From: HONG Yifan <elsk@xxxxxxxxxx> These are flags to be passed when linking proc macros for the Rust toolchain. If unset, it defaults to $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS). This is needed because the list of flags to link hostprogs is not necessarily the same as the list of flags used to link libmacros.so. When we build proc macros, we need the latter, not the former (e.g. when using a Rust compiler binary linked to a different C library than host programs). To distinguish between the two, introduce this new variable to stand out from KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS used to link other host progs.

Otherwise it would not be visible in `rust/Makefile`. - Removed "additional" from the documentation and commit message, since this actually replaces the other flags, unlike other cases. - Added example of use case to documentation and commit message. Thanks Alice for the details on what Google needs! - Instead of `HOSTLDFLAGS`, used `KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS` as the fallback to preserve the previous behavior as much as possible, as discussed with Alice/Yifan. Thus moved the variable down too (currently we do not modify `KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS` elsewhere) and avoided mentioning `HOSTLDFLAGS` directly in the documentation. - Fixed documentation header formatting. - Reworded slightly. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Masahiro: if Kbuild wants to pick this up, that is great. Otherwise, I am happy picking this up early next cycle, if you give an `Acked-by` since this is changing the interface for Kbuild users given we are introducing a new environment variable. Thanks! Note that the `or` means if the string is empty, we will use the default rather than nothing. I didn't change that from Yifan's version, but maybe we want to do otherwise. Users can still provide e.g. an empty space to avoid any flag. Yifan/Alice: please double-check the changes. Thanks! v3: see changes above. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20241017210430.2401398-2-elsk@xxxxxxxxxx/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20241017200138.2390077-2-elsk@xxxxxxxxxx/ Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst | 11 +++++++++++ Makefile | 3 ++- rust/Makefile | 2 +- 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst b/Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst index 1796b3eba37b..9cb876ccc363 100644 --- a/Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst +++ b/Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst @@ -91,6 +91,17 @@ HOSTRUSTFLAGS ------------- Additional flags to be passed to $(HOSTRUSTC) when building host programs. +PROCMACROLDFLAGS +---------------- +Flags to be passed when linking Rust proc macros.
