From: "Ashutosh Naik" This fixes a compile time warning which occurs whenever a static library is linked into a kernel module. MODPOST tries to look for a "..cmd" file to look for its dependencies, but that file doesn't exist or get generated for static libraries. This patch prevents modpost from looking for a .cmd file when a module is linked with a static library [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Ashutosh Naik Cc: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton --- scripts/mod/sumversion.c | 12 +++++++++++- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN scripts/mod/sumversion.c~kbuild-prevent-modpost-from-looking-for-a-cmd-file-for-a-static-library-linked-into-a-module scripts/mod/sumversion.c --- a/scripts/mod/sumversion.c~kbuild-prevent-modpost-from-looking-for-a-cmd-file-for-a-static-library-linked-into-a-module +++ a/scripts/mod/sumversion.c @@ -290,6 +290,15 @@ static int parse_file(const char *fname, release_file(file, len); return 1; } +/* Check whether the file is a static library or not */ +static int is_static_library(const char *objfile) +{ + int len = strlen(objfile); + if (objfile[len - 2] == '.' && objfile[len - 1] == 'a') + return 1; + else + return 0; +} /* We have dir/file.o.
