the implementation stuff in a variable CTFCONVERT_RUN
- introduce an OBJECT_TARGET variable that contains the output object file
- when we need to run ctfconvert, go through an intermediate ${.TARGET}.o
file, instead of writing directly to ${.TARGET} and then overwriting
${.TARGET} with ctfconvert. This avoids build failures after a build
got interrupted (the "partially built from C" scourge).
Otherwise, object files compiled with -mlongcall contain relocation types
referring PLT, which our in-kernel linker cannot handle.
This ends up with failure in kernel module load with
``kobj_reloc: unexpected relocation type 31'' (31 == R_PPC_PLT16_HA here).
See descriptions for -mlongcall in gcc(1) of GCC9 for more details.
right now. new address-of-packed-member and format-overflow
warnings have new GCC_NO_ADDR_OF_PACKED_MEMBER amd
GCC_NO_FORMAT_OVERFLOW variables to remove these warnings.
apply to a bunch of the tree. mostly, these are real bugs that
should be fixed, but in many cases, only by removing the 'packed'
attribute from some structure that doesn't really need it. (i
looked at many different ones, and while perhaps 60-80% were
already properly aligned, it wasn't clear to me that the uses
were always coming from sane data vs network alignment, so it
doesn't seem safe to remove packed without careful research for
each affect struct.) clang already warned (and was not erroring)
for many of these cases, but gcc picked up dozens more.
add method to transform both the "__foo__" and "@foo@"
version of various transforms, while upstream are converting
from the former to the latter it seems. convert all the
common transforms to this method.
expand the grep for .pc files to look for missing @foo@
fixes to the man page genration, and ignore a few things
(thanks uwe@ - .IN lines, and stuff between tab(@) and .TE.)
xorg-server __default_font_path__ -> @default_font_path@,
and xfree86 transform xconfigdir, xkbdir, and modulepath
using new both method.
