• b1e0d8b70   kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax ... Browse Code »

  The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
  "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
  is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
  such as icecream do expect.

  This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
  recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
  miscompilations.

  Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
  investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
  incorrect -x parameter syntax.

• 0484f1299   kbuild: fix buglet in gcc-version.sh ... Browse Code »

  Greg Schafer reported:
  ====
  $make mrproper
  scripts/gcc-version.sh: [[: command not found

  This is on a very old host with an ancient bash as /bin/sh. But I have
  CONFIG_SHELL set and pointing to a modern bash. Something is wrong.

  This doesn't happen with 2.6.23
  ====

  Fixed using a more common string equality test.

• de47062a1   kbuild: improve scripts/gcc-version.sh output a bit when called without args ... Browse Code »

  Currently, if you call scripts/gcc-version.sh without arguments it will
  generate this output :

  $ sh scripts/gcc-version.sh
  scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 12: [: =: unary operator expected
  scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 16: -E: command not found
  scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 17: -E: command not found
  0000

  Not too pretty. I believe this is an improvement :

  $ sh scripts/gcc-version.sh
  Error: No compiler specified.
  Usage:
  scripts/gcc-version.sh

  Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
  even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
  archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
  3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
  git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
  infrastructure for it.

  Let it rip!
