freebsd kernel with SKQ
a175970362
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.
RAM: 76GiB
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520 @2.27GHz

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
