From ced27d6446664fe13f9b3a1ce8355f9b82d701f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Huang Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:40:50 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add Kbuild toolchain test functions support This implements 9 Kbuild preprocessor functions for toolchain capability detection, enabling parsing of modern Linux kernel Kconfig files (since version 4.18): - success/failure/if-success: Shell command result testing - cc-option/cc-option-bit: C compiler flag support detection - ld-option: Linker option support detection - as-instr/as-option: Assembler capability detection - rustc-option: Rust compiler option detection This resolves parsing errors when processing kernel Kconfig files that use toolchain detection macros like \$(as-instr,tpause %ecx) and nested function calls like \$(success,test -z "\$(shell,...)"). --- KBUILD.md | 198 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kconfiglib.py | 225 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/Kbuild_functions | 85 ++++++++++++++++ testsuite.py | 23 +++++ 4 files changed, 531 insertions(+) create mode 100644 KBUILD.md create mode 100644 tests/Kbuild_functions diff --git a/KBUILD.md b/KBUILD.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d614644 --- /dev/null +++ b/KBUILD.md @@ -0,0 +1,198 @@ +# Kbuild Toolchain Functions + +Kconfiglib implements Kbuild toolchain detection functions used by the Linux kernel since version 4.18. +These preprocessor functions enable runtime detection of compiler, assembler, and linker capabilities, +allowing kernel configurations to adapt to different toolchain versions. + +## Background + +The [Kconfig preprocessor](https://docs.kernel.org/kbuild/kconfig-macro-language.html) introduced +in Linux 4.18 provides functions for toolchain capability detection. These are defined in +`scripts/Kconfig.include` and enable conditional configuration based on available toolchain features. + +For comprehensive Kconfig syntax documentation, see the +[Kconfig Language](https://docs.kernel.org/kbuild/kconfig-language.html) specification. + +## Implemented Functions + +### Control Flow + +`$(if-success,command,then-val,else-val)` +: Executes command via shell; returns `then-val` on success (exit 0), `else-val` otherwise. + +`$(success,command)` +: Returns `y` if command succeeds, `n` otherwise. Equivalent to `$(if-success,command,y,n)`. + +`$(failure,command)` +: Returns `n` if command succeeds, `y` otherwise. Inverse of `success`. + +### Compiler Detection + +`$(cc-option,flag[,fallback])` +: Tests if C compiler supports a flag. Returns `y` or `n`. + +`$(cc-option-bit,flag)` +: Tests if C compiler supports a flag. Returns the flag itself or empty string. +Primarily used in variable assignments. + +### Assembler Detection + +`$(as-instr,instruction[,extra-flags])` +: Tests if assembler supports a specific instruction. Returns `y` or `n`. + +`$(as-option,flag[,fallback])` +: Tests if assembler (via CC) supports a flag.
