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 # Cc: Emil Velikov # Cc: Christoph Hellwig # Cc: Jessica Yu # Fixes: 367948220fce ("module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*") # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 5cf0fd591f2e7833405bdc7ce2176c3502e8a11e # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- defconfig # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- help # make -s -j 32 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 32 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- /kisskb/src/drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot_vcap.c: In function 'is1_entry_set': /kisskb/src/drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot_vcap.c:755:11: warning: missing braces around initializer [-Wmissing-braces] struct ocelot_vcap_u16 etype = {0}; ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot_vcap.c:755:11: warning: (near initialization for 'etype.value') [-Wmissing-braces] FIT description: Linux 5.11.0-g5cf0fd591f2e Created: Wed Feb 24 09:53:20 2021 Image 0 (kernel@0) Description: Linux 5.11.0-g5cf0fd591f2e Created: Wed Feb 24 09:53:20 2021 Type: Kernel Image Compression: gzip compressed Data Size: 5355279 Bytes = 5229.76 KiB = 5.11 MiB Architecture: MIPS OS: Linux Load Address: 0x80100000 Entry Point: 0x8099ed78 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: d44769a8b3b82df04bffce493323cf80efdb3045 Image 1 (fdt@boston) Description: img,boston Device Tree Created: Wed Feb 24 09:53:20 2021 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 3793 Bytes = 3.70 KiB = 0.00 MiB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 4799f50d688573234da6e9d7701234d394759ef4 Image 2 (fdt@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 device tree Created: Wed Feb 24 09:53:20 2021 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 1871 Bytes = 1.83 KiB = 0.00 MiB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 51b89b31605ee62038c8468c429af091dfc75ec7 Image 3 (fdt@ocelot_pcb123) Description: MSCC Ocelot PCB123 Device Tree Created: Wed Feb 24 09:53:20 2021 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 4659 Bytes = 4.55 KiB = 0.00 MiB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 5bcb6e4f21e8e5372544aa130b3bd097355a9050 Image 4 (fdt@ocelot_pcb120) Description: MSCC Ocelot PCB120 Device Tree Created: Wed Feb 24 09:53:20 2021 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 5418 Bytes = 5.29 KiB = 0.01 MiB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 93d882f2009a217e0fa9dab94788535ed2be8476 Image 5 (fdt@xilfpga) Description: MIPSfpga (xilfpga) Device Tree Created: Wed Feb 24 09:53:20 2021 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 2708 Bytes = 2.64 KiB = 0.00 MiB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 63d058b780f65e22da30f0a183433765f1807f1d Default Configuration: 'conf@default' Configuration 0 (conf@default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 Configuration 1 (conf@boston) Description: Boston Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@boston Configuration 2 (conf@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 Linux Kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@ni169445 Configuration 3 (conf@ocelot_pcb123) Description: Ocelot Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@ocelot_pcb123 Configuration 4 (conf@ocelot_pcb120) Description: Ocelot Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@ocelot_pcb120 Configuration 5 (conf@xilfpga) Description: MIPSfpga Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@xilfpga Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc4.9 # Build took: 0:01:47.053054
