The decision to rebuild .S_shipped is made based on the relative timestamps of .S_shipped and .pl files but git makes this essentially random. This means that the perl script might run anyway (usually at most once per checkout), defeating the whole purpose of _shipped. Fix by skipping the rule unless explicit make variables are provided: REGENERATE_ARM_CRYPTO or REGENERATE_ARM64_CRYPTO. This can produce nasty occasional build failures downstream, for example for toolchains with broken perl. The solution is minimally intrusive to make it easier to push into stable. Another report on a similar issue here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/8/1379 Signed-off-by: Leonard Crestez <leonard.crestez@xxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/arm/crypto/Makefile | 2 ++ arch/arm64/crypto/Makefile | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+) Not clear if this needs to go through crypto or arm but all commits in these directories start with "crypto:". My problems were only on arm64 because of a yocto toolchain which ships a version of perl which fails on "use integer;". CC stable because this can cause trouble for downstream packagers. diff --git a/arch/arm/crypto/Makefile b/arch/arm/crypto/Makefile index 30ef8e2..c9919c2 100644 --- a/arch/arm/crypto/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm/crypto/Makefile @@ -47,20 +47,22 @@ sha256-arm-y := sha256-core.o sha256_glue.o $(sha256-arm-neon-y) sha512-arm-neon-$(CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON) := sha512-neon-glue.o sha512-arm-y := sha512-core.o sha512-glue.o $(sha512-arm-neon-y) sha1-arm-ce-y := sha1-ce-core.o sha1-ce-glue.o sha2-arm-ce-y := sha2-ce-core.o sha2-ce-glue.o aes-arm-ce-y := aes-ce-core.o aes-ce-glue.o ghash-arm-ce-y := ghash-ce-core.o ghash-ce-glue.o crct10dif-arm-ce-y := crct10dif-ce-core.o crct10dif-ce-glue.o crc32-arm-ce-y:= crc32-ce-core.o crc32-ce-glue.o chacha20-neon-y := chacha20-neon-core.o chacha20-neon-glue.o +ifdef REGENERATE_ARM_CRYPTO quiet_cmd_perl = PERL $@ cmd_perl = $(PERL) $(<) > $(@) $(src)/sha256-core.S_shipped: $(src)/sha256-armv4.pl $(call cmd,perl) $(src)/sha512-core.S_shipped: $(src)/sha512-armv4.pl $(call cmd,perl) +endif .PRECIOUS: $(obj)/sha256-core.S $(obj)/sha512-core.S diff --git a/arch/arm64/crypto/Makefile b/arch/arm64/crypto/Makefile index cee9b8d9..dfe651b 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/crypto/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm64/crypto/Makefile @@ -60,20 +60,22 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM64_BS) += aes-neon-bs.o aes-neon-bs-y := aes-neonbs-core.o aes-neonbs-glue.o AFLAGS_aes-ce.o := -DINTERLEAVE=4 AFLAGS_aes-neon.o := -DINTERLEAVE=4 CFLAGS_aes-glue-ce.o := -DUSE_V8_CRYPTO_EXTENSIONS $(obj)/aes-glue-%.o: $(src)/aes-glue.c FORCE $(call if_changed_rule,cc_o_c) +ifdef REGENERATE_ARM64_CRYPTO quiet_cmd_perlasm = PERLASM $@ cmd_perlasm = $(PERL) $(<) void $(@) $(src)/sha256-core.S_shipped: $(src)/sha512-armv8.pl $(call cmd,perlasm) $(src)/sha512-core.S_shipped: $(src)/sha512-armv8.pl $(call cmd,perlasm) +endif .PRECIOUS: $(obj)/sha256-core.S $(obj)/sha512-core.S -- 2.7.4
