[PATCH v2 1/2] Makefile: Create a file to indicate the config

At present it is not actually possible to discover the defconfig file that was used to build U-Boot, so far as I can tell. Write this out to a file in the build directory, so this is visible.

OK will fix.

Actually it is a binman description, see the imx8 ones, for example. It can generate a FIT for you.

Yes, 2f3e8d6a86cb ("checkpatch: report ERROR only on disabling of fdt and initrd relocation") updates the check I had for fdt_high/initrd_high being in the file at all to only be for additions. And yes, I check every PR for new checkpatch ERROR lines and only ignore the ones for code imported from other projects.

Yes, I understand that, but SPL_FIT_GENERATOR defaults to on for certain boards, so there is no need to mention it anywhere in the patch. Also someone could adjust the condition in the Kconfig to add other boards.

Then you want something a bit more like the fdt|initrd_high check now, along with updating the help around SPL_FIT_GENERATOR to note that this option is deprecated, is the path forward then I think.

What I want: break the build if someone adds a new board that uses SPL_FIT_GENERATOR
What you are offering: checkpatch check for people adding that option
But the patch doesn't generally include that option.
I can certainly mention in the Kconfig help that the option is deprecated, but without checking if it is defined for a NEW board, I cannot prevent it from growing.
What am I missing? Can you be more specific?

How do you add a new board that enables SPL_FIT_GENERATOR without "SPL_FIT_GENERATOR" being in the resulting patch, other than being ARCH_ZYNQMP/ARCH_ROCKCHIP ?

Well that's the case I am most concerned with, actually. Also, someone might add a new condition to SPL_FIT_GENERATOR.

For the current cases, we just need to get them migrated since it's all the same logic? So it would I think be a one-and-done thing. For a new conditional, it should trip checkpatch by having the words in it, and also since the help would also say to not do this, and we already generate a warning, it shouldn't be an issue?

Hi Tom,

Yes, I understand that, but SPL_FIT_GENERATOR defaults to on for certain boards, so there is no need to mention it anywhere in the patch. Also someone could adjust the condition in the Kconfig to add other boards.
Then you want something a bit more like the fdt|initrd_high check now, along with updating the help around SPL_FIT_GENERATOR to note that this option is deprecated, is the path forward then I think.
I'm still a bit lost.
What I want: break the build if someone adds a new board that uses SPL_FIT_GENERATOR
What you are offering: checkpatch check for people adding that option
But the patch doesn't generally include that option.
I can certainly mention in the Kconfig help that the option is deprecated, but without checking if it is defined for a NEW board, I cannot prevent it from growing.
What am I missing? Can you be more specific?
How do you add a new board that enables SPL_FIT_GENERATOR without "SPL_FIT_GENERATOR" being in the resulting patch, other than being ARCH_ZYNQMP/ARCH_ROCKCHIP ?
Well that's the case I am most concerned with, actually. Also, someone might add a new condition to SPL_FIT_GENERATOR.
For the current cases, we just need to get them migrated since it's all the same logic? So it would I think be a one-and-done thing. For a new
Yes I think so and some of them are done. These are what I can find:
./arch/riscv/lib/mkimage_fit_opensbi.sh ./arch/arm/mach-zynqmp/mkimage_fit_atf.sh ./arch/arm/mach-imx/mkimage_fit_atf.sh ./arch/arm/mach-rockchip/make_fit_atf.py
but they are not used by that many boards.
I feel that the amount of pending migration is somewhat overwhelming and we should take a stronger line in mainline.
Perhaps I should send a patch to simply remove the option? Would that be acceptable?

Is there something technically preventing their migration to buildman? Looking over examples for imx8* conversions, it's just adding a binman node and describing things there, yes?

Poking at this a bit more, it seems like the outstanding imx platforms to be converted still have pending patches and it's just part of the general imx backlog. The riscv one isn't used and should be removed. That leaves rockchip and zynqmp needing conversion. Michal has already commented in this thread and I'll leave it to him to say how long he needs to see how long zynqmp needs to update. That leaves Rockchip.

It seems that rk3399 uses bl31.elf and splits out the sections into pieces. What a mess! I wonder if that is necessary for ATF to work? It seems to do the same for TEE.

It seems that rk3399 uses bl31.elf and splits out the sections into pieces. What a mess! I wonder if that is necessary for ATF to work? It seems to do the same for TEE.
That's because bl31.elf really consists of three binary blobs packed together into a single ELF object. This is done such that specific bits needed for suspend/resume land in the AP's SRAM and the PMU's SRAM while the majority lands in DRAM. The splitting happens to make U-Boot's ITS stuff happy.
I suppose this could be done in a different way by packing the ELF binary itself into the FIT image, but then SPL has to parse the ELF headers and copy things in place which may be challenging.
(I'm not familliar with the TEE stuff)

OK I see, thanks. I hadn't realised it was running from SDRAM. I suppose SPL has set that up already. It would help if I could get my firefly-rk3399 unblocked.
I suppose this could be done in a different way by packing the ELF binary itself into the FIT image, but then SPL has to parse the ELF headers and copy things in place which may be challenging.
We do have code for that which we could press into service, but it goes against the idea of SPL a bit, I think, when you can do it in advance.
(I'm not familliar with the TEE stuff)
Well if we need to do it for BL31, it is not really any more effort to do it for TEE, I suppose.

I couldn't think of a way of doing that...do you have an idea?
Yes, 2f3e8d6a86cb ("checkpatch: report ERROR only on disabling of fdt and initrd relocation") updates the check I had for fdt_high/initrd_high being in the file at all to only be for additions. And yes, I check every PR for new checkpatch ERROR lines and only ignore the ones for code imported from other projects.
Yes, I understand that, but SPL_FIT_GENERATOR defaults to on for certain boards, so there is no need to mention it anywhere in the patch. Also someone could adjust the condition in the Kconfig to add other boards.
Then you want something a bit more like the fdt|initrd_high check now, along with updating the help around SPL_FIT_GENERATOR to note that this option is deprecated, is the path forward then I think.
I'm still a bit lost.
What I want: break the build if someone adds a new board that uses SPL_FIT_GENERATOR
What you are offering: checkpatch check for people adding that option
But the patch doesn't generally include that option.
I can certainly mention in the Kconfig help that the option is deprecated, but without checking if it is defined for a NEW board, I cannot prevent it from growing.
What am I missing? Can you be more specific?
How do you add a new board that enables SPL_FIT_GENERATOR without "SPL_FIT_GENERATOR" being in the resulting patch, other than being ARCH_ZYNQMP/ARCH_ROCKCHIP ?
Well, that's a problem isn't it? Simon is basically saying no to any new rk3399 board, which doesn't make any sense since this isn't a board-specific issue but a SoC specific issue. Adding new boards doesn't make it more difficult to fix the issue. I guess he is hoping that saying no to a new rk3399 board will trick someone into actually doing the work of adding the necessary code to binman?

I don't think we need this really normally, it's just for the follow-up patch.

I'd argue that it is helpful to have this somewhere. Is there anywhere else in the build directory where it can be discovered?

It's not a guarantee to exist is my first problem. My minor problems are this needs to be in .gitignore and also I think this wasn't ensuring output directory not source directory. But I don't see the use case this is filling. If you're in-tree, you should know what you configured and are working on. If you're out of tree and didn't do any sort of naming convention to your objdirs, did you also really care what defconfig exactly (I use a mix of named and garbage-named temp dirs)? And if you're a tool of some sort, you were told what to use at some point I would assume. Which all gets back to I don't see the use case exactly for it.

Do you mean there might not be a defconfig file? Yes I see. But generally there is, e.g. with buildman.
are this needs to be in .gitignore and also I think this wasn't ensuring output directory not source directory. But I don't see the use case this is filling.

I was just surprised that there was no way to find it out, that's all. It seems like a gap. But I agree that if we don't have a specific use case (e.g. we figure out another way of doing the next patch) then we could wait.
Regards, Simon
