2021-07-28Rename SPL_USB_HOST_SUPPORT to SPL_USB_HOSTSimon Glass1-1/+1
Rename this option so that CONFIG_IS_ENABLED can be used with it. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2021-03-05buildman: Support single-threaded operationSimon Glass1-0/+5
At present even if only a single thread is in use, buildman still uses threading. For some debugging it is helpful to do everything in the main process. Allow -T0 to support this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-07-29buildman: Show the build rate at the endSimon Glass1-0/+13
It is interesting to note the number of builds completed per second to track machine performance and build speed. Add a 'rate' value at the end of the build to show this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-04-26buildman: Make sure that -o is given with -wSimon Glass1-1/+2
It is a bad idea to use the default output directory ('..') with -w since it does a build in that directory and writes various files these. Require that -o is given to avoid this problem. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-04-21buildman: Change the exit codesSimon Glass1-6/+6
The current exit codes of 128 and 129 are useful in that they do not conflict with those returned by tools, but they are not actually valid. It seems better to pick some codes which work with 'bit bisect run'. Update them to 100 (for errors) and 101 (for warnings). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-04-21buildman: Update the TODO itemsSimon Glass1-6/+11
A few of these have been done. Drop those and add some new ideas. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-04-21buildman: Add an option to ignore migration warningsSimon Glass1-1/+1
These are becoming more common now. They cause boards to show warnings which can be mistaking for compiler warnings. Add a buildman option to ignore them. This option works only with the summary option (-s). It does not affect the build process. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-04-21buildman: Add an option to ignore device-tree warningsSimon Glass1-0/+3
Unfortunately the plague of device-tree warnings has not lifted. These warnings infiltrate almost every build, adding noise and confusion. Add a buildman option to ignore them. This option works only with the summary option (-s). It does not affect the build process. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2020-04-21buildman: Make -I the defaultSimon Glass1-7/+6
At present buildman defaults to running 'mrproper' on every thread before it starts building commits for each board. This can add a delay of about 5 seconds to the start of the process, since the tools and other invariants must be rebuilt. In particular, a build without '-b', to build current source, runs much slower without -I, since any existing build is removed, thus losing the possibility of an incremental build. Partly this behaviour was to avoid strange build-system problems caused by running 'make defconfig' for one board and then one with a different architecture. But these problems were fixed quite a while ago. The -I option (which disabled mrproper) was introduced four years ago and does not seem to cause any problems with builds. So make -I the default and deprecate the option. To allow use of 'mrproper', add a new -m flag. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2020-04-11buildman: Drop the -a optionSimon Glass1-2/+2
There is no point in setting the ARCH environment variable since the U-Boot build system no-longer uses it. It seems safe to drop this feature since it was only recently added. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>
2020-04-11buildman: Allow ignoring warnings in the return codeSimon Glass1-2/+18
Sometimes we don't want buildman to return failure if it seems warnings. Add a -W option to support this. If buildman detects warnings (and no errors) it will return an exit code of 0 (success). Note that the definition of 'warnings' includes the migration warnings produced by U-Boot, such as: ===================== WARNING ====================== This board does not use CONFIG_DM_MMC.

2019-12-11buildman: Add options to get the arch and toolchain infoSimon Glass1-0/+3

2018-11-14buildman: Add a --boards option to specify particular boards to buildSimon Glass1-1/+11
At present 'buildman sandbox' will build all 5 boards for the sandbox architecture rather than the single board 'sandbox'. The only current way to exclude sandbox_spl, sandbox_noblk, etc. is to use -x which is a bit clumbsy. Add a --boards option to allow individual build targets to be specified.

2018-05-07SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel styleTom Rini1-3/+1
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line) and with slightly different comment styles than us. In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style. This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag and have introduced one. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>
2017-07-06avr32: Retire AVR32 for goodAndy Shevchenko1-9/+2
AVR32 is gone. It's already more than two years for no support in Buildroot, even longer there is no support in GCC (last version is heavily patched 4.2.4). Linux kernel v4.12 got rid of it (and v4.11 didn't build successfully). There is no good point to keep this support in U-Boot either.

When using #define CONFIG_SOME_OPTION, the value it set to '1'. When using defconfig (i.e. CONFIG_SOME_OPTION=y) the value is set to 'y'. This results in differences showing up with -K.

2016-05-17buildman: allow more incremental buildingStephen Warren1-0/+42
One use-case for buildman is to continually run it interactively after each small step in a large refactoring operation. This gives more immediate feedback than making a number of commits and then going back and testing them. For this to work well, buildman needs to be extremely fast. At present, a couple issues prevent it being as fast as it could be: 1) Each time buildman runs "make %_defconfig", it runs "make mrproper" first. This throws away all previous build results, requiring a from-scratch build. Optionally avoiding this would speed up the build, at the cost of potentially causing or missing some build issues. 2) A build tree is created per thread rather than per board. When a thread switches between building different boards, this often causes many files to be rebuilt due to changing config options. Using a separate build tree for each board would avoid this. This does put more strain on the system's disk cache, but it is worth it on my system at least. This commit adds two command-line options to implement the changes described above; -I ("--incremental") turns of "make mrproper" and -P ("--per-board-out-dir") creats a build directory per board rather than per thread. Tested: ./tools/buildman/buildman.py tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -I -P tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev tegra ./tools/buildman/buildman.py -b tegra_dev -I -P tegra ... each once after deleting the buildman result/work directory, and once "incrementally" after a previous identical invocation.
