[PATCH v5 09/10] kbuild: vmlinux.unstripped should always depend on .vmlinux.export.o

flat view
STALE437d

From: Alexey Gladkov <legion@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-07-24 13:50:35
Also in: linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

Revision v5 of 2 in this series.

Revisions (2)
  1. v5 current
  2. v6 [diff vs current]
Since .vmlinux.export.c is used to add generated by modpost modaliases
for builtin modules the .vmlinux.export.o is no longer optional and
should always be created. The generation of this file is not dependent
on CONFIG_MODULES.
