kbuild: fix ld-option function

2013-04-08T09:47:41Z

The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because the command $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO" does not create object file! I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact but the results are the same. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done $ ls -la /tmp/1.o ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory We can easily fix the problem by adding the '-x c' compiler option. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o $ ls -la /tmp/1.o -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr 2 20:40 /tmp/1.o Also fix wrong ld-option example.

Merge branch 'rc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

2012-10-07T22:56:10Z

Pull kbuild fixes from Michal Marek: "Here are two fixes I intended to send after v3.6-rc7, but failed to do so. So please pull them for v3.7-rc1 and they will be picked up by stable. The first one fixes gcc -x syntax in various build-time tests, which icecream and possible other gcc wrappers did not understand (and yes, icecream is going to be fixed as well). The second one fixes make tar-pkg so that unpacking the tarball does not replace the /lib -> /usr/lib symlink on recent Fedora releases." * 'rc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax kbuild: Do not package /boot and /lib in make tar-pkg

kbuild: make: fix if_changed when command contains backslashes

2012-10-05T18:04:36Z

The call if_changed mechanism does not work when the command contains backslashes. This basically is an issue with lzo and bzip2 compressed kernels. The compressed binaries do not contain the uncompressed image size, so these use size_append to append the size. This results in backslashes in the executed command. With this if_changed always detects a change in the command and rebuilds the compressed image even if nothing has changed. Fix this by escaping backslashes in make-cmd Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer Signed-off-by: Jan Luebbe Cc: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Bernhard Walle Cc: Michal Marek Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-03T07:03:24Z

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

scripts/Kbuild.include: Fix portability problem of "echo -e"

2012-03-24T22:32:05Z

"echo -e" is a GNU extension. When cross-compiling the kernel on a BSD-like operating system (Mac OS X in my case), this doesn't work. One could install a GNU version of echo, put that in the $PATH before the system echo and use "/usr/bin/env echo", but the solution with printf is simpler. Since it is no disadvantage on Linux, I hope that gets accepted even if cross-compiling the Linux kernel on another Unix operating system is quite a rare use case.

kbuild: add `baseprereq'

2011-06-09T18:04:38Z

On the same model as `basetarget', it represents the filename of first prerequisite with directory and extension stripped. Signed-off-by: Arnaud Lacombe

kbuild: make KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1 handle empty built-in.o

2011-05-16T14:39:28Z

Based on a patch by Rabin Vincent. Fix building with KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1, which currently does not work because it does not build built-in.o with no dependencies: LD fs/notify/built-in.o ld: cannot find fs/notify/dnotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find fs/notify/inotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find fs/notify/fanotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory Reported-and-tested-by: Rabin Vincent Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild: Fix passing -Wno-* options to gcc 4.4+

2011-05-03T08:50:54Z

Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno- in the cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in the toplevel Makefile. Reported-and-tested-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild: generate modules.builtin

2009-12-12T12:08:16Z

To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y' or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in obj-Y.
