[PATCH v3 00/12] kbuild: create *.mod with directory path and remove MODVERDIR

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Wed Jul 17 2019 - 02:19:09 EST



This series kills the long standing MODVERDIR.

Since MODVERDIR has a flat structure, it cannot avoid a race
condition when somebody introduces a module name conflict.

Kbuild now reads modules.order to get the list of all modules.

The post-processing/installation stages will be more robust
and simpler.



Masahiro Yamada (12):
kbuild: do not create empty modules.order in the prepare stage
kbuild: get rid of kernel/ prefix from in-tree modules.{order,builtin}
kbuild: remove duplication from modules.order in sub-directories
scsi: remove pointless $(MODVERDIR)/$(obj)/53c700.ver
kbuild: modinst: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod
kbuild: modsign: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod
kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod
kbuild: export_report: read modules.order instead of
.tmp_versions/*.mod
kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and remove MODVERDIR
kbuild: remove the first line of *.mod files
kbuild: remove 'prepare1' target
kbuild: split out *.mod out of {single,multi}-used-m rules
