riscv: add dependency among Image(.gz), loader(.bin), and vmlinuz.efi
A common issue in Makefile is a race in parallel building. You need to be careful to prevent multiple threads from writing to the same file simultaneously. Commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images") addressed such a bad scenario. A similar symptom occurs with the following command: $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=riscv Image Image.gz loader loader.bin vmlinuz.efi [ snip ] SORTTAB vmlinux OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image GZIP arch/riscv/boot/Image.gz AS arch/riscv/boot/loader.o AS arch/riscv/boot/loader.o Kernel: arch/riscv/boot/Image is ready PAD arch/riscv/boot/vmlinux.bin GZIP arch/riscv/boot/vmlinuz Kernel: arch/riscv/boot/loader is ready OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/loader.bin Kernel: arch/riscv/boot/loader.bin is ready Kernel: arch/riscv/boot/Image.gz is ready OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/vmlinuz.o LD arch/riscv/boot/vmlinuz.efi.elf OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/vmlinuz.efi Kernel: arch/riscv/boot/vmlinuz.efi is ready The log "OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image" is displayed 5 times. (also "AS arch/riscv/boot/loader.o" twice.) It indicates that 5 threads simultaneously enter arch/riscv/boot/ and write to arch/riscv/boot/Image. It occasionally leads to a build failure: $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=riscv Image Image.gz loader loader.bin vmlinuz.efi [ snip ] SORTTAB vmlinux OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image OBJCOPY arch/riscv/boot/Image PAD arch/riscv/boot/vmlinux.bin truncate: Invalid number: 'arch/riscv/boot/vmlinux.bin' make[2]: *** [drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile.zboot:13: arch/riscv/boot/vmlinux.bin] Error 1 make[2]: *** Deleting file 'arch/riscv/boot/vmlinux.bin' make[1]: *** [arch/riscv/Makefile:167: vmlinuz.efi] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
