[PATCH 2/4] kbuild: doc: reproducible-builds: drop section "Absolute filenames"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The top-level Makefile now uses the generic -ffile-prefix-map which also
affects debug information, making the manual override superfluous.

Drop the now unnecessary section.

-Absolute filenames
-------------------
-
-When the kernel is built out-of-tree, debug information may include
-absolute filenames for the source files.  This must be overridden by
-including the ``-fdebug-prefix-map`` option in the `KCFLAGS`_ variable.
-
-Depending on the compiler used, the ``__FILE__`` macro may also expand
-to an absolute filename in an out-of-tree build.  Kbuild automatically
-uses the ``-fmacro-prefix-map`` option to prevent this, if it is
-supported.
-
-The Reproducible Builds web site has more information about these
-`prefix-map options`_.
