2015-11-26tools build: Use fixdep with OUTPUT path prefixJiri Olsa
Adding OUTPUT path prefix for fixdep target so we use it properly in out of tree builds. If the fixdep already existed in the tree, the out of tree build would see it already exist and did not build the out of tree version, as reported by Arnaldo: [acme@zoo linux]$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf' BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'fixdep'. make: Leaving directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf' Reported-and-Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20151126185055.GC19410@krava.brq.redhat.com [ Fixed conflict with 5725dd8fa888 ("tools build: Clean CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for fixdep") ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
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.
