Subject: powerpc VDSO files being unnecessarily rebuilt
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2020 13:56:01 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87tuslxhry.fsf@mpe.ellerman.id.au> (raw)
Hi all,
Since the merge of the C VDSO I see we are repeatedly rebuilding some
files in the VDSO, eg:
$ make V=2
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/michael/linux/build~'
GEN Makefile
CALL /home/michael/linux/scripts/checksyscalls.sh - due to target missing
CALL /home/michael/linux/scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh - due to target missing
CHK include/generated/compile.h
CC arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vgettimeofday.o - due to vgettimeofday.o not in $(targets)
This then causes multiple other files to be rebuilt.
So the obvious fix is to add it to targets:
diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/Makefile b/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/Makefile
index d365810a689a..5386532866ce 100644

endif

-targets := $(obj-vdso64) vdso64.so.dbg

GCOV_PROFILE := n
But then I see it still rebuilt:
CC arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vgettimeofday.o - due to command line change
I'm not changing the command line, and AFAICS the .cmd file is not
changing either:
$ make V=2
...
CC arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vgettimeofday.o - due to command line change
$ sha256sum build\~/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vgettimeofday.o

$ make V=2
...
CC arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vgettimeofday.o - due to command line change

So any hints on what I'm missing here?
cheers
