-What is this?
-=============
-
-This tool handles building U-Boot to check that you have not broken it
-with your patch series. It can build each individual commit and report
-which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It aims
-to make full use of multi-processor machines.
-
-A key feature of buildman is its output summary, which allows warnings,
-errors or image size increases in a particular commit or board to be
-quickly identified and the offending commit pinpointed. This can be a big
-help for anyone working with >10 patches at a time.
-
-
-Caveats
-=======
-
-Buildman is still in its infancy. It is already a very useful tool, but
-expect to find problems and send patches.
-
-Buildman can be stopped and restarted, in which case it will continue
-where it left off. This should happen cleanly and without side-effects.
-If not, it is a bug, for which a patch would be welcome.
-
-Buildman gets so tied up in its work that it can ignore the outside world.
-You may need to press Ctrl-C several times to quit it. Also it will print
-out various exceptions when stopped.
-
-
-Theory of Operation
-===================
-
-(please read this section in full twice or you will be perpetually confused)
-
-Buildman is a builder. It is not make, although it runs make. It does not
-produce any useful output on the terminal while building, except for
-progress information. All the output (errors, warnings and binaries if you
-are ask for them) is stored in output directories, which you can look at
-while the build is progressing, or when it is finished.
-
-Buildman produces a concise summary of which boards succeeded and failed.
-It shows which commit introduced which board failure using a simple
-red/green colour coding. Full error information can be requested, in which
-case it is de-duped and displayed against the commit that introduced the
-error. An example workflow is below.
-
-Buildman stores image size information and can report changes in image size
-from commit to commit. An example of this is below.
-
-Buildman starts multiple threads, and each thread builds for one board at
-a time. A thread starts at the first commit, configures the source for your
-board and builds it. Then it checks out the next commit and does an
-incremental build. Eventually the thread reaches the last commit and stops.
-If errors or warnings are found along the way, the thread will reconfigure
-after every commit, and your build will be very slow. This is because a
-file that produces just a warning would not normally be rebuilt in an
-incremental build.
-
-Buildman works in an entirely separate place from your U-Boot repository.
-It creates a separate working directory for each thread, and puts the
-output files in the working directory, organised by commit name and board
-name, in a two-level hierarchy.
-
-Buildman is invoked in your U-Boot directory, the one with the .git
-directory. It clones this repository into a copy for each thread, and the
-threads do not affect the state of your git repository. Any checkouts done
-by the thread affect only the working directory for that thread.
-
-Buildman automatically selects the correct toolchain for each board. You
-must supply suitable toolchains, but buildman takes care of selecting the
-right one.
-
-Buildman always builds a branch, and always builds the upstream commit as
-well, for comparison. It cannot build individual commits at present, unless
-(maybe) you point it at an empty branch. Put all your commits in a branch,
-set the branch's upstream to a valid value, and all will be well. Otherwise
-buildman will perform random actions. Use -n to check what the random
-actions might be.
-
-Buildman is optimised for building many commits at once, for many boards.
-On multi-core machines, Buildman is fast because it uses most of the
-available CPU power. When it gets to the end, or if you are building just
-a few commits or boards, it will be pretty slow. As a tip, if you don't
-plan to use your machine for anything else, you can use -T to increase the
-number of threads beyond the default.
-
-Buildman lets you build all boards, or a subset. Specify the subset by passing
-command-line arguments that list the desired board name, architecture name,
-SOC name, or anything else in the boards.cfg file. Multiple arguments are
-allowed. Each argument will be interpreted as a regular expression, so
-behaviour is a superset of exact or substring matching. Examples are:
-
-* 'tegra20' All boards with a Tegra20 SoC
-* 'tegra' All boards with any Tegra Soc (Tegra20, Tegra30, Tegra114...)
-* '^tegra[23]0$' All boards with either Tegra20 or Tegra30 SoC
-* 'powerpc' All PowerPC boards
-
-Buildman does not store intermediate object files. It optionally copies
-the binary output into a directory when a build is successful. Size
-information is always recorded. It needs a fair bit of disk space to work,
-typically 250MB per thread.
-
-
-Setting up
-==========
-
-1. Get the U-Boot source. You probably already have it, but if not these
-steps should get you started with a repo and some commits for testing.
-
-$ cd /path/to/u-boot
-$ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git .
-$ git checkout -b my-branch origin/master
-$ # Add some commits to the branch, reading for testing
-
-2. Create ~/.buildman to tell buildman where to find tool chains. As an
-example:
-
-# Buildman settings file
-
-[toolchain]
-root: /
-rest: /toolchains/*
-eldk: /opt/eldk-4.2
-
-[toolchain-alias]
-x86: i386
-blackfin: bfin
-sh: sh4
-nds32: nds32le
-openrisc: or32
-
-
-This selects the available toolchain paths. Add the base directory for
-each of your toolchains here. Buildman will search inside these directories
-and also in any '/usr' and '/usr/bin' subdirectories.
-
-Make sure the tags (here root: rest: and eldk:) are unique.
-
-The toolchain-alias section indicates that the i386 toolchain should be used
-to build x86 commits.
-
-
-2. Check the available toolchains
-
-Run this check to make sure that you have a toolchain for every architecture.

-You can see that everything is covered, even some strange ones that won't

-
-
-How to run it
-=============
-
-First do a dry run using the -n flag: (replace <branch> with a real, local
-branch with a valid upstream)
-
-$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b <branch> -n
-
-If it can't detect the upstream branch, try checking out the branch, and
-doing something like 'git branch --set-upstream <branch> upstream/master'
-or something similar.
-
-As an exmmple:
-
-Dry run, so not doing much. But I would do this:
-
-Building 18 commits for 1059 boards (4 threads, 1 job per thread)
-Build directory: ../lcd9b
- 5bb3505 Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-arm

- cac5a23 tegra: Enable display/lcd support on Seaboard
- 49ff541 wip
-
-Total boards to build for each commit: 1059
-
-This shows that it will build all 1059 boards, using 4 threads (because
-we have a 4-core CPU). Each thread will run with -j1, meaning that each
-make job will use a single CPU. The list of commits to be built helps you
-confirm that things look about right. Notice that buildman has chosen a
-'base' directory for you, immediately above your source tree.
-
-Buildman works entirely inside the base directory, here ../lcd9b,
-creating a working directory for each thread, and creating output
-directories for each commit and board.
-
-
-Suggested Workflow
-==================
-
-To run the build for real, take off the -n:
-
-$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b <branch>
-
-Buildman will set up some working directories, and get started. After a
-minute or so it will settle down to a steady pace, with a display like this:
-
-Building 18 commits for 1059 boards (4 threads, 1 job per thread)
- 528 36 124 /19062 1:13:30 : SIMPC8313_SP
-
-This means that it is building 19062 board/commit combinations. So far it
-has managed to succesfully build 528. Another 36 have built with warnings,
-and 124 more didn't build at all. Buildman expects to complete the process
-in an hour and 15 minutes. Use this time to buy a faster computer.
-
-
-To find out how the build went, ask for a summary with -s. You can do this
-either before the build completes (presumably in another terminal) or or
-afterwards. Let's work through an example of how this is used:
-
-$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b lcd9b -s
-...
-01: Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-arm
- powerpc: + galaxy5200_LOWBOOT
-02: tegra: Use const for pinmux_config_pingroup/table()
-03: tegra: Add display support to funcmux
-04: tegra: fdt: Add pwm binding and node
-05: tegra: fdt: Add LCD definitions for Tegra
-06: tegra: Add support for PWM
-07: tegra: Add SOC support for display/lcd
-08: tegra: Add LCD driver
-09: tegra: Add LCD support to Nvidia boards
-10: arm: Add control over cachability of memory regions
-11: lcd: Add CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT to select frame buffer alignment
-12: lcd: Add support for flushing LCD fb from dcache after update
- arm: + lubbock
-13: tegra: Align LCD frame buffer to section boundary
-14: tegra: Support control of cache settings for LCD
-15: tegra: fdt: Add LCD definitions for Seaboard
-16: lcd: Add CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES option to speed console
-17: tegra: Enable display/lcd support on Seaboard
-18: wip
-
-This shows which commits have succeeded and which have failed. In this case
-the build is still in progress so many boards are not built yet (use -u to
-see which ones). But still we can see a few failures. The galaxy5200_LOWBOOT
-never builds correctly. This could be a problem with our toolchain, or it
-could be a bug in the upstream. The good news is that we probably don't need
-to blame our commits. The bad news is it isn't tested on that board.
-
-Commit 12 broke lubbock. That's what the '+ lubbock' means. The failure
-is never fixed by a later commit, or you would see lubbock again, in green,
-without the +.
-
-To see the actual error:
-
-$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b <branch> -se lubbock
-...
-12: lcd: Add support for flushing LCD fb from dcache after update
- arm: + lubbock
-+common/libcommon.o: In function `lcd_sync':

-17: tegra: Enable display/lcd support on Seaboard
-18: wip
-
-So the problem is in lcd.c, due to missing cache operations. This information
-should be enough to work out what that commit is doing to break these
-boards. (In this case pxa did not have cache operations defined).
-
-If you see error lines marked with - that means that the errors were fixed
-by that commit. Sometimes commits can be in the wrong order, so that a
-breakage is introduced for a few commits and fixed by later commits. This
-shows up clearly with buildman. You can then reorder the commits and try
-again.
-
-At commit 16, the error moves - you can see that the old error at line 120
-is fixed, but there is a new one at line 126. This is probably only because
-we added some code and moved the broken line futher down the file.
-
-If many boards have the same error, then -e will display the error only
-once. This makes the output as concise as possible.
-
-The full build output in this case is available in:
-
-../lcd9b/12_of_18_gd92aff7_lcd--Add-support-for/lubbock/
-
- done: Indicates the build was done, and holds the return code from make.
- This is 0 for a good build, typically 2 for a failure.
-
- err: Output from stderr, if any. Errors and warnings appear here.
-
- log: Output from stdout. Normally there isn't any since buildman runs
- in silent mode for now.
-
- toolchain: Shows information about the toolchain used for the build.
-
- sizes: Shows image size information.
-
-It is possible to get the build output there also. Use the -k option for
-this. In that case you will also see some output files, like:
-
- System.map toolchain u-boot u-boot.bin u-boot.map autoconf.mk
- (also SPL versions u-boot-spl and u-boot-spl.bin if available)
-
-
-Checking Image Sizes
-====================
-
-A key requirement for U-Boot is that you keep code/data size to a minimum.
-Where a new feature increases this noticeably it should normally be put
-behind a CONFIG flag so that boards can leave it off and keep the image
-size more or less the same with each new release.
-
-To check the impact of your commits on image size, use -S. For example:
-
-$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b us-x86 -sS
-Summary of 10 commits for 1066 boards (4 threads, 1 job per thread)
-01: MAKEALL: add support for per architecture toolchains
-02: x86: Add function to get top of usable ram
- x86: (for 1/3 boards) text -272.0 rodata +41.0
-03: x86: Add basic cache operations
-04: x86: Permit bootstage and timer data to be used prior to relocation
- x86: (for 1/3 boards) data +16.0
-05: x86: Add an __end symbol to signal the end of the U-Boot binary
- x86: (for 1/3 boards) text +76.0
-06: x86: Rearrange the output input to remove BSS
- x86: (for 1/3 boards) bss -2140.0
-07: x86: Support relocation of FDT on start-up
- x86: + coreboot-x86
-08: x86: Add error checking to x86 relocation code
-09: x86: Adjust link device tree include file
-10: x86: Enable CONFIG_OF_CONTROL on coreboot
-
-
-You can see that image size only changed on x86, which is good because this
-series is not supposed to change any other board. From commit 7 onwards the
-build fails so we don't get code size numbers. The numbers are fractional
-because they are an average of all boards for that architecture. The
-intention is to allow you to quickly find image size problems introduced by
-your commits.
-
-Note that the 'text' region and 'rodata' are split out. You should add the
-two together to get the total read-only size (reported as the first column
-in the output from binutil's 'size' utility).
-
-A useful option is --step which lets you skip some commits. For example
---step 2 will show the image sizes for only every 2nd commit (so it will
-compare the image sizes of the 1st, 3rd, 5th... commits). You can also use
---step 0 which will compare only the first and last commits. This is useful
-for an overview of how your entire series affects code size.
-
-You can also use -d to see a detailed size breakdown for each board. This
-list is sorted in order from largest growth to largest reduction.
-
-It is possible to go a little further with the -B option (--bloat). This
-shows where U-Boot has bloted, breaking the size change down to the function
-level. Example output is below:
-
-$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b us-mem4 -sSdB
-...

-
-This shows that commit 19 has increased text size for arm (although only one
-board was built) and by 96 bytes for powerpc. This increase was offset in both
-cases by reductions in rodata and data/bss.
-
-Shown below the summary lines is the sizes for each board. Below each board
-is the sizes for each function. This information starts with:
-
- add - number of functions added / removed
- grow - number of functions which grew / shrunk
- bytes - number of bytes of code added to / removed from all functions,
- plus the total byte change in brackets
-
-The change seems to be that hash_command() has increased by more than the
-do_mem_crc() function has decreased. The function sizes typically add up to
-roughly the text area size, but note that every read-only section except
-rodata is included in 'text', so the function total does not exactly
-correspond.
-
-It is common when refactoring code for the rodata to decrease as the text size
-increases, and vice versa.
-
-
-Providing 'make' flags
-======================
-
-U-Boot's build system supports a few flags (such as BUILD_TAG) which affect
-the build product. These flags can be specified in the buildman settings
-file. They can also be useful when building U-Boot against other open source
-software.
-
-[make-flags]
-at91-boards=ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1
-snapper9260=${at91-boards} BUILD_TAG=442
-snapper9g45=${at91-boards} BUILD_TAG=443
-
-This will use 'make ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 BUILD_TAG=442' for snapper9260
-and 'make ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 BUILD_TAG=443' for snapper9g45. A special
-variable ${target} is available to access the target name (snapper9260 and
-snapper9g20 in this case). Variables are resolved recursively.
-
-It is expected that any variables added are dealt with in U-Boot's
-config.mk file and documented in the README.
-
-
-Other options
-=============
-
-Buildman has various other command line options. Try --help to see them.
-
-
-TODO
-====
-
-This has mostly be written in my spare time as a response to my difficulties
-in testing large series of patches. Apart from tidying up there is quite a
-bit of scope for improvement. Things like better error diffs, easier access
-to log files, error display while building. Also it would be nice it buildman
-could 'hunt' for problems, perhaps by building a few boards for each arch,
-or checking commits for changed files and building only boards which use
-those files.
-
-
-Credits
-=======
-
-Thanks to Grant Grundler <grundler@chromium.org> for his ideas for improving
-the build speed by building all commits for a board instead of the other
-way around.
