kbuild: Fix linking error built-in.o no such file or directory

2010-02-02T13:33:54+00:00

This patch fixes the link error "built-in.o: no such file or directory".
The problem happens if "dirx/Makefile" contains only "obj-m += diry/
dirz/" and the empty "dirx/built-in.o" is missing. Adding $(subdir-m)
into check for builtin-target fixes this error.

MIPS: Tracing: Add an endian argument to scripts/recordmcount.pl

2009-12-17T01:57:22+00:00

MIPS and some other architectures need this argument to handle
big/little endian respectively.

kbuild: Don't define ALIGN and ENTRY when preprocessing linker scripts.

2009-09-21T04:27:08+00:00

Adding a reference to  to x86's  causes
the x86 linker script to have syntax errors, because the ALIGN and
ENTRY keywords get redefined to the assembly implementations of those.
One could fix this by adjusting the include structure, but I think any
solution based on that approach would be fragile.

Currently, it is impossible when writing a header to do something
different for assembly files and linker scripts, even though there are
clearly cases where one wants them to define macros differently for
the two (ENTRY being an excellent example).
So I think the right solution here is to introduce a new preprocessor
definition, called LINKER_SCRIPT that is set along with __ASSEMBLY__
for linker scripts, and to use that to not define ALIGN and ENTRY in
linker scripts.
I suspect we'll find other uses for this mechanism in
the future.

arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0

2009-09-20T10:28:22+00:00

Albin Tonnerre  reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

kbuild: fail build if recordmcount.pl fails

2009-09-20T10:27:44+00:00

When this script fails the build should fail too. Otherwise there
are mysterious build failures later.

kbuild: echo the record_mcount command

2009-09-20T10:27:44+00:00

I had some problems with record_mcount in the Makefile and it was hard
to track down. Echo it by default to make it easier to diagnose.

kbuild: introduce subdir-ccflags-y

2009-04-19T09:12:12+00:00

Following patch introduce support for setting options
to gcc that has effect for current directory and all
subdirectories.

The typical use case are an architecture or a subsystem that
decide to cover all files with -Werror.
Today alpha, mips and sparc uses -Werror in almost all their
Makefile- with subdir-ccflag-y it is now simpler to do so
as only the top-level directories needs to be covered.

Likewise if we decide to cover a full subsystem such
as net/ with -Werror this is done by adding a single
line to net/Makefile.

ftrace, ia64: make recordmcount distinct module compile

In IA64, module build and kernel build use different option.
Make recordmcount.pl differentiate the two cases.
