From e9e81b634303b215e83beced03f04f02f7893442 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 00:42:15 +0900 Subject: kbuild: disallow multi-word in M= or KBUILD_EXTMOD $(firstword ...) in scripts/Makefile.modpost was added by commit 3f3fd3c05585 ("[PATCH] kbuild: allow multi-word $M in Makefile.modpost") to build multiple external module directories. It was a solution to resolve symbol dependencies when an external module depends on another external module. Commit 0d96fb20b7ed ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced another solution by passing symbol info via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, then broke the multi-word M= support. include $(if $(wildcard $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild), \ $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Makefile) ... does not work if KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words. This feature has been broken for more than a decade. Remove the bitrotten code, and stop parsing if M or KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words. As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst explains, if your module depends on another one, there are two solutions: - add a common top-level Kbuild file - use KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada --- scripts/Makefile.modpost | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'scripts/Makefile.modpost') diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.modpost b/scripts/Makefile.modpost index 957eed6a17a5..b79bf0e30d32 100644 --- a/scripts/Makefile.modpost +++ b/scripts/Makefile.modpost @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ include include/config/auto.conf include scripts/Kbuild.include kernelsymfile := $(objtree)/Module.symvers -modulesymfile := $(firstword $(KBUILD_EXTMOD))/Module.symvers +modulesymfile := $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Module.symvers MODPOST = scripts/mod/modpost \ $(if $(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS),-m) \ -- cgit
