[PATCH] kbuild: remove duplicate dependencies from .mod files

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

 



With CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_SYMS, if a module has enough dependencies to
exceed the default xargs command line size limit, the output is split
into multiple lines, which can result in used symbols getting trimmed.

This change removes duplicate dependencies, which will reduce the
probability of this happening and makes .mod files smaller and easier
to read.
