From: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit da05b143a308bd6a7a444401f9732678ae63fc70 ] vmlinux-objs-y is added to targets, which currently means that the EFI stub gets added to the targets as well. It shouldn't be added since it is built elsewhere. This confuses Makefile.build which interprets the EFI stub as a target $(obj)/$(objtree)/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a and will create drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/ underneath arch/x86/boot/compressed, to hold this supposed target, if building out-of-tree. [0] Fix this by pulling the stub out of vmlinux-objs-y into efi-obj-y.
