Subject: kbuild: do not set -w for vmlinux.o modpost
X-Git-Tag: accepted/tizen/unified/20230118.172025~7334^2~24
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5ab70ff4286f74732c082b65366bad39146d2b10;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

kbuild: do not set -w for vmlinux.o modpost

The -w option is meaningless for the first pass of modpost (vmlinux.o).

We know there are unresolved symbols in vmlinux.o, hence we skip
check_exports() and other checks when mod->is_vmlinux is set.

See the following part in the for-loop.

    if (mod->is_vmlinux || mod->from_dump)
            continue;
