<title>kbuild: change *FLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o to take the path relative to $(obj)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:54b8ae66ae1a3454a7645d159a482c31cd89ab33</id>
<content type='text'>
Kbuild provides per-file compiler flag addition/removal:

  CFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  AFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  AFLAGS_REMOVE_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  CPPFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.lds
  HOSTCFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  HOSTCXXFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o

The &lt;basetarget&gt; is the filename of the target with its directory and
suffix stripped.

This syntax comes into a trouble when two files with the same basename
appear in one Makefile, for example:

  obj-y += foo.o
  obj-y += dir/foo.o
  CFLAGS_foo.o := &lt;some-flags&gt;

Here, the &lt;some-flags&gt; applies to both foo.o and dir/foo.o

The real world problem is:

  scripts/kconfig/util.c
  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/util.c

Both files are compiled into scripts/kconfig/mconf, but only the
latter should be given with the ncurses flags.

It is more sensible to use the relative path to the Makefile, like this:

  obj-y += foo.o
  CFLAGS_foo.o := &lt;some-flags&gt;
  obj-y += dir/foo.o
  CFLAGS_dir/foo.o := &lt;other-flags&gt;

At first, I attempted to replace $(basetarget) with $*. The $* variable
is replaced with the stem ('%') part in a pattern rule. This works with
most of cases, but does not for explicit rules.

For example, arch/ia64/lib/Makefile reuses rule_as_o_S in its own
explicit rules, so $* will be empty, resulting in ignoring the per-file
AFLAGS.

I introduced a new variable, target-stem, which can be used also from
explicit rules.

<title>kbuild: move flex and bison rules to Makefile.host</title>

Flex and bison are used for kconfig, dtc, genksyms, all of which are
host programs. I never imagine the kernel embeds a parser or a lexer.

Move the flex and bison rules to scripts/Makefile.host. This file is
included only when hostprogs-y etc. is present in the Makefile in the
directory. So, parsing these rules are skipped in most of directories.

Commit 25b146c5b8ce ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory")
deprecated KBUILD_SRCTREE.

It is only used in tools/testing/selftest/ to distinguish out-of-tree
build. Replace it with a new boolean flag, building_out_of_srctree.

I also replaced the conditional ($(srctree),.) because the next commit
will allow an absolute path to be used for $(srctree) even when building
in the source tree.

<title>docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst</title>

The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.

Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

<title>kbuild: remove 'addtree' and 'flags' magic for header search paths</title>

<content type='text'>
The 'addtree' and 'flags' in scripts/Kbuild.include are so compilecated
and ugly.

As I mentioned in [1], Kbuild should stop automatic prefixing of header
search path options.

I fixed up (almost) all Makefiles in the kernel. Now 'addtree' and
'flags' have been removed.

Kbuild still caters to add $(srctree)/$(src) and $(objtree)/$(obj)
to the header search path for O= building, but never touches extra
compiler options from ccflags-y etc.

<title>kbuild: use $(srctree) instead of KBUILD_SRC to check out-of-tree build</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9a49c2ad9b9b8ee20668c15ca2b806dbed8ea40</id>
<content type='text'>
KBUILD_SRC was conventionally used for some different purposes:
 [1] To remember the source tree path
 [2] As a flag to check if sub-make is already done
 [3] As a flag to check if Kbuild runs out of tree

For [1], we do not need to remember it because the top Makefile
can compute it by $(realpath $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))

[2] has been replaced with self-commenting 'sub_make_done'.

For [3], we can distinguish in-tree/out-of-tree by comparing
$(srctree) and '.'

This commit converts [3] to prepare for the KBUILD_SRC removal.

When building an external module, $(obj) is the absolute path to it.

The header search paths from ccflags-y etc. should not be tweaked.
