Subject: [PATCH] [stable v5.4] avoid __memcat_p link failure
Date: Tue,  4 May 2021 12:44:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210504104441.1317138-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The kernel test robot reports a link error when the stm driver is a
loadable module on any v5.4 kernel:

> ERROR: "__memcat_p" [drivers/hwtracing/stm/stm_core.ko] undefined!

This was fixed in mainline with commit 7273ad2b08f8 ("kbuild: link
lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y"), which
is fairly intrusive.

Fix the v5.4 specific issue with a minimal subset of that patch,
linking only the failing object into the kernel. Kernels before v4.20
are not affected.
