Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] selftests/nolibc: add XARCH and ARCH mapping support
Hi, Willy, Thomas
Beside the extra config stuff, here is the left one need your last confirm.
Let's summarize it, without 'override', we are able to use such styles (I added
a $(error ARCH=$(ARCH) XARCH=$(XARCH)) line for tmp test):
$ make ARCH=powerpc
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc. Stop.
$ make ARCH=powerpc XARCH=ppc
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc. Stop.
$ make ARCH=powerpc XARCH=ppc64
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc64. Stop.
$ make ARCH=powerpc XARCH=ppc66le
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc66le. Stop.
$ make XARCH=ppc
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc. Stop.
$ make XARCH=ppc64
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc64. Stop.
$ make XARCH=ppc64le
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc64le. Stop.
with 'override', we are further able to use:
$ make ARCH=powerpc
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc. Stop.
$ make ARCH=ppc
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc. Stop.
$ make ARCH=ppc64
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc64. Stop.
$ make ARCH=ppc64le
Makefile:29: *** ARCH=powerpc, XARCH=ppc64le. Stop.
So, with 'override', users will be able to directly use the famous ARCH, it is
able to accept powerpc, ppc, ppc64, ppc64le and users can simply ignore XARCH
and we are able to only use XARCH as an internal variable to temply save input
ARCH and then convert it to an internal ARCH.
Without 'override', we must carefully document its usage, it may be:
# XARCH and ARCH mapping
#
# Usage:
# $ make ARCH=<kernel-supported-ARCH> XARCH=<nolibc-test-supported-variants> ...
#
# e.g. make ARCH=powerpc XARCH=[ppc|ppc64|ppc64le]
# XARCH is used to save user-input ARCH variant
# configure default variants for target kernel supported architectures
For the help page, if we only use '\$$XARCH or \$$ARCH', it may mislead users:
@echo " run-user runs the executable under QEMU (uses \$$ARCH or \\$XARCH, \$$TEST)"
That's why I at last add the 'override' keyword to make sure even if users
wrongly and only use ARCH as the argument, it must not fail, or we forcely ask
user pass ARCH and XARCH together.
@echo " run-user runs the executable under QEMU (uses \$$ARCH and \\$XARCH, \$$TEST)"
Or we simply only and always ask users to use XARCH (as the first version does)
for nolibc-test and let ARCH as the default one from a previous build kernel:
@echo " run-user runs the executable under QEMU (uses \$$XARCH, \$$TEST)"
That means, the ugly 'override' does help us to save lots of teach work ;-)
I'm ok with 'override' or not, welcome your confirm, which direction do you
prefer?
Thanks,
Zhangjin
