Resend becasue subject is incorrect. LTO with MODVERSIONS will fail in generating correct CRC because the makefile rule doesn't work for make with version 3.8X. Refer to [1]: > When building modules(CONFIG_...=m), I found some of module versions > are incorrect and set to 0. > This can be found in build log for first clean build which shows > WARNING: EXPORT symbol "XXXX" [drivers/XXX/XXX.ko] version generation failed, > symbol will not be versioned. > But in second build(incremental build), the WARNING disappeared and the > module version becomes valid CRC and make someone who want to change > modules without updating kernel image can't insert their modules. > The problematic code is > + $(foreach n, $(filter-out FORCE,$^), \ > + $(if $(wildcard $(n).symversions), \ > + ; cat $(n).symversions >> $@.symversions)) The issue is fixed when make version upgrading to 4.2. Thus we need to check make version during selecting on LTO Kconfig. Add CONFIG_MAKE_VERSION which means MAKE_VERSION in canonical digits for arithmetic comparisons.
