Except for an additional prereq Arm and x86 have the same needs here,
and Arm can also benefit from the recent x86 side improvement. Recurse
into arch/*/ only for a phony include target (doing nothing on Arm),
and handle asm-offsets itself entirely locally to xen/Makefile.

 From a generic PoV, this target is meant to generate arch-specific 
include. Is that correct?

Yes, like is happening on x86 already.

Won't it be more natural to keep the .s file in arch/$(TARGET_ARCH)?

Thanks, Roger.

Yes and no: Yes as far as the actual file location is concerned.
No when considering where it gets generated: I generally consider
it risky to generate files outside of the directory where make
currently runs. There may be good reasons for certain exceptions,
but personally I don't see this case as good enough a reason.

Somewhat related - if doing as you suggest, which Makefile's
clean: rule should clean up that file in your opinion?

Nevertheless, if there's general agreement that keeping the file
there is better, I'd make the change and simply ignore my unhappy
feelings about it.

The clean rule should be in the makefile where it's generated IMO,
same as asm-offsets.h clean rule currently in xen/Makefile.

I don't have a strong opinion, it just feels weird to have this IMO
stray asm-offsets.s outside of it's arch directory, taking into
account that we have asm-offsets.h generated from xen/Makefile into an
arch specific directory already as a precedent in that makefile.

Thanks, Roger.

Well, asm-offsets.h generation doesn't involve the compiler, hence
no .*.d files get generated and want including later. For
asm-offsets.s to have dependencies properly honored, if we
generated it in xen/arch/<arch>, .asm-offsets.d would also end up
there, and hence including of it would need separately taking care
of.

I'm not sure I understand what do you mean with inclusion need taking
care of separately. Isn't it expected for .d file to reside in the
same directory as the output, and hence picked up automatically?

Thanks, Roger.

Yes, ...

... and hence they _wouldn't_ be picked up automatically while
building in xen/ if the .s file got created in xen/arch/<arch>/.

Hm, so that would prevent re-building the target when the dependencies
changed as the .d file being in the arch directory would attempt the
rebuild from there instead of the top level xen/?

I guess the alternative would be to force a rebuild of the target
every time, in order to not depend on the .d logic?

Thanks, Roger.

No, in the arch directory nothing should happen at all, as there's
no rule to rebuild asm-offsets.s. And if we built it in the subarch
directory (where asm-offsets.c lives), the wrong rule would kick in
(the general one compiling C to assembly).

Simply rebuilding always is not going to be good: There should be
no re-building at all when actually just installing Xen. Hence
while move-if-changed would be able to suppress the bulk of the
fallout, this would still be too much rebuilding for my taste in
that specific case.

The option I've been hinting at was to explicitly include the .d
files from the arch dir. But I don't really like this either ...

It's hard to tell whether I would prefer that option without seeing
it. In any case, the change is an improvement overall as the logic
gets shared between architectures, so I don't plan to hold it just
because of the placement nit:

Thanks Roger.

Julien, Stefano, may I ask for an Arm side ack (or otherwise) here
as well?

I will let you commit the patch because I wasn't sure if there was some 
tweaks required based on the conversation between Roger and you.

Cheers,
