kbuild: remove --include-dir MAKEFLAG from top Makefile
I added $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles in the following commits:
- 3204a7fb98a3 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles")
- d82856395505 ("kbuild: do not require sub-make for separate output tree builds")
They were a preparation for removing --include-dir flag.
I have never thought --include-dir useful. Rather, it _is_ harmful.
For example, run the following commands:
$ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
Error: kernelrelease not valid - run 'make prepare' to update it
UPD include/config/kernel.release
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
The first command configures the source tree for x86. The next command
tries to build ARM device trees in the separate foo/ directory - this
must stop because the directory foo/ has not been configured yet.
However, due to --include-dir=$(abs_srctree), the top Makefile includes
the wrong include/config/auto.conf from the source tree and continues
building. Kbuild traverses the directory tree, but of course it does
not work correctly. The Error message is also pointless - 'make prepare'
does not help at all for fixing the issue.
This commit fixes more arch Makefile, and finally removes --include-dir
from the top Makefile.
There are more breakages under drivers/, but I do not volunteer to fix
them all. I just moved --include-dir to drivers/Makefile.
With this commit, the second command will stop with a sensible message.
$ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd
