The patch titled Subject: kbuild: make: fix if_changed when command contains backslashes has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kbuild-make-fix-if_changed-when-command-contains-backslashes.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kbuild: make: fix if_changed when command contains backslashes The call if_changed mechanism does not work when the command contains backslashes. This basically is an issue with lzo and bzip2 compressed kernels. The compressed binaries do not contain the uncompressed image size, so these use size_append to append the size. This results in backslashes in the executed command. With this if_changed always detects a change in the command and rebuilds the compressed image even if nothing has changed. Fix this by escaping backslashes in make-cmd Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jan Luebbe <jlu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Bernhard Walle <bernhard@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@xxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/Kbuild.include | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN scripts/Kbuild.include~kbuild-make-fix-if_changed-when-command-contains-backslashes scripts/Kbuild.include --- a/scripts/Kbuild.include~kbuild-make-fix-if_changed-when-command-contains-backslashes +++ a/scripts/Kbuild.include @@ -209,7 +209,7 @@ endif # >$< substitution to preserve $ when reloading .cmd file # note: when using inline perl scripts [perl -e '...$$t=1;...'] # in $(cmd_xxx) double $$ your perl vars -make-cmd = $(subst \#,\\\#,$(subst $$,$$$$,$(call escsq,$(cmd_$(1))))) +make-cmd = $(subst \\,\\\\,$(subst \#,\\\#,$(subst $$,$$$$,$(call escsq,$(cmd_$(1)))))) # Find any prerequisites that is newer than target or that does not exist. # PHONY targets skipped in both cases. _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx are origin.patch linux-next.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
