Hi Paul,

In today's linux-next build testing,
more "make ... explicitly non-modular"
candidates showed up.


arch/arm/plat-omap/dma.c
drivers/clocksource/timer-ti-dm.c
drivers/mfd/omap-usb-host.c
drivers/mfd/omap-usb-tll.c

Would you send patches?

I think EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() in omap-usb-tll.c
are also unnecessary.

Thanks.

Hi Masahiro,

After merging the kbuild tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:

In file included from include/linux/module.h:18,
                 from drivers/mfd/omap-usb-tll.c:21:

Caused by commit

  6a26793a7891 ("moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules

USBHS_DRIVER_NAME is not defined and this kbuild tree change has
exposed it. It has been this way since commit

  16fa3dc75c22 ("mfd: omap-usb-tll: HOST TLL platform driver")

From v3.7-rc1 in 2012.

I have applied the following patch for today.

USBHS_DRIVER_NAME has never been defined, so this cannot have ever
been used.

Hi Masahiro,

I am not 100% clear on what you are asking me.  There are lots and lots
of these in the kernel.... many fixed, and many remain unfortunately.

None of these are "new".  I just checked, and I have had patches for all
these for a long time, in my personal queue, found by my audits.

> Would you send patches?


It isn't that simple.  I wish it was.  Some subsystem maintainers are
glad to take the patches, and some think they are a waste of time and
reject them immediately.  Some I've sent just simply get "crickets".

What that means is, that I need to look at each maintainer's
requirements, and ensure the patch and commit log are matching
expectatins - I will not just spam out hundreds of patches across all
subsystems.  Anyone who has spent considerable time in linux development
knows that is a recipe for failure.

So I need to work across each subsystem - one at a time, with their
individual maintainer requirements in mind, and if you look at git
history, you will see that has been what I've tried to do when I had
free time to work on fixing these across the whole linux tree.

But fortunately, none of these represent a CVE/security issue, so I've
never had a reason to try and pretend there was any reason for an
immediate fix/merge - they just represent a better attention to detail
in the code we merge and support that I'd like to see happen tree-wide.

I appreciate that you are also interested in seeing all these fixed, and
I also wish they could all be solved in one version, but unfortunately I
don't think that is pragmatic.  So in the meantime, I will continue to
chip away at things when we are early in the dev cycle and not starting
the two week merge window, as we are just now.

Thanks,
Paul.

OK, I saw many patches from you
addressing this issue,
so I just thought you might be motivated to
fix them.

Anyway, I have a reason to fix them
because a patch in my tree is causing build errors.

So, I will do something for them
if you do not have a plan to send patches soon.

Thanks.

I understand now.  I missed the connection between these drivers and the
Kbuild change when I read this last night.  Sorry about that.

I can send the changes to those four files, but since I can't guarantee
they will be merged quickly (or at all!) - that will leave the commit in
the Kbuild tree causing build regressions for days or likely even weeks.

> So, I will do something for them

I will be happy to send them, but we just opened the two week merge
window, and a lot of maintainers don't like getting sent new patches
until the two week merge window has closed - so we should avoid that.

I'm not sure how you would like to proceed - one way would be that we
get the drivers above changed in 5.2 and you delay your kbuild change
until we start v5.3 - to that end I'd be happy to add the Kbuild change
to my internal build testing in the meantime, if you would like.

Now that I understand the problem, let me know what you would like to
do, and I'll do what I can to help out.

Thanks,
Paul.

I decided to merge minimal changes to my kbuild tree
since I did not want to delay the kbuild patch.

I got some Ack tags, so I applied this patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10931673/

I appreciate if you could fix those files in a complete way,
but there is no more reason to rush.
