kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

2020-02-03T16:53:07Z

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004. It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration. This commit renames like follows: always -> always-y hostprogs-y -> hostprogs So, scripts/Makefile will look like this: always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ... always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ... ... hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m) I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier. The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward compatibility for a while.

kbuild: pass KBUILD_MODFILE when compiling builtin objects

2020-01-06T17:18:39Z

When compiling, Kbuild passes KBUILD_BASENAME (basename of the object) and KBUILD_MODNAME (basename of the module). This commit adds another one, KBUILD_MODFILE, which is the path of the module. (or, the path of the module it would end up in if it were compiled as a module.) The next commit will use this to generate modules.builtin without tristate.conf. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: add stringify helper to quote a string passed to C files

Make $(squote)$(quote)...$(quote)$(squote) a helper macro. I will reuse it in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: do not create orphan built-in.a or obj-y objects

2020-01-06T17:18:38Z

Both 'obj-y += foo/' and 'obj-m += foo/' request Kbuild to visit the sub-directory foo/, but the difference is that only the former combines foo/built-in.a into the built-in.a of the current directory because everything in sub-directories visited by obj-m is supposed to be modular. So, it makes sense to create built-in.a only if that sub-directory is reachable by the chain of obj-y. Otherwise, built-in.a will not be linked into vmlinux anyway. For the same reason, it is pointless to compile obj-y objects in the directory visited by obj-m. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: remove header compile test

2019-11-14T15:22:35Z

There are both positive and negative options about this feature. At first, I thought it was a good idea, but actually Linus stated a negative opinion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/29/227). I admit it is ugly and annoying. The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers. (Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness of the exported headers.) I will maintain a small build rule in usr/include/Makefile. Remove the other header test functionality. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: remove ar-option and KBUILD_ARFLAGS

2019-10-01T00:20:33Z

Commit 40df759e2b9e ("kbuild: Fix build with binutils <= 2.19") introduced ar-option and KBUILD_ARFLAGS to deal with old binutils. According to Documentation/process/changes.rst, the current minimal supported version of binutils is 2.21 so you can assume the 'D' option is always supported. Not only GNU ar but also llvm-ar supports it. With the 'D' option hard-coded, there is no more user of ar-option or KBUILD_ARFLAGS.

kbuild: rename KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS to KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN

2019-09-06T14:46:52Z

KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS started as a switch to add extra warning options for GCC, but now it is a historical misnomer since we use it also for Clang, DTC, and even kernel-doc. Rename it to more sensible, shorter KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN. For the backward compatibility, KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS is still supported (but not advertised in the documentation). I also fixed up 'make help', and updated the documentation. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Reviewed-by: Sedat Dilek

kbuild: change *FLAGS_.o to take the path relative to $(obj)

2019-09-04T14:12:50Z

Kbuild provides per-file compiler flag addition/removal: CFLAGS_.o CFLAGS_REMOVE_.o AFLAGS_.o AFLAGS_REMOVE_.o CPPFLAGS_.lds HOSTCFLAGS_.o HOSTCXXFLAGS_.o The is the filename of the target with its directory and suffix stripped. This syntax comes into a trouble when two files with the same basename appear in one Makefile, for example: obj-y += foo.o obj-y += dir/foo.o CFLAGS_foo.o := Here, the applies to both foo.o and dir/foo.o The real world problem is: scripts/kconfig/util.c scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/util.c Both files are compiled into scripts/kconfig/mconf, but only the latter should be given with the ncurses flags. It is more sensible to use the relative path to the Makefile, like this: obj-y += foo.o CFLAGS_foo.o := obj-y += dir/foo.o CFLAGS_dir/foo.o := At first, I attempted to replace $(basetarget) with $*. The $* variable is replaced with the stem ('%') part in a pattern rule. This works with most of cases, but does not for explicit rules. For example, arch/ia64/lib/Makefile reuses rule_as_o_S in its own explicit rules, so $* will be empty, resulting in ignoring the per-file AFLAGS. I introduced a new variable, target-stem, which can be used also from explicit rules. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Marc Zyngier

kbuild: add $(BASH) to run scripts with bash-extension

2019-09-04T13:54:13Z

CONFIG_SHELL falls back to sh when bash is not installed on the system, but nobody is testing such a case since bash is usually installed. So, shell scripts invoked by CONFIG_SHELL are only tested with bash. It makes it difficult to test whether the hashbang #!/bin/sh is real. For example, #!/bin/sh in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check.sh is false. (I fixed it up) Besides, some shell scripts invoked by CONFIG_SHELL use bash-extension and #!/bin/bash is specified as the hashbang, while CONFIG_SHELL may not always be set to bash. Probably, the right thing to do is to introduce BASH, which is bash by default, and always set CONFIG_SHELL to sh. Replace $(CONFIG_SHELL) with $(BASH) for bash scripts. If somebody tries to add bash-extension to a #!/bin/sh script, it will be caught in testing because /bin/sh is a symlink to dash on some major distributions. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: move modkern_{c,a}flags to Makefile.lib from Makefile.build

2019-08-21T16:14:11Z

Makefile.lib is included by Makefile.modfinal as well as Makefile.build. Move modkern_cflags to Makefile.lib in order to simplify cmd_cc_o_c in Makefile.modfinal. Move modkern_cflags as well for consistency. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
