[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 1/2] kbuild: add dependency from vmlinux to sorttable

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon Apr 07 2025 - 20:55:31 EST


From: Xi Ruoyao <xry111@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 82c09de2d4c472ab1b973e6e033671020691e637 ]

Without this dependency it's really puzzling when we bisect for a "bad"
commit in a series of sorttable change: when "git bisect" switches to
another commit, "make" just does nothing to vmlinux.
