Looks indeed better!
But in order to avoid malfunction for the directories where there
is no initcalls you still need to fiddle with $(if $(local-objs-y)
and similar for subdir-y.
The trick is to add only the needed number of ';', no more no less.
Try playing around with:
$> make mrproper allnoconfig
$> make
Another issue that I noticed after submitting the patch was that
due to the fact the 'echo' in gen_build... always create a .builtin_mods
file, there appear a number of lines only listing an empty directory
witin .allbuiltin_mods.
I would recommend to
1) Use sed to get rid of the empty lines,
2) to do something like this in the Makefile:
init/generated-initcalls.c: $(wildcard $(addsuffix /.builtin_mods,\
$(dir $(CORE_FILES) $(LIBS) $(DRIVERS) $(NETWORKS)))
$(CONFIG_SHELL) -e scripts/build-initcalls $< $^ $@
And then move the contatenation of the .builtin_mods files to
build-initcalls.
Giving the above a second thought I do not understand the usage of
"$^" when generating .allbuiltin_mods. Don't you miss initcalls in subdirs
that are not being updated?
I would say that an all or nothing approach is more correct.
Another issue:
If I do:
$> find -name '.builtin_mods' | xargs rm -f
$> make
the .builtin_mods files are not regenerated. Some rule are missing...
