Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
![]() Now, we got a basic ability to test compiler capability in Kconfig. config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR def_bool $(shell,($(CC) -Werror -fstack-protector -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null 2>/dev/null) && echo y || echo n) This works, but it is ugly to repeat this long boilerplate. We want to describe like this: config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR bool default $(cc-option,-fstack-protector) It is straight-forward to add a new function, but I do not like to hard-code specialized functions like that. Hence, here is another feature, user-defined function. This works as a textual shorthand with parameterization. A user-defined function is defined by using the = operator, and can be referenced in the same way as built-in functions. A user-defined function in Make is referenced like $(call my-func,arg1,arg2), but I omitted the 'call' to make the syntax shorter. The definition of a user-defined function contains $(1), $(2), etc. in its body to reference the parameters. It is grammatically valid to pass more or fewer arguments when calling it. We already exploit this feature in our makefiles; scripts/Kbuild.include defines cc-option which takes two arguments at most, but most of the callers pass only one argument. By the way, a variable is supported as a subset of this feature since a variable is "a user-defined function with zero argument". In this context, I mean "variable" as recursively expanded variable. I will add a different flavored variable in the next commit. The code above can be written as follows: [Example Code] success = $(shell,($(1)) >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo y || echo n) cc-option = $(success,$(CC) -Werror $(1) -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null) config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR def_bool $(cc-option,-fstack-protector) [Result] $ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 1 .config CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR=y Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
