Now that OBJS has grown an OBJS_SRCS_FILTER variable, use this variable
in the computation of BCOBJS and LLOBJS too. Also move BCOBJS and LLOBJS
computation to be next to the OBJS computation: this should both make
the parallel structure clearer and serve to remind people changing OBJS
that parallel changes are required in BCOBJS and LLOBJS.
A side effect of this change is that BCOBJS and LLOBJS will be available
even when LLVM_LINK has not been defined, but that seems like a positive
change: there's no reason we can't ask "what bitcode files would you
generate" just because we can't link those files together into a
complete bitcode representation of a binary or library.

Some makefiles do reachover builds.
In some cases it is convenient to list subdirs of the distribution
in SRCS.
It is not very convenient, or always even desirable to have corresponding
subdirs in .OBJDIR, so OBJS_SRCS_FILTER allows the makefile to choose.
The default value 'R' matches existing practice.
But a makefile can set OBJS_SRCS_FILTER= T (the R gets added by
bsd.init.mk) to avoid the need for subdirs in .OBJDIR

Also disable this if NO_SAFE_LIBINSTALL is defined.
There is little harm in always using -S and it fixes several issues:
- A race during 'make libraries' where, for example, libgcc_s is being
installed while another library is trying to link against it. This is
possible because libgcc_s is connected in both _prereq_libs and
_startup_libs. The first build (_prereq_libs) sets MK_PROFILE=no
while the 2nd pass (_startup_libs) enables MK_PROFILE. Thus the
libgcc_s library *is* present in WORLDTMP for other libraries to
link to, so serializing further items in _startup_libs is not
required. Just ensuring that libgcc_s is installed atomically (via
rename(2)) is enough. [1]
- Installation to a running system where some library that cannot be
detected, copied and used from the temporary INSTALLTMP with LD_LIBRARY_PATH
that the build itself uses for installation. Such an example is having the
install an NSS module for user lookups that install(1) uses while
concurrently installing the module in another process. This is not
a problem for the FreeBSD base build but can be for downstream
vendors. While this is a very specific case, installation to a
running system with non-atomic library installation is prone to many
problems. A further step still is to install in proper dependency
ordering.

== Rationale ==
r295380 introduced "make check" and consolidated means for running
test code in an attempt to simplify running tests. One could either
install files/libraries/programs and run "make check", or run "make check"
with an explicit CHECKDIR, e.g., `make check CHECKDIR=$(make -V.OBJDIR)``.
One criticism that was received is that "make check" should be run with
the intent of making dev->test->commit easier, which means that the target
audience's workflow should be developers. One developer pattern available
in other opensource projects is to run test code from a developer sandbox,
instead of installing to a system.
== Method ==
This approach is slightly different from the standard approach, in the sense
that it builds and installs into a deterministic directory under .OBJDIR (as I call it,
the "sandbox"), then runs "make check" against that. In the event the test
run is successful, the deterministic directory is removed to save space.
== Approach ==
bsd.lib.mk, bsd.prog.mk:
To support this functionality, a new variable `HAS_TESTS` is being added.
HAS_TESTS enables appropriate behavior with bsd.lib.mk and bsd.prog.mk, as
follows:
- Add "make check" as an available target from the directory.
- Pass down appropriate variables via ${TESTS_ENV}, i.e.,
${TESTS_LD_LIBRARY_PATH} and ${TESTS_PATH}.
One should add "HAS_TESTS" to directories containing tests in them, e.g. from
bin/sh/Makefile,
HAS_TESTS=
SUBDIR.${MK_TESTS}+= tests
HAS_TESTS doesn't automatically add the tests subdirectory for flexibility
reasons.
bsd.opts.mk, src.opts.mk:
- The knob ${MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX} has been added, both to explicitly
direct (internally) when to set a deterministic ${DESTDIR} and to also allow
users to disable this behavior globally, i.e., via src.conf.
- MK_TESTS has been promoted from src.opts.mk to bsd.opts.mk to leverage
syntactic sugar for having MK_TESTS be a dependency for
MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX, but to also ensure that src.opts.mk isn't required
to use suite.test.mk (which is a dependency of bsd.test.mk).
suite.test.mk:
- beforecheck behavior (when MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX is enabled) is modified
from a no-op to:
-- Build.
-- Run "make hierarchy" on the sandbox dir.
-- Install the tests/files to the sandbox dir.
- aftercheck behavior (when MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX is enabled) is modified
from a no-op to:
-- Remove the sandbox dir.
Again, because the dependency order set in bsd.test.mk is
beforecheck -> check -> aftercheck, "make check" will not be run unless
"beforecheck" completes successfully, and "aftercheck" will not be run unless
"beforecheck" and "check" complete successfully.
== Caveats ==
- This target must either be run with MK_INSTALL_AS_USER or as root. Otherwise
it will fail when running "make install" as the default user/group for many
makefiles when calling INSTALL is root/wheel.
- This target must be run from a suitable top-level directory. For example,
running tests from `tests/sys/fs/tmpfs` won't work, but `tests/sys/fs` will,
because `tests/sys/fs/tmpfs` relies on files installed by `tests/sys/fs`.
- Running MK_INSTALL_AS_USER may introduce determinism issues. However, using
it could identify deficiences in tests in terms of needing to be run as
root, which are not properly articulated in the test requirements.
- The doesn't negate the need for running "make installworld" and
"make checkworld", etc. Again, this just is intended to simplify the
dev->test->commit workflow.
== Cleanup done ==
- CHECKDIR is removed; one can use "MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX=no" to enable
"legacy" (r295380) behavior.

A simplified example of the library targets with WITH_DEBUG_FILES is:
libgeom.so.5: libgeom.so.5.full
cp libgeom.so.5.full libgeom.so.5
libgeom.so.5.full:
ln -s libgeom.so.5 libgeom.so
cc -o libgeom.so.5.full *.o
Before, or without, WITH_DEBUG_FILES it is:
libgeom.so.5:
ln -s libgeom.so.5 libgeom.so
cc -o libgeom.so.5 *.o
The problem is that bmake considers the link source for the libgeom.so
link in the libgeom.so.5.full target as being a dependency for
libgeom.so.5.full. That resolves to libgeom.so.5. Thus a cyclic
dependency is created. The result of this is that if libgeom.so.5 is
created with a newer timestamp than libgeom.so.5.full, then
libgeom.so.5.full will be rebuilt on the next build. This causes a
chain reaction of everything in the build relinking, or hitting the
problem itself.
Moving the link creation to the target that actually creates
libgeom.so.5 fixes the problem. The simplest fix here is to just
duplicate the logic.

Adding .META to targets-to-build will ensure that they will rebuild if there

Adding it to all SUFFIXES and objects ensures that at least objects will

This overrides the cross-compiler's default sysroot to use the WORLD32's
sysroot for building the lib32 libraries. Previously the cross-compiler
would default the sysroot to the 64bit WORLDTMP and -B/-L/-isystem flags
were used to build using the lib32 files. This leads to multiple issues
discussed later. Some extra headers are now needed to be staged since the
64bit WORLDTMP is not referenced at all for headers. The 64bit WORLDTMP
is still used via PATH for build tools. Overriding the default
target/arch is retained in the CC/CXX overrides.
This allows reverting the LDSCRIPT rewriting in installworld from r296921 and
r235122, thus allowing read-only objdirs to work for installing again.
This removes the need for _LDSCRIPTROOT.
This allows progressing the change to always use --sysroot for the build

Specifically this fixes /usr/lib/libc.so stripping the paths to the
libraries. The reason for this in r266227 was both likely because ld(1) did
not fully respect --sysroot until r291226 and because of the lib32
build. The lib32 build does not use --sysroot into the /usr/lib32 path,
rather it only uses -L and -B into the /usr/lib32 path and --sysroot
into the normal (64bit) /usr/lib. The _LDSCRIPTROOT was added with
the ldscript support in bsd.lib.mk so that it builds a 32-bit-sysrooted pathed
ldscript in the object directory and then installs a normal unprefixed
version in installworld. This commit also fixes the rebuild during
install which was broken in r266227. This commit would break DIRDEPS_BUILD
build of lib32 but it does not currently have a way to build it anyhow.
For example, before this change we had in /usr/lib/libc.so:
GROUP ( libc.so.7 libc_nonshared.a libssp_nonshared.a )
Now it is restored to pre-r266227:
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.7 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a )
The motivation for this is in testing of lld.
From emaste:
lld does not have built-in search paths (e.g. /lib, /usr/lib) and relies on
-L arguments passed by the caller. As the linker is nearly always invoked
from the clang driver this is fine other than the fact that /usr/lib/libc.so
is an ldscript that refers to libc.so.7 which is in /lib, not /usr/lib.

Rather than depend on .depend not existing, check the actual

FAST_DEPEND may never have a .depend file. Not having one means all of the

what we wanted. It also means that if a .depend is generated before a build

Similar to the original reason for these dependency hints to be added,
in r124637, the missing-dependency file case can lead to building of the
wrong source.
A clear example of this is in gnu/lib/libstdc++ where the .PATH contains
both contrib/gcc and contrib/libstdc++/src.
contrib/gcc has a debug.c.
contrib/libstdc++/src has a debug.cc.
When building for the objects of debug.o, debug.So, and debug.po, it is
ambiguous for which src file to use due to the suffix transformation
rules, even though the proper one is listed first in .PATH.
This was normally avoided due to these dependency hints for the initial
build, and then mkdep would add an explicit 'debug.o: debug.cc'
dependency into the .depend file. WITH_FAST_DEPEND does not generate
the .depend file with these, but puts them into .depend.debug.o instead.
Rather than extending the exists() check to each object's .depend.*
file, just enable the hint when when using WITH_FAST_DEPEND. It fixes
the problem and seems to be safe enough to use since it is mapping SRCS
back to OBJS, rather than letting make make assumptions from OBJS to
SRCS.
A similar check mapping objects to headers is present in some mk files
but was not extended here for FAST_DEPEND since it has not yet been
found to be a problem.

ccache is mostly beneficial for frequent builds where -DNO_CLEAN is not
used to achieve a safe pseudo-incremental build. This is explained in
more detail upstream [1] [2]. It incurs about a 20%-28% hit to populate the
cache, but with a full cache saves 30-50% in build times. When combined with
the WITH_FAST_DEPEND feature it saves up to 65% since ccache does cache the
resulting dependency file, which it does not do when using mkdep(1)/'CC
-E'. Stats are provided at the end of this message.
This removes the need to modify /etc/make.conf with the CC:= and CXX:=
lines which conflicted with external compiler support [3] (causing the
bootstrap compiler to not be built which lead to obscure failures [4]),
incorrectly invoked ccache in various stages, required CCACHE_CPP2 to avoid
Clang errors with parenthesis, and did not work with META_MODE.
The option name was picked to match the existing option in ports. This
feature is available for both in-src and out-of-src builds that use
/usr/share/mk.
Linking, assembly compiles, and pre-processing avoid using ccache since it is
only overhead. ccache does nothing special in these modes, although there is
no harm in calling it for them.
CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK is set to 'content' when using the in-tree bootstrap
compiler to hash the content of the compiler binary to determine if it
should be a cache miss. For external compilers the 'mtime' option is used
as it is more efficient and likely to be correct. Future work may optimize the
'content' check using the same checks as whether a bootstrap compiler is needed
to be built.
The CCACHE_CPP2 pessimization is currently default in our devel/ccache
port due to Clang requiring it. Clang's -Wparentheses-equality,
-Wtautological-compare, and -Wself-assign warnings do not mix well with
compiling already-pre-processed code that may have expanded macros that
trigger the warnings. GCC has so far not had this issue so it is allowed to
disable the CCACHE_CPP2 default in our port.
Sharing a cache between multiple checkouts, or systems, is explained in
the ccache manual. Sharing a cache over NFS would likely not be worth
it, but syncing cache directories between systems may be useful for an
organization. There is also a memcached backend available [5]. Due to using
an object directory outside of the source directory though you will need to
ensure that both are in the same prefix and all users use the same layout. A
possible working layout is as follows:
Source: /some/prefix/src1
Source: /some/prefix/src2
Source: /some/prefix/src3
Objdir: /some/prefix/obj
Environment: CCACHE_BASEDIR='${SRCTOP:H}' MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='${SRCTOP:H}/obj'
This will use src*/../obj as the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and tells ccache to replace
all absolute paths to be relative. Using something like this is required due
to -I and -o flags containing both SRC and OBJDIR absolute paths that ccache
adds into its hash for the object without CCACHE_BASEDIR.
distcc can be hooked into by setting CCACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/bin/distcc.
I have not personally tested this and assume it will not mix well with
using the bootstrap compiler.
The cache from buildworld can be reused in a subdir by first running
'make buildenv' (from r290424).
Note that the cache is currently different depending on whether -j is
used or not due to ccache enabling -fdiagnostics-color automatically if
stderr is a TTY, which bmake only does if not using -j.
The system I used for testing was:
WITNESS
Build options: -j20 WITH_LLDB=yes WITH_DEBUG_FILES=yes WITH_CCACHE_BUILD=yes

the dramatic time savings with a full cache.

This speeds up buildworld by 16% on my system and buildkernel by 35%.
Rather than calling mkdep(1), which is just a wrapper around 'cc -E',
use the modern -MD -MT -MF flags to gather and generate dependencies during
compilation. This flag was introduced in GCC "a long time ago", in GCC 3.0,
and is also supported by Clang. (It appears that ICC also supports this but I
do not have access to test it). This avoids running the preprocessor *twice*
for every build, in both 'make depend' and 'make all'. This is especially
noticeable when using ccache since it does not cache preprocessor results from
mkdep(1) / 'cc -E', but still speeds up compilation with the -MD flags.
For 'make depend' a tree-walk is still done to ensure that all DPSRCS
are generated when expected, and that beforedepend/afterdepend and
_EXTRADEPEND are all still respected. In time this may change but for now
I've been conservative. The time for a tree-walk with -j combined with
SUBDIR_PARALLEL is not significant. For example, it takes about 9 seconds
with -j15 to walk all of src/ for 'make depend' now on my system.
A .depend file is still generated with the various rules that apply to
the final target, or custom rules. Otherwise there are now
per-built-object-file .depend files, such as .depend.filename.o. These
are included directly by make rather than populating .depend with a loop
and .depend lines, which only added overhead to the now almost-NOP 'make
depend' phase.
Before this I experimented with having mkdep(1) called in parallel per-file.
While this improved the kernel and lib/libc 'make depend' phase, it resulted
in slower build times overall.
The -M flags are removed from CFLAGS when linking since they have no effect.
Enabling this by default, for src or out-of-src, can be done once more testing
has been done, such as a ports exp-run, and with more compilers.
The system I used for testing was:
WITNESS
Build options: -j20 WITH_LLDB=yes WITH_DEBUG_FILES=yes WITH_FAST_DEPEND=yes
DISK: ZFS 3-way mirror with very slow disks using SSD l2arc/log.
The arc was fully populated with src tree files.

Relnotes: yes
Before this, if a file was installed to DESTDIR/some/dir and that directory
was missing due to not having ran 'make distrib-dirs' yet, the file would
be installed as 'some/dir'. For something like bsd.incs.mk with INCLUDEDIR
being a sub-directory of /usr/include, this could result in all of the headers
being installed to a file rather than getting a directory of them.
Now it will error that the file/directory does not exist rather than hide
the issue.
Another option being discussed is to implement GNU's install -D flag which
would auto create any missing directories.
This is a mitigation of the problem. The proper order to the build is to
run 'make distrib-dirs' first, but that can be forgotten if building from
a sub-directory after updating the source code to the latest revision.
