scripts/mkutf8data is used only when regenerating utf8data.h,
which never happens in the normal kernel build. However, it is
irrespectively built if CONFIG_UNICODE is enabled.
Moreover, there is no good reason for it to reside in the scripts/
directory since it is only used in fs/unicode/.
Hence, move it from scripts/ to fs/unicode/.
In some cases, we bypass build artifacts in the normal build. The
conventional way to do so is to surround the code with ifdef REGENERATE_*.
For example,
- 7373f4f83c ("kbuild: add implicit rules for parser generation")
- 6aaf49b495 ("crypto: arm,arm64 - Fix random regeneration of S_shipped")
I rewrote the rule in a more kbuild'ish style.
In the normal build, utf8data.h is just shipped from the check-in file.
$ make
[ snip ]
SHIPPED fs/unicode/utf8data.h
CC fs/unicode/utf8-norm.o
CC fs/unicode/utf8-core.o
CC fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.o
AR fs/unicode/built-in.a
If you want to generate utf8data.h based on UCD, put *.txt files into
fs/unicode/, then pass REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 from the command line.
The mkutf8data tool will be automatically compiled to generate the
utf8data.h from the *.txt files.
$ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1
[ snip ]
HOSTCC fs/unicode/mkutf8data
GEN fs/unicode/utf8data.h
CC fs/unicode/utf8-norm.o
CC fs/unicode/utf8-core.o
CC fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.o
AR fs/unicode/built-in.a
I renamed the check-in utf8data.h to utf8data.h_shipped so that this
will work for the out-of-tree build.
You can update it based on the latest UCD like this:
$ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 fs/unicode/
$ cp fs/unicode/utf8data.h fs/unicode/utf8data.h_shipped
Also, I added entries to .gitignore and dontdiff.
