kbuild: add a script to remove stale generated files We maintain .gitignore and Makefiles so build artifacts are properly ignored by Git, and cleaned up by 'make clean'. However, the code is always changing; generated files are often moved to another directory, or removed when they become unnecessary. Such garbage files tend to be left over in the source tree because people usually git-pull without cleaning the tree. This is not only the noise for 'git status', but also a build issue in some cases. One solution is to remove a stale file like commit 223c24a7dba9 ("kbuild: Automatically remove stale <linux/version.h> file") did. Such workaround should be removed after a while, but we forget about that if we scatter the workaround code in random places. So, this commit adds a new script to collect cleanings of stale files. As a start point, move the code in arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile into this script. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> 2021-04-25 16:07:12 +09:00

























ARM: 9154/1: decompressor: do not copy source files while building As commit 7ae4a78daacf ("ARM: 8969/1: decompressor: simplify libfdt builds") stated, copying source files during the build time may not end up with as clean code as expected. Do similar for the other library files for further cleanups of the Makefile and .gitignore.
