[PATCH] powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y

[PATCH] powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y

[Masahiro Yamada]

crtsavres.o is linked to modules. However, as explained in commit
d0e628cd817f ("kbuild: doc: clarify the difference between extra-y
and always-y"), 'make modules' does not build extra-y.

For example, the following command fails:

  $ make ARCH=powerpc LLVM=1 KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1 mrproper ps3_defconfig modules
    [snip]
    LD [M]  arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko
  ld.lld: error: cannot open arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file or directory
  make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modfinal:56: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] Error 1
  make[2]: *** [Makefile:1844: modules] Error 2
  make[1]: *** [/home/masahiro/workspace/linux-kbuild/Makefile:350: __build_one_by_one] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2

Thanks. Is this the correct Fixes tag?

Fixes: d0e628cd817f ("powerpc/64: Do not link crtsavres.o in vmlinux")

Hmm, looks like LLD might just do this now automatically for us
too without --save-restore-funcs (https://reviews.llvm.org/D79977).
But we probably still need it for older versions, so we still need
your patch.

I am finding a different commit ID:

commit baa25b571a168aff5a13bfdc973f1229e2b12b63
Author: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date:   Fri May 12 01:56:49 2017 +1000

    powerpc/64: Do not link crtsavres.o in vmlinux
     
    The 64-bit linker creates save/restore functions on demand with final
    links, so vmlinux does not require crtsavres.o.

Yeah, I think the correct tag is:


Fixes: baa25b571a16 ("powerpc/64: Do not link crtsavres.o in vmlinux")

Hi,

I'm still seeing the error of crtsavres.o missing when building external modules
after "make LLVM=1 modules_prepare". Should it be built also in archprepare?

Thanks,
Jan

Or modules_prepare?

Please note 'make ARCH=powerpc clean' will remove  '*.o'
files globally.


Kbuild promised you would still be able to compile external modules
after 'make clean' (until you run 'make mrproper'), but
that would not work in this case.

So, the external module support for powerpc
is broken in another way, already.


Perhaps, an easy workaround might be to change
the suffix, but I did not test it at all.

mv arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o.do_not_remove_me

[PATCH] powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y

[Masahiro Yamada]

crtsavres.o is linked to modules, but as commit d0e628cd817f ("kbuild:
doc: clarify the difference between extra-y and always-y") explained,
'make modules' does not build extra-y.

The following command fails:

  $ make ARCH=powerpc LLVM=1 mrproper ps3_defconfig modules
    [snip]
    LD [M]  arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko
  ld.lld: error: cannot open arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file or directory
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modfinal:61: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] Error 1
