Subject: [PATCH 1/4] kbuild: Create new CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o option
Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 21:30:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080515013705.027387767@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080515013028.056366414@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: kbuild-add-cflags-remove.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1851 bytes --]

We currently have a way to add special CFLAGS to code, but we do not have a 
way to remove them if needed.

With the case of ftrace, some files should simply not be profiled. Adding
the -pg flag to these files is simply a waste, and adding "notrace" to each
and every function is ugly.

Currently we put in "Makefile turd" [1] to stop the compiler from adding -pg
to certain files. This was clumsy and awkward.

This patch now adds the revese of CFLAGS_(basename).o with
CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o.  This allows developers to prevent certain
CFLAGS from being used to compile files. For example, we can now do

CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg

to remove the -pg option from the string.o file in the lib directory.

Note: a space delimited list of options may be added to the REMOVE macro.

[1] - what David Miller called the workaronud to remove -pg
