2022-12-13kbuild: use .NOTINTERMEDIATE for future GNU Make versionsMasahiro Yamada
In Kbuild, some files are generated by chains of pattern/implicit rules. For example, *.dtb.o files in drivers/of/unittest-data/Makefile are generated by the chain of 3 pattern rules, like this: %.dts -> %.dtb -> %.dtb.S -> %.dtb.o Here, %.dts is the real source, %.dtb.o is the final target. %.dtb and %.dtb.S are called "intermediate files". As GNU Make manual [1] says, intermediate files are treated differently in two ways: (a) The first difference is what happens if the intermediate file does not exist. If an ordinary file 'b' does not exist, and make considers a target that depends on 'b', it invariably creates 'b' and then updates the target from 'b'. But if 'b' is an intermediate file, then make can leave well enough alone: it won't create 'b' unless one of its prerequisites is out of date. This means the target depending on 'b' won't be rebuilt either, unless there is some other reason to update that target: for example the target doesn't exist or a different prerequisite is newer than the target. (b) The second difference is that if make does create 'b' in order to update something else, it deletes 'b' later on after it is no longer needed. Therefore, an intermediate file which did not exist before make also does not exist after make. make reports the deletion to you by printing a 'rm' command showing which file it is deleting. The combination of these is problematic for Kbuild because most of the build rules depend on FORCE and the if_changed* macros really determine if the target should be updated. So, all missing files, whether they are intermediate or not, are always rebuilt. To see the problem, delete ".SECONDARY:" from scripts/Kbuild.include, and repeat this command: $ make allmodconfig drivers/of/unittest-data/ The intermediate files will be deleted, which results in rebuilding intermediate and final objects in the next run of make. In the old days, people suppressed (b) in inconsistent ways. As commit 54a702f70589 ("kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and remove .PRECIOUS markers") noted, you should not use .PRECIOUS because .PRECIOUS has the following behavior (c), which is not likely what you want. (c) If make is killed or interrupted during the execution of their recipes, the target is not deleted. Also, the target is not deleted on error even if .DELETE_ON_ERROR is specified. .SECONDARY is a much better way to disable (b), but a small problem is that .SECONDARY enables (a), which gives a side-effect to $?; prerequisites marked as .SECONDARY do not appear in $?. This is a drawback for Kbuild. I thought it was a bug and opened a bug report. As Paul, the GNU Make maintainer, concluded in [2], this is not a bug. A good news is that, GNU Make 4.4 added the perfect solution, .NOTINTERMEDIATE, which cancels both (a) and (b). For clarificaton, my understanding of .INTERMEDIATE, .SECONDARY, .PRECIOUS and .NOTINTERMEDIATE are as follows: (a) (b) (c) .INTERMEDIATE enable enable disable .SECONDARY enable disable disable .PRECIOUS disable disable enable .NOTINTERMEDIATE disable disable disable However, GNU Make 4.4 has a bug for the global .NOTINTERMEDIATE. [3] It was fixed by commit 6164608900ad ("[SV 63417] Ensure global .NOTINTERMEDIATE disables all intermediates"), and will be available in the next release of GNU Make. The following is the gain for .NOTINTERMEDIATE: [Current Make] $ make allnoconfig vmlinux [ full build ] $ rm include/linux/device.h $ make vmlinux CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh Make does not notice the removal of <linux/device.h>.

For older Make versions, they fall back to the 'test' shell command. The first two parameters to $(intcmp ...) must not be empty. To avoid the syntax error, I appended '0' to them.

2022-09-29kbuild: remove the target in signal traps when interruptedMasahiro Yamada
When receiving some signal, GNU Make automatically deletes the target if it has already been changed by the interrupted recipe. If the target is possibly incomplete due to interruption, it must be deleted so that it will be remade from scratch on the next run of make. Otherwise, the target would remain corrupted permanently because its timestamp had already been updated. Thanks to this behavior of Make, you can stop the build any time by pressing Ctrl-C, and just run 'make' to resume it. Kbuild also relies on this feature, but it is equivalently important for any build systems that make decisions based on timestamps (if you want to support Ctrl-C reliably). However, this does not always work as claimed; Make immediately dies with Ctrl-C if its stderr goes into a pipe. [Test Makefile] foo: echo hello > $@ sleep 3 echo world >> $@ [Test Result] $ make # hit Ctrl-C echo hello > foo sleep 3 ^Cmake: *** Deleting file 'foo' make: *** [Makefile:3: foo] Interrupt $ make 2>&1 | cat # hit Ctrl-C echo hello > foo sleep 3 ^C$ # 'foo' is often left-over The reason is because SIGINT is sent to the entire process group. In this example, SIGINT kills 'cat', and 'make' writes the message to the closed pipe, then dies with SIGPIPE before cleaning the target. A typical bad scenario (as reported by [1], [2]) is to save build log by using the 'tee' command: $ make 2>&1 | tee log This can be problematic for any build systems based on Make, so I hope it will be fixed in GNU Make. The maintainer of GNU Make stated this is a long-standing issue and difficult to fix [3]. It has not been fixed yet as of writing. So, we cannot rely on Make cleaning the target. We can do it by ourselves, in signal traps. As far as I understand, Make takes care of SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SITERM for the target removal. I added the traps for them, and also for SIGPIPE just in case cmd_* rule prints something to stdout or stderr (but I did not observe an actual case where SIGPIPE was triggered). [Note 1] The trap handler might be worth explaining. rm -f $@; trap - $(sig); kill -s $(sig) $$ This lets the shell kill itself by the signal it caught, so the parent process can tell the child has exited on the signal. Generally, this is a proper manner for handling signals, in case the calling program (like Bash) may monitor WIFSIGNALED() and WTERMSIG() for WCE although this may not be a big deal here because GNU Make handles SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT in WUE and SIGTERM in IUE. IUE - Immediate Unconditional Exit WUE - Wait and Unconditional Exit WCE - Wait and Cooperative Exit For details, see "Proper handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT" [4]. [Note 2] Reverting 392885ee82d3 ("kbuild: let fixdep directly write to .*.cmd files") would directly address [1], but it only saves if_changed_dep. As reported in [2], all commands that use redirection can potentially leave an empty (i.e. broken) target. [Note 3] Another (even safer) approach might be to always write to a temporary file, and rename it to $@ at the end of the recipe. <command> > $(tmp-target) mv $(tmp-target) $@ It would require a lot of Makefile changes, and result in ugly code, so I did not take it. [Note 4] A little more thoughts about a pattern rule with multiple targets (or a grouped target). %.x %.y: %.z <recipe> When interrupted, GNU Make deletes both %.x and %.y, while this solution only deletes $@. Probably, this is not a big deal. The next run of make will execute the rule again to create $@ along with the other files.

2022-05-29kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBTMasahiro Yamada
When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted to ELF. CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until objects are merged together. This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look similar with/without LTO. The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and how this commit is changing it. Current build flow ================== [1] single-object module $(LD) $(CC) +objtool $(LD) foo.c --------------------> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko (LLVM IR) (ELF) | (ELF) | foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) [2] multi-object module $(LD) $(CC) $(AR) +objtool $(LD) foo1.c -----> foo1.o -----> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko | (archive) (ELF) | (ELF) foo2.c -----> foo2.o --/ | (LLVM IR) foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) One confusion is that foo.o in multi-object module is an archive despite of its suffix. New build flow ============== [1] single-object module Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR. Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule. When LTO is disabled, $(LD) is unneeded because $(CC) produces an ELF object. $(CC)+$(LD)+objtool $(LD) foo.c ----------------------------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko (ELF) | (ELF) | foo.mod.o --/ (LLVM IR) [2] multi-object module Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM IR files into an archive, but there was no technical reason to do so.

2022-01-08certs: simplify $(srctree)/ handling and remove config_filename macroMasahiro Yamada
The complex macro, config_filename, was introduced to do: [1] drop double-quotes from the string value [2] add $(srctree)/ prefix in case the file is not found in $(objtree) [3] escape spaces and more [1] will be more generally handled by Kconfig later. As for [2], Kbuild uses VPATH to search for files in $(objtree), $(srctree) in this order. GNU Make can natively handle it. As for [3], converting $(space) to $(space_escape) back and forth looks questionable to me. It is well-known that GNU Make cannot handle file paths with spaces in the first place. Instead of using the complex macro, use $< so it will be expanded to the file path of the key. Remove config_filename, finally. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2021-05-27kbuild: sink stdout from cmd for silent buildMasahiro Yamada
When building with 'make -s', no output to stdout should be printed. As Arnd Bergmann reported [1], mkimage shows the detailed information of the generated images. I think this should be suppressed by the 'cmd' macro instead of by individual scripts. Insert 'exec >/dev/null;' in order to redirect stdout to /dev/null for silent builds. [Note about this implementation] 'exec >/dev/null;' may look somewhat tricky, but this has a reason. Appending '>/dev/null' at the end of command line is a common way for redirection, so I first tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) $(cmd_$(1)) >/dev/null ... but it would not work if $(cmd_$(1)) itself contains a redirection. For example, cmd_wrap in scripts/Makefile.asm-generic redirects the output from the 'echo' command into the target file. It would be expanded into: echo "#include <asm-generic/$*.h>" > $@ >/dev/null Then, the target file gets empty because the string will go to /dev/null instead of $@. Next, I tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) { $(cmd_$(1)); } >/dev/null The form above would be expanded into: { echo "#include <asm-generic/$*.h>" > $@; } >/dev/null This works as expected. However, it would be a syntax error if $(cmd_$(1)) is empty. When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is disabled, $(call cmd,gen_ksymdeps) in scripts/Makefile.build would be expanded into: set -e; { ; } >/dev/null ..., which causes an syntax error. I also tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) ( $(cmd_$(1)) ) >/dev/null ... but this causes a syntax error for the same reason. So, finally I adopted: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) exec >/dev/null; $(cmd_$(1)) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210514135752.2910387-1-arnd@kernel.org/ Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2020-06-17kbuild: improve cc-option to clean up all temporary filesMasahiro Yamada
When cc-option and friends evaluate compiler flags, the temporary file $$TMP is created as an output object, and automatically cleaned up. The actual file path of $$TMP is .<pid>.tmp, here <pid> is the process ID of $(shell ...) invoked from cc-option. (Please note $$$$ is the escape sequence of $$). Such garbage files are cleaned up in most cases, but some compiler flags create additional output files. For example, -gsplit-dwarf creates a .dwo file. When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y, you will see a bunch of .<pid>.dwo files left in the top of build directories. You may not notice them unless you do 'ls -a', but the garbage files will increase every time you run 'make'. This commit changes the temporary object path to .tmp_<pid>/tmp, and removes .tmp_<pid> directory when exiting. Separate build artifacts such as *.dwo will be cleaned up all together because their file paths are usually determined based on the base name of the object. Another example is -ftest-coverage, which outputs the coverage data into <base-name-of-object>.gcno Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2020-05-12kbuild: use -MMD instead of -MD to exclude system headers from dependencyMasahiro Yamada
This omits system headers from the generated header dependency. System headers are not updated unless you upgrade the compiler. Nor do they contain CONFIG options, so fixdep does not need to parse them. Having said that, the effect of this optimization will be quite small because the kernel code generally does not include system headers except <stdarg.h>. Host programs include a lot of system headers, but there are not so many in the kernel tree. At first, keeping system headers in .*.cmd files might be useful to detect the compiler update, but there is no guarantee that <stdarg.h> is included from every file. So, I implemented a more reliable way in the previous commit. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2020-01-07kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.confMasahiro Yamada
Commit bc081dd6e9f6 ("kbuild: generate modules.builtin") added infrastructure to generate modules.builtin, the list of all builtin modules. Basically, it works like this: - Kconfig generates include/config/tristate.conf, the list of tristate CONFIG options with a value in a capital letter. - scripts/Makefile.modbuiltin makes Kbuild descend into directories to collect the information of builtin modules. I am not a big fan of it because Kbuild ends up with traversing the source tree twice. I am not sure how perfectly it should work, but this approach cannot avoid false positives; even if the relevant CONFIG option is tristate, some Makefiles forces obj-m to obj-y. Some examples are: arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/Makefile: obj-$(CONFIG_NVRAM:m=y) += nvram.o net/ipv6/Makefile: obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IPV6)) += inet6_hashtables.o net/netlabel/Makefile: obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IPV6)) += netlabel_calipso.o Nobody has complained about (or noticed) it, so it is probably fine to have false positives in modules.builtin. This commit simplifies the implementation. Let's exploit the fact that every module has MODULE_LICENSE(). (modpost shows a warning if MODULE_LICENSE is missing. If so, 0-day bot would already have blocked such a module.) I added MODULE_FILE to <linux/module.h>. When the code is being compiled as builtin, it will be filled with the file path of the module, and collected into modules.builtin.info. Then, scripts/link-vmlinux.sh extracts the list of builtin modules out of it. This new approach fixes the false-positives above, but adds another type of false-positives; non-modular code may have MODULE_LICENSE() by mistake. This is not a big deal, it is just the code is always orphan. We can clean it up if we like. You can see cleanup examples by: $ git log --grep='make.* explicitly non-modular' To sum up, this commits deletes lots of code, but still produces almost equivalent results. Please note it does not increase the vmlinux size at all. As you can see in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, the .modinfo section is discarded in the link stage.

2019-11-11kbuild: drop $(wildcard $^) check in if_changed* for faster rebuildMasahiro Yamada
The incremental build of Linux kernel is pretty slow when lots of objects are compiled. The rebuild of allmodconfig may take a few minutes even when none of the objects needs to be rebuilt. The time-consuming part in the incremental build is the evaluation of if_changed* macros since they are used in the recipes to compile C and assembly source files into objects. I notice the following code in if_changed* is expensive: $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) In the incremental build, every object has its .*.cmd file, which contains the auto-generated list of included headers. So, $^ are expanded into the long list of the source file + included headers, and $(wildcard $^) checks whether they exist. It may not be clear why this check exists there. Here is the record of my research. [1] The first code addition into Kbuild This code dates back to 2002. It is the pre-git era. So, I copy-pasted it from the historical git tree. | commit 4a6db0791528c220655b063cf13fefc8470dbfee (HEAD) | Author: Kai Germaschewski <kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> | Date: Mon Jun 17 00:22:37 2002 -0500 | | kbuild: Handle removed headers | | New and old way to handle dependencies would choke when a file | #include'd by other files was removed, since the dependency on it was | still recorded, but since it was gone, make has no idea what to do about | it (and would complain with "No rule to make <file> ...") | | We now add targets for all the previously included files, so make will | just ignore them if they disappear. | | diff --git a/Rules.make b/Rules.make | index 6ef827d3df39..7db5301ea7db 100644 | --- a/Rules.make | +++ b/Rules.make | @@ -446,7 +446,7 @@ if_changed = $(if $(strip $? \ | # execute the command and also postprocess generated .d dependencies | # file | | -if_changed_dep = $(if $(strip $? \ | +if_changed_dep = $(if $(strip $? $(filter-out FORCE $(wildcard $^),$^)\ | $(filter-out $(cmd_$(1)),$(cmd_$@))\ | $(filter-out $(cmd_$@),$(cmd_$(1)))),\ | @set -e; \ | diff --git a/scripts/fixdep.c b/scripts/fixdep.c | index b5d7bee8efc7..db45bd1888c0 100644 | --- a/scripts/fixdep.c | +++ b/scripts/fixdep.c | @@ -292,7 +292,7 @@ void parse_dep_file(void *map, size_t len) | exit(1); | } | memcpy(s, m, p-m); s[p-m] = 0; | - printf("%s: \\\n", target); | + printf("deps_%s := \\\n", target); | m = p+1; | | clear_config(); | @@ -314,7 +314,8 @@ void parse_dep_file(void *map, size_t len) | } | m = p + 1; | } | - printf("\n"); | + printf("\n%s: $(deps_%s)\n\n", target, target); | + printf("$(deps_%s):\n", target); | } | | void print_deps(void) The "No rule to make <file> ..." error can be solved by passing -MP to the compiler, but I think the detection of header removal is a good feature.

This does not explain whether a non-existent prerequisite is considered to be newer than the target. At this point of time, GNU Make 3.7x was used, where the $? did not include non-existent prerequisites. Therefore, $(filter-out FORCE $(wildcard $^),$^) was useful to detect the header removal, and to rebuild the related objects if it is the case. [2] Change of $? behavior Later, the behavior of $? was changed (fixed) to include prerequisites that did not exist. First, GNU Make commit 64e16d6c00a5 ("Various changes getting ready for the release of 3.81.") changed it, but in the release test of 3.81, it turned out to break the kernel build. See these: - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?16002 - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?16051 Then, GNU Make commit 6d8d9b74d9c5 ("Numerous updates to tests for issues found on Cygwin and Windows.") reverted it for the 3.81 release to give Linux kernel time to adjust to the new behavior. After the 3.81 release, GNU Make commit 7595f38f62af ("Fixed a number of documentation bugs, plus some build/install issues:") re-added it. [3] Adjustment to the new $? behavior on Kbuild side Meanwhile, the kernel build was changed by commit 4f1933620f57 ("kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior") to adjust to the new $? behavior. [4] GNU Make 3.82 released in 2010 GNU Make 3.82 was the first release that integrated the correct $? behavior. At this point, Kbuild dealt with GNU Make versions with different $? behaviors. 3.81 or older: $? does not contain any non-existent prerequisite. $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) was useful to detect removed include headers. 3.82 or newer: $? contains non-existent prerequisites. When a header is removed, it appears in $?. $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) became a redundant check. With the correct $? behavior, we could have dropped the expensive check for 3.82 or later, but we did not. (Maybe nobody noticed this optimization.) [5] The .SECONDARY special target trips up $? Some time later, I noticed $? did not work as expected under some circumstances. As above, $? should contain non-existent prerequisites, but the ones specified as SECONDARY do not appear in $?. I asked this in GNU Make ML, and it seems a bug: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2019-01/msg00001.html Since commit 8e9b61b293d9 ("kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include"), all files, including headers listed in .*.cmd files, are treated as secondary. So, we are back into the incorrect $? behavior. If we Kbuild want to react to the header removal, we need to keep $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) but this makes the rebuild so slow. [Summary] - I believe noticing the header removal and recompiling related objects is a nice feature for the build system. - If $? worked correctly, $(filter-out $(PHONY),$?) would be enough to detect the header removal. - Currently, $? does not work correctly when used with .SECONDARY, and Kbuild is hit by this bug. - I filed a bug report for this, but not fixed yet as of writing. - Currently, the header removal is detected by the following expensive code: $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) - I do not want to revert commit 8e9b61b293d9 ("kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include"). Specifying .SECONDARY globally is clean, and it matches to the Kbuild policy. This commit proactively removes the expensive check since it makes the incremental build faster. A downside is Kbuild will no longer be able to notice the header removal. You can confirm it by the full-build followed by a header removal, and then re-build. $ make defconfig all [ full build ] $ rm include/linux/device.h $ make CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh DESCEND objtool CHK include/generated/compile.h Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#11) Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 12 modules Previously, Kbuild noticed a missing header and emits a build error. Now, Kbuild is fine with it. This is an unusual corner-case, not a big deal. Once the $? bug is fixed in GNU Make, everything will work fine. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

2019-07-11kbuild: use -- separater intead of $(filter-out ...) for cc-cross-prefixMasahiro Yamada
arch/mips/Makefile passes prefixes that start with '-' to cc-cross-prefix when $(tool-archpref) evaluates to the empty string. They are filtered-out before the $(shell ...) invocation. Otherwise, 'command -v' would be confused. $ command -v -linux-gcc bash: command: -l: invalid option command: usage: command [-pVv] command [arg ...] Since commit 913ab9780fc0 ("kbuild: use more portable 'command -v' for cc-cross-prefix"), cc-cross-prefix throws away the stderr output, so the console is not polluted in any way. This is not a big deal in practice, but I see a slightly better taste in adding '--' to teach it that '-linux-gcc' is an argument instead of a command option. This will cause extra forking of subshell, but it will not be noticeable performance regression. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

Nor does 'cmd-check' since it expands to a $(filter-out ...) call. So, only the space that matters is the one between 'any-prereq' and 'cmd-check'. By removing it from the code, we can save $(strip ...) evaluation. This refactoring is possible because $(any-prereq)$(cmd-check) is only passed to the first argument of $(if ...), so we are only interested in whether or not it is empty.

2019-06-08kbuild: use more portable 'command -v' for cc-cross-prefixMasahiro Yamada
To print the pathname that will be used by shell in the current environment, 'command -v' is a standardized way. [1] 'which' is also often used in scripts, but it is less portable. When I worked on commit bd55f96fa9fc ("kbuild: refactor cc-cross-prefix implementation"), I was eager to use 'command -v' but it did not work. (The reason is explained below.) I kept 'which' as before but got rid of '> /dev/null 2>&1' as I thought it was no longer needed. Sorry, I was wrong. It works well on my Ubuntu machine, but Alexey Brodkin reports noisy warnings on CentOS7 when 'which' fails to find the given command in the PATH environment. $ which foo which: no foo in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin) Given that behavior of 'which' depends on system (and it may not be installed by default), I want to try 'command -v' once again. The specification [1] clearly describes the behavior of 'command -v' when the given command is not found: Otherwise, no output shall be written and the exit status shall reflect that the name was not found. However, we need a little magic to use 'command -v' from Make. $(shell ...) passes the argument to a subshell for execution, and returns the standard output of the command. Here is a trick. GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special characters are found in the command and omitting the subshell will not change the behavior. In this case, no shell special character is used. So, Make will try to run it directly. However, 'command' is a shell-builtin command, then Make would fail to find it in the PATH environment: $ make ARCH=m68k defconfig make: command: Command not found make: command: Command not found make: command: Command not found In fact, Make has a table of shell-builtin commands because it must ask the shell to execute them. Until recently, 'command' was missing in the table. This issue was fixed by the following commit: | commit 1af314465e5dfe3e8baa839a32a72e83c04f26ef | Author: Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org> | Date: Sun Nov 12 18:10:28 2017 -0500 | | * job.c: Add "command" as a known shell built-in. | | This is not a POSIX shell built-in but it's common in UNIX shells. | Reported by Nick Bowler <nbowler@draconx.ca>. Because the latest release is GNU Make 4.2.1 in 2016, this commit is not included in any released versions. (But some distributions may have back-ported it.) We need to trick Make to spawn a subshell. There are various ways to do so: 1) Use a shell special character '~' as dummy $(shell : ~; command -v $(c)gcc) 2) Use a variable reference that always expands to the empty string (suggested by David Laight) $(shell command$${x:+} -v $(c)gcc) 3) Use redirect $(shell command -v $(c)gcc 2>/dev/null) I chose 3) to not confuse people. The stderr would not be polluted anyway, but it will provide extra safety, and is easy to understand.

2019-03-04kbuild: remove cc-version macroMasahiro Yamada
There is no more direct user of this macro; it is only used by cc-ifversion. Calling this macro is not efficient since it invokes the compiler to get the compiler version. CONFIG_GCC_VERSION is already calculated in the Kconfig stage, so Makefile can reuse it. Here is a note about the slight difference between cc-version and CONFIG_GCC_VERSION: When using Clang, cc-version is evaluated to '0402' because Clang defines __GNUC__ and __GNUC__MINOR__, and looks like GCC 4.2 in the version point of view. On the other hand, CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=0 when $(CC) is clang. There are currently two users of cc-ifversion: arch/mips/loongson64/Platform arch/powerpc/Makefile They are not affected by this change. The format of cc-version is <major><minor>, while CONFIG_GCC_VERSION <major><minor><patch>. I adjusted cc-ifversion for the difference of the number of digits.

- $(word 1, <text>) is equivalent to $(firstword <text>) - hardcode "gcc" instead of $(CC) - minimize the shell script part A little more notes in case $(filter-out -%, ...) is not clear. arch/mips/Makefile passes prefixes depending on the configuration. CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, $(tool-archpref)-linux- \ $(tool-archpref)-linux-gnu- $(tool-archpref)-unknown-linux-gnu-) In the Kconfig stage (e.g. when you run 'make defconfig'), neither CONFIG_32BIT nor CONFIG_64BIT is defined. So, $(tool-archpref) is empty. As a result, "-linux -linux-gnu- -unknown-linux-gnu" is passed into cc-cross-prefix. The command 'which' assumes arguments starting with a hyphen as command options, then emits the following messages: Illegal option -l Illegal option -l Illegal option -u I think it is strange to define CROSS_COMPILE depending on the CONFIG options since you need to feed $(CC) to Kconfig, but it is how MIPS Makefile currently works. Anyway, it would not hurt to filter-out invalid strings beforehand. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

2018-12-01kbuild: change if_changed_rule for multi-line recipeMasahiro Yamada
The 'define' ... 'endef' directive is useful to confine a series of shell commands into a single macro: define foo [action1] [action2] [action3] endif Each action is executed in a separate subshell. However, rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S in scripts/Makefile.build are written as follows (with a trailing semicolon in each cmd_*): define rule_cc_o_c [action1] ; \ [action2] ; \ [action3] ; endef All shell commands are concatenated with '; \' so that it looks like a single command from the Makefile point of view. This does not exploit the benefits of 'define' ... 'endef' form because a single shell command can be more simply written, like this: rule_cc_o_c = \ [action1] ; \ [action2] ; \ [action3] ; I guess the intention for the command concatenation was to let the '@set -e' in if_changed_rule cover all the commands. We can improve the readability by moving '@set -e' to the 'cmd' macro. The combo of $(call echo-cmd,*) $(cmd_*) in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S have been replaced with $(call cmd,*). The trailing back-slashes have been removed. Here is a note about the performance: the commands in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S were previously executed all together in a single subshell, but now each line in a separate subshell. This means Make will spawn extra subshells [1]. I measured the build performance for x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS and I saw slight performance regression, but I believe code readability and maintainability wins. [1] Precisely, GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special characters are found in the command line and omitting the subshell will not change the behavior.

2018-12-01kbuild: simplify dependency generation for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMSMasahiro Yamada
My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include and scripts/Makefile.build. Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick; possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly. I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules. A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will be much faster. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

The if_changed_dep has carried this safety mechanism since it was added in 2002. If fixdep fails for some reasons or a user terminates the build while fixdep is running, the incomplete output from the fixdep could be troublesome. This is my insight about some bad scenarios: [1] If the compiler succeeds to generate *.o file, but fixdep fails to write necessary dependencies to .*.cmd file, Make will miss to rebuild the object when headers or CONFIG options are changed. In this case, fixdep should not generate .*.cmd file at all so that 'arg-check' will surely trigger the rebuild of the object. [2] A partially constructed .*.cmd file may not be a syntactically correct makefile. The next time Make runs, it would include it, then fail to parse it. Once this happens, 'make clean' is be the only way to fix it. In fact, [1] is no longer a problem since commit 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target"). Make deletes a target file on any failure in its recipe. Because fixdep is a part of the recipe of *.o target, if it fails, the *.o is deleted anyway. However, I am a bit worried about the slight possibility of [2]. So, here is a solution. Let fixdep directly write to a .*.cmd file, but allow makefiles to include it only when its corresponding target exists. This effectively reverts commit 2982c953570b ("kbuild: remove redundant $(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation"), and commit 00d78ab2ba75 ("kbuild: remove dead code in cmd_files calculation in top Makefile") because now we must check the presence of targets.
