a module. Fix it.

All objects in $(obj-m) are contained in $(real-obj-m) as well.

It is true composite objects are only contained in $(obj-m),
but [M] is hard-coded in quiet_cmd_link_multi-m.

This line is redundant.

<title>kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include</title>

In commit 54a702f70589 ("kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and
remove .PRECIOUS markers"), I missed one important feature of the
.SECONDARY target:

    .SECONDARY with no prerequisites causes all targets to be
    treated as secondary.

... which agrees with the policy of Kbuild.

Let's move it to scripts/Kbuild.include, with no prerequisites.

Note:
If an intermediate file is generated by $(call if_changed,...), you
still need to add it to "targets" so its .*.cmd file is included.

The arm/arm64 crypto files are generated by $(call cmd,shipped),
so they do not need to be added to "targets", but need to be added
to "clean-files" so "make clean" can properly clean them away.

These three cmd_* are invoked in the $(call cmd,*) form.

Now that 'set -e' moved to the 'cmd' macro, they do not need to
explicitly give 'set -e'.

With the change of rule_cc_o_c / rule_as_o_S in the last commit, each
command is executed in a separate subshell. Rip off unneeded semicolons.

<title>kbuild: change if_changed_rule for multi-line recipe</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3a2429e1faf40b2aaa481aa4b001a74d222c7e8b</id>

The 'define' ... 'endef' directive is useful to confine a series of
shell commands into a single macro:

  define foo
          [action1]
          [action2]
          [action3]
  endif

Each action is executed in a separate subshell.

However, rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S in scripts/Makefile.build are
written as follows (with a trailing semicolon in each cmd_*):

  define rule_cc_o_c
          [action1] ; \
          [action2] ; \
          [action3] ;
  endef

All shell commands are concatenated with '; \' so that it looks like
a single command from the Makefile point of view. This does not
exploit the benefits of 'define' ... 'endef' form because a single
shell command can be more simply written, like this:

  rule_cc_o_c = \
          [action1] ; \
          [action2] ; \
          [action3] ;

I guess the intention for the command concatenation was to let the
'@set -e' in if_changed_rule cover all the commands.

We can improve the readability by moving '@set -e' to the 'cmd' macro.
The combo of $(call echo-cmd,*) $(cmd_*) in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S
have been replaced with $(call cmd,*). The trailing back-slashes have
been removed.

Here is a note about the performance: the commands in rule_cc_o_c and
rule_as_o_S were previously executed all together in a single subshell,
but now each line in a separate subshell. This means Make will spawn
extra subshells [1]. I measured the build performance for
  x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
and I saw slight performance regression, but I believe code readability
and maintainability wins.

[1] Precisely, GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command
    directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special
    characters are found in the command line and omitting the subshell
    will not change the behavior.

<title>kbuild: simplify dependency generation for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bbda5ec671d3fe62faefa1cab7270aa586042a4b</id>
<content type='text'>
My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include
and scripts/Makefile.build.

Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick;
possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace
EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is
post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing
is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly.

I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy
symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those
dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then
appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a
new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy
symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker
script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules.

A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will
be much faster.
