      kbuild: rename built-in.o to built-in.a · f49821ee
      Nicholas Piggin authored
      
      Incremental linking is gone, so rename built-in.o to built-in.a, which
      is the usual extension for archive files.
      
      This patch does two things, first is a simple search/replace:
      
      git grep -l 'built-in\.o' | xargs sed -i 's/built-in\.o/built-in\.a/g'
      
      The second is to invert nesting of nested text manipulations to avoid
      filtering built-in.a out from libs-y2:
      
      -libs-y2 := $(filter-out %.a, $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(libs-y)))
      +libs-y2 := $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(filter-out %.a, $(libs-y)))

      kbuild: Handle builtin dtb file names containing hyphens · 55fe6da9
      James Hogan authored
      
      cmd_dt_S_dtb constructs the assembly source to incorporate a devicetree
      FDT (that is, the .dtb file) as binary data in the kernel image. This
      assembly source contains labels before and after the binary data. The
      label names incorporate the file name of the corresponding .dtb file.
      Hyphens are not legal characters in labels, so .dtb files built into the
      kernel with hyphens in the file name result in errors like the
      following:
      
      bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages:
      bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section
      bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'
      bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_begin:'
      bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:8: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_end:'
      bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: : no such section
      bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'
      
      Fix this by updating cmd_dt_S_dtb to transform all hyphens from the file
      name to underscores when constructing the labels.
      
      As of v4.16-rc2, 1139 .dts files across ARM64, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC
      contain hyphens in their names, but the issue only currently manifests
      on Broadcom MIPS platforms, as that is the only place where such files
      are built into the kernel. For example when CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y,
      or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is used (in the latter case it
      admittedly shouldn't really build all the dtb.o files, but thats a
      separate issue).
      
      Fixes: 69583551 ("MIPS: BMIPS: rename bcm96358nb4ser to bcm6358-neufbox4-sercom")

      kbuild: fix W= option checks for extra DTC warnings · f759625a
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      Kbuild supports 3 levels of extra warnings, and multiple levels can
      be combined, like W=12, W=123.  It was added by commit a6de553d
      ("kbuild: Allow to combine multiple W= levels").
      
      From the log of commit 8654cb8d ("dtc: update warning settings
      for new bus and node/property name checks"), I assume:
      
       - unit_address_vs_reg, simple_bus_reg, etc. belong to level 1
       - node_name_chars_strict, property_name_chars_strict belong to level 2
      
      However, the level 1 warnings are displayed by any argument to W=.
      On the other hand, the level 2 warnings are displayed by W=2, but
      not by W=12, or W=123.
      
      Use $(findstring ...) like scripts/Makefile.extrawarn.

      kbuild: prepare to remove C files pre-generated by flex and bison · 033dba2e
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      In Linux build system convention, pre-generated files are version-
      controlled with a "_shipped" suffix.  During the kernel building,
      they are simply shipped (copied) removing the suffix.
      
      This approach can reduce external tool dependency for the kernel build,
      but it is tedious to manually regenerate such artifacts from developers'
      point of view.  (We need to do "make REGENERATE_PARSERS=1" every time
      we touch real source files such as *.l, *.y)
      
      Some months ago, I sent out RFC patches to run flex, bison, and gperf
      during the build.
      
      In the review and test, Linus noticed gperf-3.1 had changed the lookup
      function prototype.  Then, the use of gperf in kernel was entirely
      removed by commit bb3290d9 ("Remove gperf usage from toolchain").
      
      This time, I tested several versions of flex and bison, and I was not
      hit by any compatibility issue except a flaw in flex-2.6.3; if you
      generate lexer for dtc and genksyms with flex-2.6.3, you will see
      "yywrap redefined" warning.  This was not intentional, but a bug,
      fixed by flex-2.6.4.  Otherwise, both flex and bison look fairly
      stable for a long time.
      
      This commit prepares some build rules to remove the _shipped files.
      Also, document minimal requirement for flex and bison.
      
      Rationale for the minimal version:
      The -Wmissing-prototypes option of GCC warns "no previous prototype"
      for lexers generated by flex-2.5.34 or older, so I chose 2.5.35 as the
      required version for flex.  Flex-2.5.35 was released in 2008.  Bison
      looks more stable.  I did not see any problem with bison-2.0, released
      in 2004.  I did not test bison-1.x, but bison-2.0 should be old enough.
      
      Tested flex versions:
        2.5.35
        2.5.36
        2.5.37
        2.5.39
        2.6.0
        2.6.1
        2.6.2
        2.6.3   (*)
        2.6.4
      
       (*) flex-2.6.3 causes "yywrap redefined" warning
      
      Tested bison versions:
        2.0
        2.1
        2.2
        2.3

      kbuild: create object directories simpler and faster · 8a78756e
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      For the out-of-tree build, scripts/Makefile.build creates output
      directories, but this operation is not efficient.
      
      scripts/Makefile.lib calculates obj-dirs as follows:
      
        obj-dirs := $(dir $(multi-objs) $(obj-y))
      
      Please notice $(sort ...) is not used here.  Usually the result is
      as many "./" as objects here.
      
      For a lot of duplicated paths, the following command is invoked.
      
        _dummy := $(foreach d,$(obj-dirs), $(shell [ -d $(d) ] || mkdir -p $(d)))
      
      Then, the costly shell command is run over and over again.
      
      I see many points for optimization:
      
      [1] Use $(sort ...) to cut down duplicated paths before passing them
          to system call
      [2] Use single $(shell ...) instead of repeating it with $(foreach ...)
          This will reduce forking.
      [3] We can calculate obj-dirs more simply.  Most of objects are already
          accumulated in $(targets).  So, $(dir $(targets)) is fine and more
          comprehensive.
      
      I also removed ugly code in arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile.  This is now
      really unnecessary.

      kbuild: handle dtb-y and CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS natively in Makefile.lib · 7e7962dd
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      If CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS is enabled, "make ARCH=arm64 dtbs" compiles each
      DTB twice; one from arch/arm64/boot/dts/*/Makefile and the other from
      the dtb-$(CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS) line in arch/arm64/boot/dts/Makefile.
      It could be a race problem when building DTBS in parallel.
      
      Another minor issue is CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS covers only *.dts in vendor
      sub-directories, so this broke when Broadcom added one more hierarchy
      in arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/<soc>/.
      
      One idea to fix the issues in a clean way is to move DTB handling
      to Kbuild core scripts.  Makefile.dtbinst already recognizes dtb-y
      natively, so it should not hurt to do so.
      
      Add $(dtb-y) to extra-y, and $(dtb-) as well if CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS is
      enabled.  All clutter things in Makefiles go away.
      
      As a bonus clean-up, I also removed dts-dirs.  Just use subdir-y
      directly to traverse sub-directories.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      devicetree: Move include prefixes from arch to separate directory · d5d332d3
      Olof Johansson authored
      
      We use a directory under arch/$ARCH/boot/dts as an include path
      that has links outside of the subtree to find dt-bindings from under
      include/dt-bindings. That's been working well, but new DT architectures
      haven't been adding them by default.
      
      Recently there's been a desire to share some of the DT material between
      arm and arm64, which originally caused developers to create symlinks or
      relative includes between the subtrees. This isn't ideal -- it breaks
      if the DT files aren't stored in the exact same hierarchy as the kernel
      tree, and generally it's just icky.
      
      As a somewhat cleaner solution we decided to add a $ARCH/ prefix link
      once, and allow DTS files to reference dtsi (and dts) files in other
      architectures that way.
      
      Original approach was to create these links under each architecture,
      but it lead to the problem of recursive symlinks.
      
      As a remedy, move the include link directories out of the architecture
      trees into a common location. At the same time, they can now share one
      directory and one dt-bindings/ link as well.
      
      Fixes: 4027494a ('ARM: dts: add arm/arm64 include symlinks')

      Kbuild: don't add obj tree in additional includes · db547ef1
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      
      When building with separate object directories and driver specific
      Makefiles that add additional header include paths, Kbuild adjusts
      the gcc flags so that we include both the directory in the source
      tree and in the object tree.
      
      However, due to another bug I fixed earlier, this did not actually
      include the correct directory in the object tree, so we know that
      we only really need the source tree here. Also, including the
      object tree sometimes causes warnings about nonexisting directories
      when the include path only exists in the source.
      
      This changes the logic to only emit the -I argument for the srctree,
      not for objects. We still need both $(srctree)/$(src) and $(obj)
      though, so I'm adding them manually.

      kernel: add kcov code coverage · 5c9a8750
      Dmitry Vyukov authored
      kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
      (randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
      that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
      system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
      (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
      widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
      support.
      
      kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
      collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
      To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
      interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
      non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).
      
      Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
      API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
      implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
      table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
      dropped the second mode for simplicity.
      
      This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
      compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
      
      We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
      found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
      
        https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
      
      
      
      We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
      Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
      help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
      random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
      
      Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
      coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
      typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
      input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
      reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
      blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
      kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
      that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
      background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
      With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
      
      kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
      insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
      
      Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

      kasan: add kernel address sanitizer infrastructure · 0b24becc
      Andrey Ryabinin authored
      Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector.  It
      provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
      out-of-bounds bugs.
      
      KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
      therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required.  v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
      putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
      instrumentation of globals.
      
      This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer.  It's
      not available for use yet.  The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].
      
      Basic idea:
      
      The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
      of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
      check the shadow memory on each memory access.
      
      Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
      memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
      memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
      
      Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:
      
           unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
           {
                      return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
           }
      
      where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.
      
      So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
      The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
      of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
      means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
      are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
      inaccessible.  Different negative values used to distinguish between
      different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
      mm/kasan/kasan.h).
      
      To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
      Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
      __asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.
      
      These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
      checking corresponding shadow memory.  If access is not valid an error
      printed.
      
      Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:
      
      	"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
      	ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
      	them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
      	running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
      	scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
      	open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
      	lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
      	The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.
      
      	We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
      	(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
      	start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
      	Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
      	We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
      	people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.
      
      	[...]
      
      	As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
      	performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
      	shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
      	programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
      	kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
      	running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
      	have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
      	finish all tuning).
      
      	I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
      	working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
      	memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
      	others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
      	can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
      	if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.
      
      	Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
      	instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
      	parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
      	relatively easy to port."
      
      Comparison with other debugging features:
      ========================================
      
      KMEMCHECK:
      
        - KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can.  KASan uses
          compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
          kmemcheck.  The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
          uninitialized memory reads.
      
          Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
          x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:
      
      $ netperf -l 30
      		MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
      		Recv   Send    Send
      		Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
      		Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
      		bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec
      
      no debug:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    41624.72
      
      kasan inline:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    12870.54
      
      kasan outline:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    10586.39
      
      kmemcheck: 	87380  16384  16384    30.03      20.23
      
        - Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs.  It always sets
          number of CPUs to 1.  KASan doesn't have such limitation.
      
      DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
      	- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
      	  granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.
      
      SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
      	- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.
      
      	- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
      	  KASan able to detect both reads and writes.
      
      	- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
      	  bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
      	  bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
      	  place of first bad read/write.

      kbuild: handle multi-objs dependency appropriately · c8589d1e
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      The comment in scripts/Makefile.build says as follows:
      
        We would rather have a list of rules like
              foo.o: $(foo-objs)
        but that's not so easy, so we rather make all composite objects depend
        on the set of all their parts
      
      This commit makes it possible!
      
      For example, assume a Makefile like this
      
        obj-m = foo.o bar.o
        foo-objs := foo1.o foo2.o
        bar-objs := bar1.o bar2.o
      
      Without this patch, foo.o depends on all of
      foo1.o foo2.o bar1.o bar2.o.
      It looks funny that foo.o is regenerated when bar1.c is updated.
      
      Now we can handle the dependency of foo.o and bar.o separately.

      kbuild: dtbs_install: new make target · f4d4ffc0
      Jason Cooper authored
      
      Unlike other build products in the Linux kernel, there is no 'make
      *install' mechanism to put devicetree blobs in a standard place.
      
      This commit adds a new 'dtbs_install' make target which copies all of
      the dtbs into the INSTALL_DTBS_PATH directory. INSTALL_DTBS_PATH can be
      set before calling make to change the default install directory. If not
      set then it defaults to:
      
      	$INSTALL_PATH/dtbs/$KERNELRELEASE.
      
      This is done to keep dtbs from different kernel versions separate until
      things have settled down.  Once the dtbs are stable, and not so strongly
      linked to the kernel version, the devicetree files will most likely move
      to their own repo.  Users will need to upgrade install scripts at that
      time.
      
      v7: (reworked by Grant Likely)
      - Moved rules from arch/arm/Makefile to arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile so
        that each dtb install could have a separate target and be reported as
        part of the make output.
      - Fixed dependency problem to ensure $KERNELRELEASE is calculated before
        attempting to install
      - Removed option to call external script. Copying the files should be
        sufficient and a build system can post-process the install directory.
        Despite the fact an external script is used for installing the kernel,
        I don't think that is a pattern that should be encouraged. I would
        rather see buildroot type tools post process the install directory to
        rename or move dtb files after installing to a staging directory.
        - Plus it is easy to add a hook after the fact without blocking the
          rest of this feature.
      - Move the helper targets into scripts/Makefile.lib with the rest of the
        common dtb rules
