3 This is coreboot's copy of kconfig which tracks Linux as upstream but comes
4 with a few patches for portability but also a few semantic changes.
6 The patches that lead to this tree can be found in the patches/ subdirectory
7 in a [quilt](http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt) friendly format that
8 is also simple enough to manage manually with Unix tooling.
12 The first step is to unapply the patches. This can either be done with quilt
13 in an already-configured tree (`quilt pop -a` should cleanly unapply them all)
14 or manually if quilt doesn't have its tracking metadata around yet:
17 for i in $( ls patches/*.patch | tac ); do patch -p1 -R -i "$i"; done
20 The result should be a subtree that, apart from a few coreboot specific
21 files on our side (e.g. documentation, integration in our build system)
22 and a few files on the upstream end that we don't carry (e.g. the tests),
23 is identical to the scripts/kconfig/ directory of Linux as of the most recent
24 uprev we did. Check the uprev version by looking through
25 `git log util/kconfig` output in our tree.
27 Assuming that you want to uprev from Linux 5.13 to 5.14, with a Linux git tree
28 available in `~/linux`
31 cd util/kconfig && (cd ~/linux/ && git diff v5.13..v5.14 scripts/kconfig) | patch -p2`
34 applies the changes to your local tree.
36 Then reapply our patch train, which might be as simple as
37 `quilt push -a --refresh` but might also require some meddling with the
38 patches to make them apply again with the changes you just imported from
41 Check that kconfig still works, `git add` and `git commit` the changes and
42 write a meaningful commit message that documents what Linux kconfig version
43 the tree has been upreved to.
47 The format of the patches to kconfig is a mix of the headers produced by `git
48 format-patch` and the patch format of quilt. However neither git nor quilt
49 seems to have any functionality to directly produce a file in such a format
51 To add a patch in this format:
52 1. Add your changes to the sources and `git commit` them
53 2. Generate a git patch for the commit:
55 $ git format-patch HEAD~
57 3. Reverse apply the newly created patch file to restore the tree back to the
58 state quilt thinks it is in:
60 $ git apply -R <the patch file>
62 4. Import the patch info quilt:
64 $ quilt import <the patch file>
66 5. Force push the change to the top of quilt's patch stack (quilt won't like
67 the git diff style and would normally refuse to apply the patch):
69 $ quilt push -f <the patch file>
71 6. Add the changed files to be tracked against the quilt:
73 $ quilt add <the files you changed>
75 7. Re-apply your changes from the patch file:
77 $ git apply <the patch file>
79 8. Add the changes to quilt to regenerate the patch file in a quilt compatible
80 format while keeping the git header:
84 9. The new patch file and updated patches/series files can now be added to the
