From f1089c92da791034af73478159626007cba7f092 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 28 May 2018 18:21:39 +0900 Subject: kbuild: remove CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE support Kbuild provides a couple of ways to specify CROSS_COMPILE: [1] Command line [2] Environment [3] arch/*/Makefile (only some architectures) [4] CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE [4] is problematic for the compiler capability tests in Kconfig. CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE allows users to change the compiler prefix from 'make menuconfig', etc. It means, the compiler options would have to be all re-calculated everytime CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE is changed. To avoid complexity and performance issues, I'd like to evaluate the shell commands statically, i.e. only parsing Kconfig files. I guess the majority is [1] or [2]. Currently, there are only 5 defconfig files that specify CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE. arch/arm/configs/lpc18xx_defconfig arch/hexagon/configs/comet_defconfig arch/nds32/configs/defconfig arch/openrisc/configs/or1ksim_defconfig arch/openrisc/configs/simple_smp_defconfig Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Kees Cook --- Makefile | 3 --- init/Kconfig | 9 --------- 2 files changed, 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 02202d324962..58afa07bdf40 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -316,12 +316,9 @@ SUBARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/x86/ -e s/x86_64/x86/ \ # CROSS_COMPILE can be set on the command line # make CROSS_COMPILE=ia64-linux- # Alternatively CROSS_COMPILE can be set in the environment. -# A third alternative is to store a setting in .config so that plain -# "make" in the configured kernel build directory always uses that. # Default value for CROSS_COMPILE is not to prefix executables # Note: Some architectures assign CROSS_COMPILE in their arch/*/Makefile ARCH ?= $(SUBARCH) -CROSS_COMPILE ?= $(CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE:"%"=%) # Architecture as present in compile.h UTS_MACHINE := $(ARCH) diff --git a/init/Kconfig b/init/Kconfig index 18b151f0ddc1..15aae32e0719 100644 --- a/init/Kconfig +++ b/init/Kconfig @@ -54,15 +54,6 @@ config INIT_ENV_ARG_LIMIT Maximum of each of the number of arguments and environment variables passed to init from the kernel command line. - -config CROSS_COMPILE - string "Cross-compiler tool prefix" - help - Same as running 'make CROSS_COMPILE=prefix-' but stored for - default make runs in this kernel build directory.
