* [PATCH] kbuild: check arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated before out-of-tree build @ 2019-04-07 10:43 Masahiro Yamada 2019-04-11 14:24 ` Masahiro Yamada 2019-07-09 8:30 ` Geert Uytterhoeven 0 siblings, 2 replies; 7+ messages in thread From: Masahiro Yamada @ 2019-04-07 10:43 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-kbuild; +Cc: Masahiro Yamada, Michal Marek, linux-kernel After cross-compiling the kernel, "make mrproper" should be executed with the proper ARCH= option. Otherwise, stale objects will remain under arch/$(SRCARCH)/. One bad scenario is like this: $ make ARCH=arm defconfig all # cross-compile the kernel for arm $ make mrproper # mrproper for host-arch (i.e. x86) $ make ARCH=arm O=build_dir defconfig all If you miss ARCH= for mrproper and cross-compile the kernel with O= and ARCH= options, Kbuild will happily start to build, but may fail due to stale objects in the srctree. If $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/ exists, let's stop the out-of-tree build. To detect this, mrproper should clean only arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/generated/.

Usually I don't run "make mrproper", as it removes files I may want to keep (e.g. tags). Hence I ran "git ls-files -o | grep m68k | xargs rm" (I usually build in separate output directories), confirmed with "git ls-files -o" there were no remaining build artefacts, and was surprised to discover I still got the error message above?!? Apparently arch/m68k/include/generated was still present, but as "git ls-files -o" only shows files, not directories, it was not listed. Perhaps the directory checks above can be changed to directory exists _and_ is not empty? Thanks!

No. Since you did not run mrproper, Kbuild _correctly_ showed error. This is the expected and correct behavior. :) The upstream kernel is not a place to be customized for your workflow. Sorry. Every developer has a set of handy custom commands. Since you are already running a long command, why don't you add one more line, and put in ~/.bash_aliases or somewhere? my_mrproper() { git ls-files -o | grep m68k | xargs rm rm -rf arch/m68k/include/generated } -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I just happened to had done a quick test build in my kernel source tree repository before, and had forgotten about that. So IMHO this is more of a usability issue: it is difficult to find out what is wrong, and how to solve it, as "git ls-files -o" doesn't give a clue. And running "make mrproper" doesn't help.
