Git commit failed with mbedtls/framework

Hi Tom,
I am on 2025.01-rc2, and I am trying to commit some files. The error seems to indicate this framework directory might need some modification. Did I miss something?
error: 'lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/framework' does not have a commit checked out fatal: updating files failed
All the best, Tony

That's odd. You didn't happen to try out some of the previous lwIP iterations on that tree did you?

No, I did not. The tree is clean with "make mrproper" and on the master branch. I just did a git pull and worked on it.
I went and looked at https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls.git. The framework directory is pointing to a specific commit. framework @ 3867faa
I'll stash and repeat it on another clean tree.
All the best, Tony

I think you are talking about the test framework of MbedTLS's original
testsuite, am I right? MbedTLS was ported into U-Boot as a git subtree and that framework is a git submodule of original MbedTLS repo which was not included in the porting of U-Boot since U-Boot has its own testsuite.

I think it must be what Raymond said above. So perhaps during Tom's PR pull, the framework directory was created. But "git commit ." does not like the empty lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/framework directory.

this should work.

Hmmm, no, this cannot be pulled back to the MbedTLS upstream so still a
problem when resync. Another option is to include that git submodule into the U-Boot project, this needs to revert the commit of introducing the library and redo the git subtree after the submodule is updated, but it does not seem to be a good choice as we don't use that test framework in U-Boot at all. Right now I don't have a perfect solution, maybe we can accept using git commit without the '.'?

Here is what I found.
git clone https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot.git u-boot-master-test cd /usr/src/u-boot-master-test/ patch -p1 <
../builds-u-boot-marvell/sheevaplug/sheevaplug_bootstd.patch
git add . git commit . -m "arm: kirkwood: Enable bootstd and remove jffs2 for Sheevaplug board" -e
The git commit above gave out this error:
error: 'lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/framework' does not have a
commit
checked out fatal: updating files failed
So I tried to commit only the specific files, and it works OK.
git commit configs/sheevaplug_defconfig include/configs/sheevaplug.h -m "arm: kirkwood: Enable bootstd and remove jffs2 for Sheevaplug board" -e [master 47de8cff2d] arm: kirkwood: Enable bootstd and remove jffs2
for
Sheevaplug board 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)
I think it must be what Raymond said above. So perhaps during Tom's
PR
pull, the framework directory was created. But "git commit ." does
not
like the empty lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/framework directory.
Under the native MbedTLS git repo, by default it has a "framework"
pointing to
its git submodule. Maybe we should mark it in the gitignore.
I've tried .gitignore but could not make it work (my Gitfu is pretty lousy). Can you suggest how that should be done?
You can use the command without the '.' : git commit -m "<commit_msg>",
this should work.
@Tom Rini trini@konsulko.com Shall we remove both "lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/.gitmodules" and "lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/framework"? I can submit a patch if you
agree.
Can we do that and not make a problem for the next resync?
Hmmm, no, this cannot be pulled back to the MbedTLS upstream so still a
problem when resync. Another option is to include that git submodule into the U-Boot project, this needs to revert the commit of introducing the library and redo the git subtree after the submodule is updated, but it does not seem to be a good choice as we don't use that test framework in U-Boot at all. Right now I don't have a perfect solution, maybe we can accept using git commit without the '.'?
Hmm. Maybe we just delete the .gitmodules / directory and it shouldn't be too hard to deal with on updates. I have to do some small fixups with the device tree ones anyhow sometimes.

this should work.
@Tom Rini trini@konsulko.com Shall we remove both "lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/.gitmodules" and "lib/mbedtls/external/mbedtls/framework"? I can submit a patch if you
agree.
Can we do that and not make a problem for the next resync?
Hmmm, no, this cannot be pulled back to the MbedTLS upstream so still a
problem when resync. Another option is to include that git submodule into the U-Boot project, this needs to revert the commit of introducing the library and redo the git subtree after the submodule is updated, but it does not seem to be a good choice as we
don't
use that test framework in U-Boot at all. Right now I don't have a perfect solution, maybe we can accept using git commit without the '.'?
Hmm. Maybe we just delete the .gitmodules / directory and it shouldn't be too hard to deal with on updates. I have to do some small fixups with the device tree ones anyhow sometimes.
How about checking and deleting this in the subtree update script?
Then we can skip manually doing this each time. I can make a patch for it if you feel fine.
Lets worry about that if it's a problem when we resync next.
I'm currently working with Jonas Karlman's Rockchip fork[1] which is based on a416d9e680718de1c76c4196e1db77e3ca07662f. The fork is included as a git submodule so we can provide distro packaging[2] that are unrelated to U-Boot. We build our package with GitHub Action, and this issue currently blocks us from checking out the code at all with the following workflow snippet:
- name: Checkout uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: submodules: recursive
Related error logs are here:

We can certainly work around it in many different ways. But the point is that U-Boot is currently a broken repository in regard to git submodule operations, and require special treatments to integrate with existing pipelines. This was not the case before.

Hmm. Maybe we just delete the .gitmodules / directory and it shouldn't be too hard to deal with on updates. I have to do some small fixups with the device tree ones anyhow sometimes.
How about checking and deleting this in the subtree update script?
Then we can skip manually doing this each time. I can make a patch for it if you feel fine.
Lets worry about that if it's a problem when we resync next.
I'm currently working with Jonas Karlman's Rockchip fork[1] which is based on a416d9e680718de1c76c4196e1db77e3ca07662f. The fork is included as a git submodule so we can provide distro packaging[2] that are unrelated to U-Boot. We build our package with GitHub Action, and this issue currently blocks us from checking out the code at all with the following workflow snippet:
- name: Checkout uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: submodules: recursive

This issue potentially breaks all projects who include the recent U-Boot as a git submodule in their GitHub Workflow.

We can certainly work around it in many different ways. But the point is that U-Boot is currently a broken repository in regard to git submodule operations, and require special treatments to integrate with existing pipelines. This was not the case before.
Unfortunately if I recall things correctly there's not a good way for us to solve the problem in our tree since bringing in the problematic submodule via subtree just grows our codebase with things we don't use.
Perhaps you could provide a patch to doc/build/source.rst with an example of how you're working around the problem so that it's easier for others when they run in to this problem? Thanks!

Is it possible for us to reconsider this option? I'm not aware of any obvious reasons for rejection here.
I really want to explore all possible solutions before declare this as won't fix in documents.
