ftrace/kbuild: Add recordmcount files to force full build

2011-05-19T11:58:28+00:00

Modifications to recordmcount must be performed on all object
files to stay consistent with what the kernel code may expect.
Add the recordmcount files to the main dependencies to make sure
any change to them causes a full recompile.

kbuild/recordmcount: Add RECORDMCOUNT_WARN to warn about mcount callers

2011-05-16T18:45:03+00:00

When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into
a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now
if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then
the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just
waste execution time.

kbuild: Allow to combine multiple W= levels

2011-05-02T15:37:10+00:00

Add support for make W=12, make W=123 and so on, to enable warnings from
multiple W= levels. Normally, make W= does not include warnings
from the previous level.

kbuild: Disable -Wunused-but-set-variable for gcc 4.6.0

2011-04-29T14:58:14+00:00

Disable the new -Wunused-but-set-variable that was added in gcc 4.6.0
It produces more false positives than useful warnings.

This can still be enabled using W=1

kbuild: implement several W= levels

2011-04-28T15:59:07+00:00

Building a kernel with "make W=1" produces far too much noise to be
useful.

Divide the warning options in three groups:

    W=1 - warnings that may be relevant and does not occur too often
    W=2 - warnings that occur quite often but may still be relevant
    W=3 - the more obscure warnings, can most likely be ignored

When building the whole kernel, those levels produce:

W=1 - 4859 warnings
W=2 - 1394 warnings
W=3 - 86666 warnings

respectively. Warnings have been counted with Geert's script at

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geert/linux-log/linux-log-summary.pl

Many warnings occur from .h files so fixing one file may have a nice
effect on the total number of warnings.

With these changes I am actually tempted to try W=1 now and then.
Previously there was just too much noise.

Borislav:

- make the W= levels exclusive
- move very noisy and making little sense for the kernel warnings to W=3
- drop -Woverlength-strings due to useless warning message
- copy explanatory text for the different warning levels to 'make help'
- recount warnings per level

kbuild: Add extra gcc checks

2011-03-09T14:35:35+00:00

Add a 'W=1' Makefile switch which adds additional checking per build
object.

The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the
process of writing their code, want to do the occasional

make W=1 [target.o]

and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they
could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various
bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build
process.

ftrace: Speed up recordmcount

2010-11-18T22:16:05+00:00

cmd_record_mcount is used to locate the _mcount symbols in the object
files, only the files compiled with -pg has the _mcount symbol, so, it
is only needed for such files, but the current cmd_record_mcount is used
for all of the object files, so, we need to fix it and speed it up.

Since -pg may be removed by the method used in kernel/trace/Makefile:

ORIG_CFLAGS := $(KBUILD_CFLAGS)
KBUILD_CFLAGS = $(subst -pg,,$(ORIG_CFLAGS))

Or may be removed by the method used in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile:

CFLAGS_REMOVE_file.o = -pg

So, we must check the last variable stores the compiling flags, that is
c_flags(Please refer to cmd_cc_o_c and rule_cc_o_c defined in
scripts/Makefile.build) and since the CFLAGS_REMOVE_file.o is already
filtered in _c_flags(Please refer to scripts/Makefile.lib) and _c_flags
has less symbols, therefore, we only need to check _c_flags.

---------------
Changes from v1:

  o Don't touch Makefile for CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is enough
  o Use _c_flags intead of KBUILD_CFLAGS to cover CONFIG_REMOVE_file.o = -pg
