From 1d351f1894342c378b96bb9ed89f8debb1e24e9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2022 13:21:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] revert "kbuild: fix -Wimplicit-function-declaration in license_is_gpl_compatible" It causes build failures with unusual CC/HOSTCC combinations. Quoting https://lkml.kernel.org/r/A222B1E6-69B8-4085-AD1B-27BDB72CA971@goldelico.com: HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.o - due to target missing In file included from include/linux/string.h:5, from scripts/mod/../../include/linux/license.h:5, from scripts/mod/modpost.c:24: include/linux/compiler.h:246:10: fatal error: asm/rwonce.h: No such file or directory 246 | #include | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. ... The problem is that HOSTCC is not necessarily the same compiler or even architecture as CC and pulling in or files indirectly isn't a good idea then. My toolchain is providing HOSTCC = gcc (MacPorts) and CC = arm-linux-gnueabihf (built from gcc source) and all running on Darwin. If I change the include to I can then "HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.c" but then it fails for "CC kernel/module/main.c" not finding : CC kernel/module/main.o - due to target missing In file included from kernel/module/main.c:43:0: ./include/linux/license.h:5:20: fatal error: string.h: No such file or directory #include ^ compilation terminated.
