2018-07-12T15:48:18+00:00

The final link of fixdep uses LDFLAGS but not the existing HOSTLDFLAGS.
Fix this.

tools: build: Fixup host c flags

2018-07-12T15:48:17+00:00

Commit 0c3b7e42616f ("tools build: Add support for host programs format")
introduced host_c_flags which referenced CHOSTFLAGS. The actual name of the
variable is HOSTCFLAGS. Fix this up.

tools build: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make

2018-07-12T15:48:17+00:00

In 2016 GNU Make made a backwards incompatible change to the way '#'
characters were handled in Makefiles when used inside functions or
macros:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c6966b323811c37acedff05b57

Due to this change, when attempting to run `make prepare' I get a
spurious make syntax error:

    /home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool/.fixdep.o.cmd:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

When inspecting `.fixdep.o.cmd' it includes two lines which use
unescaped comment characters at the top:

    \# cannot find fixdep (/home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool//fixdep)
    \# using basic dep data

This is because `tools/build/Build.include' prints these '\#'
characters:

    printf '\# cannot find fixdep (%s)\n' $(fixdep) > $(dot-target).cmd; \
    printf '\# using basic dep data\n\n' >> $(dot-target).cmd;           \

This completes commit 9564a8cf422d ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files
for future Make").

Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make

2018-04-10T15:03:02+00:00

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but
already the objtool build broke with

orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’:
orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
  if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &nr_sections)) {

Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp
didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and
-DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS.

Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file:

  * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
    Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
    no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
    thus a call such as:
      foo := $(shell echo '#')
    is legal.  Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
      foo := $(shell echo '\#')
    Now this latter will resolve to "\#".  If you want to write makefiles
    portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
      C := \#
      foo := $(shell echo '$C')
    This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
    To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.

This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound)
rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need
similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains
the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the
new make.

perf tools: Integrating the CoreSight decoding library

2018-01-25T09:37:23+00:00

The Open CoreSight Decoding Library (openCSD) is a free and open library
to decode traces collected by the CoreSight hardware infrastructure.

This patch adds the required mechanic to recognise the presence of the
openCSD library on a system and set up miscellaneous flags to be used in
the compilation of the trace decoding feature.

tools: bpftool: add -DPACKAGE when including bfd.h

2018-01-17T00:15:05+00:00

bfd.h is requiring including of config.h except when PACKAGE or
PACKAGE_VERSION are defined.

  /* PR 14072: Ensure that config.h is included first.  */
  #if !defined PACKAGE && !defined PACKAGE_VERSION
  #error config.h must be included before this header
  #endif

This check has been introduced since May-2012. It doesn't show up in bfd.h
on some Linux distribution, probably because distributions have remove it
when building the package.

However, sometimes the user might just build libfd from source code then
link bpftool against it. For this case, bfd.h will be original that we need
to define PACKAGE or PACKAGE_VERSION.
