From eed380f3f5933edb8f4c055ba34ae7908ed38565 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guenter Roeck Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:23:54 +0930 Subject: modpost: Optionally ignore secondary errors seen if a single module build fails Commit ea4054a23 (modpost: handle huge numbers of modules) added support for building a large number of modules. Unfortunately, the commit changed the semantics of the makefile: Instead of passing only existing object files to modpost, make now passes all expected object files. If make was started with option -i, this results in a modpost error if a single file failed to build. Example with the current btrfs build falure on m68k: fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory make[1]: [__modpost] Error 1 (ignored) This error is followed by lots of errors such as: m68k-linux-gcc: error: arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.c: No such file or directory m68k-linux-gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. make[1]: [arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.o] Error 1 (ignored) This doesn't matter much for normal builds, but it is annoying for builds started with "make -i" due to the large number of secondary errors. Those errors unnececessarily clog any error log and make it difficult to find the real errors in the build. Fix the problem by adding a new parameter '-n' to modpost. If this parameter is specified, modpost reports but ignores missing object files. With this patch, error output from above problem is (with make -i): m68k-linux-ld: cannot find fs/btrfs/ioctl.o: No such file or directory make[2]: [fs/btrfs/btrfs.o] Error 1 (ignored) ... fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory (ignored) Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Michael Marek Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell --- scripts/Makefile.modpost | 4 +++- scripts/mod/modpost.c | 13 ++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'scripts') diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.modpost b/scripts/Makefile.modpost index 8dcdca27d836..69f0a1417e9a 100644 --- a/scripts/Makefile.modpost +++ b/scripts/Makefile.modpost @@ -79,9 +79,11 @@ modpost = scripts/mod/modpost \ $(if $(CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH),,-S) \ $(if $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)$(KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN),-w) +MODPOST_OPT=$(subst -i,-n,$(filter -i,$(MAKEFLAGS))) + # We can go over command line length here, so be careful. quiet_cmd_modpost = MODPOST $(words $(filter-out vmlinux FORCE, $^)) modules - cmd_modpost = $(MODLISTCMD) | sed 's/\.ko$$/.o/' | $(modpost) -s -T - + cmd_modpost = $(MODLISTCMD) | sed 's/\.ko$$/.o/' | $(modpost) $(MODPOST_OPT) -s -T - PHONY += __modpost __modpost: $(modules:.ko=.o) FORCE diff --git a/scripts/mod/modpost.c b/scripts/mod/modpost.c index 8247979e8f64..393706b37774 100644 --- a/scripts/mod/modpost.c +++ b/scripts/mod/modpost.c @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include "modpost.h" #include "../../include/generated/autoconf.h" #include "../../include/linux/license.h" @@ -37,6 +38,8 @@ static int warn_unresolved = 0; /* How a symbol is exported */ static int sec_mismatch_count = 0; static int sec_mismatch_verbose = 1; +/* ignore missing files */ +static int ignore_missing_files; enum export { export_plain, export_unused, export_gpl, @@ -407,6 +410,11 @@ static int parse_elf(struct elf_info *info, const char *filename) hdr = grab_file(filename, &info->size); if (!hdr) { + if (ignore_missing_files) { + fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s (ignored)\n", filename, + strerror(errno)); + return 0; + } perror(filename); exit(1); } @@ -2119,7 +2127,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) struct ext_sym_list *extsym_iter; struct ext_sym_list *extsym_start = NULL; - while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv, "i:I:e:msST:o:awM:K:")) != -1) { + while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv, "i:I:e:mnsST:o:awM:K:")) != -1) { switch (opt) { case 'i': kernel_read = optarg; @@ -2139,6 +2147,9 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) case 'm': modversions = 1; break; + case 'n': + ignore_missing_files = 1; + break; case 'o': dump_write = optarg; break; -- cgit v1.2.3
