2013-07-11Revert "Makefile: Fix install error with make -j option"Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
This reverts commit d2aae8477cd00325bb7c7c7e95be488088900c48. It is completely and utterly broken. Module install should not build any files, and adding broken dependencies to "help" it build files is complete and utter sh*t. The kernel should not be built by root, and "make install" and "make module_install" (that for obvious reasons need to be run as root) absolutely must not build any files. They should only ever copy the already-built files over. So having dependencies for the install targets is wrong, wrong, wrong. If you try to install a kernel without building it first, you *should* get errors. The build system shouldn't try to help root build the files.

2013-04-29Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -OsArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
gcc-4.7 and higher add a lot of false positive warnings about potential uses of uninitialized warnings, but only when optimizing for size (-Os). This is the default when building allyesconfig, which turns on CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. In order to avoid getting a lot of patches that initialize such variables and accidentally hide real errors along the way, let's just turn off this warning on the respective gcc versions when building with size optimizations. The -Wmaybe-uninitialized option was introduced in the same gcc version (4.7) that is now causing the false positives, so there is no effect on older compilers. A side effect is that when building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, we might now see /fewer/ warnings about possibly uninitialized warnings than with -O2, but that is still much better than seeing warnings known to be bogus.

2013-04-18rpm-pkg: Do not package the whole source directoryMichal Marek1-0/+2
The source tree can contain lots of uninteresting data like tag or cscope files, packaging which slows down make rpm needlessly. It can also break the build, if the tree contains an unrelated file named *.spec. The downside of this change is that new subdirectories have to be added to the KBUILD_ALLDIRS variable in the top-level Makefile. The upside is that the behavior is more predictable.

2013-03-15CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.Rusty Russell1-1/+1
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string "_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to do so. Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set: 1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym) 3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7) 5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym) 6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX 7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version for pasting. (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too). Let's solve this properly: 1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm. 3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(). 4) Make everyone use them.

2013-02-22Kbuild: Disable var tracking with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCEDAndi Kleen1-1/+2
Newer gcc enables the var-tracking pass with -g to keep track which registers contain which variables. This is one of the slower passes in gcc. With reduced debug info (aimed at objdump -S, but not using a full debugger) we don't need this fine grained tracking. But it was still enabled because -g was enabled. Disable it explicitely for DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED. On my 8T workstation this gives me about a 12 second gain in building a reasonable kernel config (2min16 vs 2min28) with DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED. With full DEBUG_INFO it takes 2min46 The actual improvement in user time taken by the compiler is much higher (all CPU combined user time 15min5s vs 16m30 before) but the usual amdahl bottleneck on the linker prevents more speedup. It still saves some more energy and keeps cycles for other things. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2013-02-22depmod: pass -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXJames Hogan1-1/+1
On architectures which have symbol prefixes, depmod emits lots of warnings like this: WARNING: $module.ko needs unknown symbol $symbol This is because depmod isn't being passed the -P <symbol_prefix> arguments to specify the symbol prefix to ignore. This option is included since the 3.13 release of module-init-tools. Update scripts/depmod.sh to take extra arguments for the symbol prefix (required but may be empty), and update the main Makefile to always pass "$(CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX)" to scripts/depmod.sh. If the provided symbol prefix is non-empty, scripts/depmod.sh checks if depmod --version reports module-init-tools with a version number < 3.13 otherwise it appends -P $SYMBOL_PREFIX to the depmod command line.
