From 78e9e56af3858bf2c52c065daa6c8bee0d72048c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 5 May 2022 16:22:35 +0900 Subject: kbuild: record symbol versions in *.cmd files When CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the output from genksyms is saved in separate *.symversions files, and will be used much later when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y because it is impossible to update LLVM bit code here. This approach is not robust because: - *.symversions may or may not exist. If *.symversions does not exist, we never know if it is missing for legitimate reason (i.e. no EXPORT_SYMBOL) or something bad has happened (for example, the user accidentally deleted it). Once it occurs, it is not self-healing because *.symversions is generated as a side effect. - stale (i.e. invalid) *.symversions might be picked up if an object is generated in a non-ordinary way, and corresponding *.symversions (, which was generated by old builds) just happen to exist. A more robust approach is to save symbol versions in *.cmd files because: - *.cmd always exists (if the object is generated by if_changed rule or friends). Even if the user accidentally deletes it, it will be regenerated in the next build. - *.cmd is always re-generated when the object is updated. This avoid stale version information being picked up. I will remove *.symversions later.
