When cc-option and friends evaluate compiler flags, the temporary file $$TMP is created as an output object, and automatically cleaned up. The actual file path of $$TMP is .<pid>.tmp, here <pid> is the process ID of $(shell ...) invoked from cc-option. (Please note $$$$ is the escape sequence of $$). Such garbage files are cleaned up in most cases, but some compiler flags create additional output files. For example, -gsplit-dwarf creates a .dwo file. When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=y, you will see a bunch of .<pid>.dwo files left in the top of build directories. You may not notice them unless you do 'ls -a', but the garbage files will increase every time you run 'make'. This commit changes the temporary object path to .tmp_<pid>/tmp, and removes .tmp_<pid> directory when exiting. Separate build artifacts such as *.dwo will be cleaned up all together because their file paths are usually determined based on the base name of the object. Another example is -ftest-coverage, which outputs the coverage data into <base-name-of-object>.gcno Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
