From 5573b4daa26a0cf15aa0fecd7f1be16e0b6157bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2023 11:26:43 +0900 Subject: kbuild: do not automatically add -w option to modpost When there is a missing input file (vmlinux.o or Module.symvers), you are likely to get a ton of unresolved symbols. Currently, Kbuild automatically adds the -w option to allow module builds to continue with warnings instead of errors. This may not be what the user expects because it is generally more useful to catch all possible issues at build time instead of at run time. Let's not do what the user did not ask. If you still want to build modules anyway, you can proceed by explicitly setting KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1. Since you may miss a real issue, you need to be aware of what you are doing.
