Hi Linus, Here are Kbuild updates for v4.15. Please pull! The following changes since commit 9e66317d3c92ddaab330c125dfe9d06eee268aff: Linux 4.14-rc3 (2017-10-01 14:54:54 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.git tags/kbuild-v4.15 for you to fetch changes up to 7f855fc805cd9c29867aed56cc20f818b36a7b7b: kbuild: move coccicheck help from scripts/Makefile.help to top Makefile (2017-11-17 00:33:09 +0900) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Kbuild updates for v4.15 One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is now able to cache the result of shell commands. Some variables are expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the compiler. It is not efficient to redo this computation every time, even when we are not actually building anything. Kbuild creates a hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and their results. The speed-up should be noticeable. Summary: - Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh) - Clean up various Makefiles and scripts - Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles - Cache variables that are expensive to compute - Improve cc-ldopton and ld-option for Clang - Optimize output directory creation ---------------------------------------------------------------- Cao jin (4): kbuild: comments cleanup in Makefile.lib arm/kbuild: replace {C, LD}FLAGS_MODULE with KBUILD_{C, LD}FLAGS_MODULE c6x/kbuild: replace CFLAGS_MODULE with KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE hexagon/kbuild: replace CFLAGS_MODULE with KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE Douglas Anderson (2): kbuild: Add a cache for generated variables kbuild: Cache a few more calls to the compiler Masahiro Yamada (22): hexagon: get rid of #include <generated/compile.h> kbuild: link-vmlinux.sh: simplify .version increment kbuild: mkcompile_h: do not create .version kbuild: replace $(hdr-arch) with $(SRCARCH) kbuild: move "_all" target out of $(KBUILD_SRC) conditional kbuild: re-order the code to not parse unnecessary variables kbuild: remove KBUILD_SUBDIR_ASFLAGS and KBUILD_SUBDIR_CCFLAGS kbuild: add forward declaration of default target to Makefile.asm-generic kbuild: do not call cc-option before KBUILD_CFLAGS initialization kbuild: shrink .cache.mk when it exceeds 1000 lines sh: select KBUILD_DEFCONFIG depending on ARCH kbuild: create directory for make cache only when necessary kbuild: remove redundant $(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation kbuild: filter-out PHONY targets from "targets" kbuild: create object directories simpler and faster kbuild: optimize object directory creation for incremental build kbuild: remove redundant mkdir from ./Kbuild kbuild: specify FORCE in Makefile.headersinst as .PHONY target selinux: remove unnecessary assignment to subdir- frv: .gitignore: ignore vmlinux.lds sh: decompressor: add shipped files to .gitignore kbuild: move coccicheck help from scripts/Makefile.help to top Makefile Nick Desaulniers (2): kbuild: clang: remove crufty HOSTCFLAGS kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when cross compiling with Clang Kbuild | 2 - Makefile | 300 ++++++++++++++-------------- arch/arm/Makefile | 6 +- arch/c6x/Makefile | 2 +- arch/frv/kernel/.gitignore | 1 + arch/hexagon/Makefile | 6 +- arch/hexagon/kernel/ptrace.c | 4 +- arch/sh/Makefile | 8 +- arch/sh/boot/compressed/.gitignore | 5 + arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile | 4 - scripts/Kbuild.include | 106 ++++++++-- scripts/Makefile.asm-generic | 3 + scripts/Makefile.build | 25 +-- scripts/Makefile.headersinst | 10 +- scripts/Makefile.help | 3 - scripts/Makefile.host | 12 -- scripts/Makefile.lib | 34 +--- scripts/Makefile.modpost | 3 +- scripts/link-vmlinux.sh | 15 +- scripts/mkcompile_h | 7 +- scripts/selinux/Makefile | 1 - 21 files changed, 297 insertions(+), 260 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/frv/kernel/.gitignore delete mode 100644 scripts/Makefile.help -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
