Symbols.list is created only in the top directory.

Please move this to

# Top-level generic files

section with a leading slash.



Also, you need to add it to
Documentation/dontdiff

Please do not define SLIST.

Use Symbols.list directly.

klpclean is unneeded.

Add it to CLEAN_FILES

CLEAN_FILES += modules.builtin.modinfo Systems.list
