[PATCH 1/2] KVM: x86: leave kvm.ko out of the build if no vendor module is requested
From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Thu Oct 03 2024 - 19:08:34 EST
kvm.ko is nothing but library code shared by kvm-intel.ko and kvm-amd.ko.
It provides no functionality on its own and it is unnecessary unless one
of the vendor-specific module is compiled. In particular, /dev/kvm is
not created until one of kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko is loaded.
Use CONFIG_KVM to decide if it is built-in or a module, but use the
vendor-specific modules for the actual decision on whether to build it.
This also fixes a build failure when CONFIG_KVM_INTEL and CONFIG_KVM_AMD
are both disabled. The cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback() function
is called from kvm.ko, but it is only defined if at least one of
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL and CONFIG_KVM_AMD is provided.
Fixes: 590b09b1d88e ("KVM: x86: Register "emergency disable" callbacks when virt is enabled")
