[PATCH 1/3] Makefile.compiler: s/KBUILD_CFLAGS/KBUILD_AFLAGS/ for as-option

Nick Desaulniers posted 3 patches 3 years, 7 months ago
There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 1/3] Makefile.compiler: s/KBUILD_CFLAGS/KBUILD_AFLAGS/ for as-option
Posted by Nick Desaulniers 3 years, 7 months ago 
as-instr uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, but as-option uses KBUILD_CFLAGS.  This can
cause as-option to fail unexpectedly because clang will emit
-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument for various -m and -f flags for
assembler sources.

Callers of as-option (and as-instr) likely want to be adding flags to
KBUILD_AFLAGS/aflags-y, not KBUILD_CFLAGS/cflags-y.

Hi Nick,

I think the title would be a little more readable if it was:

Makefile.compiler: Use KBUILD_AFLAGS for as-option

Commit 09e43968db40 ("x86/boot/compressed: Disable relocation
relaxation") added this to address
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1121, is it correct to
move it to only being used for the .S files in arch/x86/boot/compressed?

Thanks, yeah that looks better; I expect a v2 of this series will be necessary.

+ Arvind

Hmm...that makes me think we might need two different as-option flags;
one that does use KBUILD_CFLAGS, and whose result is meant to be added
to cflags-y, then another that uses KBUILD_AFLAGS and is added to
aflagsy-y.

(My patch 2/3 in the series would use the latter)

Let's see what thoughts Masahiro has.

Indeed, it has been weird since the day-1 of as-option.

How about this?

KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-mrelax-relocations=no)

    to

KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Wa$(comma)-mrelax-relocations=no)


You can insert this one-liner before this patch.




In Kconfig, -Wa,<as-option> is tested by cc-option.
(See commit 4d0831e8a029c03f49f434f28b8faef9f0bd403f)
