<title>kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory</title>

<content type='text'>
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

There is no good reason to generate the syscall offset macros by
scripting since they are not derived from the syscall tables.

Define __NR_*_Linux macros directly in arch/mips/include/asm/unistd.h,
and clean up the Makefile and the shell script.

Many architectures duplicate similar shell scripts.

This commit converts mips to use scripts/syscalltbl.sh. This also
unifies syscall_table_32_o32.h and syscall_table_64_o32.h into
syscall_table_o32.h.

The offset parameters are unneeded here; __SYSCALL(nr, entry) is defined
as 'PTR entry', so the parameter 'nr' is not used in the first place.

With this commit, syscall tables and generated files are straight
mapped,  which makes things easier to understand.

  syscall_n32.tbl  --&gt;  syscall_table_n32.h
  syscall_n64.tbl  --&gt;  syscall_table_n64.h
  syscall_o32.tbl  --&gt;  syscall_table_o32.h

Then, the abi parameters are also unneeded.

Remove the $(srctree)/ prefix because we can rely on VPATH.

The rules in these Makefiles cannot detect the command line change
because the prerequisite 'FORCE' is missing.

Adding 'FORCE' will result in the headers being rebuilt every time
because the 'targets' additions are also wrong; the file paths in
'targets' must be relative to the current Makefile.

Fix all of them so the if_changed rules work correctly.
