Subject: [PATCH 3/4] tools build: Clean CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for fixdep
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:47:01 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1448480822-19140-4-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1448480822-19140-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>
From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>
Sometimes passing variables to tools/build is dangerous. For example, on
my platform there is a gcc problem (gcc 4.8.1):
It passes the stackprotector-all feature check:
$ gcc -fstack-protector-all -c ./test.c
$ echo $?
0
But requires LDFLAGS support if separate compiling and linking:
$ gcc -fstack-protector-all -c ./test.c
$ gcc ./test.o
./test.o: In function `main':
test.c:(.text+0xb): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
test.c:(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$ gcc -fstack-protector-all ./test.o
$ echo $?
0
$ gcc ./test.o -lssp
$ echo $?
0
$
In this environment building perf throws an error:
$ make
BUILD: Doing 'make -j24' parallel build
config/Makefile:344: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR
config/Makefile:403: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev

CC fixdep.o

fixdep-in.o: In function `main':
/kernel-hydrogen/tools/build/fixdep.c:156: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
/kernel/tools/build/fixdep.c:168: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [fixdep] Error 1
make[1]: *** [fixdep] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
This is because the CFLAGS used in building perf pollutes the CFLAGS
used for fixdep, passing -fstack-protector-all to buiold fixdep which is
obviously not required. Since fixdep is a small host side tool, we
should keep its CFLAGS/LDFLAGS simple and clean.
This patch clears the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS passed when building fixdep, so
such gcc problem won't block the perf build process.
