Kbuild: lto: fix module versionings mismatch in GNU make 3.X
When building modules(CONFIG_...=m), I found some of module versions are incorrect and set to 0. This can be found in build log for first clean build which shows WARNING: EXPORT symbol "XXXX" [drivers/XXX/XXX.ko] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned. But in second build(incremental build), the WARNING disappeared and the module version becomes valid CRC and make someone who want to change modules without updating kernel image can't insert their modules. The problematic code is + $(foreach n, $(filter-out FORCE,$^), \ + $(if $(wildcard $(n).symversions), \ + ; cat $(n).symversions >> $@.symversions)) For example: rm -f fs/notify/built-in.a.symversions ; rm -f fs/notify/built-in.a; \ llvm-ar cDPrST fs/notify/built-in.a fs/notify/fsnotify.o \ fs/notify/notification.o fs/notify/group.o ... `foreach n` shows nothing to `cat` into $(n).symversions because `if $(wildcard $(n).symversions)` return nothing, but actually they do exist during this line was executed. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168580 Jun 13 19:10 fs/notify/fsnotify.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 Jun 13 19:10 fs/notify/fsnotify.o.symversions The reason is the $(n).symversions are generated at runtime, but Makefile wildcard function expends and checks the file exist or not during parsing the Makefile. Thus fix this by use `test` shell command to check the file existence in runtime. Rebase from both: 1. [https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210616080252.32046-1-lecopzer.chen@mediatek.com/] 2.
