I was concerned about that, but I kinda thought they went together and it would be neater to take them out in one go -- but I'd be happy to keep them in and only drop MODULE_LICENSE. > Moreover, many of the affected drivers might be converted into modules > in the near or far future. > > If the presence of these causes issues for the tooling, perhaps the > tooling can be fixed instead? Only MODULE_LICENSE invokes MODULE_FILE and thus ends up introducing a KBUILD_MODOBJS entry that triggers things going wrong iff not a module: so only it needs to go out (or be replaced with a variant that doesn't invoke MODULE_FILE, if you want to keep the license in too -- but if the thing is no longer a standalone entity at all I'm not sure what meaning it could possibly have).

As far as I can tell, the general trend is to make more things modules, so there is a good chance that these come back eventually. If the information in the MODULE_LICENSE field isn't wrong, I would just leave it in there. Arnd

In particular after commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf") we rely on the module license tag to generate the modules.builtin file. This in turn is used to allow modprobe to *not* fail when trying to load a module which is built-in. So we can't just disable the tag for when the code is built-in as *want* to carry it when modules are built-in, that is the point, to help userspace with this determination. I don't think we want to revert 8b41fc4454e as it means we'd force Kbuild to traverse the source tree twice. Geert's point was not keeping MODULE_LICENSE() but instead the other MODULE_*() crap for things which are not modules in case in the future code becomes a module... But I don't see the point in keeping things around just in case, if we want to keep things simple. Just use the SPDX license tag for the license. Luis

Just use the SPDX license tag for the license. Or if you really want to keep it just make it an *eye-sore*, and comment it out. I don't see why at build-time we should suffer. Luis

Just use the SPDX license tag for the license. It would be very helpful if we could just autogenerate the module license information from the SPDX tags..

If we have a bool driver 'foo.ko' in modules.builtin, 'modprobe foo' will not fail where you expect it will fail. Is it so important to make this strict? I do not think so. What is a point for a user to realize "Oh, I did not know foo cannot be compiled as a module" Re-read the commit description of bc081dd6e9f622c73334dc465359168543ccaabf The motivation of module.builtin is to know the functionality 'foo' is available (via built-in or module, whatever). In this sense, having always-builtin entries in module.builtin is OK. I do not see any sense in the tooling mess in this patch set. > So we can't just disable the tag for when the code is built-in as *want* > to carry it when modules are built-in, that is the point, to help > userspace with this determination. > > I don't think we want to revert 8b41fc4454e as it means we'd force Kbuild to > traverse the source tree twice.

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing object file as a module when it is not, which might cause it to spuriously fail when trying to load something that is built in to the kernel. They also cause misconstruction of modules.builtin.objs, leading to incorrect output in kallmodsyms (notating things as being in modules when they actually cannot be built as a module at all). Automatically identified with the new tristate checker, and purged with sed and a subsequent make allmodconfig to double-check.
