[PATCH] kbuild: don't put temp files in source

2006-12-10T17:55:39+00:00

The as-instr/ld-option need to create temporary files, but create them in the
output directory, when compiling external modules.  Reformat them a bit and
use $(CC) instead of $(AS) as the former is used by kbuild to assemble files.

[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinder

2006-09-26T08:52:41+00:00

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.

This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information.  Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.

For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem.  The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.

It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.

This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16
unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame

[AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description]

[PATCH] x86: Detect CFI support in the assembler at runtime

2006-09-26T08:52:30+00:00

... instead of using a CONFIG option. The config option still controls
if the resulting executable actually has unwind information.

This is useful to prevent compilation errors when users select
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND on old binutils and also allows to use
CFI in the future for non kernel debugging applications.

kbuild: make V=2 tell why a target is rebuild

2006-09-25T07:01:49+00:00

tell why a a target got build
   enabled by make V=2
      Output (listed in the order they are checked):
         (1) - due to target is PHONY
         (2) - due to target missing
         (3) - due to: file1.h file2.h
         (4) - due to command line change
         (5) - due to missing .cmd file
         (6) - due to target not in $(targets)
(1) We always build PHONY targets
(2) No target, so we better build it
(3) Prerequisite is newer than target
(4) The command line stored in the file named dir/.target.cmd
    differed from actual command line. This happens when compiler
    options changes
(5) No dir/.target.cmd file (used to store command line)
(6) No dir/.target.cmd file and target not listed in $(targets)
    This is a good hint that there is a bug in the kbuild file

This patch is inspired by a patch from: Milton Miller

kbuild: consistently decide when to rebuild a target

2006-09-25T07:00:00+00:00

Consistently decide when to rebuild a target across all of
if_changed, if_changed_dep, if_changed_rule.
PHONY targets are now treated alike (ignored) for all targets

While add it make Kbuild.include almost readable by factoring out a few
bits to some common variables and reuse this in Makefile.build.

kbuild: always use $(CC) for $(call cc-version)

The possibility to specify an optional parameter did not work out as
expected and it was not used - so remove the possibility.

[PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix

2006-07-31T20:28:43+00:00

The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

kbuild: fix ia64 breakage after introducing make -rR

2006-07-01T07:58:02+00:00

kbuild used $¤(*F to get filename of target without extension.
This was used in several places all over kbuild, but introducing
make -rR broke his for all cases where we specified full path to
target/prerequsite. It is assumed that make -rR disables old style
suffix-rules which is why is suddenly failed.

ia64 was impacted by this change because several div* routines in
arch/ia64/lib are build using explicit paths and then kbuild failed.

Thanks to David Mosberger-Tang  for an explanation
what was the root-cause and for testing on ia64.

This patch also fixes two uses of $(*F) in arch/um

Revert "kbuild: fix make -rR breakage"

2006-06-26T23:59:26+00:00

This reverts commit e5c44fd88c146755da6941d047de4d97651404a9.

Thanks to Daniel Ritz and Michal Piotrowski for noticing the problem.

Daniel says:

  "[The] reason is a recent change that made modules always shows as
   module.mod.  it breaks modprobe and probably many scripts..besides
   lsmod looking horrible

   stuff like this in modprobe.conf:
        install pcmcia_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcmcia_core; /sbin/modprobe pcmcia
   makes modprobe fork/exec endlessly calling itself...until oom
   interrupts it"

kbuild: fix make -rR breakage

2006-06-24T21:13:59+00:00

make failed to supply the filename when using make -rR and using $(*F)
to get target filename without extension.
This bug was not reproduceable in small scale but using:
$(basename $(notdir $@)) fixes it with same functionality.
