When we update the header files that had been included in head.S.
The build system would not re-compile the head.S. Because in the
build rules, the dependencies are setting to .*.d (eg. DEPS = .*.d)
files in the same folder as Makefile.

But head.S is very special, it was used by the Makefile in the parent
folder: "ALL_OBJS := $(TARGET_SUBARCH)/head.o".

In this case, the build system could not find the dependency in DEPS.
When we update the header files, the build system is unware of this
update. If we re-build the Xen without doing make clean or touching
the head.S, the build system will not recompile the head.S.

In my mind, the better way to fix this bug is converting the DEPS from
ALL_OBJS. But I am afraid of the impact. I am not sure whether there 
are some dependencies are not generated from obj files.

My knowledge of the build system is limited. Stefano, Ian, Wei, could 
you give a look?

In current Xen build rules, the build system will only check the
dependencies in current folder and obj-y generated dependencies
in other folder.

But Makefile may add some objects to ALL_OBJS. These objects may
be not in the same folder as Makefile. Use arch/arm/Makefile as
an example:
    ALL_OBJS := $(TARGET_SUBARCH)/head.o

The head.o is not in the same folder as Makefile and is not listed
in obj-y. So, when we update the header files that had been included
in head.S. The build system would not check the dependency of head.S.
The head.S would not be re-compiled.

In this patch, we will get objects added by Makefile and add their
dependencies to check list.

This should be in 4.7 and is a backport candidate.

I do like this idea but I have the same worry.  It might be possible
to dump ALL_OBJS out somehow and check this, but it might be
arch-dependent.

Wei Chen's patch is IMO a straightforward fix.

Thanks,
Ian.

Sounds good to me.

FWIW, Wei sent a new version today [1] which implement his suggestion. 
Although it might be too risky for Xen 4.7.

Thanks for the v2.

But I think I actually somewhat prefer the v1 approach, for these
reasons:

I won't NAK the v2 but I think if Wei Chen is still happy for us to do
so, we should commit the v1.

We shall take either v1 or v2. I don't really have an opinion which one.

Either one:
