[patch] powerpc: build modules outside the kernel tree fails, if it was built using O=

[Yuri Frolov]

Hello,

here is a corresponding bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11143
This patch should correctly export crtsavres.o in order to make O= option working.
Please, consider to apply.


Fix linking modules against crtsavres.o

Previously we got
  CC      drivers/char/hw_random/rng-core.mod.o

/there/src/buildroot.git.ppc/build_powerpc_nofpu/staging_dir/usr/bin/powerpc-linux-uclibc-ld: arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file: No such file or directory

	* Makefile (LDFLAGS_MODULE_PREREQ): New variable to hold prerequisite
          files for modules.
	* arch/powerpc/Makefile: add crtsavres.o to LDFLAGS_MODULE_PREREQ.
	* scripts/Makefile.modpost (cmd_as_o_S): Copy from Makefile.build.
	  (cmd_ld_ko_o): Also link LDFLAGS_MODULE_PREREQ.

Hi !

This is the same patch you already posted as "


[PATCH] Fix linking modules against
crtsavres.o
"

Or it's an update ?

I've asked Sam to review it already since it affects the main kernel
makefiles, waiting for his answer.

Cheers,
Ben.

It's the same, sorry for not mentioning it. The previous letter contains attachment crap, so I sent the letter with patch in-lined.

Hi Yuri.

I like the way you do the extra link in Makefile.modpost.
But you need to redo some parts as per comments below.

Please elaborate more on what this commit does.

Always good to include error messages.

But this GNUism can go - we do not use it in the kernel.

The naming sucks.
How about:

KBUILD_MODULE_LINK_SOURCE

This would tell the reader that this is source to be linked on a module.

And this is an arch specific thing so no need to preset it in top-level
Makefile.
But it is mandatory to include a description in Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt

Align this so cmd_as_o_S is under each other - as we do for cmd_cc_o_c

Good catch with the mkdir - needed for O= builds.
I think we shall wrap this in
ifdef KBUILD_MODULE_LINK_SOURCE
...
endif

So we do not have an empty rule when it is not defined.

Please fix up these things and resubmit.

Thanks,

It's a support file that needs to be linked against every module
(aka libgcc like) and thus needs to be built before any module.

Cheers,
Ben.

Yes.

My point was that the next version of the changelog should
include this information - as well as kbuild.txt.

Re: [patch] powerpc: build modules outside the kernel tree fails, if it was built using O=

[Yuri Frolov]

Hello, here is a fixed version.

Compile and export arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o in order to fix the
"arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o not found" error when "O=" option
is employed for external module compilation.
crtsavres.o is a support file, containing save/restore code from gcc,
simplified down for powerpc architecture needs.
This file needs to be linked against every module and thus to be built
before any module.
