This patchset introduces the modinfo_kconfig aiming for a fine-tune control of module loading by simply checking Kconfig options during the compile time, then generates one modinfo-<target>-softmmu.c per target.
The main reason of this change is to fix problems like: $ ./qemu-system-s390x -nodefaults -display none -accel tcg -M none -device help | head Failed to open module: /.../hw-display-qxl.so: undefined symbol: vga_ioport_read Failed to open module: /.../hw-display-virtio-vga.so: undefined symbol: vmstate_vga_common Failed to open module: /.../hw-display-virtio-vga.so: undefined symbol: vmstate_vga_common Failed to open module: /.../hw-display-virtio-vga-gl.so: undefined symbol: have_vga Failed to open module: /.../hw-usb-smartcard.so: undefined symbol: ccid_card_ccid_attach Failed to open module: /.../hw-usb-redirect.so: undefined symbol: vmstate_usb_device Failed to open module: /.../hw-usb-host.so: undefined symbol: vmstate_usb_device With this patch, I run this small script successfuly: #!/bin/bash pushd ~/suse/virtualization/qemu/build for qemu in qemu-system-* do [[ -f "$qemu" ]] || continue res=$(./$qemu -nodefaults -display none -accel tcg -M none -device help 2>&1 | grep "Failed to" > /dev/null; echo $?) [[ $res -eq 0 ]] && echo "Error: $qemu" done popd Also run 'make check' and 'check-acceptance' without any failures. v2 -> v3: - Renamed module_needs to module_kconfig [Gerd] - Reworded the commit message a bit to improve a better understanding [myself] v1 -> v2: - Changed the approach to this problem after suggestions made by Paolo and Gerd.
