linux-stable.git/arch/m68k/kernel/module.lds, branch master Linux kernel stable tree kbuild: preprocess module linker script 2020-09-24T15:36:41+00:00 Masahiro Yamada masahiroy@kernel.org 2020-09-08T04:27:08+00:00 596b0474d3d9b1242eab713f84d8873f9887d980 There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512) The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by 'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created by 'make modules_prepare'. You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by 'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from scripts/module.lds.S. scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the build artifacts under scripts/. You can add arch-specific sections in <asm/module.lds.h>.

There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we

The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter
is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by
'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created
by 'make modules_prepare'.

You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by
'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from

scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the
build artifacts under scripts/.

You can add arch-specific sections in <asm/module.lds.h>.

m68k: runtime patching infrastructure 2007-05-31T14:58:13+00:00 Roman Zippel zippel@linux-m68k.org 2007-05-31T07:40:50+00:00 fbe9c9612930e0604dc99ef2da7e063fa3278817 Add the basic infrastructure to allow runtime patching of kernel and modules to optimize a few functions with parameters, which are only calculated once during bootup and are otherwise constant. Use this for the conversion between virtual and physical addresses.
