kbuild: add .SECONDARY special target to scripts/Kbuild.include

2019-01-15T20:28:53Z

Based on the following Linux commits: - 54a702f70589 ("kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and remove .PRECIOUS markers") - 8e9b61b293d9 ("kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include") GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated in a chain of pattern rules. Example 1) %.dtb.o <- %.dtb.S <- %.dtb <- %.dts Example 2) %.o <- %.c <- %.c_shipped A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY. .SECONDARY Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate files but are never automatically deleted. .PRECIOUS When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target file it is updating if the file was modified since make started. If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file if interrupted. Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target, but .PRECIOUS does not. The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets. .SECONDARY with no prerequisites causes all targets to be treated as secondary. This agrees the policy of Kbuild. scripts/Kbuild.include seems a suitable place to add it because it is included from almost all sub-makes. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style

2018-05-07T13:34:12Z

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

Remove unnecessary instances of DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR

2018-04-27T18:54:48Z

We have a large number of places where while we historically referenced gd in the code we no longer do, as well as cases where the code added that line "just in case" during development and never dropped it. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini

Drop the log buffer

This does not appear to be used by any boards. Before introducing a new log system, remove this old one. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Bin Meng

env: Rename getenv/_f() to env_get()

2017-08-16T12:30:24Z

We are now using an env_ prefix for environment functions. Rename these two functions for consistency. Also add function comments in common.h. Quite a few places use getenv() in a condition context, provoking a warning from checkpatch. These are fixed up in this patch also. Suggested-by: Wolfgang Denk Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

powerpc: remove 4xx support

2017-07-03T21:35:28Z

There was for long time no activity in the 4xx area. We need to go further and convert to Kconfig, but it turned out, nobody is interested anymore in 4xx, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Heiko Schocher
