While adding more functionality to s390's decompressor code and looking at other architectures implementation there is an apparent need to reuse some code outside of arch/*/boot folder (files like lib/ctype.c, lib/cmdline.c and others). On s390 there is a need to rebuild and reuse few additional files to print out early error messages (console support, ebcdic, arch/s390/lib/mem.S). This list will be extended with additional features implementation (like kaslr, etc). Current solution seems to be reverse including source files, which is ugly. The following patch proposes another way to address that problem, which in the end would we used like: in some arch/*/boot/Makefile: obj-y := ctype.o cmdline.o mem.o ..some local files.. SRCDIR_ctype.o := lib SRCDIR_cmdline.o := lib SRCDIR_mem.o := arch/s390/lib Vasily Gorbik (1): kbuild: allow alternate src for target's implicit prerequisite scripts/Makefile.build | 26 +++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) -- 2.18.0.13.gd42ae10 -- 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
