[PATCH 2/2] kbuild: do not export LDFLAGS_vmlinux to decompressor Makefiles

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

 



Commit 3ec8a5b33dea ("kbuild: do not export LDFLAGS_vmlinux") unexported
LDFLAGS_vmlinux because LDFLAGS_vmlinux in the top Makefile and the one
in arch/*/boot/compressed/Makefile are unrelated to each other. It is
just the decompressors, arch/*/boot/compressed/vmlinux just happen to
have the same base name.

Commit 5d4aeffbf709 ("kbuild: rebuild .vmlinux.export.o when its
prerequisite is updated") accidentally exported it again.

The issue reported so far is $(NM) error message when building the
ARM decompressor with GNU Make >= 4.4. This was fixed by refactoring
arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile.

The error message fixed by 3ec8a5b33dea is very likely to happen in the
current cleaning code, but it would still be possible on systems with a
huge number of CPUs.

Anyway, LDFLAGS_vmlinux should not be exported to the decompressor
Makefiles.
