systemtap currently fails to build modules when the kernel source and
object trees are separate.

systemtap adds something like -I"/usr/share/systemtap/runtime" to
EXTRA_CFLAGS, and addtree should not adjust this as it's specifying an
absolute directory.  But since make has no understanding of shell
quoting, it does anyway.

For a long time this didn't matter, because addtree would still emit
the original -I option after the adjusted one.  However, commit
db547ef19064 ("Kbuild: don't add obj tree in additional includes")
changed it to remove the original -I option.

Remove quotes (both double and single) before matching against the
excluded patterns.

I have been thinking about this patch.

We touched addtree every time a new problem popped up.

It would be easy to pick up this patch,
but it looks like a crazy idea
to play pattern-matching in the addtree even more.



[1] -Ifoo/bar/baz
[2] -I"foo/bar/baz"
[3] -I foo/bar/baz    (whitespace(s) after -I)

All of these are valid notation,
and should be handled in the same way.

However, addtree expects only [1],
(then this patch is going to add [2] in the soup).


Each Makefile knows it wants to see
additional headers in the source tree, or objtree.

I am guessing the right approach in a long run is,
we require -I to specify $(srctree) or $(objtree) explicitly.

ccflags-y := -I$(srctree)/foo/bar/baz

or

ccflags-y := -I$(objtree)/foo/bar/baz


(For the latter, we can omit $(objtree)/ as it is ./)


Then, delete $(call flags,_c_flags) after the conversion.

Any comments?

Agreed. The addtree function is more of a hack to make things just work
with O=, but AFAIK there is no clean way to implement VPATH for -I
arguments. So it's sensible to get rid of the hack. It looks like it's
going to be lot of work though:

$ git grep -e '-I' -- '*Makefile*' | wc -l
732
$ git grep -e '-I *\$(\(src\|obj\)tree)' -- '*Makefile*' | wc -l
166

There was a goal long time ago that moving the kernel source should
not trigger a rebuild.
Any hardcoded path would violate this (like $(srctree), $(objtree))

I dunno if this is really something to aim for today.

I have personally from time to time renamed the directory where
I have kernel soruce (which is seen like moving the kernel source),
and would not be happy if this always triggered a full rebuild.
But this is frankly a corner case.

Even if we avoid hard-coding $(srctree) in each Makefile,
"addtree" will modify the -I paths and the modified paths
will be recorded in .*.cmd files.


If we really want to achieve the goal,
my old patch seemed to have a point:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4511991/
This was rejected due to side effects, anyway.

This should be working nowadays if you build without O= or if the
buildtree points to a subdirectory of the source tree. The srctree
variable is set to . or .. in such case. Although when I tried it now,
it still does not look perfect:

$ cd /dev/shm/mmarek/linux-2.6
$ make O=build -s defconfig
$ make O=build -s -j64

All the 32bit object files contain the full path, but none of the .cmd
files do?! And we do trigger rebuild of a few files after moving the
tree, but we do so even in the original location, so it looks like
somebody got a custom rule wrong again.
