[PATCH v4 3/3] tools build: Correct bpf fixdep dependencies

From: Brian Norris
Date: Mon Jul 15 2024 - 16:34:51 EST


The dependencies in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile are incorrect. Before we
recurse to build $(BPF_IN_STATIC), we need to build its 'fixdep'
executable.

I can't use the usual shortcut from Makefile.include:

<target>: <sources> fixdep

because its 'fixdep' target relies on $(OUTPUT), and $(OUTPUT) differs
in the parent 'make' versus the child 'make' -- so I imitate it via
open-coding.

I tweak a few $(MAKE) invocations while I'm at it, because
1. I'm adding a new recursive make; and
2. these recursive 'make's print spurious lines about files that are "up
to date" (which isn't normally a feature in Kbuild subtargets) or
"jobserver not available" (see [1])

I also need to tweak the assignment of the OUTPUT variable, so that
relative path builds work. For example, for 'make tools/lib/bpf', OUTPUT
is unset, and is usually treated as "cwd" -- but recursive make will
change cwd and so OUTPUT has a new meaning. For consistency, I ensure
OUTPUT is always an absolute path.

And $(Q) gets a backup definition in tools/build/Makefile.include,
because Makefile.include is sometimes included without
tools/build/Makefile, so the "quiet command" stuff doesn't actually work
consistently without it.

After this change, top-level builds result in an empty grep result from:

$ grep 'cannot find fixdep' $(find tools/ -name '*.cmd')

If we're not using $(MAKE) directly, then we need to use more '+'.

---

Changes in v4:
- update tools/lib/bpf/.gitignore to exclude 'fixdep'
- update tools/lib/bpf `make clean` target for fixdep
- combine $(SHARED_OBJDIR) and $(STATIC_OBJDIR) rules

Changes in v3:
- add Jiri's Acked-by

Changes in v2:
- also fix libbpf shared library rules
- ensure OUTPUT is always set, and always an absolute path
- add backup $(Q) definition in tools/build/Makefile.include
