Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments

2017-11-20T19:09:11+00:00

Implement a '-none' output mode for kernel-doc which will only output warning messages, and suppresses the warning message about there being no kernel-doc in the file. If the build has requested additional warnings, automatically check all .c files. This patch does not check .h files. Enabling the warning by default would add about 1300 warnings, so it's default off for now. People who care can use this to check they didn't break the docs and maybe we'll get all the warnings fixed and be able to enable this check by default in the future.

kbuild: create built-in.o automatically if parent directory wants it

2017-11-18T02:38:58+00:00

"obj-y += foo/" syntax requires Kbuild to visit the "foo" subdirectory and link built-in.o from that directory. This means foo/Makefile is responsible for creating built-in.o even if there is no object to link (in this case, built-in.o is an empty archive). We have had several fixups like commit 4b024242e8a4 ("kbuild: Fix linking error built-in.o no such file or directory"), then ended up with a complex condition as follows: ifneq ($(strip $(obj-y) $(obj-m) $(obj-) $(subdir-m) $(lib-target)),) builtin-target := $(obj)/built-in.o endif We still have more cases not covered by the above, so we need to add obj- := dummy.o in several places just for creating empty built-in.o. A key point is, the parent Makefile knows whether built-in.o is needed or not. If a subdirectory needs to create built-in.o, its parent can tell the fact when descending. If non-empty $(need-builtin) flag is passed from the parent, built-in.o should be created. $(obj-y) should be still checked to support the single target "%/". All of ugly tricks will go away.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada: "One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is now able to cache the result of shell commands. Some variables are expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the compiler. It is not efficient to redo this computation every time, even when we are not actually building anything. Kbuild creates a hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and their results. The speed-up should be noticeable. Summary: - Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh) - Clean up various Makefiles and scripts - Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles - Cache variables that are expensive to compute - Improve cc-ldopton and ld-option for Clang - Optimize output directory creation" * tag 'kbuild-v4.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (30 commits) kbuild: move coccicheck help from scripts/Makefile.help to top Makefile sh: decompressor: add shipped files to .gitignore frv: .gitignore: ignore vmlinux.lds selinux: remove unnecessary assignment to subdir- kbuild: specify FORCE in Makefile.headersinst as .PHONY target kbuild: remove redundant mkdir from ./Kbuild kbuild: optimize object directory creation for incremental build kbuild: create object directories simpler and faster kbuild: filter-out PHONY targets from "targets" kbuild: remove redundant $(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation kbuild: create directory for make cache only when necessary sh: select KBUILD_DEFCONFIG depending on ARCH kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when cross compiling with Clang kbuild: shrink .cache.mk when it exceeds 1000 lines kbuild: do not call cc-option before KBUILD_CFLAGS initialization kbuild: Cache a few more calls to the compiler kbuild: Add a cache for generated variables kbuild: add forward declaration of default target to Makefile.asm-generic kbuild: remove KBUILD_SUBDIR_ASFLAGS and KBUILD_SUBDIR_CCFLAGS hexagon/kbuild: replace CFLAGS_MODULE with KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE ...

kbuild: optimize object directory creation for incremental build

2017-11-16T00:07:36+00:00

The previous commit largely optimized the object directory creation. We can optimize it more for incremental build. There are already *.cmd files in the output directory. The existing *.cmd files have been picked up by $(wildcard ...). Obviously, directories containing them exist too, so we can skip "mkdir -p". With this, Kbuild runs almost zero "mkdir -p" in incremental building. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: create object directories simpler and faster

2017-11-16T00:07:35+00:00

For the out-of-tree build, scripts/Makefile.build creates output directories, but this operation is not efficient. scripts/Makefile.lib calculates obj-dirs as follows: obj-dirs := $(dir $(multi-objs) $(obj-y)) Please notice $(sort ...) is not used here. Usually the result is as many "./" as objects here. For a lot of duplicated paths, the following command is invoked. _dummy := $(foreach d,$(obj-dirs), $(shell [ -d $(d) ] || mkdir -p $(d))) Then, the costly shell command is run over and over again. I see many points for optimization: [1] Use $(sort ...) to cut down duplicated paths before passing them to system call [2] Use single $(shell ...) instead of repeating it with $(foreach ...) This will reduce forking. [3] We can calculate obj-dirs more simply. Most of objects are already accumulated in $(targets). So, $(dir $(targets)) is fine and more comprehensive. I also removed ugly code in arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile. This is now really unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Tested-by: Douglas Anderson

kbuild: filter-out PHONY targets from "targets"

2017-11-16T00:07:35+00:00

The variable "targets" contains object paths for which existing .*.cmd files should be included. scripts/Makefile.build automatically adds $(MAKECMDGOALS) to "targets" as follows: targets += $(extra-y) $(MAKECMDGOALS) $(always) The $(MAKECMDGOALS) is a PHONY target in several places. PHONY targets never create .*.cmd files. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: remove redundant $(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation

2017-11-16T00:07:34+00:00

I do not see any reason why $(wildcard ...) needs to be called twice for computing cmd_files. Remove the first one. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
