Revert ".gitignore: ignore .cover and .mbx"

2023-07-04T22:05:12Z

This reverts commit 534066a983df0935847061c844eb178f8a53a9e7. It's actively detrimental in that it hides files that shouldn't be hidden. If I have some b4 mbx file in my git directory, it either was already applied with "git am" and is now stale, or maybe it's waiting for that to happen. In neither case is "ignore it" the right option. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursion

2023-06-22T12:21:06Z

When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op. Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits: - 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option") - a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding") We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules. Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules, modpost sets sym->used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB only for symbols with sym->used==true. BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/ Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain reaction of trimming comes into play because: - CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols - CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux, but not modules If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess that is unlikely to happen.

.gitignore: ignore .cover and .mbx

.gitignore: update the command to check tracked files being ignored

2023-01-22T14:43:32Z

Recent git versions do not accept the noted command. $ git ls-files -i --exclude-standard fatal: ls-files -i must be used with either -o or -c The -c was implied before, but we need to make it explicit since git commit b338e9f66873 ("ls-files: error out on -i unless -o or -c are specified"). Also, replace --exclude-standard with --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore so that everyone will get consistent results. git-ls-files(1) says: --exclude-standard Add the standard Git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore in each directory, and the user's global exclusion file. We cannot predict what is locally added to .git/info/exclude or the user's global exclusion file. We can only manage .gitignore files committed to the repository.

Previously, *.rpm files were created under $HOME/rpmbuild/, but since commit 8818039f959b ("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable using koji"), srcrpm-pkg creates the source rpm in the kernel tree because it sets '_srcrpmdir'. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: Cleanup DT Overlay intermediate files as appropriate

2022-11-18T20:45:30Z

%.dtbo.o and %.dtbo.S files are used to build-in DT Overlay. They should should not be removed by Make or the kernel will be needlessly rebuilt. These should be removed by "clean" and ignored by git like other intermediate files.
