From 7e61560628d17ea6b1d8ee370f6d42694cff8758 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulises Mendez Martinez Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 15:07:09 +0000 Subject: objtool: Validate disassembler headers in libopcodes probe commit 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries") tested for libopcodes availability by linking a test snippet with a forward declaration of disassemble_init_for_target(). However, testing symbol linkage with an extern declaration only verifies the presence of the library (.so/.a) and bypasses checking for development headers (binutils-dev). On systems where libopcodes is present without development headers installed, the probe succeeds, enabling BUILD_DISAS. Subsequent compilation of objtool then fails: fatal error: 'bfd.h' file not found 113 | #include Additionally, the probe invokes $(HOSTCC) without $(HOSTCFLAGS), ignoring any sysroot or include flags specified for the host compiler. Fix this by including and directly in the test snippet, passing $(HOSTCFLAGS) so host compiler options are respected, and defining PACKAGE="objtool" to satisfy the configuration check in .

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +===================== +Devicetree Changesets +===================== + +A Devicetree changeset is a method which allows one to apply changes +in the live tree in such a way that either the full set of changes +will be applied, or none of them will be. If an error occurs partway +through applying the changeset, then the tree will be rolled back to the +previous state. A changeset can also be removed after it has been +applied. + +When a changeset is applied, all of the changes get applied to the tree +at once before emitting OF_RECONFIG notifiers. This is so that the +receiver sees a complete and consistent state of the tree when it +receives the notifier. + +The sequence of a changeset is as follows. + +1. of_changeset_init() - initializes a changeset + +2. A number of DT tree change calls, of_changeset_attach_node(), + of_changeset_detach_node(), of_changeset_add_property(), + of_changeset_remove_property, of_changeset_update_property() to prepare + a set of changes. No changes to the active tree are made at this point. + All the change operations are recorded in the of_changeset 'entries' + list. + +3. of_changeset_apply() - Apply the changes to the tree. Either the + entire changeset will get applied, or if there is an error the tree will + be restored to the previous state. The core ensures proper serialization + through locking. An unlocked version __of_changeset_apply is available, + if needed. + +If a successfully applied changeset needs to be removed, it can be done +with of_changeset_revert(). -- cgit v1.3.1
