' - This config option was moved to the defconfig - - - CONFIG_... is not defined in Kconfig. Do nothing. - The entry for this CONFIG was not found in Kconfig. The option is not - defined in the config header, either. So, this case can be just skipped. - - - CONFIG_... is not defined in Kconfig (suspicious). Do nothing. - This option is defined in the config header, but its entry was not found - in Kconfig. - There are two common cases: - - You forgot to create an entry for the CONFIG before running - this tool, or made a typo in a CONFIG passed to this tool. - - The entry was hidden due to unmet 'depends on'. - The tool does not know if the result is reasonable, so please check it - manually. - - - 'CONFIG_...' is the same as the define in Kconfig. Do nothing. - The define in the config header matched the one in Kconfig. - We do not need to touch it. - - - Compiler is missing. Do nothing. - The compiler specified for this architecture was not found - in your PATH environment. - (If -e option is passed, the tool exits immediately.) - - - Failed to process. - An error occurred during processing this defconfig. Skipped. - (If -e option is passed, the tool exits immediately on error.) - -Finally, you will be asked, Clean up headers? [y/n]: - -If you say 'y' here, the unnecessary config defines are removed -from the config headers (include/configs/*.h). -It just uses the regex method, so you should not rely on it. -Just in case, please do 'git diff' to see what happened. - - -How does it work? ------------------ - -This tool runs configuration and builds include/autoconf.mk for every -defconfig. The config options defined in Kconfig appear in the .config -file (unless they are hidden because of unmet dependency.) -On the other hand, the config options defined by board headers are seen -in include/autoconf.mk. The tool looks for the specified options in both -of them to decide the appropriate action for the options. If the given -config option is found in the .config, but its value does not match the -one from the board header, the config option in the .config is replaced -with the define in the board header. Then, the .config is synced by -"make savedefconfig" and the defconfig is updated with it. - -For faster processing, this tool handles multi-threading. It creates -separate build directories where the out-of-tree build is run. The -temporary build directories are automatically created and deleted as -needed. The number of threads are chosen based on the number of the CPU -cores of your system although you can change it via -j (--jobs) option. - - -Toolchains ----------- - -Appropriate toolchain are necessary to generate include/autoconf.mk -for all the architectures supported by U-Boot. Most of them are available -at the kernel.org site, some are not provided by kernel.org. This tool uses -the same tools as buildman, so see that tool for setup (e.g. --fetch-arch). - - -Tips and trips --------------- - -To sync only X86 defconfigs: - - ./tools/moveconfig.py -s -d <(grep -l X86 configs/*) - -or: - - grep -l X86 configs/* | ./tools/moveconfig.py -s -d - - -To process CONFIG_CMD_FPGAD only for a subset of configs based on path match: - - ls configs/{hrcon*,iocon*,strider*} | \ - ./tools/moveconfig.py -Cy CONFIG_CMD_FPGAD -d - - - -Finding implied CONFIGs ------------------------ - -Some CONFIG options can be implied by others and this can help to reduce -the size of the defconfig files. For example, CONFIG_X86 implies -CONFIG_CMD_IRQ, so we can put 'imply CMD_IRQ' under 'config X86' and -all x86 boards will have that option, avoiding adding CONFIG_CMD_IRQ to -each of the x86 defconfig files. - -This tool can help find such configs. To use it, first build a database: - - ./tools/moveconfig.py -b - -Then try to query it: - - ./tools/moveconfig.py -i CONFIG_CMD_IRQ - CONFIG_CMD_IRQ found in 311/2384 defconfigs - 44 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_IFC_A002769 - 41 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A007075 - 31 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_VER_44 - 28 : CONFIG_ARCH_P1010 - 28 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_P1010_A003549 - 28 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_SEC_A003571 - 28 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_IFC_A003399 - 25 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A008044 - 22 : CONFIG_ARCH_P1020 - 21 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_VER_46 - 20 : CONFIG_MAX_PIRQ_LINKS - 20 : CONFIG_HPET_ADDRESS - 20 : CONFIG_X86 - 20 : CONFIG_PCIE_ECAM_SIZE - 20 : CONFIG_IRQ_SLOT_COUNT - 20 : CONFIG_I8259_PIC - 20 : CONFIG_CPU_ADDR_BITS - 20 : CONFIG_RAMBASE - 20 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A005871 - 20 : CONFIG_PCIE_ECAM_BASE - 20 : CONFIG_X86_TSC_TIMER - 20 : CONFIG_I8254_TIMER - 20 : CONFIG_CMD_GETTIME - 19 : CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A005812 - 18 : CONFIG_X86_RUN_32BIT - 17 : CONFIG_CMD_CHIP_CONFIG - ... - -This shows a list of config options which might imply CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM along -with how many defconfigs they cover. From this you can see that CONFIG_X86 -implies CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM. Therefore, instead of adding CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM to -the defconfig of every x86 board, you could add a single imply line to the -Kconfig file: - - config X86 - bool "x86 architecture" - ... - imply CMD_EEPROM - -That will cover 20 defconfigs. Many of the options listed are not suitable as -they are not related. E.g. it would be odd for CONFIG_CMD_GETTIME to imply -CMD_EEPROM. - -Using this search you can reduce the size of moveconfig patches. - -You can automatically add 'imply' statements in the Kconfig with the -a -option: - - ./tools/moveconfig.py -s -i CONFIG_SCSI \ - -a CONFIG_ARCH_LS1021A,CONFIG_ARCH_LS1043A - -This will add 'imply SCSI' to the two CONFIG options mentioned, assuming that -the database indicates that they do actually imply CONFIG_SCSI and do not -already have an 'imply SCSI'. - -The output shows where the imply is added: - - 18 : CONFIG_ARCH_LS1021A arch/arm/cpu/armv7/ls102xa/Kconfig:1 - 13 : CONFIG_ARCH_LS1043A arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/Kconfig:11 - 12 : CONFIG_ARCH_LS1046A arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/Kconfig:31 - -The first number is the number of boards which can avoid having a special -CONFIG_SCSI option in their defconfig file if this 'imply' is added. -The location at the right is the Kconfig file and line number where the config -appears. For example, adding 'imply CONFIG_SCSI' to the 'config ARCH_LS1021A' -in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/ls102xa/Kconfig at line 1 will help 18 boards to reduce -the size of their defconfig files. - -If you want to add an 'imply' to every imply config in the list, you can use - - ./tools/moveconfig.py -s -i CONFIG_SCSI -a all - -To control which ones are displayed, use -I where list is a list of -options (use '-I help' to see possible options and their meaning). - -To skip showing you options that already have an 'imply' attached, use -A. - -When you have finished adding 'imply' options you can regenerate the -defconfig files for affected boards with something like: - - git show --stat | ./tools/moveconfig.py -s -d - - -This will regenerate only those defconfigs changed in the current commit. -If you start with (say) 100 defconfigs being changed in the commit, and add -a few 'imply' options as above, then regenerate, hopefully you can reduce the -number of defconfigs changed in the commit. - - -Available options ------------------ - - -c, --color - Surround each portion of the log with escape sequences to display it - in color on the terminal. - - -C, --commit - Create a git commit with the changes when the operation is complete. A - standard commit message is used which may need to be edited. - - -d, --defconfigs - Specify a file containing a list of defconfigs to move. The defconfig - files can be given with shell-style wildcards. Use '-' to read from stdin. - - -n, --dry-run - Perform a trial run that does not make any changes. It is useful to - see what is going to happen before one actually runs it. - - -e, --exit-on-error - Exit immediately if Make exits with a non-zero status while processing - a defconfig file. - - -s, --force-sync - Do "make savedefconfig" forcibly for all the defconfig files. - If not specified, "make savedefconfig" only occurs for cases - where at least one CONFIG was moved. - - -S, --spl - Look for moved config options in spl/include/autoconf.mk instead of - include/autoconf.mk. This is useful for moving options for SPL build - because SPL related options (mostly prefixed with CONFIG_SPL_) are - sometimes blocked by CONFIG_SPL_BUILD ifdef conditionals. - - -H, --headers-only - Only cleanup the headers; skip the defconfig processing - - -j, --jobs - Specify the number of threads to run simultaneously. If not specified, - the number of threads is the same as the number of CPU cores. - - -r, --git-ref - Specify the git ref to clone for building the autoconf.mk. If unspecified - use the CWD. This is useful for when changes to the Kconfig affect the - default values and you want to capture the state of the defconfig from - before that change was in effect. If in doubt, specify a ref pre-Kconfig - changes (use HEAD if Kconfig changes are not committed). Worst case it will - take a bit longer to run, but will always do the right thing. - - -v, --verbose - Show any build errors as boards are built - - -y, --yes - Instead of prompting, automatically go ahead with all operations. This - includes cleaning up headers, CONFIG_SYS_EXTRA_OPTIONS, the config whitelist - and the README. - -To see the complete list of supported options, run - - $ tools/moveconfig.py -h - +See doc/develop/moveconfig.rst for documentation.
