Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 15/25] LoongArch: Add dependency between vmlinuz.efi and vmlinux.efi
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 16:07:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231128210750.875945-15-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231128210750.875945-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit d3ec75bc635cb0cb8185b63293d33a3d1b942d22 ]

A common issue in Makefile is a race in parallel building.

You need to be careful to prevent multiple threads from writing to the
same file simultaneously.

Commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not
generate invalid images") addressed such a bad scenario.

A similar symptom occurs with the following command:

  $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=loongarch vmlinux.efi vmlinuz.efi
    [ snip ]
    SORTTAB vmlinux
    OBJCOPY arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.efi
    OBJCOPY arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.efi
    PAD     arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.bin
    GZIP    arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinuz
    OBJCOPY arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinuz.o
    LD      arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinuz.efi.elf
    OBJCOPY arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinuz.efi

The log "OBJCOPY arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.efi" is displayed twice.

It indicates that two threads simultaneously enter arch/loongarch/boot/
and write to arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.efi.

It occasionally leads to a build failure:

  $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=loongarch vmlinux.efi vmlinuz.efi
    [ snip ]
    SORTTAB vmlinux
    OBJCOPY arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.efi
    PAD     arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.bin
  truncate: Invalid number: ‘arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.bin’
  make[2]: *** [drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile.zboot:13:
  arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.bin] Error 1
  make[2]: *** Deleting file 'arch/loongarch/boot/vmlinux.bin'
  make[1]: *** [arch/loongarch/Makefile:146: vmlinuz.efi] Error 2
  make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2

vmlinuz.efi depends on vmlinux.efi, but such a dependency is not
specified in arch/loongarch/Makefile.
