if_changed, if_changed_dep, and if_changed_rule must have FORCE as a
prerequisite so the command line change is detected.
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst clearly explains it:
Note: It is a typical mistake to forget the FORCE prerequisite.
However, not all people follow the document.
This mistake occurred again and again, so a compelling force is needed.
Show a warning if FORCE is missing in the prerequisite of if_changed
and friends. Same for filechk.

When building with 'make -s', no output to stdout should be printed.
As Arnd Bergmann reported [1], mkimage shows the detailed information
of the generated images.
I think this should be suppressed by the 'cmd' macro instead of by
individual scripts.
Insert 'exec >/dev/null;' in order to redirect stdout to /dev/null for
silent builds.
[Note about this implementation]
'exec >/dev/null;' may look somewhat tricky, but this has a reason.
Appending '>/dev/null' at the end of command line is a common way for
redirection, so I first tried this:
cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) $(cmd_$(1)) >/dev/null
... but it would not work if $(cmd_$(1)) itself contains a redirection.
For example, cmd_wrap in scripts/Makefile.asm-generic redirects the
output from the 'echo' command into the target file.
It would be expanded into:
echo "#include <asm-generic/$*.h>" > $@ >/dev/null
Then, the target file gets empty because the string will go to /dev/null
instead of $@.
Next, I tried this:
cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) { $(cmd_$(1)); } >/dev/null
The form above would be expanded into:
{ echo "#include <asm-generic/$*.h>" > $@; } >/dev/null
This works as expected. However, it would be a syntax error if
$(cmd_$(1)) is empty.
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is disabled, $(call cmd,gen_ksymdeps) in
scripts/Makefile.build would be expanded into:
set -e; { ; } >/dev/null
..., which causes an syntax error.
I also tried this:
cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) ( $(cmd_$(1)) ) >/dev/null
... but this causes a syntax error for the same reason.
So, finally I adopted:
cmd = @set -e; $(echo-cmd) exec >/dev/null; $(cmd_$(1))

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

This omits system headers from the generated header dependency.
System headers are not updated unless you upgrade the compiler. Nor do
they contain CONFIG options, so fixdep does not need to parse them.
Having said that, the effect of this optimization will be quite small
because the kernel code generally does not include system headers
except <stdarg.h>. Host programs include a lot of system headers,
but there are not so many in the kernel tree.
At first, keeping system headers in .*.cmd files might be useful to
detect the compiler update, but there is no guarantee that <stdarg.h>
is included from every file. So, I implemented a more reliable way in
the previous commit.

Commit bc081dd6e9 ("kbuild: generate modules.builtin") added
infrastructure to generate modules.builtin, the list of all
builtin modules.
Basically, it works like this:
- Kconfig generates include/config/tristate.conf, the list of
tristate CONFIG options with a value in a capital letter.
- scripts/Makefile.modbuiltin makes Kbuild descend into
directories to collect the information of builtin modules.
I am not a big fan of it because Kbuild ends up with traversing
the source tree twice.
I am not sure how perfectly it should work, but this approach cannot
avoid false positives; even if the relevant CONFIG option is tristate,
some Makefiles forces obj-m to obj-y.
Some examples are:
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_NVRAM:m=y) += nvram.o
net/ipv6/Makefile:
obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IPV6)) += inet6_hashtables.o
net/netlabel/Makefile:
obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IPV6)) += netlabel_calipso.o
Nobody has complained about (or noticed) it, so it is probably fine to
have false positives in modules.builtin.
This commit simplifies the implementation. Let's exploit the fact
that every module has MODULE_LICENSE(). (modpost shows a warning if
MODULE_LICENSE is missing. If so, 0-day bot would already have blocked
such a module.)
I added MODULE_FILE to <linux/module.h>. When the code is being compiled
as builtin, it will be filled with the file path of the module, and
collected into modules.builtin.info. Then, scripts/link-vmlinux.sh
extracts the list of builtin modules out of it.
This new approach fixes the false-positives above, but adds another
type of false-positives; non-modular code may have MODULE_LICENSE()
by mistake. This is not a big deal, it is just the code is always
orphan. We can clean it up if we like. You can see cleanup examples by:
$ git log --grep='make.* explicitly non-modular'
To sum up, this commits deletes lots of code, but still produces almost
equivalent results. Please note it does not increase the vmlinux size at
all. As you can see in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, the .modinfo
section is discarded in the link stage.

The incremental build of Linux kernel is pretty slow when lots of
objects are compiled. The rebuild of allmodconfig may take a few
minutes even when none of the objects needs to be rebuilt.
The time-consuming part in the incremental build is the evaluation of
if_changed* macros since they are used in the recipes to compile C and
assembly source files into objects.
I notice the following code in if_changed* is expensive:
$(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^)
In the incremental build, every object has its .*.cmd file, which
contains the auto-generated list of included headers. So, $^ are
expanded into the long list of the source file + included headers,
and $(wildcard $^) checks whether they exist.
It may not be clear why this check exists there.
Here is the record of my research.
[1] The first code addition into Kbuild
This code dates back to 2002. It is the pre-git era. So, I copy-pasted
it from the historical git tree.

The "No rule to make <file> ..." error can be solved by passing -MP to
the compiler, but I think the detection of header removal is a good
feature. When a header is removed, all source files that previously
included it should be re-compiled. This makes sure we has correctly
got rid of #include directives of it.
This is also related with the behavior of $?. The GNU Make manual says:
$?
The names of all the prerequisites that are newer than the target,
with spaces between them.
This does not explain whether a non-existent prerequisite is considered
to be newer than the target.
At this point of time, GNU Make 3.7x was used, where the $? did not
include non-existent prerequisites. Therefore,
$(filter-out FORCE $(wildcard $^),$^)
was useful to detect the header removal, and to rebuild the related
objects if it is the case.
[2] Change of $? behavior
Later, the behavior of $? was changed (fixed) to include prerequisites
that did not exist.
First, GNU Make commit 64e16d6c00a5 ("Various changes getting ready for
the release of 3.81.") changed it, but in the release test of 3.81, it
turned out to break the kernel build.
See these:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html
- https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?16002
- https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?16051
Then, GNU Make commit 6d8d9b74d9c5 ("Numerous updates to tests for
issues found on Cygwin and Windows.") reverted it for the 3.81 release
to give Linux kernel time to adjust to the new behavior.
After the 3.81 release, GNU Make commit 7595f38f62af ("Fixed a number
of documentation bugs, plus some build/install issues:") re-added it.
[3] Adjustment to the new $? behavior on Kbuild side
Meanwhile, the kernel build was changed by commit 4f1933620f ("kbuild:
change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior") to adjust to
the new $? behavior.
[4] GNU Make 3.82 released in 2010
GNU Make 3.82 was the first release that integrated the correct $?
behavior. At this point, Kbuild dealt with GNU Make versions with
different $? behaviors.
3.81 or older:
$? does not contain any non-existent prerequisite.
$(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) was useful to detect
removed include headers.
3.82 or newer:
$? contains non-existent prerequisites. When a header is removed,
it appears in $?. $(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) became
a redundant check.
With the correct $? behavior, we could have dropped the expensive
check for 3.82 or later, but we did not. (Maybe nobody noticed this
optimization.)
[5] The .SECONDARY special target trips up $?
Some time later, I noticed $? did not work as expected under some
circumstances. As above, $? should contain non-existent prerequisites,
but the ones specified as SECONDARY do not appear in $?.
I asked this in GNU Make ML, and it seems a bug:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2019-01/msg00001.html
Since commit 8e9b61b293 ("kbuild: move .SECONDARY special target to
Kbuild.include"), all files, including headers listed in .*.cmd files,
are treated as secondary.
So, we are back into the incorrect $? behavior.
If we Kbuild want to react to the header removal, we need to keep
$(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^) but this makes the rebuild
so slow.
[Summary]
- I believe noticing the header removal and recompiling related objects
is a nice feature for the build system.
- If $? worked correctly, $(filter-out $(PHONY),$?) would be enough
to detect the header removal.
- Currently, $? does not work correctly when used with .SECONDARY,
and Kbuild is hit by this bug.
- I filed a bug report for this, but not fixed yet as of writing.
- Currently, the header removal is detected by the following expensive
code:
$(filter-out $(PHONY) $(wildcard $^),$^)
- I do not want to revert commit 8e9b61b293 ("kbuild: move
.SECONDARY special target to Kbuild.include"). Specifying
.SECONDARY globally is clean, and it matches to the Kbuild policy.
This commit proactively removes the expensive check since it makes the
incremental build faster. A downside is Kbuild will no longer be able
to notice the header removal.
You can confirm it by the full-build followed by a header removal, and
then re-build.

Previously, Kbuild noticed a missing header and emits a build error.
Now, Kbuild is fine with it. This is an unusual corner-case, not a big
deal. Once the $? bug is fixed in GNU Make, everything will work fine.

arch/mips/Makefile passes prefixes that start with '-' to cc-cross-prefix
when $(tool-archpref) evaluates to the empty string.
They are filtered-out before the $(shell ...) invocation. Otherwise,
'command -v' would be confused.
$ command -v -linux-gcc
bash: command: -l: invalid option
command: usage: command [-pVv] command [arg ...]
Since commit 913ab9780f ("kbuild: use more portable 'command -v' for
cc-cross-prefix"), cc-cross-prefix throws away the stderr output, so
the console is not polluted in any way.
This is not a big deal in practice, but I see a slightly better taste
in adding '--' to teach it that '-linux-gcc' is an argument instead of
a command option.
This will cause extra forking of subshell, but it will not be noticeable
performance regression.

The string returned by $(filter-out ...) does not contain any leading
or trailing spaces.
With the previous commit, 'any-prereq' no longer contains any
excessive spaces.
Nor does 'cmd-check' since it expands to a $(filter-out ...) call.
So, only the space that matters is the one between 'any-prereq'
and 'cmd-check'.
By removing it from the code, we can save $(strip ...) evaluation.
This refactoring is possible because $(any-prereq)$(cmd-check) is only
passed to the first argument of $(if ...), so we are only interested
in whether or not it is empty.

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 bd55f96fa9 ("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.
Tested on Make 3.81, 3.82, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1

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.

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.

- $(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.

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. Refer to commit
69ea912fda ("kbuild: remove unneeded link_multi_deps"). I added some

filechk_* rules often consist of multiple 'echo' lines. They must be
surrounded with { } or ( ) to work correctly. Otherwise, only the
string from the last 'echo' would be written into the target.
Let's take care of that in the 'filechk' in scripts/Kbuild.include

In commit 54a702f705 ("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.

With the change of rule_cc_o_c / rule_as_o_S in the last commit, each
command is executed in a separate subshell. Rip off unneeded semicolons.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
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.

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 9c2af1c737 ("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 2982c95357 ("kbuild: remove redundant
$(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation"), and commit 00d78ab2ba
("kbuild: remove dead code in cmd_files calculation in top Makefile")
because now we must check the presence of targets.

There is one more user of $(cc-name) in the top Makefile. It is supposed
to detect Clang before invoking Kconfig, so it should still be there
in the $(shell ...) form. All the other users of $(cc-name) have been
replaced with $(CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG). Hence, scripts/Kbuild.include does
not need to define cc-name any more.

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.
