kbuild: asm-generic support

2011-04-28T16:01:41Z

There is an increasing amount of header files shared between individual architectures in asm-generic. To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide some basic support in kbuild for this. With the following patch an architecture can maintain a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild To use a generic file just add: generic-y += For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm. When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created. The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32 patchset - although a different method is used. The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann. Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic. Remis Baima did an intial implementation along to achive the same - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13352/ Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Acked-by: Guan Xuetao Tested-by: Guan Xuetao Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Remis Lima Baima Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild: fix "Argument list too long" error for "make headers_check",

I'm trying to install kernel headers to build a cross-toolchain, but got the following: make ARCH=arm INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/work/psl/eldk-builds/arm-2009-04-21/work/var/tmp/crosstool-0.43-3-root/usr/crosstool/gcc-4.2.2-glibc-20070515T2025-eldk/ +arm-linux-gnueabi/arm-linux-gnueabi/ headers_check ...

kbuild: introduce destination-y for exported headers

2009-04-11T06:18:08Z

xtensa and arm have asked for a possibility to export headers and locate them in a specific directory when exported. Introduce destiantion-y to support this. This patch in additiona adds some limited documentation for the variables used for exported headers. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Oskar Schirmer Cc: Mikael Starvik

kbuild: install all headers when arch is changed

2008-07-25T20:12:18Z

We see some header files that are selected dependent on the actual architecture so force a reinstallation of all header files when the arch changes. This slows down "make headers_check_all" but then we better reflect reality. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: optimize headers_* targets

2008-07-25T20:12:16Z

Move the core functionality of headers_install and headers_check to two small perl scripts. The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and changed to operate on all files in a directory. So if one file is changed then all files in the directory is processed. perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this is pure text processing which perl is good at and especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to see changes / new checks implmented. The speed is ~300% faster on this box. And the output generated to the screen is now down to two lines per directory (one for install, one for check) so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build. The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient feedback from: Vegard Nossum Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: only one call for include/ in make headers_*

2008-07-25T20:11:44Z

Move it to the top-level file to decide if we install/check the generic headers or the arch specific headers. This revealed a long standing bug where "make headers_check_all" relied on the files in asm/ for the current architecture. So make headers_check_all is now broken by this commit. In addition: o add a simpler way to detect if an arch support exporting header files. o add 'set -e;' so we error out early if make headers_check_all fails. o add sparc64 and cris to arch we do not process in make headers_*_all because: sparc64 - use sparc to export headers cris - is know seriously broken Includes suggestions from: David Woodhouse .

kbuild: drop support of ALTARCH for headers_*

2008-07-25T20:08:39Z

ALTARCH is no longer used by any arch(*) so drop support for this from Makefile.headerinst Dropping ALTARCH support simplifies Makefile.headerinst (*) sparc64 uses it but work is ongoing to drop it and no furter usage is planned. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: David Woodhouse Cc: David Miller

kbuild: always unifdef files in headers_install*

2008-07-25T20:08:38Z

unifdef utility is fast enough to warrant that we always run the scripts through unifdef. This patch runs all headers listed with header-y and unifdef-y through unifdef. Next step is to drop unifdef-y in all Kbuild files and that can now be done in smaller steps. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: David Woodhouse Cc: Adrian Bunk
