From 56d5893615727bce4a8769c6b22340e20f9a3c33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 01:04:28 +0900 Subject: kbuild: do not create orphan built-in.a or obj-y objects Both 'obj-y += foo/' and 'obj-m += foo/' request Kbuild to visit the sub-directory foo/, but the difference is that only the former combines foo/built-in.a into the built-in.a of the current directory because everything in sub-directories visited by obj-m is supposed to be modular. So, it makes sense to create built-in.a only if that sub-directory is reachable by the chain of obj-y. Otherwise, built-in.a will not be linked into vmlinux anyway. For the same reason, it is pointless to compile obj-y objects in the directory visited by obj-m.
