Subject: DTB build failure due to preproccessing

This affects arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex440-ml510.dts but I think it is
actually a more general issue:

$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux- virtex440-ml510.dtb
CC scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s
GEN scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.h
HOSTCC scripts/mod/file2alias.o
HOSTLD scripts/mod/modpost
DTC arch/powerpc/boot/virtex440-ml510.dtb
Error: arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex440-ml510.dts:374.6-7 syntax error

make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/virtex440-ml510.dtb] Error 1
make: *** [virtex440-ml510.dtb] Error 2

Line 374 is the "IDSEL 0x16..." line here:
interrupt-map = <
/* IRQ mapping for pci slots and ALI M1533
...
* management core also isn't used.
*/

/* IDSEL 0x16 / dev=6, bus=0 / PCI slot 3 */

0x3000 0 0 3 &xps_intc_0 5 2
0x3000 0 0 4 &xps_intc_0 4 2

Which gets preprocessed into:
interrupt-map = <
# 375 "arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex440-ml510.dts"
0x3000 0 0 1 &xps_intc_0 3 2

0x3000 0 0 3 &xps_intc_0 5 2
0x3000 0 0 4 &xps_intc_0 4 2

If I manually remove the "# 375 " line then that fixes the error
(although there is then a subsequent one of the same type).

I suppose this is a bug in dtc? It appears to have at least some
awareness of these preprocessor line number comments since it manages to
report the original source line number.

dtc is only able to track line numbers when the native /include/
directive is used. The #include directive doesn't help it. It should be
added, but until it is the following patch solves the problem:

I've got this patch in my tree. Either Rob or I will push it to Linus in
the next few days.

dtc: Suppress cpp linemarker annotations

DTC isn't able to parse cpp linemarker annotations, so suppress them in
the cpp output by adding the -P flag to the cpp options.

Thanks, I'll do something similar in my device-tree.git tree.

The "#" is in the first column.

I've attached the actual file.

BTW I'm using dtc.git 4e76ec796c90d44d417f82d9db2d67cfe575f8ed and not
the kernel copy.

dtc-lexer.l in my HEAD is identical to the current master
(2e3fc7e9b3a4722a5500afaa9faf7874c61b2e6a) according to git diff.

It's supposed to do better than that, I think.
This, from dtc-lexer.l

<*>^"#"(line)?{WS}+[0-9]+{WS}+{STRING}({WS}+[0-9]+)? {
char *line, *tmp, *fn;
/* skip text before line # */
line = yytext;
while (!isdigit(*line))
line++;
/* skip digits in line # */
tmp = line;
while (!isspace(*tmp))
tmp++;
/* "NULL"-terminate line # */
*tmp = '\0';
/* start of filename */
fn = strchr(tmp + 1, '"') + 1;
/* strip trailing " from filename */
tmp = strchr(fn, '"');
*tmp = 0;
/* -1 since #line is the number of the next line */
srcpos_set_line(xstrdup(fn), atoi(line) - 1);
}

Hrm. Is this a "that's not in the kernel's copy yet" problem?
Or did this fail to match the offending '# <line> <file>' somehow?
(Like, is that '# 375' really in column 1?)

Thanks,

That's not true; it explicitly does have code to parse the line markers.
I'll have to investigate why it isn't working in this case.

If you apply this patch, then anyone who has switched to #include rther
than /include/ will get incorrect line numbers in dtc error messages.
Admittedly that's a smaller population right now though. Perhaps we
should just do a kernel-wide conversion though.

My mistake. I tested the wrong thing. I've dropped the patch.

I /think/ what's happening here is that dtc's rule for #line parsing
allows the formats:

# LINE FILENAME
or:
#LINE FILENAME FLAGS

where FLAGS is an integer

The lexer rule that optionally consumes flags requires some WS
(white-space) between the filename and flags. It looks like this
whitespace can actually cross a line boundary, so it ends up consuming
the first "0" of the hex constant on the next line, which then leaves
"x3000" to be parsed as cell data, which is a syntax error.

You can hack around this for testing by doing one of a few things:

a) Add an extra integer on to the end of the problematic #line directives.

b) Remove the leading "0x" from the constants following the #line
directives. I think this will still mean dtc eats the 3000 as part of
the #line directive, but hides the syntax error.

The solution here is to make dtc's #line matching regex:

<*>^"#"(line)?{WS}+[0-9]+{WS}+{STRING}({WS}+[0-9]+)? {

... use someting other than {WS} in the final instance; some kind of
{WS} that won't match/cross line boundaries. I'll see if I can cook up a
patch for this.

FWIW I've also dropped it from my device-tree.git tree.
