There is also a typo in Makefile which causes a modules.livepatch file to be created in kernel sources even in case of building an external module. > diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile > index 2fdd8b40b7e0..459b9c9fe0a8 100644 > --- a/Makefile > +++ b/Makefile > @@ -1185,6 +1185,7 @@ PHONY += prepare0 > export extmod_prefix = $(if $(KBUILD_EXTMOD),$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/) > export MODORDER := $(extmod_prefix)modules.order > export MODULES_NSDEPS := $(extmod_prefix)modules.nsdeps > +export MODULES_LIVEPATCH := $(extmod-prefix)modules.livepatch This should be `$(extmod_prefix)`.
