Josh,
I still get build failures and I've pared it down to x86_64 defconfig plus:
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y
And it seems like some modules may get the .tmp_foo.o treatment while
others end up foo.o so something like the following will not work:
cmd_stackvalidate = $(if $(patsubst n%,, \
$(STACKVALIDATE_$(basetarget).o)$(STACKVALIDATE)y), \
$(__stackvalidate) $(nofp) "$(@D)/.tmp_$(@F)";)
In addition, I'm not sure if skipping modules like STACKVALIDATE_foo.o=n
will still function properly for modversioned modules.
I'll try to look at this more tomorrow,
