Subject: KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL + kernel_configcheck
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 14:17:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1434370643.9085.98.camel@intel.com> (raw)
Hello!
In Fido and master, the following patch changed the default value of
KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL:
$ git annotate origin/fido -- meta/classes/kernel-yocto.bbclass | grep KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL
ad4d5949 (Bruce Ashfield 2015-02-18 16:15:35 -0500 308) config_check_visibility = int(d.getVar( "KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL", True ) or 0)
$ git annotate origin/master -- meta/classes/kernel-yocto.bbclass | grep KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL
ad4d5949 (Bruce Ashfield 2015-02-18 16:15:35 -0500 309) config_check_visibility = int(d.getVar( "KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL", True ) or 0)
At least if I read it right, that wasn't the intention. The commit
explicitly says that the default should be 1:
The visibility of auditing is controlled by KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL:
0: no reporting
1: report options that are specified, but not in the final config
2: report options that are not hardware related, but set by a BSP
The default level is 1, with level 2 and above being for BSP development
only.
I found that while investigating why having an unsupported config option
in one of my kernel fragments did not result in a warning. However, even
with KCONF_AUDIT_LEVEL="2" in my local.conf, I still only get warnings
about the BSP, but not my unsupported option.
To reproduce, modify poky master as follows and build the default
configuration:

------------------------------------
foobar.cfg is used (the CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK part is used) but the
CONFIG_FOOBAR part of course is not. Shouldn't this trigger the
"specified values did not make it into the kernel's final
configuration"?
There is no mismatch.cfg, only a nonhw_report.cfg. This seems to point
towards an error in the configure task, if I understand the kernel
recipes correctly.
Speaking of nonhw_report.cfg, are there plans to make the core BSPs
clean enough to pass the check without warnings?
