Subject: [PATCH v3] Makefile: add a non-.PHONY "sparse-incr" target
Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2021 03:15:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-v3-1.1-b6ba99ca4cc-20210928T011319Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <patch-v2-1.1-059829f2195-20210923T000654Z-avarab@gmail.com>
Add a "sparse-incr" target to compliment the existing "sparse"
target. The new "sparse-incr" target doesn't depend on "FORCE", and
will create empty *.sp files as markers for the corresponding *.c file
having been checked.
Those *.sp files in turn depend on the *.o files, so we can be certain
that the dependencies are correct by either depending on all header
files, or under "COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=yes" the headers the
relevant file needs.
The "sparse-incr" target is slower on a fresh git.git checkout, as it
depends on the creation of the *.o files. But once the *.o and *.sp
files are built it's able to incrementally update them. It's thus
viable to run:
make all sparse-incr
As part of a regular edit/compile/test cycle, or as a fast "git rebase
--exec" command.
On my box (with -j8) the initial run of the "sparse" target takes ~5s,
but ~16s for "sparse-incr". When using CC="ccache cc" the difference
between the two is negligible.
Running e.g.:
make grep.sp
Will behave the same way and will always re-run "cgcc", we'll only use
the new dependency chain of "sparse-incr" is part of the MAKECMDGOALS.
I think it would make sense to just remove the "sparse" target
entirely, and to say that anyone who cares about the speed of an
initial "sparse" run should use "CC='ccache cc'". But per [1] and [2]
there are existing users of "make sparse" and "make <file>.sp" that
prefer the current semantics.
I.e. per [2] want "make <file>.sp" to *always* run "sparse", even
though a corresponding "make <file>.o" would only re-run the "real"
compilation if needed. I don't think that makes any sense, especially
in combination with DEVELOPER=1 which'll ensure that -Werror would
have made any errors in a "make <file>.sp" sticky.
But since we have existing users relying on it, and I don't really
care at al about "make <file>.sp", I just want an incremental target I
can use, let's create this new "make sparse-incr" instead of "fixing"
the existing "make sparse".
See 0bcd9ae85d7 (sparse: Fix errors due to missing target-specific
variables, 2011-04-21) for the modern implementation of the "sparse"
target being changed here.
Appending to $@ without a move is OK here because we're using the
.DELETE_ON_ERROR Makefile feature. See 7b76d6bf221 (Makefile: add and
use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag, 2021-06-29). GNU make ensures that on
error this file will be removed.

## Commit message ##
- Makefile: make the "sparse" target non-.PHONY
-
- Change the "sparse" target and its *.sp dependencies to be
- non-.PHONY. Before this change "make sparse" would take ~5s to re-run
- all the *.c files through "cgcc", after it it'll create an empty *.sp
- file sitting alongside the *.c file, only if the *.c file or its
- dependencies are newer than the *.sp is the *.sp re-made.
-
- We ensure that the recursive dependencies are correct by depending on
- the *.o file, which in turn will have correct dependencies by either
- depending on all header files, or under
- "COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=yes" the headers it needs.
-
- This means that a plain "make sparse" is much slower, as we'll now
- need to make the *.o files just to create the *.sp files, but
- incrementally creating the *.sp files is *much* faster and less
- verbose, it thus becomes viable to run "sparse" along with "all" as
- e.g. "git rebase --exec 'make all sparse'".
-
- On my box with -j8 "make sparse" was fast before, or around 5 seconds,
- now it only takes that long the first time, and the common case is
- <100ms, or however long it takes GNU make to stat the *.sp file and
- see that all the corresponding *.c file and its dependencies are
- older.

- It is critical that we use -Wsparse-error here, otherwise the error
- would only show up once, but we'd successfully create the empty *.sp
- file, and running a second time wouldn't show the error. I'm therefore
- not putting it into SPARSE_FLAGS or SP_EXTRA_FLAGS, it's not optional,
- the Makefile logic won't behave properly without it.
