But, the situation has changed. The direction of the development is to move the compiler flags evaluation to the Kconfig phase, and remove the Kbuild cache. If you are interested in the background, here are some of resources: Linus' comment that finally moved this work forward: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/7/527 Tons of discussion about the initial version: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10207385/ The core patch in the latest version: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10225355/ And, I am removing the Kbuild cache entirely: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10225437/ I do not know how to handle your patches since I am removing the addressed code for 4.17-rc1, which is comming in a month or so. If this is a fatal problem, we can queue it up only for 4.16, but I do not hear problem reports these days... > Changes in v3: > - Fix as per Masahiro Yamada (move change to main Makefile) > - Use "uid 0" as the heuristic instead of install > - Do the checking in the main Makefile instead of Kbuild.include > > Changes in v2: > - Don't error if MAKECMDGOALS is blank. > > Douglas Anderson (2): > kbuild: Require a 'make clean' if we detect gcc changed underneath us > kbuild: Don't mess with the .cache.mk when root > > Makefile | 15 +++++++++++++++ > scripts/Kbuild.include | 2 ++ > 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+) > > -- > 2.16.2.660.g709887971b-goog > > -- > 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 -- 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
