Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

2019-12-03T01:35:04Z

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada: - remove unneeded asm headers from hexagon, ia64 - add 'dir-pkg' target, which works like 'tar-pkg' but skips archiving - add 'helpnewconfig' target, which shows help for new CONFIG options - support 'make nsdeps' for external modules - make rebuilds faster by deleting $(wildcard $^) checks - remove compile tests for kernel-space headers - refactor modpost to simplify modversion handling - make single target builds faster - optimize and clean up scripts/kallsyms.c - refactor various Makefiles and scripts * tag 'kbuild-v5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (59 commits) MAINTAINERS: update Kbuild/Kconfig maintainer's email address scripts/kallsyms: remove redundant initializers scripts/kallsyms: put check_symbol_range() calls close together scripts/kallsyms: make check_symbol_range() void function scripts/kallsyms: move ignored symbol types to is_ignored_symbol() scripts/kallsyms: move more patterns to the ignored_prefixes array scripts/kallsyms: skip ignored symbols very early scripts/kallsyms: add const qualifiers where possible scripts/kallsyms: make find_token() return (unsigned char *) scripts/kallsyms: replace prefix_underscores_count() with strspn() scripts/kallsyms: add sym_name() to mitigate cast ugliness scripts/kallsyms: remove unneeded length check for prefix matching scripts/kallsyms: remove redundant is_arm_mapping_symbol() scripts/kallsyms: set relative_base more effectively scripts/kallsyms: shrink table before sorting it scripts/kallsyms: fix definitely-lost memory leak scripts/kallsyms: remove unneeded #ifndef ARRAY_SIZE kbuild: make single target builds even faster modpost: respect the previous export when 'exported twice' is warned modpost: do not set ->preloaded for symbols from Module.symvers ...

kbuild: make single target builds even faster

2019-11-23T06:46:42Z

Commit 2dffd23f81a3 ("kbuild: make single target builds much faster") made the situation much better. To improve it even more, apply the similar idea to the top Makefile. Trim unrelated directories from build-dirs. The single build code must be moved above the 'descend' target. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Tested-by: Jens Axboe

kbuild: move headers_check rule to usr/include/Makefile

2019-11-14T15:23:10Z

Currently, some sanity checks for uapi headers are done by scripts/headers_check.pl, which is wired up to the 'headers_check' target in the top Makefile. It is true compiling headers has better test coverage, but there are still several headers excluded from the compile test. I like to keep headers_check.pl for a while, but we can delete a lot of code by moving the build rule to usr/include/Makefile. 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: tell sparse about the $ARCH

2019-11-14T15:13:23Z

Sparse uses the same executable for all archs and uses flags like -m64, -mbig-endian or -D__arm__ for arch-specific parameters. But Sparse also uses value from the host machine used to build Sparse as default value for the target machine. This works, of course, well for native build but can create problems when cross-compiling, like defining both '__i386__' and '__arm__' when cross-compiling for arm on a x86-64 machine. Fix this by explicitely telling sparse the target architecture. Reported-by: Ben Dooks Signed-off-by: Luc Van Oostenryck Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

scripts/nsdeps: support nsdeps for external module builds

2019-11-11T11:10:01Z

scripts/nsdeps is written to take care of only in-tree modules. Perhaps, this is not a bug, but just a design. At least, Documentation/core-api/symbol-namespaces.rst focuses on in-tree modules. Having said that, some people already tried nsdeps for external modules. So, it would be nice to support it.
