From: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ff2e6efda0d5c51b33e2bcc0b0b981ac0a0ef214 upstream. [backported for dependency, skipped Makefile.modfinal change, because module BTF is not supported in 5.10] The ccache tool can be used to speed up cross-compilation, by calling the compiler and binutils through ccache. For example, following should work: $ export ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-" $ make M=drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/ but pahole fails to extract the BTF info from DWARF, breaking the build: CC [M] drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip//rockchipdrm.mod.o LD [M] drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip//rockchipdrm.ko BTF [M] drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip//rockchipdrm.ko aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy: invalid option -- 'J' Usage: aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy [option(s)] in-file [out-file] Copies a binary file, possibly transforming it in the process ... make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:156: __modpost] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1866: modules] Error 2 this fails because OBJCOPY is set to "ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-copy" and later pahole is executed with the following command line: LLVM_OBJCOPY=$(OBJCOPY) $(PAHOLE) -J --btf_base vmlinux $@ which gets expanded to: LLVM_OBJCOPY=ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy pahole -J ... instead of: LLVM_OBJCOPY="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy" pahole -J ...
