It requires one turd in arch/powerpc/lib/memcpy_64.S, but it's pretty harmless IMHO. We are sailing very close to the wind with the feature macros. We define them to nothing, which currently means we get a few extra nops and include the unaligned calls. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt cscope reports error when generating the cross-reference database: $ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS=all O=./obj-cscope/ cscope GEN cscope cscope: cannot find file /home/ydroneaud/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copyuser_power7.S cscope: cannot find file /home/ydroneaud/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/memcpy_64.S cscope: cannot find file /home/ydroneaud/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/memcpy_power7.S cscope: cannot find file /home/ydroneaud/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copyuser_64.S And when calling cscope from ./obj-cscope/ directory, it reports errors too. Hopefully it doesn't stop it from working, so I'm still able to use cscope to browse kernel sources. It's a rather uncommon side effect of having (for the first time ?) sources files as symlinks: looking for symlinks in the kernel sources returns only: $ find . -type l ./arch/mips/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings ./arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dts ./arch/powerpc/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings ./arch/metag/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings ./arch/arm/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings ./tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copyuser_power7.S ./tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/memcpy_64.S ./tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/memcpy_power7.S ./tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copyuser_64.S ./obj-cscope/source ./Documentation/DocBook/vidioc-g-sliced-vbi-cap.xml ./Documentation/DocBook/vidioc-decoder-cmd.xml ... ./Documentation/DocBook/media-func-ioctl.xml ./Documentation/DocBook/vidioc-enumoutput.xml So one can wonder if having symlinked sources files is an expected supported feature for kbuild and all the various kernel tools/infrastructure ? Regarding cscope specifically, it does not support symlink, and it's the expected behavior according to the bug reports I was able to find: #214 cscope ignores symlinks to files http://sourceforge.net/p/cscope/bugs/214/ #229 -I options doesn't handle symbolic link http://sourceforge.net/p/cscope/bugs/229/ #247 cscope: cannot find file http://sourceforge.net/p/cscope/bugs/247/ #252 cscope: cannot find file *** http://sourceforge.net/p/cscope/bugs/252/ #261 Regression - version 15.7a does not follow symbolic links http://sourceforge.net/p/cscope/bugs/261/ Regards. -- Yann Droneaud OPTEYA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
