In short, the motivation of this commit is to build a source package
without cleaning the source tree.
The deb-pkg and (src)rpm-pkg targets first run 'make clean' before
creating a source tarball. Otherwise build artifacts such as *.o,
*.a, etc. would be included in the tarball. Yet, the tarball ends up
containing several garbage files since 'make clean' does not clean
everything.
Cleaning the tree every time is annoying since it makes the incremental
build impossible. It is desirable to create a source tarball without
cleaning the tree.
In fact, there are some ways to achieve this.
The easiest solution is 'git archive'. 'make perf-tar*-src-pkg' uses
it, but I do not like it because it works only when the source tree is
managed by git, and all files you want in the tarball must be committed
in advance.
I want to make it work without relying on git. We can do this.
Files that are ignored by git are generated files, so should be excluded
from the source tarball. We can list them out by parsing the .gitignore
files. Of course, .gitignore does not cover all the cases, but it works
well enough.
tar(1) claims to support it:
--exclude-vcs-ignores
Exclude files that match patterns read from VCS-specific ignore files.
Supported files are: .cvsignore, .gitignore, .bzrignore, and .hgignore.
The best scenario would be to use 'tar --exclude-vcs-ignores', but this
option does not work. --exclude-vcs-ignore does not understand any of
the negation (!), preceding slash, following slash, etc.. So, this option
is just useless.
Hence, I wrote this gitignore parser. The previous version [1], written
in Python, was so slow. This version is implemented in C, so it works
much faster.
I imported the code from git (commit: 23c56f7bd5f1), so we get the same
result.
This tool traverses the source tree, parsing all .gitignore files, and
prints file paths that are ignored by git.
The output is similar to 'git ls-files --ignored --directory --others
--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore', except
[1] Not sorted
[2] No trailing slash for directories
[2] is intentional because tar's --exclude-from option cannot handle
trailing slashes.
[How to test this tool]
$ git clean -dfx
$ make -s -j$(nproc) defconfig all # or allmodconifg or whatever
$ git archive -o ../linux1.tar --prefix=./ HEAD
$ tar tf ../linux1.tar | LANG=C sort > ../file-list1 # files emitted by 'git archive'
$ make scripts_package
HOSTCC scripts/list-gitignored
$ scripts/list-gitignored --prefix=./ -o ../exclude-list
$ tar cf ../linux2.tar --exclude-from=../exclude-list .
$ tar tf ../linux2.tar | LANG=C sort > ../file-list2 # files emitted by 'tar'
$ diff ../file-list1 ../file-list2 | grep -E '^(<|>)'

The source tarball contains most of files that are tracked by git. You
see some diffs, but it is just because some .gitignore files are wrong.
