[PATCH 3/8] kbuild: refactor modversions build rules

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Thu Nov 15 2018 - 03:28:42 EST


Let $(CC) compile objects into normal files *.o instead of .tmp_*.o
whether CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is enabled or not. This will help simplify
build rules a lot.

I guess the reason of using .tmp_*.o for intermediate objects was
to avoid leaving incomplete *.o file (, whose timestamp says it is
up-to-date) when the genksyms tool failed for some reasons.

It no longer matters because any targets are deleted on errors since
commit 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target").
