To print the pathname that will be used by shell in the current environment, 'command -v' is a standardized way. [1] 'which' is also often used in scripts, but it is less portable. When I worked on commit bd55f96f ("kbuild: refactor cc-cross-prefix implementation"), I was eager to use 'command -v' but it did not work. (The reason is explained below.) I kept 'which' as before but got rid of '> /dev/null 2>&1' as I thought it was no longer needed. Sorry, I was wrong. It works well on my Ubuntu machine, but Alexey Brodkin reports noisy warnings on CentOS7 when 'which' fails to find the given command in the PATH environment. $ which foo which: no foo in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin) Given that behavior of 'which' depends on system (and it may not be installed by default), I want to try 'command -v' once again. The specification [1] clearly describes the behavior of 'command -v' when the given command is not found: Otherwise, no output shall be written and the exit status shall reflect that the name was not found. However, we need a little magic to use 'command -v' from Make. $(shell ...) passes the argument to a subshell for execution, and returns the standard output of the command. Here is a trick. GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special characters are found in the command and omitting the subshell will not change the behavior. In this case, no shell special character is used. So, Make will try to run it directly. However, 'command' is a shell-builtin command, then Make would fail to find it in the PATH environment: $ make ARCH=m68k defconfig make: command: Command not found make: command: Command not found make: command: Command not found In fact, Make has a table of shell-builtin commands because it must ask the shell to execute them. Until recently, 'command' was missing in the table. This issue was fixed by the following commit: | commit 1af314465e5dfe3e8baa839a32a72e83c04f26ef | Author: Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org> | Date: Sun Nov 12 18:10:28 2017 -0500 | | * job.c: Add "command" as a known shell built-in. | | This is not a POSIX shell built-in but it's common in UNIX shells. | Reported by Nick Bowler <nbowler@draconx.ca>. Because the latest release is GNU Make 4.2.1 in 2016, this commit is not included in any released versions. (But some distributions may have back-ported it.) We need to trick Make to spawn a subshell. There are various ways to do so: 1) Use a shell special character '~' as dummy $(shell : ~; command -v $(c)gcc) 2) Use a variable reference that always expands to the empty string (suggested by David Laight) $(shell command$${x:+} -v $(c)gcc) 3) Use redirect $(shell command -v $(c)gcc 2>/dev/null) I chose 3) to not confuse people. The stderr would not be polluted anyway, but it will provide extra safety, and is easy to understand.

The 'addtree' and 'flags' in scripts/Kbuild.include are so compilecated and ugly. As I mentioned in [1], Kbuild should stop automatic prefixing of header search path options. I fixed up (almost) all Makefiles in the kernel. Now 'addtree' and 'flags' have been removed. Kbuild still caters to add $(srctree)/$(src) and $(objtree)/$(obj) to the header search path for O= building, but never touches extra compiler options from ccflags-y etc. [1]: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9632347/Signed-off-by:

There is no more direct user of this macro; it is only used by cc-ifversion. Calling this macro is not efficient since it invokes the compiler to get the compiler version. CONFIG_GCC_VERSION is already calculated in the Kconfig stage, so Makefile can reuse it. Here is a note about the slight difference between cc-version and CONFIG_GCC_VERSION: When using Clang, cc-version is evaluated to '0402' because Clang defines __GNUC__ and __GNUC__MINOR__, and looks like GCC 4.2 in the version point of view. On the other hand, CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=0 when $(CC) is clang. There are currently two users of cc-ifversion: arch/mips/loongson64/Platform arch/powerpc/Makefile They are not affected by this change. The format of cc-version is <major><minor>, while CONFIG_GCC_VERSION <major><minor><patch>. I adjusted cc-ifversion for the difference of the number of digits. Signed-off-by:

- $(word 1, <text>) is equivalent to $(firstword <text>) - hardcode "gcc" instead of $(CC) - minimize the shell script part A little more notes in case $(filter-out -%, ...) is not clear. arch/mips/Makefile passes prefixes depending on the configuration. CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, $(tool-archpref)-linux- \ $(tool-archpref)-linux-gnu- $(tool-archpref)-unknown-linux-gnu-) In the Kconfig stage (e.g. when you run 'make defconfig'), neither CONFIG_32BIT nor CONFIG_64BIT is defined. So, $(tool-archpref) is empty. As a result, "-linux -linux-gnu- -unknown-linux-gnu" is passed into cc-cross-prefix. The command 'which' assumes arguments starting with a hyphen as command options, then emits the following messages: Illegal option -l Illegal option -l Illegal option -u I think it is strange to define CROSS_COMPILE depending on the CONFIG options since you need to feed $(CC) to Kconfig, but it is how MIPS Makefile currently works. Anyway, it would not hurt to filter-out invalid strings beforehand. Signed-off-by:

In Kbuild, if_changed and friends must have FORCE as a prerequisite. Hence, $(filter-out FORCE,$^) or $(filter-out $(PHONY),$^) is a common idiom to get the names of all the prerequisites except phony targets. Add real-prereqs as a shorthand. Note: We cannot replace $(filter %.o,$^) in cmd_link_multi-m because $^ may include auto-generated dependencies from the .*.cmd file when a single object module is changed into a multi object module.

In commit 54a702f7 ("kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and remove .PRECIOUS markers"), I missed one important feature of the .SECONDARY target: .SECONDARY with no prerequisites causes all targets to be treated as secondary. ... which agrees with the policy of Kbuild. Let's move it to scripts/Kbuild.include, with no prerequisites. Note: If an intermediate file is generated by $(call if_changed,...), you still need to add it to "targets" so its .*.cmd file is included. The arm/arm64 crypto files are generated by $(call cmd,shipped), so they do not need to be added to "targets", but need to be added to "clean-files" so "make clean" can properly clean them away.

The 'define' ... 'endef' directive is useful to confine a series of shell commands into a single macro: define foo [action1] [action2] [action3] endif Each action is executed in a separate subshell. However, rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S in scripts/Makefile.build are written as follows (with a trailing semicolon in each cmd_*): define rule_cc_o_c [action1] ; \ [action2] ; \ [action3] ; endef All shell commands are concatenated with '; \' so that it looks like a single command from the Makefile point of view. This does not exploit the benefits of 'define' ... 'endef' form because a single shell command can be more simply written, like this: rule_cc_o_c = \ [action1] ; \ [action2] ; \ [action3] ; I guess the intention for the command concatenation was to let the '@set -e' in if_changed_rule cover all the commands. We can improve the readability by moving '@set -e' to the 'cmd' macro. The combo of $(call echo-cmd,*) $(cmd_*) in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S have been replaced with $(call cmd,*). The trailing back-slashes have been removed. Here is a note about the performance: the commands in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S were previously executed all together in a single subshell, but now each line in a separate subshell. This means Make will spawn extra subshells [1]. I measured the build performance for x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS and I saw slight performance regression, but I believe code readability and maintainability wins. [1] Precisely, GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special characters are found in the command line and omitting the subshell will not change the behavior.

My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include and scripts/Makefile.build. Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick; possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly. I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules. A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will be much faster. Signed-off-by:

Currently, fixdep writes dependencies to .*.tmp, which is renamed to .*.cmd after everything succeeds. This is a very safe way to avoid corrupted .*.cmd files. The if_changed_dep has carried this safety mechanism since it was added in 2002. If fixdep fails for some reasons or a user terminates the build while fixdep is running, the incomplete output from the fixdep could be troublesome. This is my insight about some bad scenarios: [1] If the compiler succeeds to generate *.o file, but fixdep fails to write necessary dependencies to .*.cmd file, Make will miss to rebuild the object when headers or CONFIG options are changed. In this case, fixdep should not generate .*.cmd file at all so that 'arg-check' will surely trigger the rebuild of the object. [2] A partially constructed .*.cmd file may not be a syntactically correct makefile. The next time Make runs, it would include it, then fail to parse it. Once this happens, 'make clean' is be the only way to fix it. In fact, [1] is no longer a problem since commit 9c2af1c7 ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target"). Make deletes a target file on any failure in its recipe. Because fixdep is a part of the recipe of *.o target, if it fails, the *.o is deleted anyway. However, I am a bit worried about the slight possibility of [2]. So, here is a solution. Let fixdep directly write to a .*.cmd file, but allow makefiles to include it only when its corresponding target exists. This effectively reverts commit 2982c953 ("kbuild: remove redundant $(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation"), and commit 00d78ab2 ("kbuild: remove dead code in cmd_files calculation in top Makefile") because now we must check the presence of targets.

kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs in GCC's inlining decisions. Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files. Currently only x86 will use it. Background: The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes, or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ... Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute for "code size and complexity". Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent practice of putting useful information into alternative sections. As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm() blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine instructions. This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm() blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the way when running on baremetal hardware. Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.) This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount related changes have this impact: Makefile | 9 +++++++-- arch/x86/Makefile | 7 +++++++ arch/x86/kernel/macros.S | 7 +++++++ scripts/Kbuild.include | 4 +++- scripts/mod/Makefile | 2 ++ 5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read and maintain ... We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental override of the variable.

If Make gets a fatal signal while a shell is executing, it may delete the target file that the recipe was supposed to update. This is needed to make sure that it is remade from scratch when Make is next run; if Make is interrupted after the recipe has begun to write the target file, it results in an incomplete file whose time stamp is newer than that of the prerequisites files. Make automatically deletes the incomplete file on interrupt unless the target is marked .PRECIOUS. The situation is just the same as when the shell fails for some reasons. Usually when a recipe line fails, if it has changed the target file at all, the file is corrupted, or at least it is not completely updated. Yet the file’s time stamp says that it is now up to date, so the next time Make runs, it will not try to update that file. However, Make does not cater to delete the incomplete target file in this case. We need to add .DELETE_ON_ERROR somewhere in the Makefile to request it. scripts/Kbuild.include seems a suitable place to add it because it is included from almost all sub-makes. Please note .DELETE_ON_ERROR is not effective for phony targets. The external module building should never ever touch the kernel tree. The following recipe fails if include/generated/autoconf.h is missing. However, include/config/auto.conf is not deleted since it is a phony target. PHONY += include/config/auto.conf include/config/auto.conf: $(Q)test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e $@ || ( \ echo >&2; \ echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or $@ are missing.";\ echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ echo >&2 ; \ /bin/false) Signed-off-by:

The comment line for addtree says "skip if -I has no parameter". What it actually does is "drop if -I has no parameter". For example, if you have the compiler flag '-I foo' (a space between), it will be converted to 'foo'. This completely changes the meaning. What we want is, "do nothing" for -I without parameter so that '-I foo' is kept as-is. Signed-off-by:

The kbuild cache was introduced to remember the result of shell commands, some of which are expensive to compute, such as $(call cc-option,...). However, this turned out not so clever as I had first expected. Actually, it is problematic. For example, "$(CC) -print-file-name" is cached. If the compiler is updated, the stale search path causes build error, which is difficult to figure out. Another problem scenario is cache files could be touched while install targets are running under the root permission. We can patch them if desired, but the build infrastructure is getting uglier and uglier. Now, we are going to move compiler flag tests to the configuration phase. If this is completed, the result of compiler tests will be naturally cached in the .config file. We will not have performance issues of incremental building since this testing only happens at Kconfig time. To start this work with a cleaner code base, remove the kbuild cache first. Revert the following commits: Commit 9a234a2e ("kbuild: create directory for make cache only when necessary") Commit e17c400a ("kbuild: shrink .cache.mk when it exceeds 1000 lines") Commit 4e562071 ("kbuild: Cache a few more calls to the compiler") Commit 3298b690 ("kbuild: Add a cache for generated variables") Signed-off-by:

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.

The idea of using fixdep was inspired by Kconfig, but autoksyms belongs to a different group. So, I want to move those touched files under include/config/ksym/ to include/ksym/. The directory include/ksym/ can be removed by 'make clean' because it is meaningless for the external module building. Signed-off-by:

Currently, linker options are tested by the coordination of $(CC) and $(LD) because $(LD) needs some object to link. As commit 86a9df59 ("kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when cross compiling with Clang") addressed, we need to make sure $(CC) and $(LD) agree the underlying architecture of the passed object. This could be a bit complex when we combine tools from different groups. For example, we can use clang for $(CC), but we still need to rely on GCC toolchain for $(LD). So, I was searching for a way of standalone testing of linker options. A trick I found is to use '-v'; this not only prints the version string, but also tests if the given option is recognized. If a given option is supported, $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU ld (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11) 2.28.2.20170706 $ echo $? 0 If unsupported, $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU ld (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.7-2013.04-20130415 - Linaro GCC 2013.04) 2.23.1 aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: unrecognized option '--fix-cortex-a53-843419' aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: use the --help option for usage information $ echo $? 1 Gold works likewise. $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14 masahiro@pug:~/ref/linux$ echo $? 0 $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-999999 GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14 aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold: --fix-cortex-a53-999999: unknown option aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold: use the --help option for usage information $ echo $? 1 LLD too. $ ld.lld -v --gc-sections LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 0 $ ld.lld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 0 $ ld.lld -v --fix-cortex-a53-999999 ld.lld: error: unknown argument: --fix-cortex-a53-999999 LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 1 Signed-off-by:

* Use BREs where EREs aren't necessary. * Pass -E instead of -r to use EREs. This will be standardized in the next POSIX revision[0]. GNU sed supports this since 4.2 (May 2009), and busybox since 1.22.0 (Jan 2014). * Use the [:space:] character class instead of ` \t` in bracket expressions. In bracket expressions, POSIX says that <backslash> loses its special meaning, so a conforming implementation cannot expand \t to <tab>[1]. * In BREs, use interval expressions (\{n,m\}) instead of non-standard features like \+ and \?. * Use a loop instead of -s flag. There are still plenty of other cases of non-standard sed invocations (use of ERE features in BREs, in-place editing), but this fixes some core ones.

Currently, the existence of $(dir $(make-cache)) is always checked, and created if it is missing. We can avoid unnecessary system calls by some tricks. [1] If KBUILD_SRC is unset, we are building in the source tree. The output directory checks can be entirely skipped. [2] If at least one cache data is found, it means the cache file was included. Obviously its directory exists. Skip "mkdir -p". [3] If Makefile does not contain any call of __run-and-store, it will not create a cache file. No need to create its directory. [4] The "mkdir -p" should be only invoked by the first call of __run-and-store Signed-off-by:

I was not seeing my linker flags getting added when using ld-option when cross compiling with Clang. Upon investigation, this seems to be due to a difference in how GCC vs Clang handle cross compilation. GCC is configured at build time to support one backend, that is implicit when compiling. Clang is explicit via the use of `-target <triple>` and ships with all supported backends by default. GNU Make feature test macros that compile then link will always fail when cross compiling with Clang unless Clang's triple is passed along to the compiler. For example: $ clang -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: unknown architecture of input file `temp.o' is incompatible with aarch64 output aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000400078 $ echo $? 1 $ clang -target aarch64-linux-android- -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00000000004002e4 $ echo $? 0 This causes conditional checks that invoke $(CC) without the target triple, then $(LD) on the result, to always fail.

The cache files are only cleaned away by "make clean". If you continue incremental builds, the cache files will grow up little by little. It is not a big deal in general use cases because compiler flags do not change quite often. However, if you do build-test for various architectures, compilers, and kernel configurations, you will end up with huge cache files soon. When the cache file exceeds 1000 lines, shrink it down to 500 by "tail". The Least Recently Added lines are cut. (not Least Recently Used) I hope it will work well enough. Signed-off-by:

While timing a "no-op" build of the kernel (incrementally building the kernel even though nothing changed) in the Chrome OS build system I found that it was much slower than I expected. Digging into things a bit, I found that quite a bit of the time was spent invoking the C compiler even though we weren't actually building anything. Currently in the Chrome OS build system the C compiler is called through a number of wrappers (one of which is written in python!) and can take upwards of 100 ms to invoke even if we're not doing anything difficult, so these invocations of the compiler were taking a lot of time. Worse the invocations couldn't seem to take advantage of the multiple cores on my system. Certainly it seems like we could make the compiler invocations in the Chrome OS build system faster, but only to a point. Inherently invoking a program as big as a C compiler is a fairly heavy operation. Thus even if we can speed the compiler calls it made sense to track down what was happening. It turned out that all the compiler invocations were coming from usages like this in the kernel's Makefile: KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks,) Due to the way cc-option and similar statements work the above contains an implicit call to the C compiler. ...and due to the fact that we're storing the result in KBUILD_CFLAGS, a simply expanded variable, the call will happen every time the Makefile is parsed, even if there are no users of KBUILD_CFLAGS. Rather than redoing this computation every time, it makes a lot of sense to cache the result of all of the Makefile's compiler calls just like we do when we compile a ".c" file to a ".o" file. Conceptually this is quite a simple idea. ...and since the calls to invoke the compiler and similar tools are centrally located in the Kbuild.include file this doesn't even need to be super invasive. Implementing the cache in a simple-to-use and efficient way is not quite as simple as it first sounds, though. To get maximum speed we really want the cache in a format that make can natively understand and make doesn't really have an ability to load/parse files. ...but make _can_ import other Makefiles, so the solution is to store the cache in Makefile format. This requires coming up with a valid/unique Makefile variable name for each value to be cached, but that's solvable with some cleverness. After this change, we'll automatically create a ".cache.mk" file that will contain our cached variables. We'll load this on each invocation of make and will avoid recomputing anything that's already in our cache. The cache is stored in a format that it shouldn't need any invalidation since anything that might change should affect the "key" and any old cached value won't be used. Signed-off-by:
