From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f2f02ebd8f3833626642688b2d2c6a7b3c141fa9 ] When cc-option and friends evaluate compiler flags, the temporary file $$TMP is created as an output object, and automatically cleaned up. The actual file path of $$TMP is .<pid>.tmp, here <pid> is the process ID of $(shell ...) invoked from cc-option. (Please note $$$$ is the escape sequence of $$). Such garbage files are cleaned up in most cases, but some compiler flags create additional output files. For example, -gsplit-dwarf creates a .dwo file. When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y, you will see a bunch of .<pid>.dwo files left in the top of build directories. You may not notice them unless you do 'ls -a', but the garbage files will increase every time you run 'make'. This commit changes the temporary object path to .tmp_<pid>/tmp, and removes .tmp_<pid> directory when exiting. Separate build artifacts such as *.dwo will be cleaned up all together because their file paths are usually determined based on the base name of the object. Another example is -ftest-coverage, which outputs the coverage data into <base-name-of-object>.gcno Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/Kbuild.include | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/Kbuild.include b/scripts/Kbuild.include index 6cabf20ce66a3..fe427f7fcfb31 100644 --- a/scripts/Kbuild.include +++ b/scripts/Kbuild.include @@ -86,20 +86,21 @@ cc-cross-prefix = $(firstword $(foreach c, $(1), \ $(if $(shell command -v -- $(c)gcc 2>/dev/null), $(c)))) # output directory for tests below -TMPOUT := $(if $(KBUILD_EXTMOD),$(firstword $(KBUILD_EXTMOD))/) +TMPOUT = $(if $(KBUILD_EXTMOD),$(firstword $(KBUILD_EXTMOD))/).tmp_$$$$ # try-run # Usage: option = $(call try-run, $(CC)...-o "$$TMP",option-ok,otherwise) # Exit code chooses option.
