Commit Message

Brian Norris July 15, 2024, 8:32 p.m. UTC
The 'fixdep' tool is used to post-process dependency files for various
reasons, and it runs after every object file generation command. This
even includes 'fixdep' itself.

In Kbuild, this isn't actually a problem, because it uses a single
command to generate fixdep (a compile-and-link command on fixdep.c), and
afterward runs the fixdep command on the accompanying .fixdep.cmd file.

In tools/ builds (which notably is maintained separately from Kbuild),
fixdep is generated in several phases:

 1. fixdep.c -> fixdep-in.o
 2. fixdep-in.o -> fixdep

Thus, fixdep is not available in the post-processing for step 1, and
instead, we generate .cmd files that look like:

  ## from tools/objtool/libsubcmd/.fixdep.o.cmd
  # cannot find fixdep (/path/to/linux/tools/objtool/libsubcmd//fixdep)
  [...]

These invalid .cmd files are benign in some respects, but cause problems
in others (such as the linked reports).

Because the tools/ build system is rather complicated in its own right
(and pointedly different than Kbuild), I choose to simply open-code the
rule for building fixdep, and avoid the recursive-make indirection that
produces the problem in the first place.

so usually Arnaldo takes changes for tools/build, Arnaldo, could you please take a look?
but still there'are the tools/lib/bpf bits..

I think it should be fine for libbpf bits to go through Arnaldo's tree
and get back to bpf-next eventually. Unlikely that we'll have any
conflict in libbpf's Makefile specifically, we rarely change it.

Would you have some time to look at this series and whether it's ready
to be applied? Several folks have already acked one or more patches.

In case you've lost context on the series, here's a lore link for the
cover letter:

Lo! TWIMC, this change broke my daily arm64 and x86_64 Fedora vanilla RPM
builds on all Fedora releases when it hit -next a few days ago. Reverting
it fixes the problem.

The problem is related to the RPM magic somehow, as building worked fine
when when I omitted stuff like "-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-
hardened-cc1 -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1" from the
make call. So the real problem might be that space somewhere.


This is how the build fails on x86_64:

+ /usr/bin/make -s 'HOSTCFLAGS=-O2  -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -fstack-protector-strong -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1  -m64 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection   ' 'HOSTLDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed  -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1  -Wl,--build-id=sha1 -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-package-notes ' ARCH=x86_64 'KCFLAGS= ' WITH_GCOV=0 -j2 bzImage

This is how it fails on arm64:

I don't have a Fedora installation on hand at the moment, and the logs
don't seem to include most of the actual kernel build logs
(stdout+stderr of a V=1 build might help), but I think what you've
provided so far has highlighted one possible problem -- that the new
one-shot compile+link is ignoring HOSTCFLAGS, which were previously
respected via tools/build/Build.include. Could you try the following
diff? I'll cook a proper patch and description later, but for now:

--- a/tools/build/Makefile
+++ b/tools/build/Makefile
@@ -44,4 +44,4 @@ ifneq ($(wildcard $(TMP_O)),)
