[PATCH] kbuild: fix a warning in double cleaning of separate build directory

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

 



Since commit b91976b7c0e3 ("kbuild: compile-test UAPI headers to ensure
they are self-contained"), 'make clean' in a row for the separate output
directory emits a warning.

$ make -s O=foo allmodconfig; cd foo; make usr/; make clean; make clean
  [ snip ]
  CLEAN   .
  CLEAN   usr/include/asm usr/include/asm-generic usr/include/drm usr/include/linux usr/include/misc usr/include/mtd usr/include/rdma usr/include/scsi usr/include/sound usr/include/video usr/include/xen
  CLEAN   usr
  CLEAN   arch/x86/tools
  CLEAN   .tmp_versions
find: ‘*’: No such file or directory
find: ‘*’: No such file or directory

In the second 'make clean', $(objtree)/usr/include exists, but it
contains nothing, then the 'find' command warns 'No such file or
directory'.

I replaced the nasty 'find' with $(wildcard ...).

[Note]
I wish I could write the code more simply, like this:

clean-dirs = $(patsubst $(obj)/%/,%,$(wildcard $(obj)/*/))

I did not do that due to the bug of GNU Make <= 4.2.1

$(wildcard $(obj)/*/) should match to only directories since it has
a trailing slash, but actually matches to regular files too.

This bug was fixed by:

| commit b7acb10e86dc8f5fdf2a2bbd87e1059c315e31d6
| Author: spagoveanu@xxxxxxxxx <spagoveanu@xxxxxxxxx>
| Date:   Wed Jun 20 02:03:48 2018 +0300
|
|    * src/dir.c: Preserve glob d_type field

For GNU Make <= 4.2.1, clean-dirs would end up with containing
'usr/include/Makefile'. This would be harmless because Makefile.clean
would search for the non-existing 'usr/include/usr/include/Makefile',
then it would be filtered out by $(wildcard ...).

However, I'd rather try my best to avoid buggy code.
