kbuild: improve cc-option to clean up all temporary files
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885932 [ Upstream commit f2f02ebd ] When cc-option and friends evaluate compiler flags, the temporary file $$TMP is created as an output object, and automatically cleaned up. The actual file path of $$TMP is .<pid>.tmp, here <pid> is the process ID of $(shell ...) invoked from cc-option. (Please note $$$$ is the escape sequence of $$). Such garbage files are cleaned up in most cases, but some compiler flags create additional output files. For example, -gsplit-dwarf creates a .dwo file. When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y, you will see a bunch of .<pid>.dwo files left in the top of build directories. You may not notice them unless you do 'ls -a', but the garbage files will increase every time you run 'make'. This commit changes the temporary object path to .tmp_<pid>/tmp, and removes .tmp_<pid> directory when exiting. Separate build artifacts such as *.dwo will be cleaned up all together because their file paths are usually determined based on the base name of the object. Another example is -ftest-coverage, which outputs the coverage data into <base-name-of-object>.gcno Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Kelsey Skunberg <kelsey.skunberg@canonical.com>
