From 865563924022d8a307ee6dbc6a9ab4fb4d461cce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 15:11:50 -0500 Subject: kbuild: fix building bzImage with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS enabled When building a specific target such as bzImage, modules aren't normally built. However if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, no built modules means none of the exported symbols are used and therefore they will all be trimmed away from the final kernel. A subsequent "make modules" will fail because modpost cannot find the needed symbols for those modules in the kernel binary. Let's make sure modules are also built whenever CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled and that the kernel binary is properly rebuilt accordingly.
