x86/boot: Fix if_changed build flip/flop bug
Dirk Gouders reported that two consecutive "make" invocations on an already compiled tree will show alternating behaviors: $ make CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh DESCEND objtool CHK include/generated/compile.h DATAREL arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#48) Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 165 modules $ make CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh DESCEND objtool CHK include/generated/compile.h LD arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux ZOFFSET arch/x86/boot/zoffset.h AS arch/x86/boot/header.o LD arch/x86/boot/setup.elf OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/setup.bin OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin BUILD arch/x86/boot/bzImage Setup is 15644 bytes (padded to 15872 bytes). System is 6663 kB CRC 3eb90f40 Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#48) Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 165 modules He bisected it back to: commit 98f78525371b ("x86/boot: Refuse to build with data relocations") The root cause was the use of the "if_changed" kbuild function multiple times for the same target. It was designed to only be used once per target, otherwise it will effectively always trigger, flipping back and forth between the two commands getting recorded by "if_changed". Instead, this patch merges the two commands into a single function to get stable build artifacts (i.e. .vmlinux.cmd), and a single build behavior.
