kbuild: reintroduce ALLSOURCE_ARCHS support for tags/cscope 2009-01-07T20:44:21+00:00 Jike Song albcamus@gmail.com 2009-01-05T06:57:03+00:00 4f628248a578585472e19e4cba2c604643af8c6c This patch reintroduce the ALLSOURCE_ARCHS support for tags/TAGS/ cscope targets. The Kbuild previously has this feature, but after moving the targets into scripts/tags.sh, ALLSOURCE_ARCHS disappears. It's something like this: $ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags cscope Signed-off-by: Jike Song <albcamus@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

kbuild: introduce $(kecho) convenience echo 2008-12-03T20:32:00+00:00 Mike Frysinger vapier@gentoo.org 2008-11-06T08:31:34+00:00 5410ecc0def8955ab99810c5626cc7e156991896 There is a bunch of places in the build system where we do 'echo' to show some nice status lines. This means we still get output when running in silent mode. So declare a new KECHO variable that only does 'echo' when we are in a suitable verbose build mode.
