Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make

2018-04-10T15:03:02Z

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but already the objtool build broke with orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’: orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &nr_sections)) { Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and -DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS. Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file: * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility! Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes: thus a call such as: foo := $(shell echo '#') is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example: foo := $(shell echo '\#') Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable: C := \# foo := $(shell echo '$C') This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason. To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable. This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound) rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the new make.

tools build: Move tabs to spaces where suitable

2016-12-05T19:06:03Z

We've been hit several times by a Makefile bug where line indented by tab was falsely considered as target command. We prevent this by always using space indentation for everything except for the target commands.

tools build: Make the .cmd file more readable

2016-12-05T19:04:08Z

Putting extra line between dependencies and cmd_* definition to make it more readable. Before: $ cat .builtin-top.o.cmd ... /home/jolsa/kernel/linux-perf/tools/include/linux/stringify.h \ /home/jolsa/kernel/linux-perf/tools/include/linux/time64.h cmd_builtin-top.o := gcc -Wp,-MD,./.builtin-top.o.d -Wp,-MT,builtin-... ...

tools build: Fix objtool build with clang

2016-12-05T18:51:42Z

Clang doesn't support multiple arguments being passed to -Wp, so split them.

tools build: Add CFLAGS_REMOVE_* support

2016-11-14T14:37:25Z

Adding support to remove options from final CFLAGS for both object file and build target. It's now possible to remove CFLAGS options like: CFLAGS_REMOVE_krava.o += -Wstrict-prototypes Committer notes: This comes from the kernel's kbuild infrastructure, the subset that is supported in tools/ is being documented at tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt.

tools build: Support compiling C++ source file

2016-10-05T22:58:51Z

Add new rule to compile .cpp file to .o use g++. C++ support is required for built-in clang and LLVM support. Linker side support will be introduced by following commits.

tools build: Add support for host programs format

2016-10-03T14:39:09Z

In some cases, like for fixdep and shortly for jevents, we need to build a tool to run on the host that will be used in building a tool, such as perf, that is being cross compiled, so do like the kernel and provide HOSTCC, HOSTLD and HOSTAR to do that.

tools build: Make the fixdep helper part of the build process

2015-09-28T18:50:55Z

Making the fixdep helper to be invoked within dep-cmd. Each user of the build framework needs to make sure fixdep exists before executing the build itself. If the build doesn't find fixdep, it falls back to the old style dependency tracking.

tools build: Add new build support

2015-02-11T21:30:03Z

Adding new build framework into 'tools/build' to be used by tools. There's no change for actual building at this point, it comes in the next patches. The idea and more details are explained in the 'tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt' file. I adopted everything from the kernel build system, with some changes to allow for multiple binaries build definitions. While the kernel's build output is single image (forget modules) we need to be able to build several binaries/libraries. The basic idea is that sser provides 'Build' files with objects definitions like: perf-y += a.o perf-y += b.o libperf-y += c.o libperf-y += d.o and the build framework outputs files: perf-in.o # a.o, b.o compiled in libperf-in.o # c.o, d.o compiled in Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Tested-by: Will Deacon Cc: Alexis Berlemont Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-fbj22h4av0otlxupwcmrxgpa@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
