It's added in config/arm/meson.build in the subsequent patch, which comes before drivers/meson.build, which is why I structured it this way - I don't think there's a reason to move the initialization around in the same series, but I could do that.

The reason I have two different types is that it struck me as more user friendly - specifying something in code is more intuitive as list as opposed to comma-delimited string, whereas it's more intuitive as comma-delimited string on cmdline. It's possible that having a comma-delimited string everywhere is actually better anyway - I'll change it. > > > > + > > > +# add cmdline disabled drivers (comma separated string) # and meson > > > +disabled drivers (list) # together into a comma separated string > > > +disabled_drivers = ','.join([get_option('disable_drivers'), > > > +','.join(disabled_drivers)]).strip(',') > > > > Do we need the string at the end here?

Ok, didn't realise that the trailing "," will still be present. However, I think a better fix for this, and the issue below with "." being printed in the empty case is to add the following to buildtools/list-dir-globs.py: @@ -14,6 +14,8 @@ os.getenv('MESON_SUBDIR', '.')) for path in sys.argv[1].split(','): + if not path: + continue for p in iglob(os.path.join(root, path)): if os.path.isdir(p): print(os.path.relpath(p)) With that added, we don't need to worry about null strings or and trailing commas and can just do: disabled_drivers += ',' + get_option('disable_drivers') > > > > +if disabled_drivers != '' > > > + disabled_drivers = run_command(list_dir_globs, > > > + disabled_drivers).stdout().split() > > > +else > > > + disabled_drivers = [] > > > +endif > > > > Don't think we need the "if/else" here.

I ran into problems with allowlists when ['.'] is returned - I'm assuming that the allowlist is either empty or whathever is in the allowlist means something and '.' is meaningless since it's not a driver. This was the most straightforward solution I found. For disabled drivers we don't need this, but I did the same thing for consistency. > I think the above two-line change to the globs script should fix this. > > > + > > > +# add cmdline enabled drivers (comma separated string) # and meson > > > +enabled drivers (list) # together into a comma separated string > > > +enabled_drivers = ','.join([get_option('enable_drivers'), > > > +','.join(enabled_drivers)]).strip(',') > > > +if enabled_drivers != '' > > > + enabled_drivers = run_command(list_dir_globs, > > > + enabled_drivers).stdout().split() > > > +else > > > + enabled_drivers = [] > > > +endif > > > + > > > +if disabled_drivers != [] and enabled_drivers != [] > > > + error('Simultaneous disabled drivers and enabled drivers ' + > > > + 'configuration is not supported.') endif > > > > For use in cross-files this makes sense, but I'm not sure it's the correct approach > > for when a cross-file specifies enable and the user specifies disable on the > > cmdline.

From the previous discussion, I thought we didn't want to mix enable/disable lists no matter what the build or source is. The different scenarios in my mind are combinations of: > 1. cross/regular build > 2. no list, just enable list, just disable list, both lists > 3. where a list is specified - cmdline or meson code (soc config or cross file) > > These give us quite a number of different scenarios. When do we want to allow the mixing of enable/disable lists and when not? It's not clear to me from your description, but it seems that specifying a list on the cmdline should overwrite or supplement either an enable or disable list specified in code - we would allow just one of these in code and then augment that with cmdline. > It's got quite a complicated number of scenarios, I admit. One thought, though not sure if it would work, is to always check enabled_drivers and disabled_drivers. If no enable_drivers option in cross-file or cmdline, we initialize the value to "list_dir_globs *.*", i.e. everything enabled. Similarly, if no disable_driver options provided, we use an empty list. Thereafter in the main loop we just check for each driver that it is in the enable list and not in the disabled one. Does that seem like it would work? /Bruce
