2019-08-29kbuild: remove clean-dirs syntaxMasahiro Yamada
The only the difference between clean-files and clean-dirs is the -r option passed to the 'rm' command. You can always pass -r, and then remove the clean-dirs syntax. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2019-08-29docs: kbuild: remove cc-ldoption from document againMasahiro Yamada
Commit 055efab3120b ("kbuild: drop support for cc-ldoption") correctly removed the cc-ldoption from Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, but commit cd238effefa2 ("docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst") revived it. I guess it was a rebase mistake. Remove it again. Fixes: cd238effefa2 ("docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst") Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2019-08-29docs: kbuild: fix invalid ReST syntaxMasahiro Yamada
I see the following warnings when I open this document with a ReST viewer, retext: /home/masahiro/ref/linux/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst:1142: (WARNING/2) Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. /home/masahiro/ref/linux/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst:1152: (WARNING/2) Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. /home/masahiro/ref/linux/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst:1154: (WARNING/2) Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. These hunks were added by commit e846f0dc57f4 ("kbuild: add support for ensuring headers are self-contained") and commit 1e21cbfada87 ("kbuild: support header-test-pattern-y"), respectively. They were written not for ReST but for the plain text, and merged via the kbuild tree. In the same development cycle, this document was converted to ReST by commit cd238effefa2 ("docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst"), and merged via the doc sub-system. Merging them together into Linus' tree resulted in the current situation. To fix the syntax, surround the asterisks with back-quotes, and use :: for the code sample.

2019-08-21kbuild: rebuild modules when module linker scripts are updatedMasahiro Yamada
Currently, the timestamp of module linker scripts are not checked. Add them to the dependency of modules so they are correctly rebuilt. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2019-08-21kbuild: move KBUILD_LDS, KBUILD_VMLINUX_{OBJS,LIBS} to makefiles.rstMasahiro Yamada
These three variables are not intended to be tweaked by users. Move them from kbuild.rst to makefiles.rst. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2019-08-21kbuild: do not descend to ./Kbuild when cleaningMasahiro Yamada
'make clean' descends into ./Kbuild, but does not clean anything since everything is added to no-clean-files. There is no need to descend to ./Kbuild in the first place. We can drop the no-clean-files assignment. With this, there is no more user of no-clean-files. I will keep it for a while to see whether a new user will appear.

2019-07-17kbuild: get rid of misleading $(AS) from documentsMasahiro Yamada
The assembler files in the kernel are *.S instead of *.s, so they must be preprocessed. Since 'as' of GNU binutils is not able to preprocess, we always use $(CC) as an assembler driver. $(AS) is almost unused in Kbuild. As of v5.2, there is just one place that directly invokes $(AS). $ git grep -e '$(AS)' -e '${AS}' -e '$AS' -e '$(AS:' -e '${AS:' -- :^Documentation drivers/net/wan/Makefile: AS68K = $(AS) The documentation about *_AFLAGS* sounds like the flags were passed to $(AS). This is somewhat misleading. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@gmail.com>
2019-07-15docs: kbuild: fix build with pdf and fix some minor issuesMauro Carvalho Chehab
The tag ".. include" should be replaced by ".. literalinclude" at issues.rst, otherwise it causes TeX to crash due to excessive usage of stack with Sphinx 2.0. While here, solve a few minor issues at the kbuild book output by adding extra blank lines. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>

2019-06-14docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab
The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents there are written at different times: some use markdown, some use their own peculiar logic to split sections. Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
