| 2019-02-13 | locking/atomics: Check atomic headers with sha1sum | Mark Rutland | 1 | -0/+1 | |
| We currently check the atomic headers at build-time to ensure they haven't been modified directly, and these checks require regenerating the headers in full. As this takes a few seconds, even when parallelized, this is too slow to run for every kernel build. Instead, we can generate a hash of each header as we generate them, which we can cheaply check at build time (~0.16s for all headers). This patch does so, updating headers with their hashes using the new gen-atomics.sh script. As some users apparently build the kernel wihout coreutils, lacking sha1sum, the checks are skipped in this case. Presumably, most developers have a working coreutils installation.

| 2018-11-01 | locking/atomics: Switch to generated fallbacks | Mark Rutland | 1 | -0/+2294 | |
| As a step to ensuring the atomic* APIs are consistent, switch to fallbacks generated by gen-atomic-fallback.sh. These are checked in rather than generated with Kbuild, since: * This allows inspection of the atomics with git grep and ctags on a pristine tree, which Linus strongly prefers being able to do. * The fallbacks are not affected by machine details or configuration options, so it is not necessary to regenerate them to take these into account. * These are included by files required *very* early in the build process (e.g. for generating bounds.h), and we'd rather not complicate the top-level Kbuild file with dependencies. The new fallback header should be equivalent to the old fallbacks in <linux/atomic.h>, but: * It is formatted a little differently due to scripting ensuring things are more regular than they used to be. * Fallbacks are now expanded in-place as static inline functions rather than macros. * The prototypes for fallbacks are arragned consistently with the return type on a separate line to try to keep to a sensible line length. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
