From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> The 'select FB_CORE' statement moved from CONFIG_DRM to DRM_CLIENT_LIB, but there are now configurations that have code calling into fb_core as built-in even though the client_lib itself is a loadable module: x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fbdev_shmem.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_driver_fbdev_probe': drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0x1fc): undefined reference to `fb_deferred_io_init' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fbdev_shmem.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_fb_destroy': drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0x2e1): undefined reference to `fb_deferred_io_cleanup' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fbdev_shmem.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_fb_mmap': drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0x34c): undefined reference to `fb_deferred_io_mmap' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fbdev_shmem.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_defio_imageblit': drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0x35f): undefined reference to `sys_imageblit' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fbdev_shmem.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_defio_copyarea': drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0x38b): undefined reference to `sys_copyarea' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fbdev_shmem.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_defio_fillrect': drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0x3b7): undefined reference to `sys_fillrect' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fbdev_shmem.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_defio_write': drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0x3e9): undefined reference to `fb_sys_write' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fbdev_shmem.o: in function `drm_fbdev_shmem_defio_read': drm_fbdev_shmem.c:(.text+0x413): undefined reference to `fb_sys_read' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.o: in function `drm_fb_helper_set_suspend': drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x2c6): undefined reference to `fb_set_suspend' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.o: in function `drm_fb_helper_resume_worker': drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x2e1): undefined reference to `fb_set_suspend' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.o: in function `drm_fb_helper_alloc_info': drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x33a): undefined reference to `framebuffer_alloc' x86_64-linux-ld: drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x359): undefined reference to `fb_alloc_cmap' x86_64-linux-ld: drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x368): undefined reference to `framebuffer_release' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.o: in function `drm_fb_helper_release_info': drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x3a4): undefined reference to `fb_dealloc_cmap' x86_64-linux-ld: drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x3ab): undefined reference to `framebuffer_release' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.o: in function `drm_fb_helper_unregister_info': drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x3bb): undefined reference to `unregister_framebuffer' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.o: in function `__drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock': drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0xb6d): undefined reference to `register_framebuffer' x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.o: in function `drm_fb_helper_set_suspend_unlocked': drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x167a): undefined reference to `fb_set_suspend' Since the code that calls into fb_core is not actually in the client_lib module but in other helper libraries, move the 'select' again to the places that actually call into fb_core, in this case DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER and DRM_KMS_HELPER. Fixes: dadd28d4142f ("drm/client: Add client-lib module") Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> --- I have only given this light build testing. It seems sensible on the surface, but there is a chance that there are additional helpers that need the same 'select'. Moving it into CONFIG_DRM itself would be the safer option, but that seems to defeat the purpose of the client-lib module. --- drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig b/drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig index a4a092ee70d9..4f21bff6282a 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig @@ -98,6 +98,7 @@ config DRM_KUNIT_TEST config DRM_KMS_HELPER tristate depends on DRM + select FB_CORE if DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION help CRTC helpers for KMS drivers. @@ -220,7 +221,6 @@ config DRM_CLIENT_LIB tristate depends on DRM select DRM_KMS_HELPER if DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION - select FB_CORE if DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION help This option enables the DRM client library and selects all modules and components according to the enabled clients. @@ -372,6 +372,7 @@ config DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER tristate depends on DRM && MMU select FB_SYSMEM_HELPERS_DEFERRED if DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION + select FB_CORE if DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION help Choose this if you need the GEM shmem helper functions -- 2.39.5
