[PATCH] accel: work around DRM_ACCEL dependencies

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

At the moment, accel drivers can be built-in even with CONFIG_DRM=m,
but this causes a link failure:

x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/accel/ivpu/ivpu_drv.o: in function `ivpu_dev_init':
ivpu_drv.c:(.text+0x1535): undefined reference to `drmm_kmalloc'
x86_64-linux-ld: ivpu_drv.c:(.text+0x1562): undefined reference to `drmm_kmalloc'
x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/accel/ivpu/ivpu_drv.o: in function `ivpu_remove':
ivpu_drv.c:(.text+0x1faa): undefined reference to `drm_dev_unregister'
x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/accel/ivpu/ivpu_drv.o: in function `ivpu_probe':
ivpu_drv.c:(.text+0x1fef): undefined reference to `__devm_drm_dev_alloc'

This could be avoided by making DRM_ACCEL a tristate symbol, which
would mean that every ACCEL driver is guarantee to be able to link
against DRM as well. However, having both as =m causes another link
failure because the DRM core code also links against the accel driver:

x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.o: in function `drm_minor_register':
drm_drv.c:(.text+0x259): undefined reference to `accel_debugfs_init'
x86_64-linux-ld: drm_drv.c:(.text+0x298): undefined reference to `accel_minor_replace'

I think it will be necessary to establish a link hierarchy between drm.ko
and drm_accel.ko to avoid circular dependencies like this, but until then
the only way that both can be used is to have both subsystems built into
the kernel. Enforce this using a Kconfig dependency.
