.gitignore: prefix local generated files with a slash

2021-05-01T15:43:35Z

The pattern prefixed with '/' matches files in the same directory, but not ones in sub-directories. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Miguel Ojeda Acked-by: Rob Herring Acked-by: Andra Paraschiv Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Acked-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

kbuild: redo fake deps at include/config/*.h

2021-04-24T20:26:10Z

Make include/config/foo/bar.h fake deps files generation simpler. * delete .h suffix those aren't header files, shorten filenames, * delete tolower() Linux filesystems can deal with both upper and lowercase filenames very well, * put everything in 1 directory Presumably 'mkdir -p' split is from dark times when filesystems handled huge directories badly, disks were round adding to seek times. x86_64 allmodconfig lists 12364 files in include/config. ../obj/include/config/ ├── 104_QUAD_8 ├── 60XX_WDT ├── 64BIT ... ├── ZSWAP_DEFAULT_ON ├── ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT └── ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT_ZBUD 0 directories, 12364 files Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-y

2020-08-09T16:32:59Z

To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs' to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them because there is no dependency. There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile). The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'. This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand. The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast, programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y' so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles. userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

modpost,fixdep: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-25T15:03:16Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Merge tag 'spdx-5.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/spdx

2020-04-03T20:12:26Z

Pull SPDX updates from Greg KH: "Here are three SPDX patches for 5.7-rc1. One fixes up the SPDX tag for a single driver, while the other two go through the tree and add SPDX tags for all of the .gitignore files as needed. Nothing too complex, but you will get a merge conflict with your current tree, that should be trivial to handle (one file modified by two things, one file deleted.) All three of these have been in linux-next for a while, with no reported issues other than the merge conflict" * tag 'spdx-5.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/spdx: ASoC: MT6660: make spdxcheck.py happy .gitignore: add SPDX License Identifier .gitignore: remove too obvious comments

fixdep: remove redundant null character check

2020-03-02T12:18:19Z

If *q is '\0', the condition (isalnum(*q) || *q == '_') is false anyway. It is redundant to ensure non-zero *q. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

fixdep: remove unneeded code and comments about *.ver files

2020-03-02T12:18:19Z

This is probably stale code. In old days (~ Linux 2.5.59), Kbuild made genksyms generate include/linux/modules/*.ver files. The currenct Kbuild does not generate *.ver files at all. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

2020-02-03T16:53:07Z

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004. It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration. This commit renames like follows: always -> always-y hostprogs-y -> hostprogs So, scripts/Makefile will look like this: always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ... always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ... ... hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m) I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier. The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward compatibility for a while.

kbuild: remove unneeded comments and code from scripts/basic/Makefile

Kbuild descends into scripts/basic/ even before the Kconfig. I do not expect any other host programs added to this Makefile. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
