From c0a8574204054effad6ac83cc75c02576e2985fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2023 14:32:34 +0900 Subject: arm64: add dependency between vmlinuz.efi and Image A common issue in Makefile is a race in parallel building. You need to be careful to prevent multiple threads from writing to the same file simultaneously. Commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images") addressed such a bad scenario. A similar symptom occurs with the following command: $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arm64 Image vmlinuz.efi [ snip ] SORTTAB vmlinux OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image AS arch/arm64/boot/zboot-header.o PAD arch/arm64/boot/vmlinux.bin GZIP arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.o LD arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.efi.elf OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.efi The log "OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image" is displayed twice. It indicates that two threads simultaneously enter arch/arm64/boot/ and write to arch/arm64/boot/Image. It occasionally leads to a build failure: $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arm64 Image vmlinuz.efi [ snip ] SORTTAB vmlinux OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image PAD arch/arm64/boot/vmlinux.bin truncate: Invalid number: 'arch/arm64/boot/vmlinux.bin' make[2]: *** [drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile.zboot:13: arch/arm64/boot/vmlinux.bin] Error 1 make[2]: *** Deleting file 'arch/arm64/boot/vmlinux.bin' make[1]: *** [arch/arm64/Makefile:163: vmlinuz.efi] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2 vmlinuz.efi depends on Image, but such a dependency is not specified in arch/arm64/Makefile.
