[PATCH v2 00/10] arm: add one kconfig option per platform

[PATCH v2 00/10] arm: add one kconfig option per platform

[Stefano Stabellini]

Hi all,

This patch series introduces one kconfig option for each remaing
platform under platforms/.  Each kconfig option enables the required
drivers in Xen.

Cheers,

Stefano

Changes in v2:
- remove all platform options except for thunderx, sunxi, rcar2, omap5
- add "make platform specific code dependent on ALL32_PLAT or ALL64_PLAT"
- add "introduce NO_PLAT"
- remove HAS_SMMU from ThunderX

Regardless what I said in the cover letter. ACPI should really not be 
selected here. It is not mandatory to use on Thunder-X and the decision 
should be left to the user.

In other words, the platform config should *only* select what is 
mandatory to run a given SoC.

To be honest, I would even consider the UART as optional because a user 
may decide it does not want any output from Xen.

Cheers,

Technically the UART is not required. By selecting it, you give no way 
to the user to remove it.

I don't know of a way to select the UART driver by default, which is the
desired configuration for the majority, while still allowing users to
remove it if they want to.

You can't do this directly with Kconfig. Linux is solving the problem by 
introducing "config fragment" and using scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh 
to merge the fragments.

The scripts exists on Xen in xen/xen/tools/kconfig/. So if you provide
a fragment for tiny and R-Car, you could merge both in a single one.

This would also give the freedom for the user to tailor a bit more his 
.config.

I don't mind the config fragment approach but it is very low on my
priority list at the moment. We discussed removing the selects from the
new platform kconfigs, but I am now thinking of dropping the platform
specific options introduced by the series altogether and only send the
ALL32_PLAT, ALL64_PLAT and NO_PLAT options (only the last 2 patches).

[PATCH v2 5/6] xen/arm: make platform specific code dependent on ALL32_PLAT or ALL64_PLAT

[Stefano Stabellini]

Compile platform code that doesn't have its own specific kconfig option
only if ALL32_PLAT or ALL64_PLAT depending on the architecture. The
benefit is that choosing one of the platforms available as a menu
option allows the user not to build other unnecessary platform code.

That's not entirely true. After this series applied, there are still 
some obj-y present in the Makefile.

Sorry I must have been too tired, I missed one change in the previous
patch. :-/

As we discussed yesterday, I would rather not introduce per-platform 
config until we have a real use-case.

It makes sense to have a per-platform config for Omap5 and Rcar2. But I 
don't see a use-case for Thunder-X/Sunxi.

There is an argument that Thunder-X is a server platform, hence, there
is no need to do a tailored kconfig for it.

But I think that Sunxi would be nice to have as there are several
embedded boards out there using it. I know of a few people using Sunxi
embedded boards with Xen today in their business.

What if I remove the Thunder-X specific option but I keep the Sunxi
option?

I guess I could be convinced with Sunxi.
