[kbuild-devel] ANNOUNCE: gcml2 0.7
G'day, gcml2 is (among other things) a Linux kconfig language syntax checker. Version 0.7 is available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18813release_id=106023 and http://www.alphalink.com.au/~gnb/gcml2/download.html There's also an online summary of the warnings and errors from the syntax checker, with real examples, from http://www.alphalink.com.au/~gnb/gcml2/checker.html Here's the change log * Warnings can be individually enabled. Default set depends on whether the parser is in merge mode. API functions to enable/disable warnings by index and convert a string name to an index. * Added check for define to nonliteral expression. * More precise check for ambiguous comparison against n only complains for symbols which are forward-declared at the point when compared. * Made inconsistent-tag warnings more precise; doesn't emit spurious warnings about define_bool not having an (EXPERIMENTAL) tag. * More precise check for forward references and forward dependencies can tell the difference between forward and undeclared, at the cost of some storage. * Check for overlapping definitions by reducing conditions to disjunctive normal forms. * Added check for forward dependencies. * Added check for misuse of and dependency on arch-constant symbols like CONFIG_X86. * Renamed summarise-warnings.awk - summarize.awk and installed it. * Added cml-summarize shell script, which runs summarize.awk. * Added cml-check-all shell script, based on old dochecks.sh, but now also handles running cml-summarize. * Added manpages for cml-check, cml-check-all and cml-summarize. Description of errors and warnings for the cml-check manpage is controlled in HTML and shared with the web page. * RPM package support: added spec file, rpm: target.

Roman Zippel wrote: The problem here is one should consider, how all these little changes will help to solve the big problems. Do they allow to more easily fix the big problems or have these changes to be dumped again? I believe fixing the existing rules within the existing syntax is an exercise worth doing, and that the results will carry across to whatever extended syntax/ new language/new parsers/whatever will be the long-term solution. Extending the CML1 syntax now is a fun game but a gamble. Most of the suggestions I've seen so far fix problems, which either can be either fixed automatically or which don't exists anymore, once we switch to a new syntax/parser. That's the reason I ask to understand the whole picture, so we can judge whether a change is really necessary or not. Unlike you, I'm not optimistic that a switch to a new language or even a new parser for the old language will ever happen. I can't give you a mathematical proof, but I tried very hard to keep the behaviour the same. Unless I made mistake the rules are almost exactly the same. Most of the CML1 rules are usable, there are only very few cases which need manual fixing. I can't guarantee that where won't be any surprises, but they should be easily fixable in the new system. (Unless ESR I don't insist that my rulebase is correct or perfect, so I'm open to suggestion/changes. :) ) In http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernelm=101387128818052w=2 David Woodhouse gives an idea of what would be necessary to get a new language+parser accepted. Can you achieve that yet? Most of these problems can actually be fixed without syntax changes. Yes, a great deal of them can be, and those should be done ASAP. Something that can't be sanely fixed this way are recursive dependencies, which I think are not worth fixing with the old parsers, but which are easily fixable with the new syntax. Indeed, and those are rare corner cases. If you want to fix logical errors in the rulebase, they will be more easily fixable with the new tools. For the X interface I'm planning some debug options, which e.g. allow you to see the complete dependencies of every symbol.

That way: dep_bool FOO1 BAR BAZ dep_mbool FOO2 BAR BAZ dep_tristate FOO3 BAR BAZ is exactly equivalent to if_dep BAR BAZ bool FOO1 mbool FOO2 tristate FOO3 fi_dep Of course, that requires the invention of 'mbool'. But I do believe it covers most if not all common cases. I guess in this case, though, it's still an open question whether 'define_bool' should be immune from the M effect (like 'mbool') or not. Seeing it from that point of view, it may actually turn into something which can agree with much more easily. Maybe it actually suffices to declare if_dep, fi_dep as virtually adds the listed arguments to each statement in the enclosed region. Maybe there would be a better name for that, then if_dep, OTOH using if_dep makes it quite clear what else_dep does. Ok, we need to be a little bit careful about semantics here, or there is going to be issues converting the existing corpus. Currently the if syntax and dependencies are not the same thing; the if condition is purely a visibility limit, and deps are both value and visibility limits. This means that if [ $CONFIG_FOO = y ]; then bool '...' CONFIG_BAR fi is not semantically identical to dep_bool '...' CONFIG_BAR $CONFIG_FOO (even ignoring the issue) because in the second case CONFIG_FOO=n forces CONFIG_BAR=n whereas in the first case it makes no difference to the value of CONFIG_BAR, so CONFIG_BAR will retain the value from previous definitions or defconfig. The proposed if_dep (or dep_if) acts as both a visibility and a value limit. So if_dep CONFIG_BAZ bool '...' CONFIG_QUUX fi_dep is semantically equivalent to if [ $CONFIG_BAZ = y -o $CONFIG_BAZ = m ]; then dep_mbool '...' CONFIG_QUUX $CONFIG_BAZ else define_bool CONFIG_QUUX n fi There's nothing wrong with this, in fact it's probably a very handy construct. But it's not a new syntax for if, it's a totally new construct with new semantics. Furthermore, you're proposing changes to the existing behaviour of existing statements like bool. In fact, at this point you're talking about changing the language in possibly incompatible ways, not just extending it to regularise semantics. I think we should focus more on first fixing problems with the existing corpus which can be fixed without changing syntax, then starting to think about language redesign for the 2.7 timeframe. [...]I didn't look into like choice statements, but I'd hope it's possible to add dependencies to them, too, for consistency. Adding a tristate value limit to int or hex makes no sense, nor to choice. You'd have to define the semantics as if_dep affects the visibility of all statements and the values of bools and tristates only. OTOH, one of the problems I can see already is that bool '...' CONFIG_FOO if [ $CONFIG_FOO = y ]; then bool '...' CONFIG_BAR [...] else define_bool CONFIG_BAR y fi doesn't translate well. Or all the cases where there are further ifs inside the else. (Hacks I can see would be: bool '...' CONFIG_FOO if_dep CONFIG_FOO bool 'not ...' CONFIG_NOT_BAR [...] fi_dep define_bool CONFIG_BAR !CONFIG_NOT_BAR Blech. bool '...' CONFIG_FOO if_dep CONFIG_FOO bool '...' CONFIG_FOO_BAR [...] fi_dep define_bool CONFIG_BAR CONFIG_FOO_BAR or !CONFIG_FOO I think a better solution would be to provide separate iflike statements, one which is a pure visibility limit like the old if but with the syntax cleaner and the behaviour with regularised; the other which does both visibility limit and a value limit on dep_bools dep_tristates (but those only, the existing bool tristate remain unchanged). If you look at the CML2 rulebase you will see constructs equivalent to both of these in use.

Re: [kbuild-devel] RFC: kernel config: new dependency syntax
Peter Samuelson wrote: [Kai Germaschewski] I didn't look into like choice statements, but I'd hope it's possible to add dependencies to them, too, for consistency. I agree. Actually, if we're changing 'choice' anyway, it should be redesigned. Status quo takes three arguments: choice 'prompt string' 'choice-text-1 CONFIG_CHOICE1 choice-text-2 CONFIG_CHOICE2' 'choice-text-default' This is bad because it pretty much requires multi-line strings, and because the choice texts cannot have spaces in them. In my opinion it should take a variable number of args: choice 'prompt string' 'choice text 1' CONFIG_CHOICE1 'choice text 2' CONFIG_CHOICE2 CONFIG_CHOICE_DEFAULT This has already been invented, it's called nchoice, it's been documented in config-language.txt for some time, and I have working patches to implement it in all three bundled parsers. I suppose you could then extend it with dependencies by putting those at the end. That makes for minor parsing problems, since you have to detect which arguments are which - basically I guess you look for two CONFIG_* in a row. The problem is that nchoice really only gives you spaces in sub-prompts; is not expressive enough to cleanly handle some of the cases in the existing corpus. For example, # arch/ia64/config.in if [ $CONFIG_ITANIUM = y ]; then choice 'Kernel page size' \ 4KBCONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_4KB \ 8KBCONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_8KB \ 16KB CONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_16KB 16KB else choice 'Kernel page size' \ 4KBCONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_4KB \ 8KBCONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_8KB \ 16KB CONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_16KB \ 64KB CONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_64KB 16KB fi What this is trying to do is make the 64KB entry visible only when CONFIG_ITANIUM=n, and the hack is to provide two separate nearly-identical choice statements. This works OK in config menuconfig but looks down- right strange in xconfig. CML2 handled this by admitting that a choice is really a funny kind of menu, and the parts of a choice are really bools which have an extra exclusivity semantic attached. So visibility conditions could be set on individual choice items, because they were menu nodes just like bools. If you wanted to add the ability to express this in CML1, you would need a completely different syntax for choices, say something like this: menuchoice next_comment comment 'Kernel page size' choiceitem '4KB' CONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_4KB choiceitem '8KB' CONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_8KB choiceitem '16KB' CONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_16KB default if [ $CONFIG_ITANIUM != y ]; then choiceitem '64KB' CONFIG_IA64_PAGE_SIZE_64KB fi endmenuchoice i.e. menuchoice is a menu which takes only choiceitem children, and choiceitem is just like a bool except it has an optional extra argument to indicate it's the default item. I already rejected trying to do any sort of grouping - mostly because the shell parsers would choke on ( ) and nothing else looks as nice - so, since there is no way to group things, the precedence table needs to be as simple and clear as possible. I think my current proposal fits the bill. Yes, grouping is Too Hard with shell parsers. According to MEC, Linus once said, There are no default values, only default answers to questions. If a question is never asked, the value is never set. This property is used in 'make oldconfig', for one, although your proposed change wouldn't directly affect oldconfig. I'd really rather not change this property, it's actually quite useful. ESR ran into trouble when he made and n indistinguishable in the .config file, and then tried to get CML2 to work with Giacomo Catenazzi's autoconfigurator.

For any of these strategies to be successful you would need to start with a clean clear and consistent rules corpus. Remember how people were complaining that ESR couldn't prove that the CML2 rules corpus did the same things as the CML1 rules corpus? One of the reasons was that the CML1 rules corpus is so screwed that's its impossible for either a human or a machine to figure out what was supposed to happen and whether what was actually happening was deliberate. Roman, I believe the exactly same issue will apply to your config system too, because it uses a machine translation step from CML1. GCML2's syntax checker started life as a CML1-to-CML2 converter (inspired by your work), but I gave up on machine translating because it would be GIGO. This is why I'm not talking about replacing shell based parsers yet.

I tend to favour the piecemeal approach but I'm not particularly fussed as long as it actually gets done. It'd be nice to introduce a warning for statements where the old syntax is used, but that seems not possible at least in Configure, since I think statements like dep_tristate '...'

Agreed, and there several of them in the CML1 corpus, some rather obscure (e.g. the define and the query happen in different Config.in files and only for some architectures). Setting CONFIG_QUUX to y when CONFIG_FOO is n can be done in an else clause to the if statement. If you want to set a default, that's what defconfig is for. Yes. What's nice is that you identified so many problematic cases already, so fixing shouldn't be hard.

[kbuild-devel] Re: [patch] config language dep_* enhancements
Peter Samuelson wrote: You're willing to potentially perturb 2.4? This stuff is trivial enough, and easy enough to test, that I think it could go in 2.4, yes. I think you're underestimating the Gordian knot that is the CML1 corpus. Obviously xconfig would need to be dealt with in sync with the others, which I'm not doing during the prototyping / idea-mongering stage. Fair enough. I'm pleased to see that you have preserved those semantics. There are many places in the corpus where a dep_* lists as a dependency a variable which is not defined until later, or is only defined in some architectures, or is never defined. Earlier today I tweaked up gcml2 to detect them and found 260 in 2.5.29. You give me too much credit. The main motivation for dropping the '$' was to make possible the == n semantics. That the patch failed to do so was accident, not design. Ah, well that's more disturbing. Changing the existing semantics, regardless of how broken we all agree they are, is asking for a world of trouble. To pick an example, in 2.5.29 drivers/ide/Config.in:17 is dep_tristate 'SCSI emulation support' CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI $CONFIG_ATAPI $CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE $CONFIG_SCSI But at this point in the menu tree for 14 of 17 architectures, CONFIG_SCSI has not yet been defined. The result is that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI only works in make config and make allyesconfig precisely because of the semantic that you wish to change. In fact this is the first one gcml2 finds, I don't particularly feel like trawling through the other two hundred-odd. Some of them are harmless, I don't know how many. I know the current behavior is documented, but I had thought this was because changing the behavior was not feasible due to our Bash-based JIT parsers. Yes, changing the behaviour is infeasible with shell-based parsers. However, there is now a body of rules which implictly depend on the semantics. Can you provide a rationale for why the current behavior is desirable? I wouldn't call it desirable. I would use words like clunky, congealed, unorthogonal, riddled with errors, and very hard to fix like the rest of the config language. It seems to me that it only encourages buggy Config.in code (since == n in other contexts like the #defines), And != n in other contexts, like if [];then statements. Did I mention unorthogonal ? The problem is that logic in config language is implicitly four-state, with the null or empty value being a separate value distinct from y, m and n. The fact that both and n mean don't build this object to kbuild doesn't mean that and n are the same thing. This isn't really obvious. One example where there is a semantic difference between and n would be an autoconfigurator, where n would mean I have probed for this hardware and it is not present but means something like I have not probed. and I don't see any benefits other than that it's the status quo. I'm not defending the current syntax. It sucks and it's broken. But fixing it will break things that currently aren't broken (or more accurately are broken twice in opposite directions). If it's your intention to change the semantics of , perhaps it would be better to add new statements which feature the new syntax and new semantics *only* and have no backwards compatibility baggage. An example of this approach is the nchoice statement, which does the same thing as choice but with a more civilized syntax. + case $arg in + y|m|n) ;; + *) arg=$(eval echo \$$arg) ;; Don't you want to check at this point that arg starts with CONFIG_? Also, how about quoting \$$arg ? I suppose one could add sanity checks / diagnostics, but there are no other valid cases, so that's all they would be. Yes, but there are invalid cases, and surely you don't want to help to *increase* the amount of bugginess in the rules corpus?

Also some of these have been fixed in 2.5.30. I can post the full list if people want, but it would be a bit overwhelming. In this case the fix would be to move CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI to the SCSI subsystem, where in my opinion it belonged anyway. Ok then. This would break down if there are any actual cycles - things which can't logically be moved to a place after the definitions of the facilities on which they depend. I'm not able to detect anything like that. That we have to worry about this at all is an artifact of using a procedural langauge, rather than a declarative language like Prolog or CML2. Actually config language isn't really procedural, pseudo-procedural would be more like it. I *really* don't want to go *there*, though. (: Yep. And != n in other contexts, like if [];then statements. That is true. But that should not affect the dep_* logic, should it? Correct, I'm just pointing out that using orthogonality arguments with the config language is not going to get you anywhere useful. The point here is that people who aren't hip-deep in config language code don't think about them being separate. Ergo bugs. Agreed. I've been thinking hard about a new sort of 'if' statement that doesn't look like a test command. Interesting, I'd like to hear more. My favourite idea is a different form of choice which worked more like a menu, so you could intersperse conditionals with the choice items. This would help with the several places in CML1 were the same choice is mostly-duplicated in different conditionals, e.g. 'Kernel page size' in arch/ia64/config.in. ESR worked out a sensible set of semantics for how this should work. (Yes, it's my mission to eventually get rid of the '$'s in config language. I think it can be done, piecemeal, over a long period of time. Sounds good to me. This is if we don't end up adopting a whole new language like CML2 or Roman's stuff.) Or a new parser frontends for the existing language. I'm not convinced that a complete new language will ever succeed after the CML2 debacle, machine translated or not. This is why I gave up the idea of automatically converting CML1 to CML2.

It's a weird case where a single driver can be built with or without using the SCSI subsystem - in effect, two drivers sharing a single piece of hardware and presenting two views of it. Bizarre. My preferred fix is to move the 'tristate CONFIG_SCSI' to early in the Block Devices menu. ATA should be under Block Devices too, come to think of it, and perhaps a generic guard for non-IDE-non-SCSI RAID cards. The actual menus could come later under toplevel, or be nested within Block Devices. Along these lines, CML2 had a menu 'buses' very early in the root of the tree, containing queries for ISA, PCI, MCA, SERIAL, PARPORT, HOTPLUG, IDE, SCSI, USB, IEEE1394 and FC4. I won't post the code here because I can't fully understand it anymore :-( All in all, by asserting that 'n' == '', you can drop all the 'define_bool FOO n' from the arch/*/config.in files (like CONFIG_SBUS on i386 or CONFIG_PCI on s390), and you can drop a *lot* of guard 'if' statements.

You will also probably want to deal with the cases where possibly null-valued symbols are compared against n like this if [ $CONFIG_NOT_DECLARED != n ]; then 73 forward-compared-to-n 13 drivers/parport/Config.in:40:CONFIG_ZORRO 13 sound/oss/Config.in:209:CONFIG_INPUT_GAMEPORT 11 drivers/parport/Config.in:14:CONFIG_SERIAL 10 drivers/media/video/Config.in:33:CONFIG_USB 6 drivers/video/Config.in:134:CONFIG_I2C 3 drivers/net/Config.in:324:CONFIG_CARDBUS 3 drivers/scsi/Config.in:264:CONFIG_PCMCIA 2 drivers/char/Config.in:193:CONFIG_PCMCIA 2 drivers/net/Config.in:327:CONFIG_PCMCIA 2 drivers/net/wireless/Config.in:27:CONFIG_PCMCIA 2 drivers/net/wireless/Config.in:41:CONFIG_PCMCIA 2 drivers/scsi/Config.in:116:CONFIG_PARPORT 1 arch/alpha/config.in:262:CONFIG_PROC_FS 1 arch/sh/config.in:298:CONFIG_MAPLE 1 drivers/ide/Config.in:26:CONFIG_PCI 1 drivers/parport/Config.in:27:CONFIG_PCMCIA I think it's worth it. It will take some time to go through your 260 unique warnings (984 total), of course. ;-) BTW - speaking of the length of your warnings list - what would be *really* nice would be a way to determine that a particular forward declared symbol is actually a never-in-this-arch declared symbol. That would eliminate most of the false positives. If for example we can determine that we will never define CONFIG_ZORRO on this arch, we can safely assume that anything which depends on CONFIG_ZORRO *should* be suppressed. Shouldn't be too hard, I'm already doing something like this to distinguish between forward declared and undeclared symbols for the forward-reference and undeclared-symbol warnings.

Re: [kbuild-devel] [patch] config language dep_* enhancements
G'day,
I like the basic idea here, and I'm pleased that someone has the courage to
tackle some of the brokenness of the kconfig language (if only because it
will provide me with a precedent when I try to submit some of my patches ;-).
I was a bit worried when I first saw the patch (after all, kconfig is held
together with spit and string) but on careful reading it's mostly doing the
right thing. Mostly.

As you're hacking Configure anyway, what about fixing

I've thought about that many times. I think the cleanest solution is
to deprecate the '$' entirely:
dep_tristate ' ..' CONFIG_FOO CONFIG_BAR
This applies to 2.4.20pre and (except changelog bits) to 2.5.30 with
offsets.
You're willing to potentially perturb 2.4?
I still haven't touched xconfig, because frankly it scares
me. The tkparse.c vs Peter match is well underway, stay tuned..
Good luck, it scares me too.

The last statement is inconsistent with the shell code and the explanations of
the dep_* statements, which sensibly preserve the current semantics where
an undefined symbol has a distinct fourth value which is not y, m or n.
I'm pleased to see that you have preserved those semantics. There are many
places in the corpus where a dep_* lists as a dependency a variable which is
not defined until later, or is only defined in some architectures, or is never
defined. Earlier today I tweaked up gcml2 to detect them and found 260 in
2.5.29.
+In addition, the /dep/ may have a prefix !, which negates the

Perhaps negates isn't quite the right word in four-state logic.

So whats left in current kbuild that is considered broken? Keith has a file with a long list of kbuild bugs and design flaws, all of which he has fixed in kbuild-2.5. I don't know which of these Kai has addressed, but I'll bet lunch it's a long way short of all of them. The statement that the builds are more accurate is no longer true. kbuild tracks ALL dependencies and recompile if the command line changed as well. But please prove me wrong I may have overlooked something. I'll let Keith point out all the cases Kai hasn't handled.

Re: [kbuild-devel] Re: [PATCH] kconfig: menuconfig and config uses $objtree
Sam Ravnborg wrote: Every CML program - There are 3 CML programs within the kernel tree (Configure, menuconfig and xconfig). To me the best thing that could happen was that they disappeared, being replaced by a single config tool - that provided the same type of interfaces. This tools we could extend to do a little more semantic checks etc. sigh if only... There exist several not-in-the-tree config tools, and they just have to adapt. No-one told them they could rely on current behaviour forever. Speaking as the author of one of these, I'm willing to deal with this behaviour change. I hope that one of the existing out-of-tree tools (mconfig, llc, autoconf, CML2, GCML2 - others?) one day will get mature enough to replace the existing tools. I don't think maturity is the issue, or CML2 would have been merged by now. Create a shadow structure for config tools to use - The only sole reason why kbuild.2-5 needs to create a shadow tree of all the config related files is simply that you have decided what you consider the best way to support shadow trees are. So in our discussion about shadow-tress I recall you mentioned several times that using a built-only tree of src-files would create a lot of problems when changes were made, and you had to distribute changes back in the original trees. My point then was that changes were always made in the original tree. And now I see that you use the exact same apporach for config-files within kbuild-2.5. So do you agree that creating a built-only tree suddenly becomes an OK solution? Keith Owens Sam Ravnborg +- symlink tree | for source |bad good | symlink tree | good bad for config | As for me, I'm agnostic. In GCML2, getting from the argument to the source statement to an argument to fopen(3) is by far the least of the problems caused by having to parse CML1 rules. Therefor I see a good point optimizing the current config tools to current kbuild. I see no point in keeping the current behaviour if this is only for the sake of kbuild-2.5. Agreed.

Re: [kbuild-devel] Some feedback on using kbuild
G'day, I'll just briefly unlurk on the subject of kbuild before getting back to the kconfig bughunt. Sam Ravnborg wrote: On Mon, Jun 24, 2002 at 08:49:34AM +1000, Keith Owens wrote: [...] There is absolutely no requirement that all kernel developers uses the same SCM system. Agreed. But this means that when dealing with the kernel build system we need to plan for the case where someone is working in a workarea built from a combination of two or more trees, partial trees, or patches from different sources kept in different SCMs. So we need to plan for the lowest common denominator in SCM systems, which is none at all i.e. getting a bunch of tarballs from ftp.kernel.org and elsewhere. Obviously the kernel build system should work for everyone irrespective of the SCM system in use. This put at least the following demands: 1) Separate OBJ and SRC tree 2) That kbuild does not touch any files in the SRC tree Yes, this is the absolute minimum useful behaviour for a build system. For example autoconf/automake work this way in user space. Note that kbuild 2.4 doesn't work this way (or at least it didn't before Kai got started). Without shadow trees, I had to maintain 8 separate source trees to support those combinations. [...] Manually tracking and replicating changes across multiple source trees takes far too much time and is error prone. All the above look like ordinary problems for me, and we can only agree that some kind of tool support is needed during daily work with this amount of different trees. So the point for discussion is solely: a) Where is this functionality best located b) How to implement this I have seen NO discussion of the above items so far. Therefore I bring it up now together with my opinions. Fair enough. Shadow tree functionality = The functionality to support shadow trees are best located in an SCM tool. If the developer or group in question does not use a SCM tool - or maybe a non-coherent setup with two different SCM tools then there is a need to support this at another place. The best place is in between the kbuild and the trees managed. Sure, this is basically an SCM problem, and in an ideal world would be handled by the SCM tool and kbuild itself would just see a unified view of files. However in the real world we need to plan for the case where the SCM is too dumb to do this and too (ahem) precious to be fixed to do this, or even nonexistant, so we end up having to do it in kbuild. This is the same reason why we have the extraordinary complexity of autoconf and automake for usermode programs: it's regrettably necessary to deal with imperfect and unfixable platforms. How to implement shadow trees = within the SCM tool. It no SCM tool is used then a simple script that takes all updates from one or more separate SRC trees and copy them to a common place could do it. And then afterwards we've got to untangle this mess again, completely reliably and automatically. The beauty of having proper shadow trees is that the trees are kept completely separate at all times except in the compiler. There is *no* danger of ending up sending the wrong patch to the wrong place or checking the wrong file into the wrong SCM. [...] In some (most?) SCM systems, the checkout process on a file resets the timestamp to when it was checked in. I have worked with the following SCM systems: RCS, Clearcase, BitKeeper None of them had this BUG! CVS does this. Maybe there's a way to turn it off, I don't know. Another set of problems with an SCM is separating the change sets when you [...] do the check in. [...] In Cleacase I just establish two different views. No problem. I BitKeeper I just execute bk clone twice. No problem. So I do not recognize the problems that you describe above. But it could be me that is unfamilar with CVS, PRCS, arch, ??? It is a problem with every SCM too dumb to know about change sets, in particular CVS. Remember, CVS is used by everyone too poor for ClearCase and too cautious or oldfashioned for BK. When shadow trees were first suggested I argued against them, but experience has shown that they are better than an SCM system. I agree with Keith, shadow trees rock. I think they are probably the single most useful feature of kbuild 2.5. I fervently hope we end up with shadow trees or something like them by the end of Linux 2.5.

Keith's solution of pre-processing Makefiles and Makefile.appends from all the shadow trees into a combined Makefile doesn't handle all the cases but is the best attempt I've seen so far. Keith's approach is the only working attempt to handle shadow trees outside a modern SCM tool. So obviously it is the best so far. Actually the SuperH port uses a sort of poor man's shadow tree, where we get a shadow tree from CVS and then use a script to symlink the shadow tree's files into the main tree. I understand this approach was copied from another port, although I can't remember which. So now we assume BK? What's next, Python 2.1? People are not forced to use BK whatsoever. Last time I looked there were still regulary patches available at kernel.org - where does this come into the picture. Sorry, this was a rhetorical question, I'll try to be clearer next time. But on the other hand, if people want decent support for parrallel development then a modern (not CVS) SCM tools is perferable. Be that BitKeeper, PRCS, arch or whatever. Some people, I believe a significant number, are still stuck in the CVS dark ages. CVS still has some advantages, e.g. you can get a free, public, remote CVS repository at sourceforge.net for basically zero effort. I won't attempt to argue that CVS is better than BK (although I might argue its more practical than PRCS for some tasks). But the reality is that it's still out there, it's mature and it's quirks are well known by those who use it. The reality is also that some people have no SCM at all, our beloved leader being one these until recently. If people refuses to use existing tools solving a specific problem then thay are on their own. I see no point in integrating this deep into kbuild because some people do not want to, or do not understand how to do parrallel development using a proper SCM tool. The problem is that when you're dealing with a combined tree built from source published by multiple people with varying SCM setups (including none at all) you soon end up working with the lowest common denominator of all those SCM setups, i.e. none at all. Hence, to get all the benefits of (say) BK, we *all* need to be running BK. Until we reach this state of Nirvana, tree management will be very very painful for some people. This does not stop any attemp to make a simple wrapper that creates and maintain a BUILD_TREE. To check timestamps and link accordinly should not take too much time, at least not at the second run. Ok, why don't you and Peter Samuelson get together, create such a thing and we can compare it against kbuild2.5? If it's simple and a win, great!

[kbuild-devel] kconfig problems
G'day, A couple of people have asked me how I'm finding all the kconfig problems for which I've been submitting trivial patches, so I thought I'd post a few words about the tool I'm using. I've written a CML1 parsing backend for gcml2, my C implementation of CML2. Getting a bison parser to swallow CML1 was not difficult, but munging the data structures thus generated into rulebase structures designed for CML2 was interesting. In the process I learnt a lot about CML1, most of it stuff I would rather not have learnt. I've also created a new program which uses this parser to parse and merge all 17 CML1 config trees together, finding global problems like symbols which are never defined. Below is a summary of the warnings produced by the CML1 checker run over 2.5.24 (plus the patches I've posted since .24). Note that these numbers should be considered an approximation. The checker both overcounts some warnings (ambiguous comparisons are counted once for each arch tree they appear in, so a single line can result in 17 warnings) and undercounts others (forward references are only counted the first time a symbol is referenced). 11 crud after bool Symbol references or tristate constants appearing after the last valid argument in a bool or tristate statement, either because someone thought they were using dep_bool or because they thought that bool takes a default value argument like hex and string. 13 missing obsolete tag A symbol depends on CONFIG_OBSOLETE but does not say so in it's banner. Interestingly, CONFIG_OBSOLETE is itself never defined. 565 missing experimental tag A symbol depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in it's banner. The large number is due to whole menu subtrees being sourced inside if. 41 spurious obsolete tag A symbol's banner says it depends on CONFIG_OBSOLETE but it doesn't. 111 forward reference A symbol was used before it was defined. This counts three different cases: 1) poor menu design (e.g. CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_PCI) 2) a symbol cross-referenced from another arch tree (e.g. CONFIG_SPARC32) or 3) a symbol never defined anywhere (e.g. CONFIG_405). 117 spurious experimental tag A symbol's banner says it depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but it doesn't. 60 symbol redefined with different banner A symbol was defined multiple times in different arch trees or in different branches of if statements with different banner strings. A very small number of these could arguably be justified; the vast majority are just trivial errors. 21 undeclared symbol A symbol was used but never declared in any of the arch trees. 25 variant obsolete tag A variant form of the (OBSOLETE) tag (e.g. lowercase) was used in a symbol's banner. 2602ambiguous comparison to n A symbol was used in an if statement of the form if [ $CONFIG_FOO != n ], which is ambiguous when the symbol has no default value from defconfig. Some of these warnings are spurious because there will always be a value for the symbol from defconfig. 115 variant experimental tag A variant form of the (EXPERIMENTAL) tag (e.g. lowercase) was used in a symbol's banner. As you can see, CML1 is a sick sick puppy and the stuff I've submitted so far is only the very easiest of the easy fixes.

G'day,
Here's the SuperH patches for kbuild-2.5 upgraded to 2.2 (kernel 2.5.10).
There's no functional change except that 2.5.10 is slightly less broken
than 2.5.8 so the hacks patch is smaller.
I just noticed that 2.3 is out...sigh if I'd started an hour earlier
perhaps this message wouldn't be obsolete at posting. Anyway I'll
update SuperH to 2.3 on Friday.
Greg.

[kbuild-devel] KBuild 2.5 SuperH port
G'day,
Here's the patches to support the SuperH architecture in kbuild 2.5.
The patches are against kbuild-2.5 2.1 (Linux 2.5.8). See the README
for details. I'll start work on upgrading to kbuild-2.5 (Linux 2.5.10)
in the next couple of days.
Remaining issues:
* I can't figure out if arch/sh/overdrive/ is still used or not. Stuart?
* I haven't fixed LinuxSH to use asm-offsets yet. This will happen in
a second pass.
* Unfortunately I found a few places where the sh patch overlaps
with the kbuild common patch. I have isolated these into a
new shcommon patch which is applied *after* kbuild common.
* I had to hack Linux 2.5.8 to get it to build with CONFIG_SMP=n,
CONFIG_PCI=n, CONFIG_IDE=m. This is the hacks patch.
* There's an issue with Makefile.defs.{no,}config and drop-in trees
which I will pursue separately.
Greg.

kbuild-2.5-core-8 would be better, it has a couple of bug fixes from -6.
Coming up in the next few days.
While we're here, can you shed some light on this issue?
If I apply the SuperH kbuild patch to the SuperH dropin tree
($KBUILD_SRCTREE_001) instead of applying to the mainline tree
($KBUILD_SRCTREE_000) I get the following messages when I make
oldconfig:
gnb@marduk 1086 set | grep KBUILD
KBUILD_OBJTREE=/somedir/obj/
KBUILD_SRCTREE_000=/somedir/linux-2.5.8/

gnb@marduk 1087 make -f $KBUILD_SRCTREE_000/Makefile-2.5 \

Generating global Makefile
[...]
SuperH development work uses a drop-in tree for the SuperH arch code.
This tree is controlled in CVS and periodically synced with Linus.
Obviously, between syncs the CVS advances so that files in the drop-in
tree are in general newer than files in the Linus tree. If kbuild looks
for Makefile.defs.{no,}config in $KBUILD_SRCTREE_000 only, or even first,
there are going to be problems when those files change in the drop-in
tree.
So what's the story, was I doing something wrong?
Greg.
