kbuild: fix DT binding schema rule again to avoid needless rebuilds

2020-04-23T01:50:26Z

Since commit 7a0496056064 ("kbuild: fix DT binding schema rule to detect command line changes"), this rule is every time re-run even if you change nothing. cmd_dtc takes one additional parameter to pass to the -O option of dtc. We need to pass 'yaml' to if_changed_rule. Otherwise, cmd-check invoked from if_changed_rule is false positive.

kbuild: Always validate DT binding examples

2020-03-03T11:49:21Z

Most folks only run dt_binding_check on the single schema they care about by setting DT_SCHEMA_FILES. That means example is only checked against that one schema which is not always sufficient. Let's address this by splitting processed-schema.yaml into 2 files: one that's always all schemas for the examples and one that's just the schema in DT_SCHEMA_FILES for dtbs.

kbuild: fix DT binding schema rule to detect command line changes

2020-02-26T17:23:12Z

This if_change_rule is not working properly; it cannot detect any command line change. The reason is because cmd-check in scripts/Kbuild.include compares $(cmd_$@) and $(cmd_$1), but cmd_dtc_dt_yaml does not exist here. For if_change_rule to work properly, the stem part of cmd_* and rule_* must match. Because this cmd_and_fixdep invokes cmd_dtc, this rule must be named rule_dtc.

kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

2020-02-03T16:53:07Z

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004. It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration. This commit renames like follows: always -> always-y hostprogs-y -> hostprogs So, scripts/Makefile will look like this: always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ... always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ... ... hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m) I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier. The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward compatibility for a while.

kbuild: pass KBUILD_MODFILE when compiling builtin objects

2020-01-06T17:18:39Z

When compiling, Kbuild passes KBUILD_BASENAME (basename of the object) and KBUILD_MODNAME (basename of the module). This commit adds another one, KBUILD_MODFILE, which is the path of the module. (or, the path of the module it would end up in if it were compiled as a module.) The next commit will use this to generate modules.builtin without tristate.conf. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: add stringify helper to quote a string passed to C files

kbuild: do not create orphan built-in.a or obj-y objects

2020-01-06T17:18:38Z

Both 'obj-y += foo/' and 'obj-m += foo/' request Kbuild to visit the sub-directory foo/, but the difference is that only the former combines foo/built-in.a into the built-in.a of the current directory because everything in sub-directories visited by obj-m is supposed to be modular. So, it makes sense to create built-in.a only if that sub-directory is reachable by the chain of obj-y. Otherwise, built-in.a will not be linked into vmlinux anyway. For the same reason, it is pointless to compile obj-y objects in the directory visited by obj-m. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: remove header compile test

2019-11-14T15:22:35Z

There are both positive and negative options about this feature. At first, I thought it was a good idea, but actually Linus stated a negative opinion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/29/227). I admit it is ugly and annoying. The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers. (Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness of the exported headers.) I will maintain a small build rule in usr/include/Makefile. Remove the other header test functionality. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: remove ar-option and KBUILD_ARFLAGS

2019-10-01T00:20:33Z

Commit 40df759e2b9e ("kbuild: Fix build with binutils <= 2.19") introduced ar-option and KBUILD_ARFLAGS to deal with old binutils. According to Documentation/process/changes.rst, the current minimal supported version of binutils is 2.21 so you can assume the 'D' option is always supported. Not only GNU ar but also llvm-ar supports it. With the 'D' option hard-coded, there is no more user of ar-option or KBUILD_ARFLAGS.
