Subject: [PATCH] tools/gen_module_code: atomically rewrite the generated files

Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://gitlab.arm.com/arm-reference-solutions/corstone1000/external_system/rtx/-/issues/1]
Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@arm.com>

The gen_module rule in rules.mk is marked as .PHONY, so make will
execute it whenever it is mentioned. This results in gen_module_code
being executed 64 times for a Juno build.

However in heavily parallel builds there's a good chance that
gen_module_code is writing a file whilst the compiler is reading it
because make also doesn't know what files are generated by
gen_module_code.

The correct fix is to adjust the Makefiles so that the dependencies are
correct but this isn't trivial, so band-aid the problem by atomically
writing the generated files.
