buildman will give that for you. This was from my world build
before/after wrapper, but for a single machine I have:
#!/bin/bash
# Initial and constant buildman args
ARGS="-devl"
ALL=0
KEEP=0
# Find our arguments
while test $# -ne 0; do
if [ "$1" == "--all" ]; then
ALL=1
shift 1
elif [ "$1" == "--branch" ]; then
BRANCH=$2
shift 2
elif [ "$1" == "--keep" ]; then
KEEP=1
ARGS="$ARGS -k"
shift 1
else
MACHINE=$1
shift
fi
done
if [ -z $MACHINE ]; then
echo Usage: $0 MACHINE [--all] [--keep] [--branch BRANCH]
exit 1
fi
# If not all, then only first/last
if [ $ALL -ne 1 ]; then
ARGS="$ARGS --step 0"
fi
if [ ! -z $BRANCH ]; then
ARGS="$ARGS -b $BRANCH"
else
ARGS="$ARGS -b `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`"
fi
mkdir -p /tmp/$MACHINE
export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=`date +%s`
./tools/buildman/buildman -o /tmp/$MACHINE $ARGS -SBC $MACHINE
./tools/buildman/buildman -o /tmp/$MACHINE $ARGS -SsB $MACHINE
[ $KEEP -eq 0 ] && rm -rf /tmp/$MACHINE
In a script called "uboot-size-test.sh" to dig in to individual cases
more.
