From b148043e0e2b10fc300c806b596d70397071b286 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Hicks Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2020 11:56:12 -0500 Subject: kernel-devicetree: Fix intermittent build failures caused by DTB builds Fix a build-time race condition that resulted in intermittent build failures in the do_assemble_fitimage task. The race condition involved the do_assemble_fitimage task reading the vmlinux file while the do_compile_kernelmodules task was re-writing the vmlinux file. This can be seen with an aarch64 image build that uses a 5.4 based kernel and sets KERNEL_DEVICETREE. The problem is that the do_compile snippet that the kernel-devicetree class appends did not specify the full kernel build environment when building the DTB(s) from the kernel tree. This resulted in CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y being removed from the kernel config file just before the do_compile task completed. The CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y line was then re-inserted into the kernel config file as part of the do_compile_kernelmodules task. In some cases, this resulted in the do_compile_kernelmodules task to re-link vmlinux which sometimes occured at the same time that the do_assemble_fitimage task was attempting to use vmlinux. The do_assemble_fitimage task would fail with the following error message: aarch64-poky-linux-objcopy:vmlinux: file format not recognized We can use the pine-a64-lts machine, from the meta-pine64 layer, to show that the kernel config file was changed between do_compile and do_compile_kernelmodules: $ C=tmp/work/pine_a64_lts-poky-linux/linux-pine64/5.7+gitAUTOINC+ae03bade3b-r0/linux-pine_a64_lts-standard-build/.config $ bitbake -c do_kernel_configcheck virtual/kernel ... $ md5sum $C; grep CC_CAN_LINK $C 32b133cf8a749a91f698a7ca8616c84f ...

CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y With this change, the do_compile snippet appended by the kernel-devicetree class does not modify the kernel config. The kernel config is unchanged across the do_compile and do_compile_kernelmodules tasks and do_compile_kernelmodules will not attempt to re-link vmlinux.
