For no actual upside, since # no distro is likely to ever be able to enable it (because they all # support external kernel modules). # # Rather than re-enable EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL, this just disables the # TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option by marking it broken. I'm tempted to just # remove the support entirely, but maybe somebody has a use-case and can # fix the behavior of it. # # I could have just disabled it for COMPILE_TEST, but it really smells # like the TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option is badly done and not really useful, # so this takes the more direct approach - let's see if anybody ever # actually notices or complains. # # Cc: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> # Cc: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> # Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> # Cc: Jessica Yu <jeyu@kernel.org> # Fixes: 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*") # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 5cf0fd591f2e7833405bdc7ce2176c3502e8a11e # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=um O=/kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux- SUBARCH=x86_64 defconfig # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=um O=/kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux- SUBARCH=x86_64 help # make -s -j 48 ARCH=um O=/kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux- SUBARCH=x86_64 olddefconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=um O=/kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux- SUBARCH=x86_64 LINK linux Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 # Build took: 0:00:43.967973
