scripts: objdiff: detect object code changes between two commits objdiff is useful when doing large code cleanups. For example, when removing checkpatch warnings and errors from new drivers in the staging tree. objdiff can be used in conjunction with a git rebase to confirm that each commit made no changes to the resulting object code. It has the same return values as diff(1). This was written specifically to support adding the skein and threefish cryto drivers to the staging tree. I needed a programmatic way to confirm that commits changing >90% of the lines didn't inadvertently change the code. Temporary files (objdump output) are stored in /path/to/linux/.tmp_objdiff 'make mrproper' will remove this directory.

scripts: objdiff: improve path flexibility for record command Prior to this commit, scripts/objdiff expected to be run at the top directory and only the relative path of objects. This commit provides more flexibility in terms of object path: [1] scripts/objdiff can be run in any directory For example, $ scripts/objdiff record init/main.o and $ cd init; ../scripts/objdiff record main.o produce the same result. [2] Support absolute path for objects $ scripts/objdiff record /home/foo/bar/linux/init/main.o work as well.

scripts: objdiff: get the path to .tmp_objdiff more simply This commit is a minor refactoring. Temporary files for objdiff are stored in .tmp_objdiff directory which is located at the top directory. To get the path to this directory, SRCTREE=`git rev-parse --show-toplevel` TMPD=$SRCTREE/.tmp_objdiff seems easier to understand than GIT_DIR=`git rev-parse --git-dir` TMPD=${GIT_DIR%git}tmp_objdiff Besides, it is not always necessary to create .tmp_objdiff dicrectory. It should be created only for "record" command. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Acked-by: Jason Cooper <jason@lakedaemon.net> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

scripts: objdiff: Ignore debug info when comparing If the kernel is configured to be built with debug symbols, or has bug tables, comparing files may not work if line numbers change. This makes comparing object files with these options harder to do. Let's strip out the debug info and drop the __bug_table here so that we don't see false positives. There may be other things to drop later, and it may be architecture specific, but this works for me with my ARM64 build.
