Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 11:00:57 -0700 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...not-panic.com> To: backports@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, yann.morin.1998@...e.fr, mmarek@...e.cz, "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com> Subject: [RFC v1 0/3] backports: kernel integration support From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com> Here's my first batch if changes I've been grooming so far in order to support kernel integration for backports, that is in oder to allow folks to use backports to place drivers from future kernels backported for target specific older kernel source trees. We got away with not doing much modifications on backports for external module packages by relying on the CPTCFG hack which in itself relies on the fact that kconfig internally uses CONFIG_ as a macro for a getenv(), for kernel integration relying on this doesn't work well, so we either diverge for kernel integration or try to find a unified solution. Since we have to address built-in support it seems best to just address unifying the solution so I went with a CONFIG_BACKPORT prefix instead of CPTCFG. This requires quite a bit of changes on the Kconfig entries but also on the Makefiles. Another set of changes required for kernel integration is to ensure we provide a full path to the directory where we have our backport sources, for an external package this is all relateive to the parent directory but for kernel integration I've stuffed all backport code on the backports/ directory of the kernel source, this meant having to specify a variable for our paths so that we can use the same Makefiles for both packages / kernel integration. This bit of changes are just the first step, but since this is also a major change I think its best we start reviewing this now. So far things look OK and I just have to address what went wrong with compilation on older kernels: mcgrof@...bp1 ~/build/next-20141023 $ cat ckmake-report.log 1 3.0.101 [ FAIL ] 2 3.1.10 [ FAIL ] 3 3.2.62 [ FAIL ] 4 3.3.8 [ FAIL ] 5 3.4.104 [ FAIL ] 6 3.5.7 [ FAIL ] 7 3.6.11 [ FAIL ] 8 3.7.10 [ FAIL ] 9 3.8.13 [ FAIL ] 10 3.9.11 [ FAIL ] 11 3.10.58 [ OK ] 12 3.11.10 [ OK ] 13 3.12.31 [ OK ] 14 3.13.11 [ OK ] 15 3.14.22 [ OK ] 16 3.15.10 [ OK ] 17 3.16.6 [ OK ] 18 3.17.1 [ OK ] 19 3.18-rc1 [ OK ] Once this is address the next steps to take to finish kernel integration shouldn't be too hard. The real difficulty here is actually the logic behind what we should do for symbols on the kconfig entries once backported. I've stuffed most of that logic on the kconfig library we have, it is OK but with time I think we might want something a bit more well refined. If this looks OK I'll continue to chug on. Let me know.
