kbuild: disallow multi-word in M= or KBUILD_EXTMOD
$(firstword ...) in scripts/Makefile.modpost was added by commit 3f3fd3c05585 ("[PATCH] kbuild: allow multi-word $M in Makefile.modpost") to build multiple external module directories. It was a solution to resolve symbol dependencies when an external module depends on another external module. Commit 0d96fb20b7ed ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced another solution by passing symbol info via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, then broke the multi-word M= support. include $(if $(wildcard $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild), \ $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Makefile) ... does not work if KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words. This feature has been broken for more than a decade. Remove the bitrotten code, and stop parsing if M or KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words. As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst explains, if your module depends on another one, there are two solutions: - add a common top-level Kbuild file - use KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
