* x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.configSam Ravnborg2007-11-171-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in all.config. For a fix the diffstat is nice: 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) The patch reverts these commits: 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 -> kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 -> kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were not needed. With this patch we have following behaviour: # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...] option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit ===================================================== ./. | 32bit | 64bit ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes precedence over the configuration. So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the other way around. This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no suprises here. make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.

* x86: enable "make ARCH=x86"Sam Ravnborg2007-11-121-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After unification of the Kconfig files and introducing K64BIT support in kconfig it required only trivial changes to enable "make ARCH=x86". With this patch you can build for x86_64 in several ways: 1) make ARCH=x86_64 2) make ARCH=x86 K64BIT=y 3) make ARCH=x86 menuconfig => select 64-bit Likewise for i386 with the addition that i386 is default is you say ARCH=x86.

* kbuild: do not pick up CFLAGS from the environmentSam Ravnborg2007-11-041-3/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Too many people have CFLAGS set to support building userspace. And now Kbuild picks up CFLAGS this caused troubles. Although people should realise that setting CFLAGS has a 'global' effect the impact on the kernel build is a suprise. So change kbuild to pick up value from KCFLAGS that is much less used. When kbuild pick up a value it will warn like this: Makefile:544: "WARNING: Appending $KCFLAGS (-O3) from environment to kernel $CFLAGS" Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Thomas Bächler <thomas@archlinux.org> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building a specific module before doing a total kernel build it failed because $(MORVERDIR) were missing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building embedded systems in a cross-compile environment and populating a target's file system image, we don't want to run the depmod on the host as we may be building for a completely different architecture. Since there's no such thing as a cross-depmod, we just disable running depmod in the cross-compile case and we just run depmod on the target at bootup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We often hit the situation where the asm symlink in include/ points to the wrong architecture. In 9 out of 10 cases thats because we forgot to set ARCH but sometimes we just reused the same tree for another ARCH. For the merged x86 tree we need to create a new symlink but this is not obvious. So with the following patch we check if the symlink points to the correct architecture and error out if this is not the case. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

* kbuild: call make once for all targets when O=.. is usedMilton Miller2007-10-121-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the invocations of make in the output directory Makefile and the main Makefile for separate object trees to pass all goals to one $(MAKE) via a new phony target "sub-make" and the existing target _all. When compiling with separate object directories, a separate make is called in the context of another directory (from the output directory the main Makefile is called, the Makefile is then restarted with current directory set to the object tree). Before this patch, when multiple make command goals are specified, each target results in a separate make invocation. With make -j, these invocations may run in parallel, resulting in multiple commands running in the same directory clobbering each others results. I did not try to address make -j for mixed dot-config and no-dot-config targets. Because the order does matter, a solution was not obvious. Perhaps a simple check for MAKEFLAGS having -j and refusing to run would be appropriate. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.

* | Use --build-id ld optionRoland McGrath2007-07-191-0/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change passes the --build-id when linking the kernel and when linking modules, if ld supports it. This is a new GNU ld option that synthesizes an ELF note section inside the read-only data. The note in this section contains unique identifying bits called the "build ID", which are generated so as to be different for any two linked ELF files that aren't identical. The build ID can be recovered from stripped files, memory dumps, etc. and used to look up the original program built, locate debuginfo or other details or history associated with it. For normal program linking, the compiler passes --build-id to ld by default, but the option is needed when using ld directly as we do.
