From bbc55bded4aaf47d6f2bd9389fc8d3a3821d18c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 21:38:07 +0900 Subject: modpost: dump missing namespaces into a single modules.nsdeps file The modpost, with the -d option given, generates per-module .ns_deps files. Kbuild generates per-module .mod files to carry module information. This is convenient because Make handles multiple jobs in parallel when the -j option is given. On the other hand, the modpost always runs as a single thread. I do not see a strong reason to produce separate .ns_deps files. This commit changes the modpost to generate just one file, modules.nsdeps, each line of which has the following format: : Please note it contains *missing* namespaces instead of required ones. So, modules.nsdeps is empty if the namespace dependency is all good. This will work more efficiently because spatch will no longer process already imported namespaces. I removed the '(if needed)' from the nsdeps log since spatch is invoked only when needed. This also solves the stale .ns_deps problem reported by Jessica Yu: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/28/467 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Tested-by: Jessica Yu Acked-by: Jessica Yu Reviewed-by: Matthias Maennich Tested-by: Matthias Maennich --- 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 0089417760f9..62e127028b48 100644 --- a/scripts/Makefile.modpost +++ b/scripts/Makefile.modpost @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ __modpost: else MODPOST += $(subst -i,-n,$(filter -i,$(MAKEFLAGS))) -s -T - \ - $(if $(KBUILD_NSDEPS),-d) + $(if $(KBUILD_NSDEPS),-d modules.nsdeps) ifeq ($(KBUILD_EXTMOD),) MODPOST += $(wildcard vmlinux) -- cgit v1.2.3
