kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-y

2020-08-09T16:32:59+00:00

To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs'
to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them
because there is no dependency.

There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of
another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when
Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile).

The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host
programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need
to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'.

This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand.

The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds
bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast,
programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y'
so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles.

userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

samples/vfs: avoid warning in statx override

2020-07-03T23:15:25+00:00

Something changed recently to uncover this warning:

  samples/vfs/test-statx.c:24:15: warning: `struct foo' declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
     24 | #define statx foo
        |               ^~~

Which is due the use of "struct statx" (here, "struct foo") in a function
prototype argument list before it has been defined:

 int
 # 56 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/statx-generic.h"
    foo
 # 56 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/statx-generic.h" 3 4
          (int __dirfd, const char *__restrict __path, int __flags,
            unsigned int __mask, struct
 # 57 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/statx-generic.h"
                                       foo
 # 57 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/statx-generic.h" 3 4
                                             *__restrict __buf)
   __attribute__ ((__nothrow__ , __leaf__)) __attribute__ ((__nonnull__ (2, 5)));

Add explicit struct before #include to avoid warning.

Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

2020-06-06T19:00:25+00:00

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - fix warnings in 'make clean' for ARCH=um, hexagon, h8300, unicore32

 - ensure to rebuild all objects when the compiler is upgraded

 - exclude system headers from dependency tracking and fixdep processing

 - fix potential bit-size mismatch between the kernel and BPF user-mode
   helper

 - add the new syntax 'userprogs' to build user-space programs for the
   target architecture (the same arch as the kernel)

 - compile user-space sample code under samples/ for the target arch
   instead of the host arch

 - make headers_install fail if a CONFIG option is leaked to user-space

 - sanitize the output format of scripts/checkstack.pl

 - handle ARM 'push' instruction in scripts/checkstack.pl

 - error out before modpost if a module name conflict is found

 - error out when multiple directories are passed to M= because this
   feature is broken for a long time

 - add CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED to support compressed debug info

 - a lot of cleanups of modpost

 - dump vmlinux symbols out into vmlinux.symvers, and reuse it in the
   second pass of modpost

 - do not run the second pass of modpost if nothing in modules is
   updated

 - install modules.builtin(.modinfo) by 'make install' as well as by
   'make modules_install' because it is useful even when
   CONFIG_MODULES=n

 - add new command line variables, GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP, LZMA, LZ4, and XZ
   to allow users to use alternatives such as pigz, pbzip2, etc.

samples: vfs: build sample programs for target architecture

2020-05-17T09:52:02+00:00

These userspace programs include UAPI headers exported to usr/include/.
'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same
architecture as the kernel), so the sample programs should be built for
the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that.

I also guarded the CONFIG option by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because
$(CC) may not provide libc.

uapi: deprecate STATX_ALL

2020-05-14T14:44:24+00:00

Constants of the *_ALL type can be actively harmful due to the fact that
developers will usually fail to consider the possible effects of future
changes to the definition.

Deprecate STATX_ALL in the uapi, while no damage has been done yet.

We could keep something like this around in the kernel, but there's
actually no point, since all filesystems should be explicitly checking
flags that they support and not rely on the VFS masking unknown ones out: a
flag could be known to the VFS, yet not known to the filesystem.

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

2020-02-03T16:53:07+00:00

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.

samples: guard sub-directories with CONFIG options

Do not descend to sub-directories when unneeded.

I used subdir-$(CONFIG_...) for hidraw, seccomp, and vfs because
they only contain host programs.

While we are here, let's add SPDX License tag, and sort the directories
