usr/include: refactor .gitignore

2021-05-01T15:43:34Z

The current .gitignore intends to ignore everything under usr/include/ except .gitignore and Makefile. A cleaner solution is to use a pattern suffixed with '/', which matches only directories. It works well here because all the exported headers are located in sub-directories, like , . Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

arch: ia64: Remove rest of perfmon support

2021-01-22T06:42:20Z

Perfmon support (used by oprofile earlier) was removed by commit ecf5b72d5f66 ("ia64: Remove perfmon") earlier, but it missed few files to remove/update. Clean it up.

unexport linux/elfcore.h

2020-07-27T18:29:22Z

It's unusable from userland - it uses elf_gregset_t, which is not provided by exported headers. glibc has it in sys/procfs.h, but the same file defines struct elf_prstatus, so linux/elfcore.h can't be included once sys/procfs.h has been pulled. Same goes for uclibc and dietlibc simply doesn't have elf_gregset_t defined anywhere. IOW, no userland source is including that thing. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

bpfilter: match bit size of bpfilter_umh to that of the kernel

2020-05-17T09:52:01Z

bpfilter_umh is built for the default machine bit of the compiler, which may not match to the bit size of the kernel. This happens in the scenario below: You can use biarch GCC that defaults to 64-bit for building the 32-bit kernel. In this case, Kbuild passes -m32 to teach the compiler to produce 32-bit kernel space objects. However, it is missing when building bpfilter_umh. It is built as a 64-bit ELF, and then embedded into the 32-bit kernel. The 32-bit kernel and 64-bit umh is a bad combination. In theory, we can have 32-bit umh running on 64-bit kernel, but we do not have a good reason to support such a usecase. The best is to match the bit size between them. Pass -m32 or -m64 to the umh build command if it is found in $(KBUILD_CFLAGS). Evaluate CC_CAN_LINK against the kernel bit-size. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: use -MMD instead of -MD to exclude system headers from dependency

2020-05-12T04:28:33Z

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 . 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 is included from every file. So, I implemented a more reliable way in the previous commit. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: rename header-test- to no-header-test in usr/include/Makefile

2020-01-06T17:18:38Z

Since commit d2a99dbdade4 ("kbuild: update compile-test header list for v5.5-rc1"), this does not depend on any CONFIG option. no-header-test is clearer. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: detect missing include guard for exported headers

2020-01-06T17:18:38Z

Adding an include guard to every header file is good practice in case it is included multiple times. Exported headers are compile-tested for the comprehensive sanity checks. Let's include the same header twice. If an include guard is missing, the header will fail to build due to redefinition of something. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg
