Subject: [PATCH] ARM: zImage: Skip relinking if nothing changes
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:00:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1313175602-21834-1-git-send-email-sboyd@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4E457682.5020107@codeaurora.org>
lib1funcs.S is reshipped even though the file hasn't changed
because the make rule is marked with FORCE. According to Sam
Ravnborg:
The FORCE prerequisite will tell make to always execute
the command.
But we only want to execute the command if:
1) $(obj)/lib1funcs.S is missing
2) or $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/lib1funcs.S is not
older then $(obj)/lib1funcs.S
So dropping FORCE should be a safe thing to do.
This fixes the shipped problem, but we still have to reassemble
lib1funcs.S because it isn't part of $targets. Add
lib1funcs.{S,o} to $targets to avoid relinking the compressed
vmlinux if nothing changes.
