kbuild: add verbose option to Section mismatch reporting in modpost If the config option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is not set and we see a Section mismatch present the following to the user: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es). To see additional details select "Enable full Section mismatch analysis" in the Kernel Hacking menu (CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH). If the option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is selected then be verbose in the Section mismatch reporting from mdopost. Sample outputs: WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.text+0x7396): Section mismatch in reference from the function discover_ebda() to the variable .init.data:ebda_addr The function discover_ebda() references the variable __initdata ebda_addr. This is often because discover_ebda lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of ebda_addr is wrong. WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.data+0x74d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pci_serial_quirks to the function .devexit.text:pci_plx9050_exit() The variable pci_serial_quirks references the function __devexit pci_plx9050_exit() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __exit* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console, WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x630): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_arch_register_cpu to the function .cpuinit.text:arch_register_cpu() The symbol arch_register_cpu is exported and annotated __cpuinit Fix this by removing the __cpuinit annotation of arch_register_cpu or drop the export.

modpost: Optionally ignore secondary errors seen if a single module build fails Commit ea4054a23 (modpost: handle huge numbers of modules) added support for building a large number of modules. Unfortunately, the commit changed the semantics of the makefile: Instead of passing only existing object files to modpost, make now passes all expected object files. If make was started with option -i, this results in a modpost error if a single file failed to build. Example with the current btrfs build falure on m68k: fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory make[1]: [__modpost] Error 1 (ignored) This error is followed by lots of errors such as: m68k-linux-gcc: error: arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.c: No such file or directory m68k-linux-gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. make[1]: [arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.o] Error 1 (ignored) This doesn't matter much for normal builds, but it is annoying for builds started with "make -i" due to the large number of secondary errors. Those errors unnececessarily clog any error log and make it difficult to find the real errors in the build. Fix the problem by adding a new parameter '-n' to modpost. If this parameter is specified, modpost reports but ignores missing object files. With this patch, error output from above problem is (with make -i): m68k-linux-ld: cannot find fs/btrfs/ioctl.o: No such file or directory make[2]: [fs/btrfs/btrfs.o] Error 1 (ignored) ... fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory (ignored) Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Michael Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

kbuild: allow assignment to {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE on the command line It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD on the command line - which is only used when building modules. {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify additional options to AS, CC, LD when building modules without overriding the original value. Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE that is used by arch specific files and free up {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on the command line. All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated. Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped. So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by two assignmnets. Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage from this.
