Re: [PATCH 5/6] x86: move i386 and x86_64 Kconfig files to x86 directory

This series kill the old i386 and x86_64 directories.
The relevant files are moved and adapted and
Kconfig.debug was consolidated (thanks to Randy).

I had to modify both the top-lvel Makefile and the kconfig
Makefile to accomplish this. It was done in such a way that
it is trivial for other archs to use the same mechanism
should they have the need.

To solve the defconfig issue (i386 and x86_64 cannot share one)
the arch/x86/configs/ directory were introduced. This has
been used by other archs for some time now but x86 had not had
the need until now.

The Kconfig files could be consolidated much more - I only
did the minimal changes to make it work in the new place.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: move i386 and x86_64 Makefiles to arch/x86

Moving the ARCH specific Makefiles for i386 and x86_64
required a litle bit tweaking in the top-lvel Makefile.

SRCARCH is now set in the top-level Makefile
because we need this info to include the correct
arch Makefile.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: move defconfig files for i386 and x86_64 to x86

With some small changes to kconfig makefile we can now
locate the defconfig files for i386 and x86_64 in
the configs/ subdirectory under x86.
make ARCH=i386 defconfig and make defconfig
works as expected also after this change.
But arch maintainers shall now update a defconfig file in
the configs/ directory.

why disabling early_printk for x86_64?

It doesn't do that.  EARLY_PRINTK for x86_64 lives in
arch/x86_64/Kconfig (i.e., a different file).

Patches welcome.

arch/x86/Kconfig.debug and it make EARLY_PRINTK depend on x86_32

The abovce disables the prompt but 
arch/x86_64/Kconifg.x86_64 set the value to y so EARLY_PRINTK is
always enabled (see answer I wrote to Kay).

This patchset leaves room for futher clean-up which is
welcome. The aim was to unify the two Kconfig.debug file
where Randy did a quick and good job. The aim was not
maximum unification of the Kconfig files used for the two
ARCH's this comes later - and there are much to be done
here.

Please let me know if you see other issues woth the patch serie.

Good. that compiles without problem on x86_64.

BTW:
why not using Kconfig.x86_32 instead of Kconfig.i386?

From: Sam Ravnborg

See scripts/kconfig/Makefile:
Here we use (in the x86 case):
Kconfig := arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kconfig.$(ARCH)

So the "i386" comes from ARCH equals to i386.

The advantage is that the patch to kconfig
is generic so other arch's can use SRCARCH if they like
without having a hardcoded list in the kconfig Makefile.

git will most likely not delete the directories for

Hey Sam,
I get this after a simple pull from your tree and a: make clean; make:
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1

I think this is my changes to the Kconfig.debug path
I received from Randy.

Checking....
Yup - reverting my change bring back EARLY_PRINTK wich is
always required on x86_64.

I will redo the series - and build test a bit more.
Thanks.

	Sam

Sam,


Thanks for doing this.

I think the last remaining bit to cleanup is the symlink from
arch/x86/boot/bzImage. Now that the old directories are gone it does
not make much sense to keep them alive. Andrew will survive it :)

Please send it Linus wards and feel free to add my Acked-by to all of
them.

Thanks,

	tglx

Hi Linus.

This patch serie kill the old i386 and x86_64 directories.
Introducing a few trivial changes in top-level Makefile
and kconfig Makefile allows us to move all files to
arch/x86/ where they belong.

Kay Sievers hit a bug in the first patch-set - this is now fixed and
the updated patch set is uploaded to my x86.git tree.
Build tested on both i386 and x86_64.
I test builded a few other archs just to check that I did not break them.

Shortlog:

Randy Dunlap (1):
      x86: unification of i386 and x86_64 Kconfig.debug

Sam Ravnborg (5):
      x86: move i386 and x86_64 Makefiles to arch/x86
      x86: move defconfig files for i386 and x86_64 to x86
      kconfig: small code refactoring in kconfig Makefile
      x86: move i386 and x86_64 Kconfig files to x86 directory
      x86: kill the old i386 and x86_64 directories

A nice patch serie that deletes more lines than it adds.

Under normal circumstances I would not send this to you after the
merge ...

It is not just Andrew I'm afraid.
We got a Debian bug-report too when we did not have the symlink and I
asume this is true for several others.
We should let it stay in 2.6.24 and remove the symlink for 2.6.25 IMO.

I would put it on the list and leave it for a couple of years so that
people using old distros have all upgraded at that point. Adrian will
remember to delete it if its on the list to go ....

that's the worst of all things to do... either make a change in ONE go,
when you do all the changes anyway (users will remmeber 2.6.24 was the
unification kernel, but 2.6.25 breaking stuff will be a total
surprise)... or keep them around forever. As long as it works, nobody
will change the scripts.
