From 6ca89ac39e48b1e83e97709ba8b4a851132815c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2021 15:14:16 +0900 Subject: kbuild: fix CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS build for ppc64 [ Upstream commit 29500f15b54b63ad0ea60b58e85144262bd24df2 ] Stephen Rothwell reported a build error on ppc64 when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled. Jessica Yu pointed out the cause of the error with the reference to the ppc64 ELF ABI: "Symbol names with a dot (.) prefix are reserved for holding entry point addresses. The value of a symbol named ".FN", if it exists, is the entry point of the function "FN". As it turned out, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS has never worked for ppc64, but this issue has been unnoticed until recently because this option depends on !UNUSED_SYMBOLS hence is disabled by all{mod,yes}config. (Then, it was uncovered by another patch removing UNUSED_SYMBOLS.) Removing the dot prefix in scripts/gen_autoksyms.sh fixes the issue. Please note it must be done before 'sort -u' because modules have both ._mcount and _mcount undefined when CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y.
