2019-03-17	Revert "modsign: Abort modules_install when signing fails"	Douglas Anderson	1	-1/+1
	This reverts commit caf6fe91ddf62a96401e21e9b7a07227440f4185. The commit was fine but is no longer needed as of commit 3a2429e1faf4 ("kbuild: change if_changed_rule for multi-line recipe"). Let's go back to using ";" to be consistent.

2019-03-17	kbuild: Make NOSTDINC_FLAGS a simply expanded variable	Douglas Anderson	1	-1/+1
	During a simple no-op (nothing changed) build I saw 39 invocations of the C compiler with the argument "-print-file-name=include". We don't need to call the C compiler 39 times for this--one time will suffice. Let's change NOSTDINC_FLAGS to a simply expanded variable to avoid this since there doesn't appear to be any reason it should be recursively expanded. On my build this shaved ~400 ms off my "no-op" build. Note that the recursive expansion seems to date back to the (really old) commit e8f5bdb02ce0 ("[PATCH] Makefile include path ordering"). It's a little unclear to me if the point of that patch was to switch the variable to be recursively expanded (which it did) or to avoid directly assigning to NOSTDINC_FLAGS (AKA to switch to +=) because someone else (out of tree?) was setting it. I presume later since if the only goal was to switch to recursive expansion the patch would have just removed the ":".

2019-03-17	kbuild: deb-pkg: avoid implicit effects	Arseny Maslennikov	1	-1/+4
	* The man page for dpkg-source(1) notes: > -b, --build directory [format-specific-parameters] > Build a source package (--build since dpkg 1.17.14). > <...> > > dpkg-source will build the source package with the first > format found in this ordered list: the format indicated > with the --format command line option, the format > indicated in debian/source/format, “1.0”. The fallback > to “1.0” is deprecated and will be removed at some point > in the future, you should always document the desired > source format in debian/source/format. See section > SOURCE PACKAGE FORMATS for an extensive description of > the various source package formats. Thus it would be more foolproof to explicitly use 1.0 (as we always did) than to rely on dpkg-source's defaults. * In a similar vein, debian/rules is not made executable by mkdebian, and dpkg-source warns about that but still silently fixes the file. Let's be explicit once again. Signed-off-by: Arseny Maslennikov <ar@cs.msu.ru> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
