Confirmed with a built-from-sources 4.8.5 on current master (d2ff0ff2c23f). The ICE also happens with 4.6.4. With 8.1.0, however, we get an error instead: In file included from drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c:20: drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c: In function 'pctv452e_frontend_attach': ./drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stb0899_drv.h:151:36: error: weak declaration of 'stb0899_attach' being applied to a already existing, static definition static inline struct dvb_frontend *stb0899_attach(struct stb0899_config *config, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Which seems to have been spotted by kbuild months ago: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/10/358 The problem is in pctv452e_frontend_attach(): /* * dvb_frontend will call dvb_detach for both stb0899_detach * and stb0899_release but we only do dvb_attach(stb0899_attach). * Increment the module refcount instead. */ symbol_get(stb0899_attach); Here symbol_get() is declaring a weak function (due to !CONFIG_MODULES) while this definition in stb0899_drv.h occurs (due to !CONFIG_DVB_STB0899): static inline struct dvb_frontend *stb0899_attach(struct stb0899_config *config, struct i2c_adapter *i2c) { printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: Driver disabled by Kconfig\n", __func__); return NULL; } I guess pctv452e should require CONFIG_DVB_STB0899, or similar.
