I tried with 'targets' and 'always-y'. Both doesn't work for me.
I narraw it down to the following example:
cat > Makefile << _EOF_
obj-m += foo.o
ldflags-y += -T $(src)/kpatch.lds
always-y += kpatch.lds
foo-objs += bar.o
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD)
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
_EOF_
Take a look into scripts/Makefile.build:488:
__build: $(if $(KBUILD_BUILTIN), $(targets-for-builtin)) \
$(if $(KBUILD_MODULES), $(targets-for-modules)) \
$(subdir-ym) $(always-y)
@:
'always-y' is built after 'targets-for-modules'. This makes
'targets-for-modules' fails because kpatch.lds isn't there.
For 'targets', in case of OOT, does not seem to be useful.
What change do you suggest to make to fix this kind of Makefile?
Thanks,
