kbuild: strip whitespace in cmd_record_mcount findstring

2019-03-28T14:46:55Z

CC_FLAGS_FTRACE may contain trailing whitespace that interferes with findstring. For example, commit 6977f95e63b9 ("powerpc: avoid -mno-sched-epilog on GCC 4.9 and newer") introduced a change such that on my ppc64le box, CC_FLAGS_FTRACE="-pg -mprofile-kernel ". (Note the trailing space.) When cmd_record_mcount is now invoked, findstring fails as the ftrace flags were found at very end of _c_flags, without the trailing space. _c_flags=" ... -pg -mprofile-kernel" CC_FLAGS_FTRACE="-pg -mprofile-kernel " ^ findstring is looking for this extra space Remove the redundant whitespaces from CC_FLAGS_FTRACE in cmd_record_mcount to avoid this problem. [masahiro.yamada: This issue only happens in the released versions of GNU Make. CC_FLAGS_FTRACE will not contain the trailing space if you use the latest GNU Make, which contains commit b90fabc8d6f3 ("* NEWS: Do not insert a space during '+=' if the value is empty.") ] Suggested-by: Masahiro Yamada (refactoring) Fixes: 6977f95e63b9 ("powerpc: avoid -mno-sched-epilog on GCC 4.9 and newer").

kbuild: move archive command to scripts/Makefile.lib

2019-03-13T17:39:10Z

scripts/Makefile.build and arch/s390/boot/Makefile use the same command (thin archiving with symbol table creation). Avoid the code duplication, and move it to scripts/Makefile.lib. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: hardcode genksyms path and remove GENKSYMS variable

2019-02-27T12:41:26Z

The genksyms source was integrated into the kernel tree in 2003. I do not expect anybody still using the external /sbin/genksyms. Kbuild does not need to provide the ability to override GENKSYMS. Let's remove the GENKSYMS variable, and use the hardcoded path. Since it occurred in the pre-git era, I attached the commit message in case somebody is interested in the historical background. | Author: Kai Germaschewski | Date: Wed Feb 19 04:17:28 2003 -0600 | | kbuild: [PATCH] put genksyms in scripts dir | | This puts genksyms into scripts/genksyms/. | | genksyms used to be maintained externally, though the only possible user | was the kernel build. Moving it into the kernel sources makes it easier to | keep it uptodate, like for example updating it to generate linker scripts | directly instead of postprocessing the generated header file fragments | with sed, as we do currently. | | Also, genksyms does not handle __typeof__, which needs to be fixed since | some of the exported symbol in the kernel are defined using __typeof__. | | (Rusty Russell/me) Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: Disable extra debugging info in .s output

2019-02-20T00:39:39Z

Modern gcc adds view assignments, reset assertion checking in .loc directives and a couple more additional debug markers, which clutters the asm output unnecessarily: For example: bsp_resume: .LFB3466: .loc 1 1868 1 is_stmt 1 view -0 .cfi_startproc .loc 1 1869 2 view .LVU73 # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869: if (this_cpu->c_bsp_resume) .loc 1 1869 14 is_stmt 0 view .LVU74 movq this_cpu(%rip), %rax # this_cpu, this_cpu movq 64(%rax), %rax # this_cpu.94_1->c_bsp_resume, _2 # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869: if (this_cpu->c_bsp_resume) .loc 1 1869 5 view .LVU75 testq %rax, %rax # _2 je .L8 #, .loc 1 1870 3 is_stmt 1 view .LVU76 movq $boot_cpu_data, %rdi #, jmp __x86_indirect_thunk_rax or .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU478 .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU479 .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU480 .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU481 .LBB1385: .LBB1383: .LBB1379: .LBB1377: .LBB1375: .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU482 .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU483 movl %edi, %edx # cpu, cpu .LVL87: .loc 2 57 9 is_stmt 0 view .LVU484 That MOV in there is drowned in debugging information and latter makes it hard to follow the asm. And that DWARF info is not really needed for asm output staring. Disable the debug information generation which clutters the asm output unnecessarily: bsp_resume: # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869: if (this_cpu->c_bsp_resume) movq this_cpu(%rip), %rax # this_cpu, this_cpu movq 64(%rax), %rax # this_cpu.94_1->c_bsp_resume, _2 # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869: if (this_cpu->c_bsp_resume) testq %rax, %rax # _2 je .L8 #, # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1870: this_cpu->c_bsp_resume(&boot_cpu_data); movq $boot_cpu_data, %rdi #, jmp __x86_indirect_thunk_rax .L8: # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1871: } rep ret .size bsp_resume, .-bsp_resume [ bp: write commit message. ] Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov

kbuild: remove unnecessary in-subshell execution

kbuild: add real-prereqs shorthand for $(filter-out FORCE,$^)

2019-01-28T00:11:17Z

In Kbuild, if_changed and friends must have FORCE as a prerequisite. Hence, $(filter-out FORCE,$^) or $(filter-out $(PHONY),$^) is a common idiom to get the names of all the prerequisites except phony targets. Add real-prereqs as a shorthand. Note: We cannot replace $(filter %.o,$^) in cmd_link_multi-m because $^ may include auto-generated dependencies from the .*.cmd file when a single object module is changed into a multi object module. Refer to commit 69ea912fda74 ("kbuild: remove unneeded link_multi_deps"). I added some comment to avoid accidental breakage. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Rob Herring

kbuild: remove top-level built-in.a

2019-01-28T00:11:17Z

The symbol table in the final archive is unneeded; the linker does not require the symbol table after the --whole-archive option. Every object file in the archive is included in the link anyway. Pass thin archives from subdirectories directly to the linker, and remove the final archiving step. Fix up the document and comments as well. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Nicholas Piggin
