2024-04-17	s390/expoline: Make modules use kernel expolines	Vasily Gorbik	2	-15/+0
	Currently, kernel modules contain their own set of expoline thunks. In the case of EXPOLINE_EXTERN, this involves postlinking of precompiled expoline.o. expoline.o is also necessary for out-of-source tree module builds. Now that the kernel modules area is less than 4 GB away from kernel expoline thunks, make modules use kernel expolines. Also make EXPOLINE_EXTERN the default if the compiler supports it. This simplifies build and aligns with the approach adopted by other architectures. Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@linux.ibm.com>
2022-07-13	s390/nospec: build expoline.o for modules_prepare target	Vasily Gorbik	2	-0/+15
	When CONFIG_EXPOLINE_EXTERN is used expoline thunks are generated from arch/s390/lib/expoline.S and postlinked into every module. This is also true for external modules. Add expoline.o build to the modules_prepare target.
