, then I fly off to Dresden
Germany to present at OSADL conference there. So I wont have anytime to
look at this until I'm done with these.

But please, keep me posted on any changes like this.

Thanks,

I just did a quick patch that address most of my comments.
I'm heading out of the door in a few minutes
so I decided to post it despite Makefile.modbuiltin is not
updated.

I went for a file named tristate.conf that includes
all tristate symbols. Then we may use it for other
purposes later.
And I kept the "=Y" syntax. In the end this is rather elegant.

They basic idea is to do:
-include include/config/auto.conf
-include include/config/tristate.conf

Where the latter assing new values to all
symbols that refer to builtin modules.

Notice how much simpler the changes to confdata are.

Hi Sam,

many thanks for the review and for the patch, I basically agree with all
what you said, except this one:

The reason is that I need to iterate over $(vmlinux-dirs) to descend
into subdirectories like Makefile.build does. Putting the command here
allows to just write $(MAKE) $(modbuiltin)=$@ and be done, in the
vmlinux target I would have to do the iteration manually.

I'll provide an updated patch soon.
