[PATCH 3/4] kbuild: separate out vmlinux.lds generation

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Thu Feb 25 2021 - 11:05:15 EST


This is a preparation for the CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS improvement.

In the new implementation of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS (next commit),
unused export symbols are trimmed at the link stage. Kbuild needs to
build the entire tree to know which symbols are needed by modules for
symbol resolution.

The list of needed symbols shall be generated after the directory
traverse, and included from vmlinux.lds.S and module.lds.S.

The build rule of module.lds.S is already separated as modules_prepare.

The build of vmlinux.lds must be delayed because such a list is not yet
available when Kbuild is visiting arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile.

Separate the build rule of vmlinux.lds, and invokes it from the top
Makefile.

I guarded the $(warning ) in scripts/Makefile.build, otherwise a false-
positive warning would be displayed for example when building ARCH=ia64
with CONFIG_IA64_PALINFO=m. Ideally, vmlinux.lds.S could be moved to a
different directory, but I am just doing less-invasive changes for now.
