MIPS: Fix genvdso error on rebuild
The genvdso program modifies the debug and stripped versions of the VDSOs in place, and errors if the modification has already taken place. Unfortunately this means that a rebuild which tries to rerun genvdso to generate vdso*-image.c without also rebuilding vdso.so.dbg (for example if genvdso.c is modified) hits a build error like this: arch/mips/vdso/genvdso 'arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg' already contains a '.MIPS.abiflags' section This is fixed by reorganising the rules such that unmodified .so files have a .raw suffix, and these are copied in the same rule that runs genvdso on the copies. I.e. previously we had: cmd_vdsold: link objects -> vdso.so.dbg cmd_genvdso: strip vdso.so.dbg -> vdso.so run genvdso -> vdso-image.c and modify vdso.so.dbg and vdso.so in place Now we have: cmd_vdsold: link objects -> vdso.so.dbg.raw a new cmd_objcopy based strip rule (inspired by ARM): strip vdso.so.dbg.raw -> vdso.so.raw cmd_genvdso: copy vdso.so.dbg.raw -> vdso.so.dbg copy vdso.so.raw -> vdso.so run genvdso -> vdso-image.c and modify vdso.so.dbg and vdso.so in place Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/13250/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
