2017-02-13	MIPS: Fix distclean with Makefile.postlink	Matt Redfearn	1	-1/+1
	The postlink Makefile must include include/config/auto.conf to get the kernel configuration variables. But in a clean kernel directory this file does not exist, causing make to bail with the error: arch/mips/Makefile.postlink:10: include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'include/config/auto.conf'. Stop. Makefile:1290: recipe for target 'vmlinuxclean' failed Fix this by using "-include" to not cause a Make error when the file does not exist.

2017-01-03	MIPS: Use Makefile.postlink to insert relocations into vmlinux	Matt Redfearn	1	-0/+35
	When relocatable support for MIPS was merged, there was no support for an architecture to add a postlink step for vmlinux. This meant that only invoking a target within the boot directory, such as uImage, caused the relocations to be inserted into vmlinux. Building just the vmlinux target would result in a relocatable kernel with no relocation information present. Commit fbe6e37dab97 ("kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile") recified this situation, so MIPS can now define a postlink step to add relocation information into vmlinux, and remove the additional steps tacked onto boot targets.
