kbuild: Add KBUILD_CPPFLAGS to as-option invocation

2025-08-28T14:21:33Z

commit 43fc0a99906e04792786edf8534d8d58d1e9de0c upstream. After commit feb843a469fb ("kbuild: add $(CLANG_FLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS"), there is an error while building certain PowerPC assembly files with clang: arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S: Assembler messages: arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:34: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01000' arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:35: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01010' arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:37: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01000' arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:38: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01010' arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:40: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01010' clang: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) as-option only uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, so after removing CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_AFLAGS, there is no more '--target=' or '--prefix=' flags. As a result of those missing flags, the host target will be tested during as-option calls and likely fail, meaning necessary flags may not get added when building assembly files, resulting in errors like seen above. Add KBUILD_CPPFLAGS to as-option invocations to clear up the errors. This should have been done in commit d5c8d6e0fa61 ("kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper flags and language target"), which switched from using the assembler target to the assembler-with-cpp target, so flags that affect preprocessing are passed along in all relevant tests. as-option now mirrors cc-option.

kbuild: Add CLANG_FLAGS to as-instr

2025-08-28T14:21:33Z

commit cff6e7f50bd315e5b39c4e46c704ac587ceb965f upstream. A future change will move CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS so that '--target' is available while preprocessing. When that occurs, the following errors appear multiple times when building ARCH=powerpc powernv_defconfig: ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o):(.text+0x12d4): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI out of range: -4611686018409717520 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]; references '__start___soft_mask_table' ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o):(.text+0x12e8): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI out of range: -4611686018409717392 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]; references '__stop___soft_mask_table' Diffing the .o.cmd files reveals that -DHAVE_AS_ATHIGH=1 is not present anymore, because as-instr only uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, which will no longer contain '--target'. Mirror Kconfig's as-instr and add CLANG_FLAGS explicitly to the invocation to ensure the target information is always present.

kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper flags and language target

2025-08-28T14:21:33Z

commit d5c8d6e0fa61401a729e9eb6a9c7077b2d3aebb0 upstream. as-instr uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, but as-option uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. This can cause as-option to fail unexpectedly when CONFIG_WERROR is set, because clang will emit -Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument for various -m and -f flags in KBUILD_CFLAGS for assembler sources. Callers of as-option and as-instr should be adding flags to KBUILD_AFLAGS / aflags-y, not KBUILD_CFLAGS / cflags-y. Use KBUILD_AFLAGS in all macros to clear up the initial problem. Unfortunately, -Wunused-command-line-argument can still be triggered with clang by the presence of warning flags or macro definitions because '-x assembler' is used, instead of '-x assembler-with-cpp', which will consume these flags. Switch to '-x assembler-with-cpp' in places where '-x assembler' is used, as the compiler is always used as the driver for out of line assembler sources in the kernel. Finally, add -Werror to these macros so that they behave consistently whether or not CONFIG_WERROR is set.

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

2025-07-17T16:24:51Z

[ Upstream commit 30a7729771731971839cc969d2a321e6ea7a144b ] 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 Stable-dep-of: 02e9a22ceef0 ("kbuild: hdrcheck: fix cross build with clang") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kbuild: remove the target in signal traps when interrupted

2022-10-26T11:22:46Z

[ Upstream commit a7f3257da8a86b96fb9bf1bba40ae0bbd7f1885a ] When receiving some signal, GNU Make automatically deletes the target if it has already been changed by the interrupted recipe. If the target is possibly incomplete due to interruption, it must be deleted so that it will be remade from scratch on the next run of make. Otherwise, the target would remain corrupted permanently because its timestamp had already been updated. Thanks to this behavior of Make, you can stop the build any time by pressing Ctrl-C, and just run 'make' to resume it. Kbuild also relies on this feature, but it is equivalently important for any build systems that make decisions based on timestamps (if you want to support Ctrl-C reliably). However, this does not always work as claimed; Make immediately dies with Ctrl-C if its stderr goes into a pipe. [Test Makefile] foo: echo hello > $@ sleep 3 echo world >> $@ [Test Result] $ make # hit Ctrl-C echo hello > foo sleep 3 ^Cmake: *** Deleting file 'foo' make: *** [Makefile:3: foo] Interrupt $ make 2>&1 | cat # hit Ctrl-C echo hello > foo sleep 3 ^C$ # 'foo' is often left-over The reason is because SIGINT is sent to the entire process group. In this example, SIGINT kills 'cat', and 'make' writes the message to the closed pipe, then dies with SIGPIPE before cleaning the target. A typical bad scenario (as reported by [1], [2]) is to save build log by using the 'tee' command: $ make 2>&1 | tee log This can be problematic for any build systems based on Make, so I hope it will be fixed in GNU Make. The maintainer of GNU Make stated this is a long-standing issue and difficult to fix [3]. It has not been fixed yet as of writing. So, we cannot rely on Make cleaning the target. We can do it by ourselves, in signal traps. As far as I understand, Make takes care of SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SITERM for the target removal. I added the traps for them, and also for SIGPIPE just in case cmd_* rule prints something to stdout or stderr (but I did not observe an actual case where SIGPIPE was triggered). [Note 1] The trap handler might be worth explaining. rm -f $@; trap - $(sig); kill -s $(sig) $$ This lets the shell kill itself by the signal it caught, so the parent process can tell the child has exited on the signal. Generally, this is a proper manner for handling signals, in case the calling program (like Bash) may monitor WIFSIGNALED() and WTERMSIG() for WCE although this may not be a big deal here because GNU Make handles SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT in WUE and SIGTERM in IUE. IUE - Immediate Unconditional Exit WUE - Wait and Unconditional Exit WCE - Wait and Cooperative Exit For details, see "Proper handling of SIGINT/SIGQUIT" [4]. [Note 2] Reverting 392885ee82d3 ("kbuild: let fixdep directly write to .*.cmd files") would directly address [1], but it only saves if_changed_dep. As reported in [2], all commands that use redirection can potentially leave an empty (i.e. broken) target. [Note 3] Another (even safer) approach might be to always write to a temporary file, and rename it to $@ at the end of the recipe. > $(tmp-target) mv $(tmp-target) $@ It would require a lot of Makefile changes, and result in ugly code, so I did not take it. [Note 4] A little more thoughts about a pattern rule with multiple targets (or a grouped target). %.x %.y: %.z When interrupted, GNU Make deletes both %.x and %.y, while this solution only deletes $@. Probably, this is not a big deal. The next run of make will execute the rule again to create $@ along with the other files.

kbuild: sink stdout from cmd for silent build

2021-07-25T12:35:11Z

[ Upstream commit 174a1dcc96429efce4ef7eb2f5c4506480da2182 ] When building with 'make -s', no output to stdout should be printed. As Arnd Bergmann reported [1], mkimage shows the detailed information of the generated images. I think this should be suppressed by the 'cmd' macro instead of by individual scripts. Insert 'exec >/dev/null;' in order to redirect stdout to /dev/null for silent builds. [Note about this implementation] 'exec >/dev/null;' may look somewhat tricky, but this has a reason. Appending '>/dev/null' at the end of command line is a common way for redirection, so I first tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) $(cmd_$(1)) >/dev/null ... but it would not work if $(cmd_$(1)) itself contains a redirection. For example, cmd_wrap in scripts/Makefile.asm-generic redirects the output from the 'echo' command into the target file. It would be expanded into: echo "#include " > $@ >/dev/null Then, the target file gets empty because the string will go to /dev/null instead of $@. Next, I tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) { $(cmd_$(1)); } >/dev/null The form above would be expanded into: { echo "#include " > $@; } >/dev/null This works as expected. However, it would be a syntax error if $(cmd_$(1)) is empty. When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is disabled, $(call cmd,gen_ksymdeps) in scripts/Makefile.build would be expanded into: set -e; { ; } >/dev/null ..., which causes an syntax error. I also tried this: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) ( $(cmd_$(1)) ) >/dev/null ... but this causes a syntax error for the same reason. So, finally I adopted: cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) exec >/dev/null; $(cmd_$(1)) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210514135752.2910387-1-arnd@kernel.org/ Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kbuild: improve cc-option to clean up all temporary files

2020-06-30T19:37:05Z

[ Upstream commit f2f02ebd8f3833626642688b2d2c6a7b3c141fa9 ] When cc-option and friends evaluate compiler flags, the temporary file $$TMP is created as an output object, and automatically cleaned up. The actual file path of $$TMP is ..tmp, here is the process ID of $(shell ...) invoked from cc-option. (Please note $$$$ is the escape sequence of $$). Such garbage files are cleaned up in most cases, but some compiler flags create additional output files. For example, -gsplit-dwarf creates a .dwo file. When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y, you will see a bunch of ..dwo files left in the top of build directories. You may not notice them unless you do 'ls -a', but the garbage files will increase every time you run 'make'. This commit changes the temporary object path to .tmp_/tmp, and removes .tmp_ directory when exiting. Separate build artifacts such as *.dwo will be cleaned up all together because their file paths are usually determined based on the base name of the object. Another example is -ftest-coverage, which outputs the coverage data into .gcno Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kbuild: remove *.tmp file when filechk fails

2020-02-24T07:36:49Z

For example, if GTK+ is not installed: $ make gconfig * * Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that * the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed. * You need gtk+-2.0 gmodule-2.0 libglade-2.0 * scripts/kconfig/Makefile:208: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/gconf-cfg' failed make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/gconf-cfg] Error 1 Makefile:567: recipe for target 'gconfig' failed make: *** [gconfig] Error 2 $ git status HEAD detached at v5.4 Untracked files: (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed) scripts/kconfig/gconf-cfg.tmp nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) This is because the check scripts are run with filechk, which misses to clean up the temporary file on failure. When the line { $(filechk_$(1)); } > $@.tmp; ... fails, it exits immediately due to the 'set -e'. Use trap to make sure to delete the temporary file on exit. For extra safety, I replaced $@.tmp with $(dot-target).tmp to make it a hidden file. Reported-by: Bartosz Golaszewski Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kbuild: remove ar-option and KBUILD_ARFLAGS
