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





















kbuild: rpm-pkg: generate kernel.spec in rpmbuild/SPECS/ kernel.spec is the last piece that resides outside the rpmbuild/ directory. Move all the RPM-related files to rpmbuild/ consistently.

fortify: refactor test_fortify Makefile to fix some build problems There are some issues in the test_fortify Makefile code. Problem 1: cc-disable-warning invokes compiler dozens of times To see how many times the cc-disable-warning is evaluated, change this code: $(call cc-disable-warning,fortify-source) to: $(call cc-disable-warning,$(shell touch /tmp/fortify-$$$$)fortify-source) Then, build the kernel with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y. You will see a large number of '/tmp/fortify-<PID>' files created: $ ls -1 /tmp/fortify-* \| wc 80 80 1600 This means the compiler was invoked 80 times just for checking the -Wno-fortify-source flag support. $(call cc-disable-warning,fortify-source) should be added to a simple variable instead of a recursive variable. Problem 2: do not recompile string.o when the test code is updated The test cases are independent of the kernel. However, when the test code is updated, $(obj)/string.o is rebuilt and vmlinux is relinked due to this dependency: $(obj)/string.o: $(obj)/$(TEST_FORTIFY_LOG) always-y is suitable for building the log files. Problem 3: redundant code clean-files += $(addsuffix .o, $(TEST_FORTIFY_LOGS)) ... is unneeded because the top Makefile globally cleans *.o files. This commit fixes these issues and makes the code readable.
