[PATCH v2 1/7] kbuild: clear LDFLAGS in the top Makefile

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently LDFLAGS is not cleared, so same flags are accumulated in
LDFLAGS when the top Makefile is recursively invoked.

I found unneeded rebuild for ARCH=arm64 when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is enabled.  If include/generated/autoksyms.h is updated, the top
Makefile is recursively invoked, then arch/arm64/Makefile adds one
more '-maarch64linux'.  Due to the command line change, modules are
rebuilt needlessly.

[PATCH v2 2/7] kbuild: remove wrong 'touch' in adjust_autoksyms.sh

[Masahiro Yamada]

The comment mentions it creates autoksyms.h in case it is missing,
but the actual code touches it when it does exists.

The build system creates it anyway because <linux/export.h> and
<asm-generic/export.h> need it.

The code would not have worked as intended, and people have not
noticed it.  This is a proof that we can simply remove it.

[PATCH v2 4/7] kbuild: restore touching autoksyms.h to the top Makefile

[Masahiro Yamada]

Commit d3fc425e819b ("kbuild: make sure autoksyms.h exists early")
moved the code that touches autoksyms.h to scripts/kconfig/Makefile
with obscure reason.

>From Nicolas' comment [1], he did not seem to be sure about the root
cause.

I guess I figured it out, so here is a fix-up I think is more correct.
According to the error log in the original post [2], the build failed
in scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c

scripts/mod/Makefile is descended from scripts/Makefile, which is
invoked from the top-level Makefile by the 'scripts' target.

To build vmlinux and/or modules, Kbuild descend into $(vmlinux-dirs).
This depends on 'prepare' and 'scripts' as follows:

  $(vmlinux-dirs): prepare scripts

Because there is no dependency between 'prepare' and 'scripts', the
parallel building can run them simultaneously.

'prepare' depends on 'prepare1', which touched autoksyms.h, whereas
'scripts' descends into script/, then scripts/mod/, which needs
<generated/autoksyms.h> if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS.  It was the
reason of the race.

I am not happy to have unrelated code in the Kconfig Makefile, so
getting it back to the top Makefile.

I removed the standalone test target because I want to use it to
create an empty autoksyms.h file.  Here is a little improvement;
unnecessary autoksyms.h is not created when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is disabled.

[PATCH v2 5/7] kbuild: move CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS code unneeded for external module

[Masahiro Yamada]

The external module building does not need to parse this code because
KBUILD_MODULES is always set anyway.

Move this code inside the "ifeq ($(KBUILD_EXTMOD),) ... endif" block.

[PATCH v2 6/7] kbuild: move include/config/ksym/* to include/ksym/*

[Masahiro Yamada]

The idea of using fixdep was inspired by Kconfig, but autoksyms
belongs to a different group.  So, I want move those touched files
under include/config/ksym/ to include/ksym/.

The directory include/ksym/ can be removed by "make clean" because
it is meaningless for the external module building.

[PATCH v2 7/7] kbuild: link vmlinux only once for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS

[Masahiro Yamada]

If CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled and the kernel is built from
a pristine state, the vmlinux is linked twice.

[1] A user runs "make"

[2] First build with empty autoksyms.h

[3] adjust_autoksyms.sh updates autoksyms.h and recurses "make vmlinux"

  --------(begin sub-make)--------
  [4] Second build with new autoksyms.h

  [5] link-vmlinux.sh is invoked because "vmlinux" is missing
  ---------(end sub-make)---------

[6] link-vmlinux.sh is invoked again despite "vmlinux" is up-to-date.

The reason of [6] is probably because Make already decided to update
"vmlinux" at the time of [2] because "vmlinux" was missing when Make
built up the dependency graph.

Because 'if_changed' is implemented based on '$?', this issue can be
narrowed down to how Make handles '$?'.

You can test it with the following simple code:

[Test Makefile]
  A: B
          cp B A
          @echo newer prerequisite: $?

  B: C
          cp C B
          touch A

[Result]
  $ rm -f A B
  $ touch C
  $ make
  cp C B
  touch A
  cp B A
  newer prerequisite: B

Here, 'A' has been touched in the recipe of 'B'.  So, the dependency
'A: B' has already been met before the recipe of 'A' is executed.
However, Make does not notice the fact that the recipe of 'B' also
updates 'A' as a side-effect.

The situation is similar in this case; 'vmlinux' has actually been
updated in the 'vmlinux_prereq' target.  Make cannot predict this, so
judges 'vmlinux' is old.

link-vmlinus.sh is costly, so it is better to not run it when unneeded.
Split CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS recursion to a dedicated target.

The reason of commit 2441e78b1919 ("kbuild: better abstract vmlinux
sequential prerequisites") was to cater to CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC, but
it was later removed by commit 184892925118 ("samples: move blackfin
gptimers-example from Documentation").

Don't you have to make the autoksyms_recursive dependency conditional on 
CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS?
