* kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flagsMichal Marek2015-07-061-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS variables.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because the command $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO" does not create object file! I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact but the results are the same. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done $ ls -la /tmp/1.o ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory We can easily fix the problem by adding the '-x c' compiler option. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o $ ls -la /tmp/1.o -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr 2 20:40 /tmp/1.o Also fix wrong ld-option example.

* kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb ruleStephen Warren2012-11-301-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches. MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle. Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

* kbuild: Fix passing -Wno-* options to gcc 4.4+Michal Marek2011-05-031-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in the toplevel Makefile.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is an increasing amount of header files shared between individual architectures in asm-generic. To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide some basic support in kbuild for this. With the following patch an architecture can maintain a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild To use a generic file just add: generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h> For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm. When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created. The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32 patchset - although a different method is used. The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann. Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.

* of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinuxDirk Brandewie2010-12-231-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking .dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image. Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to wrap the blobs for linking. STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition. The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob to get the structure alignment GCC expects. A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using obj-y += foo.dtb.o Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: cleaned up whitespace inconsistencies] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

* kbuild: introduce subdir-ccflags-ySam Ravnborg2009-04-191-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following patch introduce support for setting options to gcc that has effect for current directory and all subdirectories. The typical use case are an architecture or a subsystem that decide to cover all files with -Werror. Today alpha, mips and sparc uses -Werror in almost all their Makefile- with subdir-ccflag-y it is now simpler to do so as only the top-level directories needs to be covered. Likewise if we decide to cover a full subsystem such as net/ with -Werror this is done by adding a single line to net/Makefile.

* kbuild: introduce destination-y for exported headersSam Ravnborg2009-04-111-8/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | xtensa and arm have asked for a possibility to export headers and locate them in a specific directory when exported. Introduce destiantion-y to support this. This patch in additiona adds some limited documentation for the variables used for exported headers.

* kbuild: introduce $(kecho) convenience echoMike Frysinger2008-12-031-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | There is a bunch of places in the build system where we do 'echo' to show some nice status lines. This means we still get output when running in silent mode. So declare a new KECHO variable that only does 'echo' when we are in a suitable verbose build mode.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cc-cross-prefix is useful for the architecture that like to provide a default CROSS_COMPILE value, but may have several to select between. Sample usage: ifneq ($(SUBARCH),$(ARCH)) ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),) CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, m68k-linux-gnu- m68k-linux-) endif endif Actual usage by the different archs will taken care of later.

* kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-ySam Ravnborg2007-10-151-19/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS. This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round. Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the soon to be deprecated variants next. The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for makefile fragments like: ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG As a replacement for the uglier: ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y) EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG endif Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The variable CPPFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. This patch replace use of CPPFLAGS with KBUILD_CPPFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CPPFLAGS=... to specify additional CPP commandline options.

On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CFLAGS=... to specify additional gcc commandline options. One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other use cases has been requested too. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check that nothing got rebuild.
