Hi Fengguang,

I've recently run into a number of cases in which I pulled a branch that
was building fine with "make vmlinux", but that failed for "make dtbs",
and I wonder if this is something that could be checked by the kbuild
test robot so we catch it earlier.

Yes, sure.

There are parts of this:

- running "make" without a target will build the default image file
 and also do the "dtbs" target on ARM and other architectures. I
 don't know if this is what you do, or if you always build

My typical build command sequences are

       make oldnoconfig
       make prepare
       make headers_install
       make ARCH=xxx
       make install

So it looks good already. :)

 "make vmlinux ; make modules", which doesn't include it.
 The dtbs makefile target is available on arc, arm, arm64, h8300,
 metag, mips, nios2, and xtensa but not the others, so if you
 call it explicitly, that has to be in an architecture specific
 way.

Got it.

- setting CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS will catch all files, not just the
 ones that are built by default for the set of configurations you
 have. It's possible to simply override this on the command line,
 using "make CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS=y", it doesn't actually have to
 be part of the configuration. The result is independent of the
 actual configuration, so it should be enough to do this once
 per architecture and source revision.

Is this something you can add?

Do you mean to simply change the main "make" command line to

       make ARCH=xxx CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS=y

Which looks safe even for ARCHs that do not support it.

The arch/.../Makefile that actually use it are:

       arch/arc/boot/dts/Makefile
       arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile
       arch/arm64/boot/dts/Makefile
       arch/h8300/boot/dts/Makefile
       arch/metag/boot/dts/Makefile
       arch/mips/boot/dts/Makefile
       arch/xtensa/boot/dts/Makefile

Regards,
Fengguang
