Subject: [PATCH v2 11/21] kbuild: avoid re-running compiler and linker probes
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:22:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914-build-speedup-v2-11-39817ec5db23@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914-build-speedup-v2-0-39817ec5db23@kernel.org>
Each kernel make invocation begins with ~30 compiler and linker runs each
of which performs duplicate probe for a number of compiler and linker
options.
This is useless work - the compiler and its version is known, so use these
to determine which options are available, once.
A convention already exists for this - CC_HAS_xxx, LD_HAS_xxx in Kconfig
files (for example, CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY), so convert these probes to Kconfig
options where appropriate.
This change avoids a sublte issue with ppc32 (big endian) - clang doesn't
accept -fno-stack-clash-protection on this sub-target, so keep this option
in the Makefile.
With gcc and clang, defconfig and allmodconfig, the recorded command
lines are unchanged, a build with nothing to do rebuilds nothing and W=1
continues to function correctly.
Doing this improves all builds, but has a particularly positive impact on
no-op builds (builds where nothing has changed).
Whole build, 128-thread Threadripper 9980X, best of N runs:
before after delta
