Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Use an absolute path to unified.h in KBUILD_AFLAGS
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2025 12:29:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250618-arm-expand-include-unified-h-path-v1-1-aef6eb4c44ca@kernel.org> (raw)
After commit d5c8d6e0fa61 ("kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper
flags and language target"), which updated as-instr to use the
'assembler-with-cpp' language option, the Kbuild version of as-instr
always fails internally for arch/arm with
<command-line>: fatal error: asm/unified.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
because '-include' flags are now taken into account by the compiler
driver and as-instr does not have '$(LINUXINCLUDE)', so unified.h is not
found.
This went unnoticed at the time of the Kbuild change because the last
use of as-instr in Kbuild that arch/arm could reach was removed in 5.7
by commit 541ad0150ca4 ("arm: Remove 32bit KVM host support") but a
stable backport of the Kbuild change to before that point exposed this
potential issue if one were to be reintroduced.
Follow the general pattern of '-include' paths throughout the tree and
make unified.h absolute using '$(srctree)' to ensure KBUILD_AFLAGS can
be used independently.
