2016-12-05tools build: Make fixdep parsing wait for last targetJiri Olsa
The fixdep tool, among other things, replaces the target of the object in the gcc generated dependency output file. The parsing code assumes there's only single target in the rule but this is not always the case as described in here: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2016-11/msg00099.html Make the fixdep code smart enough to skip all the possible targets.

2015-09-28tools build: Add fixdep dependency helperJiri Olsa
For dependency tracking we currently use targets that fall out of the gcc -MD command. We store this info in the .cmd file and include as makefile during the build. This format put object as target and all the c and header files as dependencies, like: util/abspath.o: util/abspath.c /usr/include/stdc-predef.h util/cache.h \ /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \ ... If any of those dependency header files (krava.h below) is removed the build fails on: make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'krava.h', needed by 'inc.o'. Stop. This patch adds fixdep helper, that is used by kbuild to alter the shape of the object dependencies like: source_util/abspath.o := util/abspath.c deps_util/abspath.o := \ /usr/include/stdc-predef.h \ util/cache.h \ ... util/abspath.o: $(deps_util/abspath.o) $(deps_util/abspath.o): With this format the header removal won't make the build fail, because it'll be picked up by the last empty target defined for each header. As previously mentioned the fixdep tool is taken from kbuild. It's not complete backport, only the part that alters the standard dependency info was taken, the part that adds the CONFIG_* dependency logic will be probably taken later on.
