arm: omap: reduce zImage size on omap2plus_defconfig

Commit Message

Felipe Balbi Dec. 22, 2014, 6:05 p.m. UTC

By converting a few drivers to modules because they
won't be needed during boot anyways, we can shave off
about 700KiB of text.

Note that while at that, and after discussions with Tony
Lindgren, a few extra drivers were either removed because
they weren't needed, or added because they're useful for
debugging/testing.

Below is output of size for pre and post vmlinux binaries:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

oh yeah, still boots fine with AM437x SK, Beagle Bone Black. Also boots
with Beagle X15, but that still needs a pending CPSW patch [1] for NFS
root.

Isn't this needed for the rootfs on SATA devices?

What about the NFS root for boards with only USB eth?

w/o this devices wired to twl gpios will not come up and likely

So, you don't consider USB a valid rootfs storage option?

there's no known boards with rootfs on SATA. Until then, we can reduce
the size.

USB is a module already and it breaks PM when enabled.

read the original defconfig. This is *only* for usbcore.ko, EHCI is
disabled, XHCI is a module, MUSB is disabled. What will you use for
rootfs ?

The TWL4030 part needs to be checked for the legacy booting to
make sure the board-*.c file *_twl_gpio_setup() callbacks still
work properly. Or you may want to leave it for later.

What makes you say so?
The decision for rootfs on SATA is taken dynamically.
OMAP5 boards (specifically cm-t54) can have rootfs on SATA...

Well, USB is not a module currently, but after reading below
I understand you mean HCDs are either disabled or modules.
Ok that's fine with me.

Yes, thanks for pointing. Now I see indeed this is a sensible thing
to do and probably should have been done a while ago.

Might be worth addressing/explaining this in the commit message.

I'll leave the decision to Tony. Even though they _can_, they really
don't and IIRC, OMAP5's SATA has so many silicon errata that it'd be
annoying to find that special device which works (e.g it can't negotiate
lower speeds with SATA III devices and it won't support SATA I).

As of today, we don't know of anybody really shipping anything with
rootfs on SATA and distros would rather ship initiramfs than a giant
zImage anyway.

Tony, your call.

I think we should move omap2plus_defconfig to be mostly modular and
usable for distros as a base. Most distros prefer to build almost
everything as loadable modules. And my preference is that we should
only keep the minimum rootfs for devices and serial support as
built-in and rely on initramfs for most drivers. And slowly move
also the remaining built-in drivers to be loadable modules.

The reasons for having drivers as loadable modules are many. It
allows distros to use the same kernel for all the devices without
bloating the kernel. It makes developing drivers easier as just the
module needs to be reloaded. And loadable modules protect us from
cross-framework spaghetti calls in the kernel as the interfaces are 
clearly defined.

Are there people really using SATA as rootfs right now on omaps?

If it's only something that will be more widely used in the future,
then I suggest we make it into a loadable module, and presume
initramfs and loadable module also for any new devices. The same
way x86 has been doing with distros for years.

Tony

Yet, it is not that buggy and at least until now, I di not get any
reports about badly working SATA from customers...

So, you just continue to ignore what I'm saying... even after I point
to a device...

Is it SATA that makes it so giant?
Because I find it worth having in SATA than spare some more k's...

Yes. That is exactly my point.

The difference from x86 is that we're in embedded here and
although initramfs is a kind of option, but it means, you need to
load even more data during the boot process... it is annoying and
I would not want to use it on embedded.
(BTW, x86_64_defconfig has it compiled in...)

We can also, split the defconfig as it was some time ago... but I
would not want to go that direction...

If we go the initramfs way, then why not also load MMC from it?
That will also reduce kernel size... (but add initramfs size)

I'm sure you will find making the MMC a loadable module inconvenient.
That how I find making the SATA a loadable module...

Right now, we tell our customers that they can use mainline with
omap2plus_defconfig.
If you decide to drop SATA, we will not be able to do that anymore.

Anyway, like Felipe said, it is your call.
I will not interfere anymore...

not that we know :-) The only platforms available today with SATA are
OMAP5432 uEVM and DRA7x EVM, the latter being mostly used by TIers as of
now (at least from mainline point of view).

alright, as a module it shall remain.

you pointed a device which *can* have rootfs on SATA, not one which
*has* rootfs on SATA, there's a very big difference there.

that's your point of view. As Tony mentioned, we have a very standard
way of dealing with this which is initramfs and x86 has been using that
for the past 15+ years.

read your email, you said it *CAN* have rootfs on SATA.

bullshit, you would never ship a product with omap2plus_defconfig. You'd
build your own at which point you would switch SATA to built-in.

make your own defconfig.

I'm fine with that. The difference is that people have been relying on
MMC built-in for the past 10+ years, since the old OMAP1 MMC driver,
changing that now is likely to cause some "my board won't boot anymore"
bug reports.

that's the worst thing you can do. You should at a minimum provide your
customers with a more minimal rootfs. Why would you have your customers
build MUSB on an OMAP5 board ? Why would they build 5 different
network device drivers ? Why would they build almost every single PMIC
we ever used ? The list goes on and on.

Yep, that is one of the options indeed, but I'm not asking you to

I'm feeling like you are trying to insult me.
Are you angry with me? Why?

That is their decision to make. I'm just saying that they can use it.

the keyword is mostly... And I'm also not sure this is true these days...

But, really, don't mind me. We will find our solutions (we always did).
I mean, Felipe wants it out so badly...

May be it will be good thing to split this patch. That way more information

And also, It will allow to continue with agreed changes.

From my side I'd like to note that I know about few ongoing projects on DRA7x EVM
where SATA is used as rootfs - now It is the fast possible way to start Android.

I do agree with Tony and Felipe that we should try to build as much
stuff as possible as a module instead of built-in to match what
distros do and what has been done for x86 for years.

However, if that's the case I wonder what's the point of having both
an omap2plus_defconfig and a multi_v7_defconfig? Would it make sense
to get rid of the SoC specific configs then and just use the single
ARMv7 defconfig for all SoCs with most of the options enabled as a
module?

FYI, some time ago I posted a patch to enable SBS-compliant batteries
support as a module for Exynos defconfig and was told to re-spin the
patch and enabling it as built-in instead since the most popular use
case for exynos_defconfig was development and people usually just copy
the kernel binary and not the modules [0].

So it seems that each ARM SoC community has a different opinion about
how things should be configured and do it differently.

>>

There are different opinions but let please try to keep the discussion
constructive and use a polite tone.

>>>

I'm confused, Felipe said that customers should not base their config
from omap2plus_defconfig but AFAUI Tony's argument is exactly the
opposite, that everything should be configured as a module so distros
can use omap2plus_defconfig as a base. So, is or is not expected that
people will use omap2plus_defconfig as a base for their own config?

I think the problem is that there isn't an agreement about what is the
purpose of the per SoC (e.g: oma2plus_defconfig) and the multi_v7
defconfigs (or at least is not well documented since I could not find
it). So, IMHO this concern should be raised to the ARM SoC maintainers
and there should be an agreement in the ARM community as a whole about
how things should be configured on each defconfig, and all SoCs should
follow the agreed rule.

Otherwise it seems that the motivation for each kconfig symbol enabled
is just to make the workflow of the developer posting the patches
easier and wins whoever shouts louder.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Javier

nope, not really. Just saying that if you're really concerned about
being embedded and that initramfs takes that much more time to load,
you'd just make your own defconfig and maintain it out-of-tree.

RMK does that for quite a few boards, I do it for my boards and also for
my x86 desktops/laptops.

It's not really rocket science.

It's clear (actually s/rootfs/defconfig below) that I meant defconfig.

right, and they can switch SATA to built-in if they want to ship an
initramfs-less product, don't you think ?

Or they can append initramfs to the kernel image and not even have a
root filesystem anywhere (been there, done that), but that's not
relevant to this discussion.

Anyway, I'll leave it to Tony.

I wonder the same thing, but look at multi_v7_defconfig today. Almost
everything is built-in, which makes the kernel image enormous (5.5MiB).

if people accept switching some of those as modules, sure. I don't mind
that at all. I'll still continue to maintain my out-of-tree defconfigs
for my boards anyway. It's also very good to have a generic defconfig
which will just work with everything I have.

lol, that's the reason why I don't use multi_v7_defconfig.

basing on omap2plus_defconfig is never an issue. Claiming that you're
concerned about the extra KiBs for loading initramfs and then saying you
ship embedded products with omap2plus_defconfig is BS.

> can use omap2plus_defconfig as a base. So, is or is not expected that

I never claimed that people should not use it as a *base*, rather it
should not be used to build a product's kernel/modules. Imagine you
shipping an embedded product based off of OMAP5 and you add CPSW, QSPI,
MUSB, a ton of touchscreen drivers you don't use, several PMIC drivers
built-in, etc. It's a waste of space and just bloats that product's
zImage.

OTOH, the OMAP defconfig is part of the OMAP port and Tony will have the
final saying about it, right ?

it is just to make things easier. In fact, I only enabled AM437x SK's
drivers on o2+_dc because I got tired of people telling me that board
"doesn't work with mainline" and being completely reluctant to change
their defconfig. At that point I talked to Tony and he said "as long as
things are added as modules, I don't mind".

That's not what you have said thus far. So far you only said it *can*
have, you have not explicitly said a customer really *is* using rootfs
on SATA.

Personally, I really don't care. It's just a defconfig patch and
kernel configuration is very, very easy to change at any time. You can
even have an out of tree config fragment just turning SATA=y again.

Have a look at scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh

can be done, but then again, it's just a defconfig change. Tony, your

now this is something different. This is evidence that there are people
relying on SATA on rootfs. I'll leave to Tony again.

OK sounds like people are really using SATA as rootfs, so we might as
well keep it built in then. And it does not affect the PM on the devices
that do have PM working, that has been a problem with having some
drivers built-in.

We can still work towards making the current rootfs device drivers
into loadable modules in the long term :)

Tony

I think we've had enough of the *can* or *cannot* stuff...
So, just accept that people are using SATA as rootfs and will be using

Yes indeed. We do this *all* the time.
To understand what is this about, first you need to make yourself
familiar with the case.

So, those exactly kind of bug reports I'm expecting to get, once you

I'm sorry, but you seemed to not care about the context, but just call
stuff a BS or worst thing to do... and that is w/o even understanding
the case.

no. It *very* depends on who your customer is and sometimes compiling
kernel with provided defaults is fine, but changing those is not.
You can say, "come on... if they build the kernel, they can also change
the configuration..."
That's what I thought several years ago, but it proved to be wrong...

Now, after all the out-of-tree defconfig proposals, why do you care
about the omap2plus_defconfig providing a smaller (by <200K according
to Grygorii) kernel?

Agreed, on its current form I wonder what's the use case for
multi_v7_defconfig. I guess most options will slowly be changed to be
built as a module though to be similar to what distros do.

Got it, thanks for the clarification. I agree that omap2plus_defconfig
is very bloated to be used for products as-is. I also have custom
defconfig to test the OMAP boards I maintain which is basically
omap2plus_defconfig + a merged config fragment (using merge_config.sh)
that disables and enables needed options.

Sorry, I didn't mean that Tony doesn't have the last word for omap
defconfig. My point was that it should be nice to get a consensus
about this and specially document it to make life easier for everyone.
People posting defconfig changes will know what the rule is and we can
avoid having these kind of discussions which I have had many times in
the past when posting defconfig changes and I'm sure I will have more
in the future again.

But I don't really mind tbh, I will keep maintaining my custom
defconfigs anyways and post wnen I think that enabling a config option
in a mainline defconfig makes sense and will do as a module or
built-in depending of what the SoC maintainer tells me to use.

Best regards,
Javier

that's the idea with omap2plus_defconfig, at least. Last I talked with
Tony, the idea was "let's have a defconfig which distros can just use
and almost everything is built as a module".

right, I used to that too. But right now I just have a set of
config-$board which I maintain locally. Slowly moving to
omap2plus_defconfig only as I move all my boards to NFS root.

definitely, we need at least some documentation. No questions there.

right.

yeah, that's the downside, really. One maintainer prefers small zImage
with several modules (which I very much like the idea) while another
prefers giant zImage with virtually no modules :-)

cheers
