kbuild: rpm: prompt to use "rpm-pkg" if "rpm" target is used

2017-11-23T14:12:05+00:00

The "rpm" has been kept for backward compatibility since pre-git era.
I am planning to remove it after the Linux 4.18 release.  Annouce the
end of the support, prompting to use "rpm-pkg" instead.

If you use "rpm", it will work like "rpm-pkg", but warning messages
will be displayed as follows:

  WARNING: "rpm" target will be removed after Linux 4.18
           Please use "rpm-pkg" instead.

kbuild: Set KBUILD_CFLAGS before incl. arch Makefile

2017-11-23T04:12:37+00:00

Set the clang KBUILD_CFLAGS up before including arch/ Makefiles,
so that ld-options (etc.) can work correctly.

This fixes errors with clang such as ld-options trying to CC
against your host architecture, but LD trying to link against
your target architecture.

kbuild: create built-in.o automatically if parent directory wants it

2017-11-18T02:38:58+00:00

"obj-y += foo/" syntax requires Kbuild to visit the "foo" subdirectory
and link built-in.o from that directory.  This means foo/Makefile is
responsible for creating built-in.o even if there is no object to
link (in this case, built-in.o is an empty archive).

We have had several fixups like commit 4b024242e8a4 ("kbuild: Fix
linking error built-in.o no such file or directory"), then ended up
with a complex condition as follows:

  ifneq ($(strip $(obj-y) $(obj-m) $(obj-) $(subdir-m) $(lib-target)),)
  builtin-target := $(obj)/built-in.o
  endif

We still have more cases not covered by the above, so we need to add
  obj- := dummy.o
in several places just for creating empty built-in.o.

A key point is, the parent Makefile knows whether built-in.o is needed
or not.  If a subdirectory needs to create built-in.o, its parent can
tell the fact when descending.

If non-empty $(need-builtin) flag is passed from the parent, built-in.o
should be created.  $(obj-y) should be still checked to support the
single target "%/".  All of ugly tricks will go away.

kbuild: /bin/pwd -> pwd

2017-11-18T02:32:27+00:00

Most places use pwd and rely on $PATH lookup. Moving the remaining
absolute path /bin/pwd users over for consistency.

Also, a reason for doing /bin/pwd -> pwd instead of the other way around
is because I believe build systems should make little assumptions on
host filesystem layout. Case in point, we do this kind of patching
already in NixOS.

Ref. commit 028568d84da3cfca49f5f846eeeef01441d70451
("kbuild: revert $(realpath ...) to $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd)").

Merge tag 'kbuild-v4.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

2017-11-18T01:45:29+00:00

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is
  now able to cache the result of shell commands. Some variables are
  expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the
  compiler. It is not efficient to redo this computation every time,
  even when we are not actually building anything. Kbuild creates a
  hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and their
  results. The speed-up should be noticeable.

  Summary:

   - Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh)

   - Clean up various Makefiles and scripts

   - Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles

   - Cache variables that are expensive to compute

   - Improve cc-ldopton and ld-option for Clang

   - Optimize output directory creation"
