linux-next: build failure after merge of the kbuild tree

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

 



Hi Masahiro,

After merging the kbuild tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:

In file included from include/linux/module.h:18,
                 from drivers/clocksource/timer-ti-dm.c:40:
drivers/clocksource/timer-ti-dm.c:973:26: error: expected ',' or ';' before 'DRIVER_NAME'
 MODULE_ALIAS("platform:" DRIVER_NAME);
                          ^~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/moduleparam.h:26:47: note: in definition of macro '__MODULE_INFO'
   = __MODULE_INFO_PREFIX __stringify(tag) "=" info
                                               ^~~~
include/linux/module.h:164:30: note: in expansion of macro 'MODULE_INFO'
 #define MODULE_ALIAS(_alias) MODULE_INFO(alias, _alias)
                              ^~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/clocksource/timer-ti-dm.c:973:1: note: in expansion of macro 'MODULE_ALIAS'
 MODULE_ALIAS("platform:" DRIVER_NAME);
 ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Caused by commit

  6a26793a7891 ("moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file")

DRIVER_NAME is not defined and this kbuild tree change has exposed it.
It has been this way since commit

  df28472a1b28 ("ARM: OMAP: dmtimer: platform driver")

From v3.2-rc1 in 2011.

I have applied the following patch for today.

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 6 May 2019 09:26:24 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] arm: omap: remove unused MODULE_ALIAS from timer-ti-dm.c

DRIVER_NAME has never been defined, so this cannot have ever been used.
