From 5febf432df1cfa5b25d99b54c32103fafbdd0eb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miguel Ojeda Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 15:32:33 +0200 Subject: kbuild: rust: keep Rust objects out of Clang LTO with inline helpers Under `CONFIG_LTO_CLANG` + `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS`, one may hit `objtool` errors such as: vmlinux.o: error: objtool: _R..._3Gsp4boot+0xd6a: can't find jump dest instruction at .text._R..._3Gsp4boot+0x1dfd The reason is that in such builds, the Clang invocation that compiles the combined Rust plus helpers bitcode emits LLVM bitcode (again) -- the final code generation happens in the linker's LTO step, which the `-mllvm` trap options passed to Clang do not reach. This, in turn, means that unreachable traps are missing, and the impossible paths do not merely fallthrough to the next symbol, but past the end of their own section, since LTO builds place each function in its own section. Thus filter `CC_FLAGS_LTO` out of the Clang invocation, so that it always emits machine code directly, with the traps in place.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +The Virtual Media Controller Driver (vimc) +========================================== + +The vimc driver emulates complex video hardware using the V4L2 API and the Media +API. It has a capture device and three subdevices: sensor, debayer and scaler. + +Topology +-------- + +The topology is hardcoded, although you could modify it in vimc-core and +recompile the driver to achieve your own topology. This is the default topology: + +.. _vimc_topology_graph: + +.. kernel-figure:: vimc.dot + :alt: Diagram of the default media pipeline topology + :align: center + + Media pipeline graph on vimc + +Configuring the topology +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Each subdevice will come with its default configuration (pixelformat, height, +width, ...). One needs to configure the topology in order to match the +configuration on each linked subdevice to stream frames through the pipeline. +If the configuration doesn't match, the stream will fail. The ``v4l-utils`` +package is a bundle of user-space applications, that comes with ``media-ctl`` and +``v4l2-ctl`` that can be used to configure the vimc configuration. This sequence +of commands fits for the default topology: + +.. code-block:: bash + + media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' + media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' + media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":0[fmt:RGB888_1X24/640x480]' + media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":0[crop:(100,50)/400x150]' + media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":1[fmt:RGB888_1X24/300x700]' + v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" -v width=300,height=700 + v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 0" -v pixelformat=BA81 + +Subdevices +---------- + +Subdevices define the behavior of an entity in the topology.
