kbuild: fix ia64 breakage after introducing make -rR

2006-07-01T07:58:02Z

kbuild used $¤(*F to get filename of target without extension. This was used in several places all over kbuild, but introducing make -rR broke his for all cases where we specified full path to target/prerequsite. It is assumed that make -rR disables old style suffix-rules which is why is suddenly failed. ia64 was impacted by this change because several div* routines in arch/ia64/lib are build using explicit paths and then kbuild failed. Thanks to David Mosberger-Tang for an explanation what was the root-cause and for testing on ia64. This patch also fixes two uses of $(*F) in arch/um Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

Revert "kbuild: fix make -rR breakage"

2006-06-26T23:59:26Z

This reverts commit e5c44fd88c146755da6941d047de4d97651404a9. Thanks to Daniel Ritz and Michal Piotrowski for noticing the problem. Daniel says: "[The] reason is a recent change that made modules always shows as module.mod. it breaks modprobe and probably many scripts..besides lsmod looking horrible stuff like this in modprobe.conf: install pcmcia_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcmcia_core; /sbin/modprobe pcmcia makes modprobe fork/exec endlessly calling itself...until oom interrupts it" Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kbuild: fix make -rR breakage

2006-06-24T21:13:59Z

make failed to supply the filename when using make -rR and using $(*F) to get target filename without extension. This bug was not reproduceable in small scale but using: $(basename $(notdir $@)) fixes it with same functionality. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig: fix .config dependencies

2006-06-09T05:31:30Z

This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used to check and regenerate the .config file. This was done via an indirect dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make not to reread the changed .config file. Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from .config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies. It's also the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus replaces include/linux/autoconf.h). This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e. silentoldconfig only writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior

2006-03-05T23:09:51Z

The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make. Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time, even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make. For more details on the incorrect behavior, see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html Changes in this patch: - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY. - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly. - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether targets are up-to-date or not.

kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modules

2006-02-19T08:51:18Z

With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain symbol information from a second external module when a external module is build. The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but that may be impractical in certain cases. With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available for another external module.
