[PATCHv2] locking/atomics: build atomic headers as required
From: Mark Rutland
Date: Wed Nov 28 2018 - 03:55:09 EST
Andrew and Ingo report that the check-atomics.sh script is simply too
slow to run for every kernel build, and it's impractical to make it
faster without rewriting it in something other than shell.
Rather than committing the generated headers, let's regenerate these
as-required, if we change the data or scripts used to generate the
atomic headers, or when building from a pristine tree.
That ensures they're always up-to-date, allows them to be built in
parallel, and avoid redundant rebuilds, which is a 2-8s saving per
incremental build. Since the results are not committed, it's very
obvious that they should not be modified directly. If we need to
generate more headers in future, it's easy to extend Makefile.genheader
to permit this.
I've verified that this works in the cases we previously had issues with
(out-of-tree builds and where scripts have no execute permissions), and
have tested these cases for both x86_64 and arm64.
The diffstat looks nice, at least...

Hi Ingo,
Would you be happy to pick this up? Andrew and Peter seemed happy with
v1 [1].
To save on ~5100 lines of preimage for the deleted files, I generated
this patch with `git format-patch -D`, which git am will complain about.
I've pushed this to my atomics/regenerate branch [2], based on the tip
locking/core branch, in the hope you're happy to pick it from there. If
you can let me know your preference I can resend this however you
prefer.
Thanks,
Mark.
Since v1 [1]:
* Clarify commit message w.r.t. when headers get regenerated
* Add missing dependencies to Makefile.genheader
* Minor cleanups for Makefile.genheader
