kbuild: change if_changed_rule for multi-line recipe
The 'define' ... 'endef' directive is useful to confine a series of shell commands into a single macro: define foo [action1] [action2] [action3] endif Each action is executed in a separate subshell. However, rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S in scripts/Makefile.build are written as follows (with a trailing semicolon in each cmd_*): define rule_cc_o_c [action1] ; \ [action2] ; \ [action3] ; endef All shell commands are concatenated with '; \' so that it looks like a single command from the Makefile point of view. This does not exploit the benefits of 'define' ... 'endef' form because a single shell command can be more simply written, like this: rule_cc_o_c = \ [action1] ; \ [action2] ; \ [action3] ; I guess the intention for the command concatenation was to let the '@set -e' in if_changed_rule cover all the commands. We can improve the readability by moving '@set -e' to the 'cmd' macro. The combo of $(call echo-cmd,*) $(cmd_*) in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S have been replaced with $(call cmd,*). The trailing back-slashes have been removed. Here is a note about the performance: the commands in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S were previously executed all together in a single subshell, but now each line in a separate subshell. This means Make will spawn extra subshells [1]. I measured the build performance for x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS and I saw slight performance regression, but I believe code readability and maintainability wins. [1] Precisely, GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special characters are found in the command line and omitting the subshell will not change the behavior.
